ALiVE - Advanced Light Infantry Virtual Environment

[charliereddog 9]

I'd imagine so, since the mission has nothing but ALiVE elements in it.

[Thursday88 10]

Thursday88 - OPCOM needs to be synced (not grouped) to a Military Placement module that has at least one location in which to spawn troops. You can turn debug on to check that MP is picking up suitable locations. You must also have the Profiles system module placed. Please see the wiki and tutorial missions for more guidance.

I synced them up (F5). I followed the first two tutorial videos to a "T" and it doesn't even want to spawn any units at that point. Maybe something is interfering with it so I'm going to do a fresh install of everything including Arma.

I followed october001's tutorial "ARMA 3 Tutorial: Quick and Dirty Insurgency with ALiVE!" and I get an infinite load screen. I'm reinstalling everything at the moment and will try again later today, any help would be appreciated.

All runs fine until i put then DB module on i tried with NO mods on , on this log my @inidbi is on but have tried without as well !

after i press continue it just sits on loads screen

All Mods are up-to-date and server settings in Warroom are correct.

The .rpt is spamming and is at 75MB in 10 min !

I can see you have data in ALiVE War Room already, so it looks like you have had this working before.

Can you try changing the name of your mission? Remove the : from the name.

Thanks

My problem is I'm able to set everything up and when I click "preview" I can see all the zones and entities on the map, but when I teleport to their location they remain grayed out and don't spawn in. Not quite sure what is preventing the units from showing up.

Hi thanks for this great mod. I'm happy with all modules i tried atm. But i can't make work the arty. CSarty/mortars is connected to CS. I can see a unit in the UI but click on map does nothing and looks like it lacks the round type and quantity boxes.

Neither CS or arty are connected to profile. I tried delete these modules and start again but nothing works to me.

Any suggestions? I am placing modules in Utes of @A3MP.

Congratulations for alive. Arma missions are really different and better. And yes its "easy" once you expend some time reading and watching videos. But first day its crazy.

[Von Quest 1163]

Two Modules are need for Arty I believe. The support one, and the arty one. Then sync them.

1. Support -- 2. Arty -- 3. Sync. Did you make it that far? Or try other Maps?

[friznit2 350]

Combat Support simply called BIS arty functions but unfortunately BIS arty is a little funky. Not all round types work but HE rounds will successfully fire from the weird futurespoof self propelled gun vehicle thing in the game.

Thursday88 - make sure you player is not setcaptive or anything like that. Profiles will spawn if a player is in the vicinity set in the options (1200 by default iirc). If you're using mods, trying without them first to prove it all works.

[Helice 13]

Thanks for answer. I have a CS ARTY module linked to CS module.

I paste a couple of screenshots.

First one is the editor and how i have connected them.

Second one is the UI with arty. If i click over FOX SEVEN or the map nothing happends. (CAS and TRANS works fine).

Do you think its a map problem?

[friznit2 350]

Have you clicked on the mini map in the UI to select an arty target?

[Helice 13]

Have you clicked on the mini map in the UI to select an arty target?

Yes i clicked over the map and nothing happends. It dont place a mark :(.

In fact it doesn't matter if i click in a range of 500m or 1,5km. Never a mark. I have ghost and teleport disabled.

still no joy :( what is the skype support channel as i think it would be better to chat about this to get it working as it worked once but that was it? could not find it on skype

thanks

Looks like the classname of the vehicle you're using for arty is incorrect or being screwed up somehow - the UI usually shows an icon of the unit if it recognises the classname. If it's listed in the module options correctly (default is the vanilla BIS unit) then it could be a third party addon (such as the map) messing with the config.

1PARA{God-Father} - PM Tup with your Skype name and he'll invite you (don't send it to me, I can't invite you while at work!)

I have two questions:

-Is it possible to add a custom init in the CAS module to use a different kind of bomb? We have an F-18 and want to add another type of bomb but we don't know how to add the new bomb in the CAS module.

-We are thinking about adding dynamic markers just like the ones used in the original MSO, where you have a dynamic circle that changes color depending on witch faction occupies it, we did try out the new modules like Military Intel and sector display but we we wondering if we could make simple circles around our main AO's that works with a trigger and a marker. Any suggestions on how we could make something similar?

