Last time I checked, the IEDs work. Haven't debugged them though. For a grid square to go green/blue you need to eliminate ALL enemies in the area, even the ones that like to hide from you. If you're positive that every building was cleared, take a screenshot of the grid being red still or give me the grid coordinates of that area and I'll check it out myself.

The update looks great, and sorry if I'm a noob, I seem to be complaining alot...but how do I get this new version? It only gives me a PBO file, not the mission like how it used to be...

You put the PBO in your "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\ArmA 3\MPMissions\" folder. Doing this will allow you to host the mission. It's not very offline/single-player friendly since some parts of it are designed to work on servers or dedicated servers, but should run fine.

I didn't release the mission as an open source file because it is untested and people have reported issues with it already. Next update may include the open version, since the issues should be more-or-less resolved.

Yes, that is most likely the case. The default value for the mission time is 06:00. Do you have A2 Lighting Fixes installed?

No, not installed.

This is sad... test your mission on a dark night a little harder)) But previously, if i loaded your mission (i am host and player) i have seen daytime map.

Hoping for an early release of updated version of Agressors (silent weapons since 1.24)

Hi,

This weekend we play the missions. We were more than 12 people and the missions works great. The people made me some questions:

-Can two teams works separately in order to search two caches?. How the markers works?. I think that in that version the markers always point to only one cache. It could be a upgrade, that markers point randomly two or three caches or point to the closer.

-When we play with TFR, the short range radios have different frequencies for different teams. I suggest to put this sentences "tf_same_sw_frequencies_for_side = true;" in the TFR script an then SR Radios has the same frequencies in the same channels.

-One upgrade that I test in the last missions (vanilla version), and seems to work. I discover in the EOS foro that you can put some personal script in the "setskill" script (EOS folder). I put a script that dress opfor units as "civils". First I dress all units, and then I put "random 1 < 0.3, in order to have 30% of the units as "civils" with guns. It works and it made the mission more challenging. In the CCQ you have to think if it is armed or not. If you want I can explain it to you more detailed.

- Do you know how the missions works in a persistent server?. We want to put it in a close persistent server to try finish it.

I think I have more comments but now I do not remember it...

Would you be willing to share this script? Those of us that use EOS to make Takistani based maps would (such as myself) would love being able to increase the ambiguity between civillians and insurgents.

Also, I wonder, is it impossible to do the reverse and dress up unarmed upfor as civillians? The reason being the caf aggressors mod uses different models for civillians and insurgents, and if one could use both types of models for both insurgents and civillians you'd have the greatest visual variety while also being unable to visually predict civilian vs insurgent.

Hi,

look at this script:

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=26424

I put:

// ADD CUSTOM SCRIPTS TO UNIT HERE
if (side _unit != civilian) then 
{
[_unit,2] execVM "eos\functions\randomize.sqf";
};

I have randomize.sqf inthe same directory as EOS setskill.sqf. You can take the classnames from BIS Wiki, and for example, do the enemies like "Resistance":

_civ_clothes = ["U_OG_Guerilla2_1",
               "U_OG_Guerilla2_2",
               "U_OG_Guerilla2_3",				
               "U_OG_Guerilla3_1",
               "U_OG_Guerilla3_2",
               "U_OG_leader",
               "U_BG_Guerilla3_1",
               "U_BG_Guerilla3_2",
               "U_BG_leader",
			"U_IG_Guerilla3_1",				
			"U_IG_Guerilla3_2",
			"U_IG_Guerilla2_1",
			"U_IG_Guerilla2_2",
			"U_IG_Guerilla2_3"
			];

_civ_hats    = ["H_Shemag_olive", "H_ShemagOpen_khk", "H_ShemagOpen_tan","H_Beret_ocamo","H_Bandanna_khk","H_BandMask_blk","H_MilCap_gry"];

theres a bug with it in the recent updates where the time script does not work (always starts at 0:00 aka midnight) and all the cache points cluster very far from any towns at the bottom left of map, this is with both aggressor and not versions

Hey there, i was just looking around here seeing you was making a mission in Takistan don't know all the information about you're project. But i am making a little similiar mission also in Takistan trying to get the latest development of Iraq/Syria crisis in it. I am using High command with syrian and peshmerga units, using the zone mode to capture 3 towns hold by Al nusra, Fsa etc units and having support options like artillery and CAS, i was wondering if you need any help with this what so ever i am very glad to help.

