ALiVE - Advanced Light Infantry Virtual Environment

[suveraan01 10]

Hello, wanted to say thank you for ALiVE and ask if there still isnt any easy way to change out the stock futuristic forces for custom ones? I would love to use ALiVE with the North Koreans or Russians.

Hi folks,

I firstly have to say a big thank you to the ALiVE team - what an awesome mod!

I'm no mission editor, but for the most part, ALiVE really does make it easier to put epic scenarios together.

That said, I'm having difficulty with Logistics. I have put Military logistics modules down, and syncing them to the OPCOM, but when running the scenario, I get a message saying my links are broken, Module ML, OPCOM. this happens on multiple occasions, different factions. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Yes in the OPCOM and MP/CP modules you can adjust the factions. Be advised that most addons do not work yet with ALiVE as they do not have properly defined group configs. I know the CAF mod does but not sure about others.

Try removing the sync between the modules and re-syncing them...failing that remove the modules, save, re-add them, re-sync, save. Also make sure it's the logistics module that is the problem...not something like your MP module area covers no military installations, etc.

Also just as a note that if i Sync from Logistics to OPCOM I get the ML is not Synced but if I sync from OPCOM to Logistics it works without issue.

So that could be the issue as well

Thanks for posting this I have noticed the same and will try and repro the problem for a dev heaven ticket.

I'm doing tutorial #2 in the Simple Mission Tutorial series and I've placed the ALiVE Military Category with Military Placement Module and Enable Debug set to yes and Place Units is set to Objectives Only.

When I run the Preview the objectives don't show up on the map at all the way they do in the video. I changed from Beta to latest solid build to make sure it wasn't that causing the problem.

OK I figured this out. What the narrator neglected to mention in Part 1 was that you need to lay down an ALiVE Military Category with Military CQB module for the Military Placement Module to work.

Well I'm finding that the actual application doesn't work like the tutorial frankly. Can't add in the placement of units with Military Placement... Could it be @a3mp @AISS, @Blastcore-A3 @FFISv1.25 @JS_JCFA18 and @JSR2.0 that are screwing things up here?

Thanks for the quick response. I have noticed the ML module issue in the past and have placed them according to available military installations, so they're all fine. Will try out the re-sync method.

Also just as a note that if i Sync from Logistics to OPCOM I get the ML is not Synced but if I sync from OPCOM to Logistics it works without issue.

Thanks also God-Father, I thought that might be an issue. In addressing the sync solution above, I will also make a point of syncing in this order.

Hi Cadmium, can you pm me your skype details and I can assist you on there

Hi Cadmium77 I can confirm that AISS does cause issues with Alive try with out this enabled

A3MP and JS_JCFA18 i havnt tested but BLASTCORE, FFIS and JSRS2.0 work well with alive

Thank you ARJay and ScrumpyJacks. Will test with AISS turned off..and FFIS too..Must try ALiVE...it looks amazing.

OK, got the Logistics sorted. Turned out I needed to place that module last, and sync From OPCOM to ML, not the other way around.

Also, I found that spawning armour seems to locate quite close to each other. When a unit of Slammers or scorchers spawn (out of the virtual space) they tend to bunch up and get locked together:

Any ideas? It occurs 95% of the time.

When I did spawn infantry on a base today I was getting that so bad the spawned soldiers were getting bloody injuries and even bleeding to death from spawning on top of one another...

Does anybody know how to enable Save when I export a mission from the editor to the scenarios page? I don't get the option when I try to play it.

Merry Christmas ALiVE team. Thanks for a great Mod.

Hi OFPscince06 have you tried using enableSaving [true, true]; from within the init.sgf

example https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/enableSaving

[PVT Watt.J 14]

Thank you for this mod, it does some pretty amazing stuff.

I'm having some major issues with the way vehicles are being placed down, however. Much of the time they explode immediately upon being spawned! Have I set something up correctly or are there some major bugs in how vehicles are placed down (whether the elevation is wrong, or the chosen spots are occupied, or vehicles are spawned on to of one another...).

Any ideas?

[kremator 1065]

Sometimes the spawned places vehicles too close and they go boom!

Hi Shadow, If you are having this issue at the mission start I suggest sync the profile module to anything that has an init. Also sync it to any vehicles that might be in the proximity of your spawn area. At the beggining of a mission the profile system profiles everything that isnt synced to it and you will lose all inits and sometimes it will spawn multiple vehicles back in the same spot causing an endless chain of explosions. And make sure you have "do not profile synced entities" or however its worded in the profile module

[ofpsince06 11]

I read earlier that you can overwrite the default factions in ALiVE like BLU_F with mods and such like the Canadian Armed Forces Mod. How would I do that?

[nadsv 10]

Is it possible to place down in the editor some military buildings and then ( I think ) with some gamelogic of some sort make the MP module recognize this location?

Thanks!
