ALiVE - Advanced Light Infantry Virtual Environment

[sttosin 67]

ALiVE Team,

Will it be possible for your mod to automatically analyze and populate the USS Nimitz Carrier when a Military Placement is associated with a TAOR including the Nimitz? Basically ALiVE would naturally consider the carrier a military base.

Its a nice idea, will take some time though as we "just" got "some" "little" tasks before :)

I am trying to place some Combat Support vehicles on the USS Nimitz and I am putting this "this setPosASL [getposASL this select 0, getposASL this select 1, 18.2];" in the INIT of the Combat Module. I have played with different heights with no luck. Any ideas?

I placed the airplanes and UAV on the largest runway on Altis. The UAV is not damaged at all. Every other vehicle seem to work fine. The UAV shows up in the tablet with its own icon but with the message that its ineffective.

I used the largest runway. Here's a video of what I did. What worked and what didn't.

see that is what i was afraid of.. I don't want to use the big airfield.. it should be able to take off from any of the airfields on altis :(

If placed sensibly they will take off from any airfield, the reason they have a mare is because of the lack of

Taxiway defined in the configs for the other small airfields, and the AI have a fit trying to get to the runway (can be amusing to watch them try), unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about that. You will just have to find the best locations to place the fixed wing aircraft.

I guess this also goes with any sort of other military or civilian type object. I placed a bunch of fortifications (bunkers and such) in a military placement area but it didn't seem like Alive recognizes any of them. Seems Alive only recognizes vanilla map based objects. I assume this is a feature that is being worked on or is this exactly like what you are talking about here that should be added to the tracker?

I have done a fix to allow the use of UAV's as CAS, you will also be able to connect to them using the terminal and 'Take Control' as you would normally. You will then be able to release control, send it to another location or RTB it as per the fixed wing CAS.

Watch this space for when it will be released.

Cheers

@Delta99 - Yes. It's not currently a planned option as that would be quite tricky to code generically. Don't forget you can still create such areas manually using regular editor techniques and run ALiVE around it.

I would think once you guys add the ability to define weighted objectives by script etc. then this would be a given. One of the other devs said that was in the plans so I'll just have to wait.

I am about to ask a hated question for Dev teams so please forgive. I am wondering if there is a release window for the MCC compatable update. We run our operations weekly and I just need to know If I should put together one last mundane operation or if I should wait a few days for the MCC compatable awesomeness. TIA!

[tupolov 520]

0.5.3 is due today or tomorrow. Waiting on our test teams to confirm all is ok.

We'll be adding an option to manually place an objective and set its priority (using an editor placed marker or module). However, since ALiVE uses Map Objects it won't detect editor places buildings/bunkers and automatically assign them as objectives nor will it automatically populate them. We could consider adding NearestObjects function to the Manual Objective Module, but really the main purpose is to enable mission editors to create and populate an area and then define it as an objective so OPCOM knows to attack it.

With MCC compability?

It would be great if you could do this. I think it would be extremely important to be able to pickup on editor placed buildings and such especially for user created bases, roadblocks and what have you.

I have added an extra parameter in the CAS and Transport, called Spawn Height. If a value is entered into here then it will spawn the asset at the value entered ASL. So therefore will work with the Nimitz. However it is up to the powers to be if this is actually added as a feature, and if so when it will be released.

I have problem. I can't get admin or support action menu. Windows app key doesn't working. Custom action 20 doesn't work too.

I use rissian version of game.

Sorry. I've got it. My mistake. It was wrong button. I should use app button.

Hi guys, great mod.

having an issue with the AI, I'm using no ai mods only jsrs sound mod. now the AI no matter what setting I give them via the AI skill module, they just will not attack each other, not even spot each other. even giving a direct command to attack they do not, and some times it will crash the game right after giving the order to attack. I have re-created this crash multipule times.

so I then get rid of the AI skill module and save reload and still the same outcome. but, starting a fresh new mission without any ALiVE modules, the AI is fine.

here is a link to the mission

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19617802/ALIVE_WARZONE_v0_1.Altis.rar

any ideas?

many thanks

Tried this mission, which seems to work.

But I used bcombat mode, perhaps it's this mod that makes this so EPIC !!!

There are also some problems with the VAS wich disapears from the crate when connecting many times ... perhaps it's because of the profile system which is applied on the crate?

We encounter the hang when commanding AI. As soon as you ask for an attack it crashes.

Loving the show case, can't wait for more missions to be publised i've never been a mission maker really, and I hope this will help me out. But if anyone has some good singple player missions they have made with alive post them!. My only gripe is in the showcase you can't save.

[JamesSaga 1]

Most looking forward to your persistent campaign. (any info on that?)

Also where do I need to go to find mission people have created using ALIVE, can anyone point me to any good ones that have come out already?

[Drakenof 11]

I have a very basic knowledge of the headless client, but i fail to see how ALiVE would work with it.

[CM-08 43]

Most of ALiVE side mission targets such as fence, radio tower...etc are really hard to destroy.

I used about 6,7 Explosive Satchel to destroy it.

How can I change the setting of targets' durability?