[friznit2 350]

Combat Support code is largely based on neokika old Support Radio, so it should be possible. How to do it otoh, I'll have to ask Gunny as he ported it and turned it into a module (and he's away at the mo!)

Mil Intel and Sector markers basically does what you're asking for but covers all objectives rather than just towns. It's a little more realistic than the old town manager markers, because it requires a friendly unit to actually report enemy activity (unless you put it on full intel mode ofc).

[Ophelian 10]

Ahh ok i see now, thanks for the quick reply. So for the CAS module we will wait, i am in contact with ARJay on skype so maybe in a month or so ill try to contact Gunny through ARJay if thats ok with you guys.

For the intel i now understand how it works (friendly units that send it, i wasn't too sure about how it was generated), we do use it on our mission and it is set on high intel and its quite useful. We were hoping to have a more "static" intel but this one is fine for our needs. I did however add custom objectives to our FOB's and PB's so that Blufor and OPfor use them as objectives, and the intel does match the bases, so its quite nice. I will tweek our Blufor modules to send more troops to the bases so we can get a bit more intel.

Keep up the good work guys! Thanks!

[Helice 13]

Resolved! Fritniz thanks a lot for your help.

I was being so noob. Artillery was being captured by profile. Once i swichted to "Only profile synced units" i can see full UI.

Thanks again for the help and for the mod!

[friznit2 350]

No probs, glad it's sorted though I'm fairly sure CS modules are not supposed to be profiled either way. Will look into it.

Btw, you can join our skype channel with this link (I think)

Wonderful mod that makes mission editing a breeze

Hey,

is it normal that it takes a long time to load the CQB on Altis?

"ALiVE CQB Houses loaded from map!" Thats what I see in the server log for about 2-5 min (Alive takes up to 10-12min to load....maybe my fault ^^)

Many Greetings

Moony

[Rath 10]

Moon, same here - I've been trying to get it to take less time on my end but I just can't get it less than 8 minutes and still keep the spawns how my group likes it. It could be map complexity, but our server is up for a week or more at a time anyways so its no big deal. The ALiVE devs are working on it I believe.

A few pages back... http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?169350-ALiVE-Advanced-Light-Infantry-Virtual-Environment&p=2684250&viewfull=1#post2684250

[Moon_chilD 200]

I don't care that much that it takes so long to load ^^ (After I know I'm not the best Mission creator)

I just wanted to know if its normal that the CQB takes so long. But if you say its the same for you...I guess that that isn't a point for me to reduce loading time! xD

[friznit2 350]

Please see discussion on Page 291 which explains why CQB takes a long time on Altis and what you can do to reduce it. We have diverted some effort into refactoring CQB for the next release to speed up load times, as it seems rather popular.

Thanks, never saw it that way! ^^

I'm going to try it out!

Hi!

Has anyone managed to combine BeCTI or CRCTI with the Profile system from ALiVE? I guess it would give Server FPS a nice boost if working correctly.

Or maybe someone made a new, CTI like mission from cratch? Unfortunately my own skill isn't good enough to do anything like this.

[Helice 13]

Hi again, slowly i am doing progress. My first mission is working and it can be seen in war room web. I see stats and when i got killed.

But every time i enter server first time (i mean with mission just restarted) i see an error: Unfortunately we were unable to download profile...

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12606463/error_msg_first_join.jpg

The user is created. I checked the ID number from arma profile. I tried delete the user and create again. Still the error msg. What i am doing wrong?

And i have a collateral issue. Once i deleted the user i lost the lead of the group/server and now Wolfspain is users empty. Could you please delete the group/server and i will create again? Or could you give me again the lead presmissions. Thanks a lot.

Or maybe someone made a new, CTI like mission from cratch?

@Hotte this week was my first contact with alive. Using the next link and following the steps with a empty UTES map i have a CTI kind mission. OPFOR in whole island and BLUFOR in a small base and fighting to conquest all island.

Its a bit weird first day, but once you get the basis you can truly imagine how powerful alive is. You can have somethink awesome in a few minutes.

BTW and if is not consider spam i can put here the mission.pbo for you.
