Anybody else have trouble placing civilians on Nziwasogo?

Hello Alive Team. Hope things are well.

A friend and I have been playing quiet little Alive missions recently and have had difficulty getting one (or both of us) to be able to enter Combat Support Transport vehicle.

For example, I have synced a editor UH-80 to the Combat Support Module.

It spawns, I tell my AI team to board (along with my friend in the team.) Usually, if he boards, then I can't...and vise versa. Seats are available I.e empty. My team only consists of 8 total.

Any thoughts on why the AI can board, but some human players cannot?

Thanks.

A few people have mentioned this specifically with that map... perhaps a dev can chime in here.

Usually this happens if a player teamkills someone.... I assume you are not doing that :p Have you tried with a stock A3 chopper? Perhaps it's something with the UH-80?

I haven't tried on that map, but I posted here a couple days ago about civilians not working for me on Sangin. I was hoping the problem was on my end, but before I go through the trouble I was hoping to atleast get some sort of confirmation if this was a known issue or not. I wasn't aware that ambient civilian was a per-map feature requiring extra configuration, but I guess it might be. I just assumed that if the map was indexed, and the Civilian Placement module identifies locations (as it does) that the Civilian Placement module would spawn them. Sadly things are always more complex :(

[GDent 10]

Have you tried respawn = 3 instead?

we tried this more extensively and it caused players to respawn instantly where they died, so definitely not what we're after. I might just try looking at some mission frameworks out there

[R-o-x 11]

I found a bug today when trying to use the multispawn module. Its works every time for BLU_F. When I use mas_usa_mars, after the first (respawn) insertion, the chopper go's back to its insertion marker, as it should. But the next chopper dose not spawn in and respawned players get stuck on the camera once the first chopper is deleted. This can be tested but just respawning a second time right after you get out of the chopper, the camera will follow the chopper back to its insertion marker.

Is this a problem with the units I'm using?

When a Map is index no extra config is required just for Civs, please supply your Vanilla mission for us to check out.

OK here is a test with CBA, ALIVE, Sangin, and AiA TP. I'm not sure if my map version is exactly the same. The file size was big enough to suggest it may be standalone(?) but I tossed AiA in just incase. For me the placement module picks up the locations within the marker, but the green dots are not on buildings like usual, and no civilians are spawned.

That is odd as respawn=3 is BASE respawn which should never respawn you where you died.. are you sure you're not using some kind of 3rd party revive script or other respawn system?

Most likely... I've never run into this before and it does work for BLU_F... is it using a vanilla chopper for inserts?

Is it possible to deactivate the player tools like view distance and so on? we use the view distance mod to e.g. force grass on pvp missions.

[GDent 10]

yeah, we're definitely not using a revive script. just ALiVE's player options, maybe AGM would have something to do with it? but we don't use AGM respawn or anything.

if it's not too much to ask, maybe a simple step by step would help me figure out where i'm going wrong. but I'll try figuring it out through looking at other mission frameworks and examples I might find. it's hard because there doesn't seem to be any documentation on these sorts of things anywhere

Place a marker down on the map and label it respawn_west . I have had this happen many times when you will just respawn on your body. I found its because i did not have a respawn point set. If you place that marker down in the editor you will spawn on that marker whenever your killed.

[phronk 898]

I've been messing around with ALiVE in Clafghan and noticed that calling in Combat Logistics (Airdrop, heli insert, and convoy to call in a squad of RHS US infantry units) doesn't actually call them in; it just creates a marker called "CONVOY" or whatever you picked. Also, at least while hovering over the South East most airbase of the map, ordering a helicopter you're in to insert you anywhere on the map seems to just reset the insert marker to your position when you called it in. Oh, and one last thing: it would be nice if you could allow additional IED modules to place, that way they can be used to have different threat levels of IEDs/VBIEDs for different TAORs. Hope that makes sense. :P

the problem is that I don't want anyone to respawn, I want them to die and go to spectator mode. I swear I saw a video where someone's game crashed and then he returned right where he left off. i've been wanting to implement that into my missions, along with JIP, since I saw it, but had to deal with server issues.

im having an issue with persistance. i notice it connects. but even if i save and get DC i come back with no gear...SOMETIMES in the same spot sometimes NOT. this is on Takistan...ill post RPT log shortly.

So I am trying to go ahead and check off ALiVE compatibility while I am doing similar work. My groups configuration is based on the ORBAT and standard given on the ALiVE Wiki. However, in the mission, I get the TACOM message, "no groups available". ALiVE does seem to be placing my custom helicopters though which is what makes this more confusing. The groups work perfectly in game and with Zeus. I will show my code below, and would appreciate it if someone could show me what i'm doing wrong.

[malcom86 33]

Have you enabled Player Persistence in the Player Options?

I was posting about an issue I'm having playing on a dedicated server using Alive: when I try to exit doing "player exit" nothing happens. So I can't save my progression and stats. Same seems to happen when the admin try to do "save server and exist", as the server doesn't appear in the War Room. Could it be a problem with the player persistance option ? How do you add the persistance (I thought it was a module placed in the editor, but the mission used on the server is a common mission used by others too. And they have persistence...) ?

And, btw, do you guys plan to add compatibility also to play on local servers ? Just wondering if I can run my own server on my computer. No need for persistence, in this case: it would be just funny if I can register what happens in the War Room.