And maybe 1 question i don't know if this is allowed, because i cant make a new thread ( don't know why ) maybe i can ask you. it is a very simple question and can find no information what so ever. When using the high command module it is very nice, but it seems when the Ai is in combat only the team leader response to youre command because all the other squad members are running around sometimes even 100 meter from him so it has no point having high command in combat situations. Then my question is this, is there a way to disable auto engage so the units will just open fire and not engage running towards the enemy.

Thank you very much and am very interested in the latest development, i think the most important thing is to have actual information and events happening around the world and put them in the mission to make it like you're actualy there but still make it fun to play. And once again if i can help with information or feedback or anything like that just let me know.

There are also vehicles the civilians may own and use to travel around in. Civilians also have a slight chance to dislike or become hostile towards coalition forces, and may go to their home to get a weapon or strap on a vest to harass the troops. All civilians and civilian vehicles are cached, which means you can come back to a town and find the same people you saw residing there last time
  • Added: ALiVE's 'View Distance' module, which allows players to adjust their view distance in multiplayer beyond the default 1600 view distance (accessible through custom ALiVE key)

  • Additional Notes:
    • Community has been very helpful with reporting major and minor issues
    • Community is also contributing by helping solve these issues

  • Begun experimenting with Nielsen and KrevsnoTrev's 'Civilian Interaction Module' in the mission (will likely wait for script version of CIM for public convenience)
  • More testing of Ohally's Middle Eastern civilians and insurgents, added by his CAF Aggressors mod (no noticeable functionality or performance issues so far, after 6+ hours of testing on client hosted server)
  • Fixed: Increased blacklisted area around NATO airbase to help prevent/delay insurgents assaulting the base early in the mission
  • Added: sidearm sight attachments to the "Attachments" crates
  • Added: more magnified optics to the "Attachments" crates
  • Added: 7.62 Suppressor (LMG) to both "Attachments" crates (only one crate had them)
  • Added: Modified Riouken's 'Gear Menu Script' and added it to the mission; players can change their uniform, vest, helmet, and backpack at a special crate at base (weapons, ammo, and attachments are still retrieved through crates)

(Mar 3 2014) | NOTE: New version of 'CBA_A3' released!

  • Fixed: NATO base marker from being deleted by IED script (NATO base is no longer set as a safezone for IEDs, since it won't spawn IEDs there anyway)
  • Fixed: Supply and Vehicle Ammo crates from exploding randomly due to damage/collision
  • Removed: IED script initializing message in Side Chat
  • Removed: IgiLoad logistics script initializing message (Intro message in center was being overlapped by init messages)
  • Removed: Animal Site Modules from the mission (will add animals after next ArmA update or when tpw releases a dedicated server compatible ambient animal script)
  • Fixed: Reduced each individual technical's spawn chance to 30%, down from 50%
  • Testers confirm LordJarhead's 'JSRS 2.1' (currently latest version) has no performance impact, CTDs, or any other issues

(Mar 2 2014)

  • Released a new version of the mission (Version is now obsolete)
  • Fixed: Crates can no longer take damage or explode (should fix crates randomly exploding at base or anywhere else for no reason)
  • Added: more cases of ammo for LMGs and long-ranged rifle ammo to crates
  • Added: more fuel and transport HEMTT vehicles
  • Added: a CRV-6e Bobcat to the base (may remove it later)

(Mar 1 2014)

  • Thorough 'JSRS 2.1' testing sessions for any performance or functionality differences from true 'vanilla' version (no performance impact)
  • Begun testing Ohally's 'Aggressors' addon for civilians and insurgents in the mission (still being tested for performance and functionality)
  • Added: zealot111's 'Helicopter Fastrope Script' to the mission
  • Added: some ArmA 2 objects in the NATO base
  • Added: more stationary technicals and technical road patrols (50% chance to spawn each technical)
  • Added: signs to crates in base to help people find what they need
  • Added: more weapons, magazines, grenades, explosives, AT launchers, etc.
  • Added: two A-143 Buzzard jets at the hangars in the NATO base for pilots to provide fixed-wing Close Air Support
  • Removed: excess items from Hunters in base to allow players to store what they need in them
  • Removed: "Supply Crates" marker from the map
  • Optimization: Rearranged order which the scripts in the mission are initialized first to last
  • Fixed: IED placement markers are now harder to see during mission initialization (to prevent spoilers/exploiting IED locations)

