Note to mission makers : Addon compatibility for the AI and the loot system is now defined by the new Equipment Pool module - make sure to update your missions.
Please note that the new module only supports RHS, CUP & WarfareThaï for now (the lists in the OP have been updated). More mods will be added later.
 
I had to rush this update a bit to adress some issues after the latest game update : keep in mind that some of the new features are WIP or incomplete.
 
Have fun everyone!

 

EDIT : By the way, editor-placed zombies should be fully compatible with the Simulation Manager. ;)

Yay. its up! time to try ravage again.

[EO 11275]

One of the coolest features of v136 is the ability to define what uniforms the Infected wear, this addition to the Ambient Zombie module will accommodate virtually any uniform mod, not just the ones that are officially supported by Ravage.

I have already compiled some lists that contain uniform classnames that can be copy/pasted into the Zombie Uniform Override....

 

Here is the link to the list of lists: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qf4alrw0baz0nou/AAAk316zp0fo5bmN8WYydynca?dl=0

Hope you guys find this helpful and useful.  😉

Nice one EO

Hey cosmic i dont know if you saw my post a while back on your thread about the gps issue but would you happen to know why the GPS doesnt open with Rctrl + M anymore?

No idea man... mine works fine... maybe a few other people could try there's to see if it's working for them...

[jakkob4682 23]

getting an error when using 1.36.  RVG_fnc_init_save.  Type Bool expected Array index 1["postInit",false].  Also getting the author error still?  Is this a CBA issue then?

[LykosMactire 298]

A successful evacuation of survivors of a white plague outbreak in the esseker region. All other armed personnel in the region has been confirmed infected, either turning or slowly going mad until their death. During the evacuation an armed offroad attempted to shoot down the evac, but the driver had seemingly turned and drove the car into the esseker river. 

 

in regards to my play session, i would like to toss some ideas around for Ravage.

• Bring back unarmed vehicle patrols. not everyone has to have a 50 cal.
• Ability to set areas synced to markers to create "military zones" where the more military weapons can spawn (set by a classname field like the zombie uniforms) along with military MRAPs
• ability to add vests and headgear to zombies (a % factor and classname list)

[jakkob4682 23]

What version of CBA and Ravage are  you using? When I try to play an editor created mission I'm getting RVG_fnc_init_save errors.... and no zombies spawn using either SP or ambient modules

[EO 11275]

• ability to add vests and headgear to zombies (a % factor and classname list)

 

I asked this very question while testing v136....I believe haleks always keeps performance in mind, adding headgear and vests to a scenario that potentially has large numbers of Infected would have an adverse effect on performance.

That aside, I do like the idea of a % factor, or maybe just limiting extra gear to military zeds.......that could be a bitch to code tho'

What version of CBA are you using? are you running any other mods other than Ravage and CBA?.......after a major update Arma+mods are a fragile partnership.  

[jakkob4682 23]

CBA 2.4 and Ravage 1.36... and getting init_save errors referring to type bool expected array @ ["postInit",false]

 

Steam version CBA and the google driver version for Ravage which is 1.36.  I thought maybe it was an issue w/ alive and ravage at first so I disabled alive but the problem still persists.  So only two mods are ravage and cba

 

Its only editor created missions that are bugging... playing the sp ravage mission from scenarios doesn't create an issue, zombies appear as they should but when i extract the mission and port it to the editor it happens

[neofit 65]

I am having trouble resuming a mission after leaving the game. I first noticed it in Cosmic10r's "A Mission" and "Escape", but since I can reproduce it in the sample mission that comes with Ravage (the one where you start in a truck full of dead people), I will repost it here.

 

The problem is in that the Team window is broken after I leave the game and restart, in a SP scenario.

 

1. I start a new mission:



2. I "Save and Exit", DO NOT quit Arma3, then Resume, no problem, same screenshot, the team is properly detailed there.

3. I "Save and Exit", quit Arma to the desktop, restart it then hit "Resume":



Only mods: CBA 2.3.1 and 2.4.0, Ravage 0.1.35 and 0.1.36

If I recruit a teammate before leaving the game (in a Cosmic10r scenario), upon Resuming:



Same thing if I recruit after the team window was blanked.

Also, if I save before leaving the game, once the team window is borked by a Resume, if I try to load this old save from when the window was OK, it does not fix the Team window. It happens whether I load a save made with BIS' Save menu option, or the Quicksave in the 0-0-1 menu. Once I Resumed the game, the Team window is borked and will not come back if I load the Quicksave made from radio menu.

I am not sure it is wise to keep playing with such a borked Team window, it may be an indication that something else is broken too.

I also get this type of init_save error while previewing my missions, ravage somewhat force save consistency even if outside of a mission or eden editor.Previewing a loadout in the virtual arsenal with ravage mod enabled you always have to "save and exit" to even try a different gear.

[haleks 8212]

Hi guys,

 

Don't worry about the init_save error : it doesn't impact the game nor any of the mod features.

I will investigate the save/load issue though, and see if I can reproduce it. But it might not be a Ravage thing : I've seen several people complaining that they can't load any kind of save after the 1.60 update.

OMG, you are absolutely correct. I start a stock East Wind campaign mission, Save & Exit, exit the game, restart and Resume, and boom, my Team window is empty as in the screenshots above. Sorry for wasting everyone's time, mine included, but I could never have imagined that the base game itself couldn't load a save. I've been gaming since Manic Miner and The Hobbit on the ZX Spectrum and I cannot remember a game not being able to load a save made by its very version :). Grats BIS, this is a new low.

[tortuosit 486]

Is there a spawn delay? I'm observing map via MCC and it seems to take some serious time to spawn zedz and AI? Or do I have to run through trigger zones?

New Ravage on dev branch that is...

EDIT: Maybe I wassn't in an appropriate zone... I teleported to close to Sofia and now spawns are appearing.

I mean the coding may not be that hard, he could basically split the code into 2 separate classes, one for regular zombies that will spawn primarily at non-military structures, and military zombies with headgear and vests possible to spawn near military structures. and a separate uniform classname lineset for the gear. its just an idea though i wont pester him about it

[Lecter 66]

Haleks is it possible to make permanent Radiers guards inside military camps (those with watchtowers and domes)? It would be nice if you could add this so we actually have to fight to get the military loot. Say like 5-8 radiers who would only guard the military camp.

[BDC 47]

Just played the 0.136 version with the newest 1.1 Escape Altis mission with my wife. Played thru it in a couple hours. Nice job guys.

Good to see Ravage back again.

 

Has anyone tried Massi's weapons and Tryk's uniforms on Ravage since the update? Did they work? I used them in the Ravage sample mission but they didn't seem to have any effect at all.
