Ravage

The Gf lootdrop script is awesome the only problem I had with it was from others complaining about not having to loot because they just needed to grab stuff off of dead zombies but aslong as you limit the items they drop you should be good.

I want to encourage looting, but I also would like to encourage the killing of zombies, so my idea was to try and make it so zombies would drop the money notes, and then have AI drop some medical items.

 

This is to encourage players to actually deal with obstacles, rather than outrun zombies, and avoid AI patrols (although I am sure they mainly target them due to the confirmation of weapons, ammo, and possible useful items)

 

I guess I mainly want to improve the gunplay with the AAPM mod, add in the medical aspect of ACE, and then improve the importance of zombies...because they mainly just become annoying bugs you try to avoid

 

*EDIT*: The main reason I say money notes, is because the ravage traders are set to use the Ravage currency rather than the above alternatives...and because I don't know how to make them use anything else

If you want to enhance gunplay I would suggest trying out VCOM AI mod/script or the Fire Fire Improvement System http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=22096 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=721359761

By enhance gunplay, I mean make it harder, as the armor system is too simple, all armor does in A3 is add extra HP, which is completely contradictory to what armor is supposed to do.. As actual armor can take a single bullet without causing major harm to the wearer, where as the standard system just makes you take more damage

 

*EDIT*: To negate this, you would have to shoot for weak spots, such as the exposed sides under the arms, the arms, the head, and the legs...

Oh I see it wont do nothing for health or armor wise but it will make it more challenging to take on ai as they will flank you place explosives or mines, they will also search the dead for ammo when low along with hijacking vehicles. lol plus more (:

Now that would be a good quality of life change, makes them a bit more realistic..I will look into it, I do have Vcom Ai on my mods list..

 

*EDIT*: Just got the other one, great stuff, I love the ideas..

Will do, when I get the Loot script figured out, I try to test EVERYTHING in one sitting rather than having to go back and fix it later...its been a pain to do later when an animation doesn't work lol

That would be pretty cool having actual plate carriers and plates to work with it would also be nice if the plates could become damaged overtime or after a few well placed shots.

I have been fumbling around in your script, I can give you what I changed, and you can tell me if I am on the right path ( I don't want someone to do it for me, if I can do it myself)

They actually do, or so I have gathered, it seems like a good system

*EDIT*: It seems like they got ceramics and metals down, Ceramic plates taking less than metal plates, and metal plates being heavier than ceramics

hey another mod you might want to check out is called Goko Ballistic impact if you have not already I have used it a few times pretty cool effects.  https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1273833677

I have looked at it, it seems like it would be pretty cool...I was just taken off guard with the boonie hat display, a hat would not come off with a 9mm..

 

*EDIT*: a rifle round, maybe, but nothing so absurd as it flying a few meters into the air

@Gill93

But I do like it, I will probably incorporate it into my gameplay sometime soon, just watched the full on videos..the damage system seems pretty good with helmets, as small and medium calibers break the NVGS and what not on it

Sounds good lol one of the things I like most about that mod is the particle effect added to metal objects during bullet impacts. (: I have a few other scripts/mods that I have gathered for use with Ravage if your interested just let me know.

Now I see why EO was upset that it wasn't mentioned, If I had known he made those, I would have gone ahead and grabbed those when I started Ravage! 

[BattleChief 97]

So, I got a small little kink in my plans for release...The initplayerlocal.sqf tries to activate during the intro, I need it to work AFTER the intro...anyone got anything?

 

This is what is written in my initplayerlocal.sqf

it also seems to be that if the intro plays, the script fails to equip the dead body by the wreck, and he comes out without clothes...I have tried my past fix of disabling all the unused assets (CUP, Friths, etc in the equipment pool) and that failed to work..

 

*EDIT*: I am gonna toss the mission files into a download or something, someone see if you can see what I am doing wrong..

*EDIT V.2*: I am making some headway, but I can't seem to find a way to delay the initplayerlocal.sqf script till after the intro... I am trying to the waituntil command, but I can't find a piece that tells it to wait until the intro is over and the scenario starts...

[BattleChief 97]

Well, if I can't find a solution, I guess I will just cut out my intro..its a shame...

She's uploaded to the workshop, just gotta finish a few things here and there, fill in a gap or two, and release it to the workshop...

Its under private now, but I will release it in a few, with a link to it of course.