(Feb 28 2014)

  • Released a Pre-Alpha "test build" version of the mission (Version is now obsolete)
  • -----changes after release-----
  • Fixed: Rearranged setup of crates, vehicles, and mortars in NATO base
  • Added: Short introduction cutscene by Hazey and Sacha Ligthert
  • Added: Modified briefing to provide more helpful information
  • Removed: suicide bomber script from mission (suicide bombers will be re-implemented via ALiVE module when ALiVE update is released)
  • Removed: wounded player markers from the mission (markers sometimes wouldn't delete themselves and remain there permanently)
  • Tested mission with a lot of modded weapons, uniforms, and vehicles; results weren't too bad, but discovered some unusual major issues that didn't occur in 'vanilla' version that I'm looking into
  • Tested mission with only required mods (resulted in better performance and no stuttering, freezing, or crashes)

(Feb 27 2014)

  • Testing with JSRS 2.1 (Someone reported a 45 second freeze when nothing was going on, but everyone else hasn't had any issues)

(Feb 26 2014)

  • Fixed: Reorganized layout of base for easier navigation and logistics vehicles to pickup crates
  • Added: more weapons, optics, ammunition types, and backpacks to crates in base
  • Removed: 'Military Symbols' module from the mission due to it revealing enemy and civilian positions near players
  • Begun testing the mission in multiplayer with additional mods, such as RH weapons and A-10C (No impact on performance)

(Feb 25 2014)

  • Added: zooloo75's 'Suicide Bomber Script' to the mission (only adds 1 suicide bomber in the map, so it will likely be replaced later)
  • Removed: Nightvision goggles, chemlights, and IR grenades from players (Players can grab whatever they want/need from crates)
  • Added: three mortars in NATO base
  • Added: more IED spawn locations
  • Fixed: Replaced player 'Rifleman (AT)' class with 'Engineer' class (Engineers have a 95% chance to disarm IEDs and repair vehicles better than other classes)
  • Fixed: Reorganized items inside of crates
  • Fixed: Reorganized positioning of crates so they are easier to pickup with logistics vehicles
  • Longest test session (5+ hours) so far with 3 people and others coming on and off throughout; almost all positive results, but need more players to stress test performance

(Feb 24 2014)

  • Added: a slightly adjusted zealot111's 'Realistic Repair Script' to the mission (Experimental; may be removed later)
  • Added: brians200's 'Randomly Generated Roadside IEDs Script' to the mission
  • Added: a few more random spawned armed technicals that patrol long stretches of road that lead or pass through large villages/towns
  • Fixed: Slightly increased distance for ALiVE profiled units to spawn in
  • Fixed: Slightly increased amount of ALiVE profiles to be active at a time (set to 60; was previously 45)

(Feb 23 2014)

  • Added: Placed more animated civilians
  • Added: Some empty ambient vehicles which have a 50% chance to spawn; Some will be locked, others will be low on fuel
  • Added: Multiple animal site modules around for animal ambiance (This is experimental and may be removed)
  • Added: armed technicals that defend a specific area or patrol around Takistan (50% spawn chance for each technical)
  • Total of 14 player slots on BLUFOR (Number of slots may be adjusted later)
  • Added: Crates of weapons, ammunition, etc. have been placed at the NATO base (VAS is not being implemented for performance reasons and to make logistics roles actually useful)
  • Removed: Armored vehicles removed from mission
  • NATO base setup complete for now, further decorations and modifications may come and go
  • Added: Player now respawns at NATO base after dying
  • Added: 'IgiLoad Script' re-implemented to test functionality and usefulness of logistics in the mission
  • Fixed: Slightly increased probability of additional spawned insurgents in buildings
  • Fixed: Civilians are now friendly with all factions, in an attempt to prevent them from running away from firefights, which eventually made towns look empty (they still run away...)
  • Hours of multiplayer testing with 3-5 players for performance and bug finding
  • Fixed: a couple minor bugs
  • Added: "Military Symbols" module to show squad lead icons on the map (This is experimental and may be removed)
  • Added: Wrote a .rtf (Rich Text Document) including information about the mission, credits, and a list of known issues

(Feb 22 2014)

  • Added: More animated civilians
  • Optimization: Reduced spawn/despawn distance significantly
  • Optimization: Reduced amount of insurgents spawned in/on buildings significantly
  • Optimization: Reduced spawned mobile insurgent forces significantly
  • Added: 'A3 Wounding System' implemented and is functional (wounded player markers disabled)
  • Multiplayer testing for performance is mostly positive (framerates are well above 40 in most areas, but can dive down to 19 in large urban areas)
  • Hours of testing revealed some bugs and what needed changes; working on it now!

