ALiVE - Advanced Light Infantry Virtual Environment

[cptprice 10]

That's how it's meant to work. If you want the towns to be occupied, use one of the other Mil Placement modules as well.

ok and is there a way to edit the settings of the other mil placement modules ? where i can define how many units & vehicles spawn ? something similar to the mil placement cust. obj.

[friznit2 350]

The the drop downs on the modules. They're all pretty self explanatory. Have a look at the wiki if you need more info. Note that unlike Custom Objectives there's no need to specify exactly how many groups you want - it's all about choosing the rough numbers and types of enemy you want.

Tried to get the new Duala map running with ALiVE - but no go....

Any-chance of those map indexes being hotfixed ?

[friznit2 350]

Not really a hotfix since they've not been indexed at all yet! Hopefully we'll get it into the next update.

[cptprice 10]

is there a way to make the "military placement cust. obj." as a trigger which spawns the units where ever i go or any other way to make it work ?

even if i have to open the .pbos and take the script from there ?

Dear ALiVE devs,

first of all congratulations on this great modification! It's such a great tool to make missions and enhance the immersion even further.

I've got one question regarding Military Logistics: is it true that at least some kind of Military Objective is needed to make them work?

I set up a simple mission with OPFOR defending and BLUFOR invading and added Military Logistics to the BLUFOR side (synced to the Military AI Commander). Unfortunately resupplies don't seem to work, even when I try to trigger them via Player Combat Support (although it tells me my request for resupplies has been acknowledged and I should be standing by for them to come in). Could this be because BLUFOR only owns Civilian Objectives and has no Military Objectives under it's control? I even placed a Military Placement of type Custom Objectives with some huge military Spawn Composition and it's priority set to 999, set the Military Logistics module next to it and made it's Reinforcement Type Fixed - to no avail.

As of now I'm at a loss with making this work. If anybody could help me out on this or point me in the right direction that'd be very much appreciated.

[friznit2 350]

It works, and yes it need an objective for the Logistics to spawn at before they move to the front. Logistics will only trigger when the overall force level of that side reaches a certain percentage of their start state (e.g. 75% of the original strength). Manually requesting supplies the Player interface works too but it can take sometime to arrive, depending on what's available.

If in doubt, turn debug on and you should see things ticking along in the rpt.

friznit2, thanks for your reply! Could I set up such a backward base / insertion point via Military Placement (Custom Objectives)? My problem is that I have no "real" military objectives in vicinity to the battlefield - the next mil object is many kilometers away tbh.

[friznit2 350]

Yes indeed, as per the instructions in our wiki :)

The unit I am apart of is having major issues with alive running a dynamic mission. The CPS is constantly spiking between 15-30 while the FPS stays solid. Much like what was posted in this post. It spikes with our dynamic user created mission and the default vanilla missions with only @cba_a3 and @alive/@aliveserver running.

Any assistance would greatly be appreciated

Thanks again m8! :) I tried various combinations now and I think I got it working. Heli insertions got shot down most of the times though. :D

What confused me at first was the long time it took for Air Drop reinforcements to come in. I tried moving my insertion point to a military airfield, but that didn't seem to change anything. Could Air Drops be sped up in any way?

[pd3 25]

I don't know if this has been reported but IIRC the last version of ALiVE I used did not have it.

It's a bug in which the "debug" feature for the CQB module does not display civilian spawn points after being killed and restarting the mission.

Everything is bare except for strategic points for some reason, kind of an inconvenience.

[spacecadet 10]

hello, Alive crashes on loading screen in the Editor after I put the Ai commander module down.....any idea how to fix?

Any system running scripts etc will likely impact CPS. It's unavoidable unfortunately. We have worked hard to optimise performance of ALiVE and ensure it does not impact FPS and the general playing experience. Please let us know if you experience any issues when CPS is low.

I'd be chuffed with a chart like that.... CPS is always gonna take a hit vs FPS..... you don't have many Ai active, but are you running somesort of ai enhancement over the top ? Anything that messes with Ai values, i.e. bCOmbat, ASR etc will bring cps down relatively.

Questions is, with those stats, is gameplay effected ?

[0verlord-actual 11]

Hey I was just wondering, is there a way to spawn all ALiVE AI on a headless client? Or is this not possible?

[friznit2 350]

Only with the CQB module currently.

[0verlord-actual 11]

Ok too easy. Thanks for the reply :)

[serjames 357]

Only with the CQB module currently.

The key thing there is "currently" :-) Which gives me MUCH hope for the future... hint hint

Hi guys,

Quick question, is logistic support working with RHS?

- Me (being a Nato soldier) tried asking for Air dropped vehicle (Nato Ammobox) and it worked

- Me (being a RHS soldier) tried asking for Air dropped vehicle (RHS ammobox) and nothing happened.

Really would love to see Schwemlitz and it's winter version added to index. Anyway, thank you for all your hard work. This mod is magic.

Any ETA on Isla duala indexing into alive?

[friznit2 350]

We've got a long list of islands to index. They'll be in the next release, which will be soonâ„¢ (when it's ready)!

[serjames 357]

You've still got my hand up to volunteer to help with Indexing.... Assuming an old dog can be taught new tricks....

Does that RHS unit have the necessary equipment to call in for an Airdrop (Laser Designator is Default)?

Do you have all the options to call in the drop but do not see the ammo box you need in the scroll list?
