ALiVE - Advanced Light Infantry Virtual Environment

[cholo 11]

I tried Quick Start and Divide & Rule for a test, both started up fine. (re-downloaded mod from alivemod.com, CBA 1.0.9.140907)

Quick Start took 16.02 secs

Divide & Rule took 145.82 secs

which mission did you mean specifically?

quick start worked for me tour too but Divide & Rule hangs on loading screen forever, most of the times almost every mission i make in editor using alive hangs on loading screen

tried with RHS it hangs tried with LOP mods hangs too tried with IS-MOD hangs tried blufor vs opfor works but adding CQB module hangs it :(

edit : game don't hang if using MP obj + civ placement modules and leaving the TAOR marker empty in both modules but i get random placement for both sides ( BUL_F VS OPF_F )

I'm part of the 2nd Mef clan and while our alive server is tied with the war room, Im conected to it but everybody elses stats are saved but mine are not listed. My name is tied to the war room and I can pull up my stats page, but I have no records or anything. No one else has this problem. Can someone please look into fixing it for me. This is our server information http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/74.91.112.24:2302/ and this is my profile page.

but I have no records or anything

Try going to edit profile in the war room, and check that the player ID number matches your ID in-game.

Could someone shed some light on how exactly military logistics is supposed to work. I've watched a bunch of videos and checked the wiki page out, the logistics module works except the reinforcements spawns in the SW corner of the altis map. It then proceeds to do nothing and just stay out there, if I take a look with ZEUS the units get teleported to the coast and then proceed to move to actual objectives. Vehicles get blown up as they don't take kindly to water.

Using execVM "\x\alive\addons\mil_logistics\tests\test_ML.sqf" to manually call for reinforcements works great and they arrive in under 5 minutes. Its just the AI commander that makes a royal mess of things.

It calls for the reinforcements, it just never arrives; despite it holding military airbases. I also noticed there's no MIL INSERTION debug info showing up when the AI commander calls reinforcements, is this normal behavior?

Picture of SE spawns

My mission.sqm

Many thanks in advance.

*Edit

Seems like the first group to spawn moves while the rest sits in the SW corner.

yes AI commander miss up the logistic at some point and it can't figure out how to use it , logistics supposed to take a route behind friendly lines ( support route ) which supposed to be very high value target to the enemy forces but this is not yet simulated in ALiVE

[Kniker 10]

ok here is a question.. so making an ironfront mission and ran into a problem with the logistics..... the enemy is deploying reinforcments via helicopter. is it possable to limit ai logistics to just convoy?

[Psilocybe 3]

Anybody had any luck finding a fix for the infinite load screen with Alive? :(

[Kniker 10]

i find it has to do with something not being synced correctly.. you might have a module grouped under your sync line. since arma loves to group everything you put down on the editor

[Psilocybe 3]

Unfortunately not in this scenario, I set up the basics; Req Alive and Profile system, unsynced. AI Commander synced to Civ. Mil placement assigned to a Taor. Thats all. Nothing else and still, infinite load.

[friznit2 350]

Bung me your mission and I'll take a look at it. Can't replicate the problem at all myself!

[acoustic 82]

My issue was that the opcom for the opfpr wasn't set to opfor and I also forgot the g (for guerilla) in the units thing (can't remember right now)

Was anything broken in the last arma iii update or are we good to go?

[1para{god-father} 105]

Can anyone please confirm if War room / Database will Only works with Static IP as we have a Dynamic IP but are using .dyndns.org .

Tried filling in the IP with our xxxxxxl.dyndns.org but no joy :(

[friznit2 350]

It only works with static IP. You'll need to change it for each session to maintain persistence working.

Im using it with the Ukraine/Novorussian mod, so factions are RNR_Pack and UA_Pack and is set on Chernarus from Allinarma - it can work, the mission has worked on several occasions, but mostly just freezes on the loading screen. So should I zip up the mission and give a link?

So.... I downloaded all those modpacks, to beeing able to even open your mission (though we always say, provide a vanilla mission, but ok).

But what i really DO NOT appreciate is that the mission is packed in an EXE that actually has ADWARE in it (MULTIPLUG.GEN/4)....

I mean, sorry BUT WTF...........?! What the freaking FECK?!

[Psilocybe 3]

WTF i didnt though? I wouldnt do that, i just googled a file host. I took the mission, i pbo'd it, then i zipped it, and then uploaded it? Whats a more reliable file host?

Edit:

Just googled them, found this:

http://www.maxconsole.com/maxcon_forums/threads/283082-DO-NOT-use-datafilehost

So sorry about that, I am editing the previous post and replacing the download link with something that doesnt fuck with my upload.

This link is safe, I downloaded the file from there myself to check, just a plain zip and the pbo file.

Hi mate!

Its ok! I should have been aware of it myself! No bad feelings, i was just a bit.. lets say... "shocked"!

Im gonna look at your mission later today if all goes well!

Have a nice day, bro!

And again, no bad feelings!

[Psilocybe 3]

I dont blame you for being shocked, I should have checked before I uploaded it, but ive never uploaded a zip before :P Now i know better. Thankyou!

Hi All,

Just need some help.. We had a mission in alive to "Destroy civilian facility" which was in a small base. We had no idea what to destroy and didn't complete the task. There

was sacks of foods, empty weapon and ammo crates and a piece of machinery with fans on it. we destroyed it all with satchels except for the base walls.

Anyone got any ideas as to what we needed to do to complete the task. We've come across similar tasks and never been able to complete them.

[davidlasher 1]

I think I found it! The reason the missions hang indefinitely at the loading screen! I thought it was something with the civilian modules but after tinkering trying to get a new mission to work on the server the cqb started giving me the same issue! It's how density is called! Is there a way to switch the density on the civ module to a percentage of buildings on the map that are in the config array for a hotfix? I would love you forever!

Hello,

for the first time we are able to use the War Room because we just rented a Windows Root.

Now, we are able but it doesn't work. I did everything thats been instructed. (Launching Arma with @Alive and @Aliveserver, putting the alive.cfg in the Appdata/Local/Alive folder....)

Could you guys help me?

What is funny, for my player I finally managed to get it connected. But the group will not be update nor will the mission show up in the recent operations.

Many Greetings

Moony

[taro8 806]

Was the sector occupation display fixed? I remember it got broken in some of the recent updates.

[serjames 357]

No that's still broken.

i.e. the intel module

[taro8 806]

Is it anything big? If it would require small editing then I could fix it for myself.

[serjames 357]

I've raised a bug tracker for it (had assumed it was already done as I know the Dev's had acknowledged the issue previously)

I'm pretty sure you could have a look see, but ALiVE is no simple beast :-)

I think that the next release can't be too far away looking at the status reports.... Fingers crossed
