That’s pretty cool lol wish I knew how to texture bodies and what not, would love to make some creature that lurks in the woods at night in Chernarus that scares the absolute crap out of players. 😂😂

 

Something almost like ”The Rake” would be absolutely terrifying. Custom sounds, make a mini mission to hunt it.

@mondkalb just posted the uniform classnames on his thread : feed them to the zed module and have fun guys!

(I recommend the mbg_alien_hybrid_01 one)

So Livonia...as far as lootable static assets go, as well as re-used static objects that are already supported by Ravage, I find there are at least five new ones that could be added...

"Land_Wreck_V3S_F","Land_DeerStand_01_F","Land_DeerStand_02_F","Land_GarbageBin_03_F","Land_ConcreteWell_02_F",

Unfortunately the upgraded A2 and DayZ buildings are all devoid of furniture, not even the proxies remain. 🙁

Still, there are some super cool solar tents complete with folded bags, and some neat portable floodlights...

As for the rest of the terrain, It definitely has the feels....

We need an rvg_egg for this enterable coup...

Are regular Arma 3 grenades, satchel charges and mines weapons or gear? Will they drop as loot when I disable A3 weapons?

Those are hardcoded into the lists, so yeah, you can disable A3 weapons : you will still find explosives in military loot.

Thank you, I wasn‘t sure because I haven‘t found anything yet.

 

Hmm, come to think about it...I do remember AI using grenades against me 😵

Hey man, I can confirm this...only last night i found a vanilla RGO frag on Livonia, GM content set to "yes", Vanilla A3 content set to "no".

Any chance we could see a couple color variations with that M 50 gas mask?  I am playing tactical barbie for 3 hours now in the editor... yeah...

A coyote, dark earth and OD green would be sweet!!

Okay, so now the respawn bug is happening even with "Select respawn position" turned OFF, which means that I now have to completely disable the multiplayer persistency setting in ALL of my missions. It truly is a game breaking bug. Here are the steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Launch ArmA 3 with only CBA and Ravage loaded.

2. On the main menu, click Multiplayer, then server browser, then host server.

3. Click Altis, then "New - 3d Editor".

4. Place down a Blufor unit, then place down Ravage mod's "Save System" module.

5. Double click the "Save System" module and enable "MP Persistency"

6. Place a marker and put in the "Variable Name": "respawn_west". Copy and paste a few of these markers around the map.

7. Click attributes, then multiplayer.

8. Set respawn type to "Respawn on Custom Position". Enable the respawn button.

9. Click test mission.

10. Keep hitting "ESC" and clicking "Respawn" until the bug gradually starts to take form. By the 10th respawn, you should be getting teleported and killed immediately upon respawning.

 

Edit: The same thing happens if you decide to use the "Description.ext" method instead of the Editor Attributes method, here are some alternate steps if you would like to use this method instead:

1. Launch ArmA 3 with only CBA and Ravage loaded.

2. On the main menu, click Multiplayer, then server browser, then host server.

3. Click Altis, then "New - 3d Editor".

4. Place down a Blufor unit, then place down Ravage mod's "Save System" module.

5. Double click the "Save System" module and enable "MP Persistency"

6. Place a marker and put in the "Variable Name": "respawn_west". Copy and paste a few of these markers around the map.

7. Save the mission and name it. Alt-tab out of the game, then go to "My Documents/Arma 3/mpmissions/themissionyoujustsaved.altis"

8. Right-click and click "New", then "Text Document". Name it "description". Open the "description" file, and paste these lines:

  respawn = "BASE";
  respawnButton = 1;
  respawnDelay = 10;

9. Click File, then Save As. In the "Save as Type" drop-down menu, select "All Files", and rename it to "description.ext".

10. Go back into ArmA 3 and test the mission as usual.

11. Keep hitting "ESC" and clicking "Respawn" until the bug gradually starts to take form. By the 10th respawn, you should be getting teleported and killed immediately upon respawning.

Oi!

 

Yeah you need to stay away from the editor MP settings in general and do things via the description.ext. Works for me anyway.

If you mean you can solve the issues ArteyFlow is having via description.ext could you show an example so everyone can benefit please.

Actually, I have tried using the description.ext method instead of the editor mp settings, and the problem still persisted...

Not really a solution but I heard it works for getting around this bug when it occurs. You will need to name your playable characters as player1 player2 and so on then when the bug occurs type player1 setDamage 1; in the local execute box or whatever player is experiencing the respawn issue will have to do the same.

To be honest, I think for now I'll just leave the Multiplayer Persistence setting turned off, at least the mod is still playable with it turned off, so that's always good. I might even take a break from Ravage for a while, so it really doesn't bother me too much. 👍

[Zakuaz 195]

I noticed there is no gusts of dust if you load in from a MP save. 

I have the gusts set to yes in the Ravage module, worked great yesterday on Icebreakrs Angola map.

Everything was making dust, footsteps, vehicle movement, gusts of dust... Now after loading in from the save it's just a little trickle from vehicle movement.

Any ideas?

 

Oh and while I'm on the dust topic... it'd be cool to have a "medium, heavy dust" option it that's even possible or not a nightmare to do haha.

I didn't have issue with ravage MP persistence on a dedicated server, every gear, object, player state are restored when connected to the server also after many respawn no issue.

For local host (listen server) you don't really need a MP persitency cause your game will be save when exit the mission.

Dust from footsteps and vehicles come from the terrain itself, the Atmosphere module only spawns dust gusts around the player. Not sure why you have no dust loading a saved game.

If MP persistency is turned off, then when other players disconnect and reconnect, they don't "pick up from where they left off" (they don't spawn where they last disconnected), only I do (makes sense since I'm the host).

 Yeah EO, I figured as much but it is odd, one thing I've not tried is setting this up on Altis or any of the vanilla maps.  It's an easy setup, Ravage, TPW, CBA, Achilles and 3den Enhanced.

 

How intensive is the dust gust particle effect/emitter anyway?  I have always wanted to really dial that effect up but I tread not past the mission folder lol.

You can patch CfgSurfaces and increase dust on certain terrain surfaces, you can really make Altis a dust bowl...

 

[Zakuaz 195]

OMG that is perfect!

Yes I like dust, you lost me when you said "You can patch" lol.

 

EO, sounds like an opportunity for another peripheral mod like Sullen Skies eh?  I'd use it and it'd be awesome if it had some dustier, really dusty and "I hope you have a 2080TI " dusty options haha!

 

Haleks, I am sorry I keep throwing out requests...well they aren't requests just ideas so with that, here is another.

Option to select frequency and number of spawned vehicles, then/and/OR it'd be awesome to have fields to customize OPFOR and INDFOR vehicles individually ... I have a drug lord on my current operation and his gear is top notch compared to what the surrounding simple folk can get their hands on. This is for the car patrols not wrecks if there was any wonder.
