INDEPENDENT's main goal is to sneak deep into enemy territory and destroy with explosives military objects.

Civilians are hostile towards BLUFOR and OPFOR

dedicated server recommended

notice: mission loads freaky slow!

apart of Stratis and Takistan version, you need a fast and up to date server/computer to run these missions!

I do NOT give any support if you run mission with other addons than the required ones!

Please wait a few seconds at mission start, scenario needs to load a lot of data!
I did not set mission persistence for ALiVE WarRoom, feel free to unpack mission
set all ALiVE modules to persistent and add the ALiVE Database module.
R3F Logistics is configured for ALiVE persistence but also disabled, ALiVE wiki Supported Scripts
you can enable it by removing the "//".
ALiVE wiki Database, ALiVE wiki Persistence

This mission is NOT intended to work in singleplayer! But you can host it LAN.
This mission is still WIP, I may alter or release certain restrictions from license the mission is considered as stable.
This mission will be updated frequently, for most up to date version download from googledrive.

missions updated:

fixed slingload cargo bug introduced with update 1.46

unfortunately you need now DLC Helicopters to move VA Ammoboxes with choppers
you can still use R3F Logistics and load the VA Ammobox Net into cargo of vehicles!

NOTE:
mission development is halted until BI releases hotfix or patch
for slingload cargo bugs introduced with "splendid" update 1.46

please vote ticket up!

[maquez 141]

good news we back in business, development team has switched to development build 1.47!

NOTE for 1.46 users:
unfortunately you need now DLC Helicopters to move "Virtual Arsenal Cargo Boxes" with choppers
reason is bugs that got introduced with "splendid" update 1.46.


we do look for a gifted scripter, if interested read please:

mission updated:

ALiVE RHS | Cold War - fixed error with insurgents

(why nobody did give any feedback that mission does not load?)

note:
ALiVE RHS | Cold War (Stratis) - This mission was only a test, if nobody gives any feedback I will make it soon private again!
So if you like to have this version give feedback.

Maquez, trying out your mission. Overall I can tell a lot of work has been done, thank you for that. I'm not sure if having 3 ZEUS players on 3 different teams is a good idea. They can fly anywhere on the map and have unlimited power. I'm not quite sure why you put them there, could you explain?

Also, regardless of the team you join you can load virtual arsenal and equip anything you want, this takes away from the game. Is there a way you could limit this?

More feedback to come as I play it more, thanks again for the hard work.

[maquez 141]

thank you very much for feedback, unfortunately due lack of any useful BI documentation on how to limit equipment
on both Zeus and virtual arsenal, its difficult to realize that. A script I created did not work at all,
but I will as soon find any good documentation or help from somebody change that.

there is also lack of any documentation on how to make the enemy teams invisible to Zeus, same here as soon I find anything it will be changed too.

for now mission needs disciplined teams/squad leaders!

kind regards

There's a mod out there that uses zeus and has a "fog of war" for units.

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?182473-GetTactical-a-tactical-RTS-interface

You could create a case statement that loads zeus modules depending on what faction your on (INDY, OPFOR, BLUFOR, ETC). I would also recommend creating some sort of point system for squadleaders that limits what they can spawn in....

[thenach 10]

Maquez, thanks for these missions using Alive.

Feedback:

I think the R3F logistics is bugged because each time I move the box I and ppl try to access the arsenal it make the Arma to crash.

If I don't move the box they are able to access it without any problem.

[maquez 141]

strange we never had any problems with R3F logistics, during our intensive tests it worked always flawless.

do you use any mods apart the required ones?

Yeah, we use multiple Mods.

But the real problem is when we "move" the box. if we use the Arsenal when the box is at base no issues there.

Now we move it to let's have FOB closer to the enemy location or to supply the guys at the front, each time the use the "arsenal" option in the menu it show the "loading" screen for it and then crash.

this mod is only "singleplayer" so not very useful for mission and I'm also not a friend of missions with a ton of addons.

sorry can't help you ... start mission only with "required" mods!

Correct, but you could reach out to him and ask to use his method for implementing fog of war. He clearly has an understanding of how to manipulate the zeus module.

[maquez 141]

Because of personal reasons I am not able to update and further develop the missions for a while.
I am sorry about this.
