COOP 32 - Resistance (FIA vs CSAT)

[lkincheloe 12]

This mission is a cooperative mission, putting the players into the role of the FIA resistance group (BLUFOR) who are attempting to retake Altis from CSAT forces (OPFOR). What makes this mission unique is that you start with very limited equipment, you have to capture various towns, villages, and bases in order to gather enough firepower to be able to liberate the three major cities in Altis: Kavala, Athira, and Pyrgos.

Current Features:

• Multiple levels of AOs - the bigger they are the more difficult they become!
  
• Limited BLUFOR Equipment - You start with the last scraps of the FIA arsenal, you'll have to find more if you want to win.
  
• Dynamic Opposition - Uses the flexible EOS and AISpawnPack script packages to create a significant OPFOR presence on Altis.
  
• Uses Arma 3 Wounding System
  
• Loot for Capturing AOs - Each village, town, and base you capture will earn you a small cache of supplies and vehicles you can use to continue the fight.

a9

• Made the AOs a tad smaller and reduced activation ranges in an effort to minimize patrols going on vacation wandering off

a7.1

• Added Aeroson's Repetitive Cleanup System - Currently timers are generous enough to allow for looting of fresh kills
  
• Added, but not implemented in this version, Wolfenswan's Civilan Assassins - If you're feeling lucky you can de-comment the civilian_init.sqf file and have civvies running around the towns and cities, however the cache system in AI Spawn Pack is not working quite right so you WILL experience some lag if you turn this on.

• Fixed a glitch that reverted to default loadout upon respawn/revive
  
• Upped the playercount to 38.
  
• Fixed the flagpole at the main base to allow respawning there, oopsie.
  
• Objectives now complete upon capturing the Three City AOs, at the moment the mission will simply end once that happens but functionality is in place for a "Final Mission" AO to pop up.
  
• Austin[Medic]'s Sidemissions script pack added to provide sidemissions, at the moment these don't provide loot. However in future updates I'm planning to work these into a side-quest of sorts.

Sounds promising!

[maquez 141]

tried this mission on my dedicated server

mission was very promising until I got killed ... :p

the problem is you can't respawn

you will end in an continuous die/respawn loop

gave it up after died nearly 20 times, only way to respawn is log out and then in again

please fix this mission sounds very promising !!!

finally not again a US vs ... mission

[lkincheloe 12]

INS_Revive seems to have been broken by A3 v1.02. Which is unfortunate, will get that fixed when it's updated.

[lkincheloe 12]

Switched to BTC revive while INS is busted, current version is a2.

[Kruniac 0]

1: The revive system doesn't work. I die, Team Switch, get revived for some reason back at base, and from that point onward I cannot revive again. I must team switch. Maybe because I'm playing SP?

2: The "Dynamic Opposition" system is pretty cheap. I invaded the town to the east of the starting location. I was leading men through a field, when a truck and 8 soldiers spawned about 80m in front of us. We died. The entire concept of "magical spawns" is garbage. Maybe have them spawn in an occupied location (NOT THE ONE YOU ARE AT) and have them send reinforcements. This would give a point to setting road ambushes with technicals.

3: Just a small gripe, as I'm sure it's supposed to be this way. OPFOR needs 3-4 shots to die. They have magical +1 armor. It's annoying.

4: I cannot use more than one squad at a time. This is pretty annoying considering that once you lose 2-3 men, you are combat ineffective. Also, each squad has to start from the base, so any hope of rescuing an undermanned squad is moot.

[lkincheloe 12]

It's not for Single Player mode, sorry.

[lkincheloe 12]

Version a3 released:

• Briefing and Credits added
  
• Initial launch of the Loot system, running through EOS itself.

That's fine. :) How do I add AI to the resistance side?

I just need to be able to command a squad. Calling in other squads to support would be nice, too.

[kimbo74 10]

Anyway to change difficulty and turn off 3dr person? so far we only played for some mins but it looks good so far :)

Nm we got it sorted... Would love to have more guiding lines on what to do were and how to work the radio towers...

Those two are up next on the planning docket, by chance were you able to clear any of the AOs? And if so did any of the loot spawn?

[kimbo74 10]

Yeah we finished a couple and found a crate in the AO it was there before the area turned green.

No cars ir other fun stuff yet tho...:)

I got it. I unpacked your .pbo and turned on the AI. I like the respawn system. :) Any idea how I can get my AI squad members to spawn at the mobile respawn? It's a pain to have them hike all over the place.

Also, how do you clear an AO? It seems an infinite amount of trucks/apcs spawn.

And again I answer my own question. I ran a little marker/esp script to see how the mission spawns enemies. Spawning squads of 10+ 1km or so away from the squad isn't nice.

[pzvi 1]

Please add the ability to save captured weapons in a mobile basis or at the main base. With the revival/spawn of the saved weapons issued.

I propose to add an attack on a convoy or side-missions.

I know on respawn with INS it gives you the default loadout for the slot, is it doing that also when revive?

Shh... Way ahead of you there ;)

[pzvi 1]

Shh... Way ahead of you there

ok ;)

I meant the system preserves the captured weapons after the player died. If a player has kept a weapon, then it will be in the hands of the revival under new or poyavilenii at the main base, or another player. Something similar can be found in the scenarios domination or evolution.

[otsit 10]

Love your mission! Yeah, on revive your inventory gets reset to the default inventory of your chosen slot. Any way to fix this?

[pzvi 1]

I propose to change the way to capture the city. It is incredibly difficult to take the city under control. Constantly get new units.

Perhaps we should add the destruction of radar or communication center. Then the emergence of new forces will be stopped.

As the end of the script to make sure to capture all the towns on the island.
