Description:
A Dynamic Whole Map SP/COOP mission focusing on smooth performance, offering wide customization options and full freedom for gameplay in random generated world events that react on player's actions. Where ever you go, there is life and events to see depending local relationship values and what kind of enemy/friendly installations there happens currently to be. Capture factories, piers, power plants to get resources faster to custom build AI guarded guardposts with custom easy-to-use constructing system or spend it to call more support that you can high command if wanted. Or drive any land vehicle, chopper or plane, capturing dynamic generating zones around map. Keep local civilians happy by commiting tasks for them or turn them rioting by raiding villages for more resources. Experience the campaign long mission run by over 400 scripts that are constantly updated and expanded.

Overview:

[Variable 322]

The Sa0k strikes back! looking forward to see what your talent gonna make out of Arma 3 :)

[Guest]

Nice! Can't wait for the coop mission, it's just what ArmA 3 needs at the moment.

[jimbojones 2]

Thank you for this Sa0k!

[khugan 24]

Thanks much! Your sp missions are always appreciated.

[Binkowski 26]

Great to see you in ArmA3 SaOK :)

[TenBensons 10]

Cool, gunna test this out in a bit. I think you should have called it Stratisfaction *baddum tsss* :cool:

[froggyluv 2136]

Yeah! Big thanks, although I never tried in Arma2 this sounds right about what the Arma 3 doctor ordered :)

[SaOk 112]

Thanks everyone, :) I am currently lowering the unit amounts some bit which seems to make the mission more smooth. Update coming very soon with other new stuff/features.

[CubicVirtuoso 10]

Hopefully for the coop version there will be a respawn script and perhaps some gear or customization for the singleplayer version. Hate relying on my friendly AI to take down armour.

[SaOk 112]

There will be base respawn in the next version (to compensate the more poor savegame system in MP), also much gear crates and rest at campfire function.

[jumpinghubert 49]

Hi SaOk,

thanks for the mission! I have a little problem. I wanted to play it as sp mission and put it in missions folder......but doesnt find it in the ingame menu?

[SaOk 112]

Hello and thanks,

there isnt yet SP mission list. You need to put the pbo file into MPmissions folder and play it from multiplayer lobby. Once they add the SP menu, the mission should work in the old way too.

[kemo 10]

looks great, can't wait for COOP version, definitely give it a shot, thanks! Keep up the great work dude!

[SaOk 112]

New version 0.41 is here with important performance tweaks and new additions. See the first post.

Change Log:

0.41

-Important performance tweaks

-Player can now skip time at campfire

-Respawn added with new location

-Much gear crates added

-Empty Choppers/Boats added

-Unwanted Team-members can be deleted (via radio)

-Other tweaks/fixes

[DShKM 18]

Great to see you're already into ArmA 3 SaOk! I've always enjoyed your missions and campaigns! :)

[dingbat91 0]

would it be possible for some sort of vehicle request feature. sometimes it'd be useful to be able to bear down with some heavier firepower? just curious as I'm really enjoying this mission!

thanks for your effort and producing such a decent mission so quickly :)

[SaOk 112]

Thanks, and sure I could add something like that. I have the smoke signal scripts already in the mission to havent yet tested if the old smokegrenade class names work. When throwing smoke, nearby friendly groups (infantry and vehicles) should head at you. I will check it and also add some heavier support that player could call (arty, fighter choppers, maybe mg vehicles). The transport choppers dosent yet work, there is no invisble helipads to order AI pilot to land and no parachutes.

[dingbat91 0]

Heya again Sa0k

probably already seen it, but I thought the urban patrol script might be useful to you http://kronzky.info/ups/

just passing along the info!

[SaOk 112]

Hi and thanks, :) I am using the lighter (but less detailed) BIS patrol script and my own scripts to move AI. But I may revisit that script some point.

New version is coming soon. I disable now simulation for more far alone units which increase FPS some bit. Also AI shoots flares at night time (which look absolute awesome now in A3) and there is air support. Going to add some more new stuff before releasing.

[grillob3 11]

Is it possible to make it Headless client friendly? I like to play singleplayer missions with dedicated server+HC and game at the same machine.Performance is way better.

And http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=10102 is working on arma 3! you should use it! i tested yesterday.

Edited March 7, 2013 by Grillob3

[Kedrowski 1]

Really love this!

[SaOk 112]

I spawn the units instead of catching. There is normally 50-80 units in the mission at the same time. In the next version, I have also distance check (different distance depending if there unit is civilian/soldier, in house or not) disabling simulation for certain units. I plan to add also a check if player is facing at the units direction or not.

For me the FPS is now very smooth outside of the village and especially outside of the airfield (which is stuttering quite bad). Also I noticed the in-house units are spawned mostly in wc´s there, going to fix that. :D

Edit: I will try to add that Headless client thing for the coop version which will also support dedicated server.
