WARHUNT

---

«It is not the strongest of the species that survives. It is the one that don't want to die»

Welcome to the new experimental asymetrical Team Versus Team mode.

Warning! Designed to be played on maximum difficulty without extended map info and showing user waypoint markers (that is can be placed by Shift+Click)!

VERSION: v 0.56.9

AUTHORS: Firestorm_01, Kxam, CFG, Jack Freeman, [stray]

BLUFOR:

«WAR for your survival»

As BLUFOR player you must reach Bunker on North East part of Altis and escape. You have limited equipment. And you are tracking by OPFOR. Every few minutes or less with random interval your almost exact position will be marked on map. So key to survival is constant moving and hiding. Take in mind that if you do not use vehicles then you have chance to be passed by scan.

You must find helicopter or boat to reach east part of Altis because of minefield. Next – find new car and drive to your escape base. You can’t fly directly ant target because of Air patrol zone. It may be good idea to drive to the guerilla camp to find good weapon and armored vehicles. If you lost your car- you can find new in the most of towns (look near churches). Do not forget about your engineer fellows – they can perform quick repair that can compensate lack of your driving skills. Anyway it will be long drive.

If you reach your target base then go to weapon depot first before bunker. You will be respawned with your current gear so prepare yourself to the next run.

Do not give up in any condition. You know it is not so easy task to track and down smart soldier in big forest or town even with map markers. Take in mind that enemy use lightly armored helicopters that is vulnerable to small arms and sniper rifles. Also some of your fellows have AT launchers. So hunter may become hunted if you want.

OPFOR:

«HUNT for your glory»

As OPFOR you must stop BLUFOR players from escaping. You have access to any weapon in game (excluding FLIR equipment and Titan launchers) and to heavy armored vehicles and helicopters. Also you are tracking BLUFOR units position. So hunt them down. But do not forget- they still can outsmart you.

Take in mind that your helicopters don’t have any rockets. So you likely need to finish your target on foot.

At your airport you can refuel and rearm your vehicles. Use armory to prepare yourself. Do not forget about transport hook on helicopters. APC airdrop may be excellent advantage. But watch out. Enemy has snipers and AT soldiers. And also you can’t repair you vehicles in the fields. So one rocket can transform your armored vehicle into slow chunk of metal. And you know… there are rumors that elite snipers can even take down helicopter pilot on the fly. But it is rumors for sure. So relax. And good hunting.

FEATURES:

- Asymmetrical gameplay kind of “Cops and Robbersâ€. One side run, other pursuit it;

- Designed to be played on highest difficulty and have anything necessary for this;

- Tracking system that marks one side on map but still give chance to escape;

- Different kind of gameplay: from high speed pursuits to careful infantry combat. One moment you drive car at high speed, trying to avoid helicopter miniguns, second you hide in the forest trying to reach empty helicopter to escape;

- Careful restrictions give even weaker side good chance to win. No FLIR. No heavy weapon on OPFOR helicopters, only miniguns, so you need to be experienced pilot to take down you target from air. OPFOR units can’t repair their vehicles on the field so any damage can significantly slow them down. Scanner that marks BLUFOR units on map have random scan interval and may not detect target in certain condition.

- Gameplay designed to be different for all sides but balanced;

- Armory, airdrop, revive, vehicle respawn, helicopter transportation and fastrope, repair pads, dynamic player map markers on any difficulty, protected spawns;

- Should be suitable for small team of friends and for bigger teams.

CHANGELOG:

v 0.56.9

First this mission was designed to play with friends. For now I want demonstrate the mission concept of "Run or Hunt". Actually I didn't see popular mission with same concept. Is is flaw, I think, because it is fun.

- Tracking system that marks one side on map but still give chance to escape;

this does not seem to work

interesting missions though, tried it on ur DS with a few friends.

I agree that this kind of missions are very rare and should be more of them :)

plz fix the tracking system coz its difficult 2 find blufor, especially on foot

I hope its just some kind of marker on the map of the last known position of the player as complete tracking would 2 precise ;)

Actually it works as supposed to work. I mean script is OK(I hope). But there are something:

//Settings

_scanErrorHalfSquare=5;

_scanInterval=95;

_scanDeviationInterval=50;

_chanseToMissScanManPercent=40;

This means that scaner detects units every 95 +- 50 seconds with error of detection +-5 meters. But there is also one thing. _chanseToMissScanManPercent=40. That means, that chance to detect infantry on foot is 60%. On vehicles it is 100% always.

I agree that it needs to be balanced. So I will set detection miss possibility to 0%. Let's try balance it that way.

Also do not forget about radar on helocopters. It can detect vehicles for very long range.

Also I'll reduce scan interval.

---------- Post added at 14:01 ---------- Previous post was at 13:46 ----------

Ok. Mission updated. Let's try it another way. For now scan interval 60 +- 20 seconds. Chance to detect infantry 100%. Possible position deviation is the same +- 5 meters.

Also I as you see there is already implemented positon deviation. But during test we found that it really diffiuclt to find soldier in town with his positon +-50 meters (in this case you actually shoud check every house on street).

Thank you for feedback.

One more moment:

It does not tested on a dedicated server. So try to run listen server.

Yes I saw that on your server. Bug exist.

---------- Post added at 16:48 ---------- Previous post was at 16:45 ----------

Got It. Script check error. I should use additional check "if (isDedicated)". Fixing...

[Firestorm_01 11]

Thanks to this bug with dedicated server was fixed.

[Kxam 10]

Most of the initial release bugs was fixed. For nw version should be stable.

Changelog:

v 0.54.5.

- Map for injured units (who wating for respawn) now disabled.

[Firestorm_01 11]

We hope that current version is stable in case of bugs and also balance.

And also do not forget about:

It is important for mission balance.

[Firestorm_01 11]

Thanks to this fixed spelling of one of map markers. Guerilla camp territory deadly for OPROF units not BLUFOR. Most stable version heh. Triggers worked corretly. It is only about spelling.