(Feb 21 2014)

  • Added: Placed more animated civilians in a couple towns in Takistan (Most animated civilians animate very jittery; may be a BIS issue)
  • Fixed: Each placed animated civilian now has a 50% chance to be spawned into the mission initially
  • Optimization: Adjusting ALiVE module settings to spawn less insurgents when players are around to compensate for better performance
  • Removed: Side objective scripts (They need to be modified or rebuilt entirely for desired functionality before they get added back in)
  • Removed: Logistics script has been removed temporarily, but will be added back in when the mission is complete otherwise
  • Conducted very early tests for multiplayer performance and AI functionality; performance is significantly better but still gradually degrades as session progresses

(Feb 20 2014)

  • Added: 'ALiVE' is now being used for the spawning and despawning of insurgents and also for caching pre-placed civilians
  • Added: ALiVE's 'Garbage Collection' and 'AI Skill' modules to mission
  • Added: Many civilians have been manually placed around Takistan and interact with a specific object in a visible way, so there isn't only spawned/despawned clutter civilians just walking around (I'd like to expand this much more, but baby steps!)
  • More than 20 random side objectives have been designed in a document, but have not yet been script implemented
  • Added: NATO base in Takistan 90% complete
  • Very early testing for multiplayer compatibility and functionality; almost everything works as intended and isn't choking performance

(Feb 19 2014)

  • Added: Two scripts that spawn/despawn civilian pedestrians and traffic is implemented and is functional
  • Added: Hazey and /dev/urandom have created insurgency scripts - and have given me the permission to use them - for grid markers, intel gathering, and random spawned weapon caches with adjustable mission parameters; this has been implemented and is mostly functional so far
  • Added: Thanks to Hazey and /dev/urandom, the mission is compatible with ACRE and/or Task Force Arrowhead Radio; however, neither addon is required to play the mission
  • Added: Igi_PL's IgiLoad script has been implemented and is functional
  • Added: Basic side mission script implemented, but needs to be modified for functionality and compatibility with Takistan

This mission has already been completed by a group and can easily be ported to other maps.

Looking forward to trying this again, I can see you have been busy since I last tried it! Do you have any plans to integrate Toadies excellent weapon pack?

He (or someone) came up with a little something to ensure his AKs are used by CAF agressors: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?172850-Toadie-s-SmallArms-and-Animations-for-Arma3&p=2757932&viewfull=1#post2757932

Sorry for the hiatus guys. I've been taking a break from ArmA and gaming in general. But, I'm working on my mission on and off every now and then. Currently haven't touched Takistan Insurgency, but I've been porting the mission over to F.A.T.A. and Clafghan in my spare time.

I know there are a couple game-breaking bugs (Like the non-existent cache in the corner of the map) and other lingering issues, but it's simply beyond my knowledge of scripting. I greatly appreciate all the help I've been getting though!

@PrienU24:

1. There is only one active cache on the map at a time; you must destroy the cache the intel is directing you towards to get intel on another cache.

2. Good idea, I'll write that down and try to get around to it.

3. Another good idea!

4. I've had the mission run for about a day or two on my group's dedicated server with persistence on and it works just fine. Issue is that you'll probably eventually run into that annoying corner of the map bug...

5. I saw that repair system, but haven't tried it out yet.

@MacintoshRUS: I may have to add a vehicle respawn script to replace the vanilla ArmA 3 vehicle respawn module to fix that.

@Tristen2NT: Sure. I'll send it to you as a PM.

@dixon13: I'd like to see this easy to port insurgency mission you speak of.

@NoHalfMeasures: The caches spawning in the corner of the map (But not actually existing) has been a lingering issue since the start. Only way to fix is to restart the mission. :(

@CallMeSarge: If the server is running that weapons pack with the Aggressors patch that comes with it, I think the Aggressors will use the guns. Haven't tested it though.
