haleks 8212 Posted July 31, 2019 Hello guys! Some quick news on Patreon updates : The next upload will happen soon, and will be quite similar to the latest Myst Demo, as it will provide modules for mission making and dynamic spawn systems. But this time we won't be spawning zombies or phantoms, this new project (yet to be named) is designed to populate terrains with alien entities from the Contact DLC, with working & dynamic behaviours. Missions à la "Captive State" with alien/human alliances or "War of the Worlds" style scenarios should be sweet and easy to make with that little toy. 😉 Although they aren't easy to use as they are, BIS did a damn good job with the alien entities; the new mod will make them much more accessible with several customisation options. As usual, the Patreon version will be a first playable demo/beta, followed later on by a public release of the final product. 8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The version he edited for me is pretty basic and was mainly for the hunting aspect. I'd imagine if you ran that script during a regular Ravage scenario with bandits, renegades and zeds the skies would eventually look like this...

haleks 8212 Posted August 1, 2019 Latest results of my AI driving test sessions : I used a vehicles module with "extreme" setting to populate Malden with hundreds of vehicles and wrecks, and programmed a UGV to go through some of the bigger towns... And the thing successfully navigated through them : 30 minutes without crashing or turning over. There are still a few quirks, like odd pathfinding decisions or small collisions with the bigger wrecks, but at the end the UGV had its 6 wheels intact. The difference with vanilla behaviour is ridiculously huge. I think we're ready for a small update. 10 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RZNUNKWN 354 Posted August 1, 2019 Can someone help me out? I'm placing traders on Livonia, and they sometimes work, sometimes they don't. Spoiler Spoiler These are the errors I get, I think they are related to vanilla weapons/stuff? I tried on and off , but no results, switching presets between Altis or Chernarus makes the traders work sometimes and then they stop working. This is happening only on Livonia terrain.

Vandeanson 1677 Posted August 1, 2019 Back with a brand new pc build - feels good man 😃 Had to jump into ravage ofc...

Assaultimon 9 Posted August 1, 2019 I have a strange problem. I don't know if it has to do with the latest update. 22:32:37 Error position: <createSimpleObject [_t, [0,0,0], true]; > 22:32:37 Error 3 elements provided, 2 expected 22:32:37 File ravage\code\rvgLoot\loot_init.sqf, line 33 22:32:37 Error in expression <ache; if (_f isEqualTo "") then { _f = createSimpleObject [_t, [0,0,0], true]; > 22:32:37 Error position: <createSimpleObject [_t, [0,0,0], true]; > 22:32:37 Error 3 elements provided, 2 expected This error pops up continuously in my mission. I think it's triggered every time it tries to generate loot/when i go near houses. There is still loot, nothing seems to really be affected. There is a tweak for version 1775: "Furnitures are now spawned as local simpleObjects" Maybe that's the cause, but why would nobody else have the same problem?

cosmic10r 2331 Posted August 1, 2019 21 hours ago, EO said: @ArteyFlow It's a very easy thing to do, and testament to the vast array of awesome content out there. I go very light on the arrays and haven't run into any difficulties in the past, recently only using a mixture of Ravage gear and my GM uniforms. Loving the update, being able to only spawn trader groups is cool for those peaceful hunting trips. A solitary nomadic trader would be a nice option to have... Contact soundtrack music is very nice indeed, really lends itself to Ravage.....so good I haven't even tried the new custom music array yet. You and your quiet hunting trips....lol 😉 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acebelew 14 Posted August 1, 2019 A few questions. What does the Gear Pool Module effect: Traders? AI? Loot? Is there a way to control what is available for traders to sell? Last, I have a gear trader added to the map that often has so many items in his inventory that it scrolls off the screen and the exit button is not visible. My waepons trader and supplies trader have the limited list that is expected. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MuRaZorWitchKING 725 Posted August 2, 2019 This is Arma though, I’m used to finding a slick vehicle that’s in running order, use it for a bit, see a group of nasty bandits to my left, being completely oblivious to what lies ahead in the road... Annnnnnd now I need a dual set of front tires... And I have bandits trying to flank me now.... **Always seems to happen**^^ 😂😂😂 Or when you take that corner just a little too fast, and you roll your shit... Been there too. Good ole’ Arma never disappoints. 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alekzenit 13 Posted August 2, 2019 Hello guys, I play single player with the mcc mod and at first everything is fine with the search, but then in the city and in the houses the search process in crates, furniture and other objects starts to slow down, and it takes a lot of time, and almost stops finding anything, there was no such problem before.
