Multiplayer

Tactical Combat Link can be installed on the local hosted / dedicated server only. In this case clients which join the host / dedicated server and do not have Tactical Combat Link installed won't be able to use the Explosion F.X. and Sound F.X. features.

Basic configuration

Default parameters are configured to offer a well balanced experience for players. To tune TCL, you'll have to change parameters contained in files in UserConfig\TCL folder. See Advanced configuration for more information.

Script: ( Based )

Installing

UnPbo the ​TCL_System.pbo​ in “​@TCL\AddOns\​” and copy the unPboed “​TCL_System​” folder into your mission rootfolder.

Create a ​init.sqf​ in your mission root folder and write ( copy > paste ) the following 2 lines into your created ​init.sqf​ to initialize Tactical Combat Link script based.

TCL_Path = "TCL_System\";
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers (TCL_Path+"TCL_Preprocess.sqf");

Basic configuration

Default parameters are configured to offer a well balanced experience for players. To tune TCL, you'll have to add some lines in your mission init.sqf. In this case, be sure to set ​TCL_Initialize = True; after your changes.

For example, in your init.sqf :

TCL_Debug = [True, True, True, True, False, True, False];
TCL_Initialize = True;
