They will remain the same, it's only the way loot spawns that is being changed; so any script that you may use to override those lists should work still after the next update.

lv1234 75 Posted October 28, 2017 1 hour ago, haleks said: Some quick news about the next update : I took a few hours today to focus on various tweaks and fixes not related to the new loot/furnitures system. Mostly traders and zombies related stuff - I'm still reviewing what else needs fixing for traders, but here's the changelog so far : *Zombies have been assigned proper nameSounds : This means that the AI will no longer use "unknown_type" when calling out spotted zombies. Instead of saying "Contact, unknown, 100 meters", your AI squadmates will now say "Contact, Walker, 100 meters", either on radio or directly. "Walker" is the best word I could find in the vanilla audio files, it has variants for pretty much every voice ingame so it should feel natural and "vanilla" (so to speak) in most scenarios - except that runners and bolters will also be called "walkers" by the AI... If you fancy a remake of The Walking Dead, Ravage 147 will be perfect for it, haha! ^^ There's still a lot of work to be done on the loot & furnitures system (that's why it's not the changelog yet), but thanks to EO and Cosmic, we are making good progress on the more time consuming aspects (creating all the compos for all buildings). The concept itself is working pretty good both technically and performance-wise; all is left is to do is finishing the compos and the actual implementation : if possible, I'd like to avoid breaking older missions with the new module, but that is going to be a headache... EDIT : I should probably mention that the next update will most likely no longer use the damaged models for Altis/Stratis structures, as their current implementation causes too many issues with ambient furnitures. Great work, Haleks Have you found out the distance you have to move away from the traders (esp. stationary ones in tanoa), in order for the sold items to change?

Gunter Severloh 3948 Posted October 29, 2017 10 hours ago, haleks said: Zombies were able to detect deployed mines and explosives. Nice update Haleks! As for what i quoted here, couple of things, im thinking that since zombies are basically dead humans come back to life, and staggering around like they are struggling to do anything, would it not be more ideal to make them "dumb" and disabled, i mean giving them the ability to detect things other then the player is giving them powers aside the basic instincts and or cravings/urges to attack what is living hence the player and other AI. Being able to see mines, or any type mines should not make them avoid them, i think their vision should be obscure where all they see is "life" of the player and other AI, if they have the smarts enough to avoid mines, then they should have smarts enough to pick a gun up and shoot you with it, giving a zombie the ability to differentiate whats dangerous should imo be null, or not existent, all they are is revived instinct. Lastly I also think that their spotting ability should be reduced in terms of sight, however their hearing ability can be sharp but i think if you can crouch you can make yourself more... not as loud and or even almost silent where you can sneak up on them and use something like this on them: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27262 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wesdaddy 0 Posted October 29, 2017 This may be a dumb question but im so new to scripting I just cant figure it out. I want to change the loot crates/suitcases in ravage, to just spawn a "GroundWeaponHolder" aka just show the item on the ground. I see it's already done with backpacks, but I know I need to change additional things in that script to make it work with clothes, weapons, magazines, food/water, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

boyce05 3 Posted October 29, 2017 I would like to ask 2 things- 1- Would it be possible to make the respawn tents individual, so when placed only the person who placed them can spawn on them 2- Is there any possibility of adding buildable furniture/defenses as currently I am using ace placables but it is not ideal.

Yes, Gaverio is right : try having zombies walking into a mine field in the current release : zombies will always try to walk around them mines. This behaviour will be fixed with the next update : zombies will be oblivious to mines and happily walk on them. :) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right, for some reason my brain decided to just read what was fixed and not actually process the fact that it was fixed, so its a win anyways, lol im a realist when it comes to things, even with zombies it got to be believable to me or my mind wont accept it, as much as zombies are partially believable its got to be something that you think you would actually see, the runners aspect of the mod we probably could say are not really zombies but rather people f*cked up in the head so bad they will attack anyone, i guess, idk whats everyone else's theory? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tourist 617 Posted October 29, 2017 @Gunter: The behaviour of zombies has partial roots in reality. In situations where humans found themselves forced to eat human flesh like e.g. some of the polar expeditions or long lasting sieges, there are some historical reports of folks going all crazy after the've done it. This might have more psychological reasons than physiological. But in more modern times (20th cenbtury), the root of the brain disease called "Kuru" occurring so unusually common amongst a certain tribe in Papua New Guinea has been found to be said tribes custom to eat parts of their dead, especially the brains, as a symbol of veneration and to keep the deceased's wisdom alive in the tribe. The ones infected by Kuru act more like our Walkers here - with some of them showing very erratic body movements, but not necessarily aggressive behaviour including vicious attacks on others. So our zombies are IMHO a combination of various historical observations and cultural myths like the Wiedergänger Myth in all Germanic culture countries. And the best part. it's so damned fun to play this in a MILSIM engine like ARMA! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is something that has been observed IRL already, Cordyceps fungus mind-controlling ants : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiocordyceps_unilateralis https://askabiologist.asu.edu/zombie-ants Fascinating stuff, from the Zombie ants Quote One day the zombie ant leaves the nest in search of a place the fungus can grow. The ant will climb up above the forest floor and bite down on the underside of a leaf in just the right conditions. There, the ant dies. But that is not the end of this story. Firmly attached to the leaf through the ant's bite, the fungus again starts to grow. A long stalk bursts out of the ant’s head and continues to develop until it forms an ascoma. This is the fungus fruit, which releases new spores to transform other ants into zombies. So in a scenario we could somehow exaggerate the fungus where it could come from a meteor that crashed landed on the planet, and started spreading to infect the inhabitants. Could be an experiment gone wrong where a fungus was being tested or sampled, and somehow infected the tester, ideas go on and on with this. Its rather believable, for people it would be interesting to see the state they would be in if the same fungus infected a person, the scale would i think have to be larger. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
