Hunter has
submitted a new version of his ArmA mod aimed for mission designers and testers.
Quote Hunter :
I noticed that when the player is killed in a single player mission, other units in the players group continued to fight, or moved on to the next waypoint or mission objective, so it seemed that the game engine was continuing with the mission even though the player was dead.
So I thought it would be a great idea to create a mod that would use a free camera to allow the user to follow how the mission progresses while the player is dead, and then, at a suitable moment, respawn back into the same mission and continue.
I wrote this mod because it allows mission designers to play-test missions to the end, so that the mission objectives and end results could always be seen.
What I have done with the SPR Mod is to allow the player to die as normal, but the user can then watch the rest of the mission progress without the player.
I have designed it so that the user can choose to respawn anywhere on the current map, change sides, take control of any vehicle or unit in the mission, or just observe the mission, mission designers will find this very useful.
I have also included a modified Kegetys spectator script so that the user can have complete control over monitoring the mission.
In addition to monitoring missions in the editor, the SPR Mod will give the user full control over any single player mission in the game including the campaign missions.
Check the included readme for more info about the key controls.
