ALiVE - Advanced Light Infantry Virtual Environment

[rlex 21]

Well i'm not exactly sure about reasons of crash. I have RHS as well, maybe it can also crash server (was happening when i was using RHS transport). However, one time i was not using any units except vanilla, and this freeze still happened.

Problem that is nothing appears in log. Server just freezes - no interaction. Transport gets no damages, AI stuck (sometimes in running animation). However, players still can move, shoot, etc.

If that not what happens to you, then we might be talking about different bugs.

[highhead 20]

well this sounds exactly like the issue :)

but if it happens to you STILL after following my advices in the former post, then its a different one and probably not ALiVE related!

PS: could you please try that (and maybe even use the former CBA version) and tell me if that worked?

Do you have link on previous version? it might crash my modpack, however - i use ACE and it might use some features from RC6.

Hey mate!

Might be worth just waiting a couple of hours, I just "heard" update to CBA is inbound soon!

Otherwise ill get you a link tomorrow, have to rush atm!

Night gents!

Io thought ACE is under huge development and when testing you probably shouldnt be using it yet? Just saying... ;)

it is. But how ACE devs will receive new bugreports if nobody plays with it enabled?

[highhead 20]

CBA hotfix is available as promised! Enjoy!

Hm, it seems as if I'm still getting crashes.

I'm not so sure this is a CBA issue now.

Does anyone know if this simply could be a ram problem or something? This is largely unique to 1.42, I ran the exact same mission prior-to and didn't get these random crashes.

I have no idea if the 1.42 update radically changed how system resources are appropriated.

Hi!

Just ran a mission on dedi for 4 hours, not a single issue! Which mods are you using?

enjoy

[rlex 21]

Had that strange "crash" too, but while using RHS Mi-8, so doesn't seem to be alive-related. Testing now with vanilla units, everything seems to be working.

[rlex 21]

Session crashed again. Only vanilla units used. Some alive-related error spam in RPT: http://pastebin.com/PUT5dz8e

[flex242 11]

You can speed how fast they move across the map int he module settings. i played a mission for like 45min and ran into a town full of IEDs and enemies. So maybe this is what you need to look into.

Oh interesting !! In wich Modul and wich function i have to change ? How this works ?

Also possible bug: I used insurgency mission, ported to Takistan map and adjusted factions to OPF_F (CSAT) to fit terrain.

However, instead of enemy tank platoons, i get artillery platoons.

Yo!

There are gazillions of errors in this RPT and the only ALiVE related ones are not gamebreaking in any way, only some unit-data in a virtualised group was corrupt. This wouldnt result in a crash.

Not sure why you believe its an ALiVE related issue, because it can be any mod listed here

-mod=modpack/@CBA_A3;modpack/@ASDG_JR;modpack/@BWA3;modpack/@Gorka_uniforms;modpack/@RHPACK;modpack/@RHSAFRF;modpack/@RHSUSF;modpack/@RH_acc;modpack/@ace-le;modpack/@JS_JC_FA18;mappack/@AllInArmaTerrainPack;mappack/@Bornholm;mappack/@Helvantis;mappack/@isladuala;mappack/@panthera;mappack/@Namalsk-lite;mappack/@fdf_podagorsk;mappack/@fallujah;mappack/@AlRayak;servermods/@ALiVE;servermods/@ASR_AI3

Even if you use vanilla units, it doesnt mean you run vanilla, Therefore you should run -mod=@CBA_A3;@ALiVE;@ALiVEServer to rule out whats causing your issue!

I also suggest you use the latest ALiVE Insurgency REDUX instead of InsurgencyRevived that is shipped with the Demo folder!

I will ping Hazey to either update the mish or remove it, so there arent thousands of versions floating around.

Hope this helps!

Redux is a new version? I quckly run thru source files and thought it was same as release by Hazey. I do not play altis/stratis anyway, so maybe it's time to port my fork to new version.

So yea, indeed, my fault - ran my server with wrong BAT (have bunch of them to test different mod setups).

I'm now running same mission, teleporting to cities & spawning shitload of enemies. So far so good.

Is it possible to blacklist some units from spawning? I often see empty Taru (or repair/medical) which seems to be completely useless for enemy (it just loiter around until someone finally takes it down).

And planes, they spawns facing hangar rear, makes them completely useless.

The logistic functions described in Script snippets don't work on my local dedicated server.

I have a simple script to get the global force pool count. It's basically copied over from the ALiVE wiki, with a hint added.

When hosting, it works fine, but when I start a dedicated server it doesn't do a thing.

I even tried to execute the two main lines directly from the debug console:

_currentBLUFORForcepool = [ALIVE_globalForcePool,"BLU_F"] call ALIVE_fnc_hashGet;

hint format ["Supply level: %1",_currentBLUFORForcepool];

But no effect.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it worked before the the latest patch and version changes.

(Everything is up to date, and I tried without other mods, even without @aliveserver)

[spyderblack723 407]

Thanks for the update!

"Improved furniture placement"

"Improved ambush"

Oh baby

Edit: Quick question about the mobile phone that I've had since last release, what is this used for exactly? Do civilians pull it out and actually use it (to relay security forces location) or is it simply an inventory object to increase immersion?

Edited April 17, 2015 by SpyderBlack723

[friznit2 350]

Just the latter for now.

If memory serves correct its under the OPCOM module under movement speed( It will be in %'s) I cant check right now but Ill see if I can jump on later tonight and check it out

Awesome! Congrats on another great release guys :D! The asymmetric system really brings me back to the good ol MSO days, I remember the first time I played an MSO mission and it absolutely blew my mind and you guys continue to do so with every release :D!

Had that strange "crash" too, but while using RHS Mi-8, so doesn't seem to be alive-related. Testing now with vanilla units, everything seems to be working.

Funny, I was flying an aircraft and it happens most commonly when I'm doing that.

Hi!

Just ran a mission on dedi for 4 hours, not a single issue! Which mods are you using?

enjoy

- Dragonfyre

- AIA (crashes like a mother on Sahrani, yet not takistan, etc)

- some of HLC's guns

- MNP's units

- RH's pistol pack

- Hellenic Armed Forces aircraft

- ASDG joint rails

- Niko's units

And that's pretty much it.

I'll try it without all of the mods, and then I'll try it just with AIA and see if that's the issue.

[scooterperpetual 248]

Question about saving when locally hosting a server. So a friend of mine and myself played an ALiVE mission I was hosting and after the first night everything was fine, we saved the mission (using the ArmA 3 save option in the menu) then using the Server Save and Exit. When we were done tonight the Save button was greyed out so I just used the Server Save and Exit. It did not save the mission at our current point, Im guessing this has to do with the Save button being greyed out and us not using that. So how can I get more Saves?
