Please share some ideas.

 

If the tents have building positions then it's pretty much easy to do this, if you don't mind test if it's generating loot with my loot script and if yes , i can check about doing this.

Is there anything to the "spawn_dogs.sqf" found in the source files? Or just a WIP? Would love to have some sort of wild animal in the mission, considering I am not using zombies.

Can someone give me an idea of how can I fill CUP army tents with random items?

 

Place down empty containers and use the “addItemCargo” code and you can fill the containers with as much random Ravage loot you like! I’ve made tons of custom loot boxes this way, all using Ravage gear. Good luck! 👍  

 

This way also the items on the ground wont be deleted. Cause they’re in containers. 🙂

I’d recommend giving JBOYDOG a try, you can add feral dog packs via triggers, and even have Guards using the dogs as guard dogs! 

[acoustic 82]

According to his thread, there is no multiplayer support. Is that still the case? My only real concern is the feral dog packs.

[MuRaZorWitchKING 725]

@acoustic I’m unsure if it still doesn’t work with MP or not, you’d have to probably ask on his thread, Or read through most of it to be sure. 

[acoustic 82]

It appears it doesn't, unfortunately. Great looking mod.

Does anyone have an example of how they had to set up the custom variables in GRAD for food/hunger from Ravage?

[MuRaZorWitchKING 725]

Updated "The Burning Rain" removed quite a lot, added quite a lot. Required items is down to 9 whereas it was at 15. Frames rates stay pretty high, of course towns drag a little but that's to be expected of course in CHR REDUX. The Ravage loot menu and sleep menu's are working good again after cleaning everything up.

Use the ravage player persistency

[Highlander 17]

Hi everyone. When the Ravage mod is enabled it switches off all the street lights/airfield lights etc... on all the maps. I understand this may be done for the purposes of it being a zombie apocalypse though I would like to set up some scenarios where the lights are on around the map being Altis in this case. I can normally work it out myself having sound knowledge in the past with dayz servers and enabling the street lights.... though I cannot work out for the life of me how to enable the lights on Ravage. Would really appreciate some help regarding this. Hope someone is able to help.

 

Cheers

Hello there acoustic !

 

If there is not any other option,

you can check if they are not destroyed and they are just switched off , you can work with the example , to switch them back on

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/switchLight

or else you can hideobjectglobal and create them again.

Regarding street lights/airfield lights etc....they are disabled via the main Ravage config. Maybe, if possible, having this moved to the Atmosphere module as an on/off option would be a useful tool for mission makers.

I will run tests with the newest commands; but the reason I did that via config is because interacting with too many objects at once causes the game to crash on saving.

That's also why I made the Derelict mod : technically you can achieve the same result with a script, but it's too much for the saving system.

And that, my friends, is what separates the wheat from the chaff.  #CoverAllBases.

how to enable the lights on Ravage.

 

Try this:

if (!isserver) exitWith {};
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "scripts\light.sqf";

waituntil{time > 5};

// off: 0 = [0.95] execVM "lights.sqf";
// on: 0 = [0.95] execVM "lights.sqf";

_types = [
"PowerLines_base_F",
"Land_PowerPoleWooden_F",
"Land_LampHarbour_F",
"Land_LampDecor_F",
"Land_LampHalogen_F", 
"Land_LampSolar_F",

"Land_Mil_House",
"Land_Mil_House_EP1"];
_onoff = _this select 0;

for [{_i=0},{_i < (count _types)},{_i=_i+1}] do
{
   // powercoverage is a marker I placed.
_lamps = getMarkerPos "LIGHTSOURCE" nearObjects [_types select _i, 25000];
sleep 1;
{_x setDamage _onoff} forEach _lamps;
};

 

Activated via trigger, this script is used to DISABLE lighting, but I do in fact believe you can reverse it to where it will activate them as well, someone care to look? I used to use this script, but now I use the editor.

worth a shot! 🙂

It sets damage of the light object to above 0.9, in that state, it is too damaged to emmit light. If you set damage to 0 again, the light goes on. Atleast this is how I use this. 

 

// on: 0 = [0] execVM "lights.sqf";

 

Should be the calling line to turn lights on with above script. 

 

I hope this helps:) 

Cheers

Try this guys :

_center = getArray (configFile >> "CfgWorlds" >> worldName >> "centerPosition");
_mapSize = [worldName] call bis_fnc_mapSize;
if (_mapSize isEqualTo -1) then {
	_mapSize = 25000;
};
{
	_x setdamage [0.9,false];
} 
forEach nearestObjects  
[
	_center, 
	[
		"Lamps_base_F",
		"PowerLines_base_F",
		"PowerLines_Small_base_F",
		"Land_LampAirport_F"
	], 
	_mapSize*2,
	true
];

 

It disables all lights on the map, and it doesn't mess up saving in SP.

Ravage update coming soon!

170

Tweaked :
AutoWalk now works when a weapon is equipped.
Improved Breathfog script.
Dynamic static wrecks are assigned a vehicleVarName.
Optimized Vehicles and wrecks spawns.*
Settings Module : dynamic anim speed is now optional.
Various improvements and optimizations to the dynamic furnitures system.**
Enabled Dead Rising on the Altis demo mission.
"walk with lowered rifle" anim speed increased.
Removed redundant check in zed attack process.


Fixed :
Fixed a potential issue with the dynamic furnitures system.
Fixed undefined variable when searching an object.
Zeds could get stuck in attack loops.
Fixed several issues with zed attacks on vehicles.
'Dead Rising' wasn't 100% working when set to "killed by zeds only".


New :
Added wetsuits w/ hidden fins (Survival Suits).
Added new uniforms by EO.
Atmosphere Module : 'Disabled Lights' is now optional and has a range parameter.***
 

 

Notes :

* The vehicles module was causing a lot of micro-freezes as it was spawning a lot of vehicles at once and then caching them. The new spawn process runs a lot smoother and doesn't spike anymore.
** The function handling dynamic furnitures spawn and placement runs about twice as fast.
*** Only affects terrain objects, mission objects are left intact. Mission makers can disable all light sources in a defined range - or on the entire map.

 

I'm still testing stuff before the release, but I'm quite happy with the performance gain so far : players should feel a sensible difference with missions using most of the ravage modules.

The Myst preview on Patreon will be out right after the update.

just awesome man.... really enjoying your gear!

[tourist 617]

Looking forward to the update & to the new Uniforms!   

 

@haleksSpecial THX for all the performance improvements - might empower the SP misssion makers to create more "script heavy, but intense" content which otherwise would break savegames!

^^^This.

 

I just had to remove most the content from my mission because of too many scripts, after the optimizations I may take a peek back into adding JBOYDOG back into my scenario, cause with it the game wasn’t having it, after a good hour the UI and everything would lag terribly, even if not I can still squeeze in a couple more  scripts with the slightest performance optimization! 

 

Excited!! 😏😁

[Highlander 17]

Thanks for all your help people. And a special thanks to haleks (Where can I donate)... I will try the suggestions put forward though I really look forward to the update. Great mod... Great community... What more can I say! Thanks everyone!
