Because my objective here is getting rid of all the unused files inside the IRON FRONT mod folder and just leave the basic minimal content so that Ravage can pick it up for populating the world with weapons and such. I tried just deleting the PBOs already but then IRON FRONT was no longer recognized by Ravage so no WW2 weapons appeared in my server. God I would love an RAVAGE community content mini mod that would just include the assets Ravage uses from other mods. That would save me like 20GB of hard drive and a few FPSs in the process. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vandeanson 1677 Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, lv1234 said: There's no coding, the only thing i have on my respawn in terms of coding is halek's random loadout everytime the player spawns I'm just using the respawns based on the "infantry respawn" markers for bluefor only i think using the modules will not allow you to to spawn ppl at random (game chooses respawn pos), for me it never worked. i would try: place one infantry bluefor respawn marker but allow the option to select the respawn. then create the following: player setpos selectrandom ["respawnMrkr_1","respawnMrkr_2",....]; and place this code in a file onplayerrespawn.sqf. execvm "onplayerrespawn.sqf"; from initplayerlocal.sqf place the markers from the above array on your map. just as an idea. i use a similar method with a respawn in the middle of the map and as soon as i spawn there i find a safe pos via bis_fnc_findsafepos in a large area around that respawn point. and move the player there. the advantage is that each respawn is completely new and random. in case you wish to allow players to place respawn tents from ravage later in the game, you would need some changes to this, but it is doable. e.g. the pos finder is only excecuted if you spawn at the first respawn point e.g. "if (player distance respawnpoint1 < 2) then {code to find safe pos and move player there};, but not if you select to respawn on any of the respawn tents placed later. if that is what you need i am happy to pit together a script.

YakBallz 1 Posted October 11, 2018 Hi all, New to the forums and Ravage mod, I need some help, I am trying to create a Safe Zone for a single player mission. I have tried the SafeZone module but it does not work to delete the Zombies entering or making them retreat. I also tried some triggers, which work on a single placed zombie, but not on the dynamically spawned zombies. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction to either delete Zombies trying to enter a specific area, or get them to retreat or mill around outside the area. Any help appreciated! Also, great mod, thanks @Haleks, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haleks 8212 Posted October 11, 2018 So, guys... what would you say about a change of scenery? Or rather, a scenery that changes with each new game? Spoiler What you are looking at is pre-made towns (for now those are taken from vanilla maps) randomly placed on an empty terrain - N'Djenahoud in this case - to form a bigger city accross the map. The idea is to populate any empty terrain with a big, abandonned city spreading hundreds of kilometers wide. Its configuration would change with each new playthrough, forcing players to remain prudent in their explorations. Further down the line, this could give birth to some kind of "rogue survival" game, something for players to enjoy survival without the boredom of wandering in a much too familiar landscape... Now... I'm posting this in the Ravage thread, although it's not necessarily a Ravage project : it will be compatible, but in the end, chances are I'm going to use it first on either F3llout or another stand-alone project. All very much WIP, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. ;) 9 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sentinel329 12 Posted October 11, 2018 M. Haleks, I think it's a fascinating concept, and it kind of boggles my mind how you even came up with the idea, let alone worked out the code. I think most Ravage players might agree that the majority of the action takes place in cities/towns, so this would essentially eliminate the need for so much travelling around a pre-made terrain by "bringing the city to you". Here are just a couple initial thoughts/impressions: 1. How would a map like this effect performance? I have no knowledge in how to properly assess these sorts of things, but I'd be concerned that it might squash underpowered systems. 2. I'm sure you've already considered this, but the addition/inclusion of trash, wrecks, and rubble would add a lot to the immersion. I've been to ancient ruins that have been engulfed by desert sands, so the absence of streets isn't that far-fetched, especially if the setting is meant to be a few hundred years in the future. Having some remnants of human existence would just make things more interesting. 3. Would the entire map be city/urban? My own personal Ravage play-style sees me staying mobile until I've accumulated enough kit to establish a patrol base/laager in some quiet little corner of the map. If the entire map is built-up, the threat level would be much more elevated and constant, which might preclude this kind of play-style. Not that that would be a bad thing, necessarily; it can also be fun to have to learn and adapt. Just something that came to mind. Cheers, and thanks for all of your great work. I've enjoyed countless hours of entertainment from Ravage, and your time and effort are greatly appreciated. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe, although at the moment I'm not sure what form it will take : I could keep it 100% scripted, but the addon solution also brings more possibilities. Once I have a clearer picture I'll be happy to share the progress on this thing! Until then I will probably keep teasing here. ;) And I'm talking about that F3llout project : It's almost ready for a test release set on Altis - but only the free-roaming part is playable right now. 34 minutes ago, sentinel329 said: M.

I've enjoyed countless hours of entertainment from Ravage, and your time and effort are greatly appreciated. 1 : So far I've mapped most locations from Tanoa - that's about 8000 structures being dynamically spawned and cached as the player moves around. The spawn distance is based on the objectViewDistance (for now), so performances should be "as usual". I don't see any degradation, but then again I'm at the very beginning... We'll see how it goes when I'm close to cover that 400 km² map. The number of structures to be handled will also vary depending on the city configuration, plus the way I filter what object to grab and use when mapping locations is subject to changes. Potentially it could be 20, 30.000+ objects to handle. 2 : Oh yes, it is planned indeed. I'm focussed on getting the city generation and structures positionning right for now; wrecks, debris and maybe (half-burried) roads are next on the list. 3 : The plan is : the closer you get to the center of the map, the more packed and dense it will be. The edges of the map should be pretty wild, with a few villages or military installations here and there. If I go with the addon solution, I could go further and make it configurable like it's done in Ravage. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tourist 617 Posted October 11, 2018 We've been talking about this some time ago in RAVAGE Dev & Testers Group and I'm really really happy that after all those years with RAVAGE dev, you keep going and going and going to provide new content. Generated cities, eventually in an easy-to-use addon with the familiar drop down menus... You'll further empower the average ARMA user to build challenging and interesting missions with an excellent editing to playtime ratio with that kind of random city/structure generating - BIG THX for the idea and for sharing the progress! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans(z) 56 Posted October 11, 2018 @haleks is it possible to set cleanup to "no" in ravage module and run cleanup e.g. by radio 0-0-0? What is the function I should use? Does RVG cleanup system include objects spawned by @GEORGE FLOROS GR drop script? I play some edited mission from others.I killed raiders squad, then I looted 2 guys and others 2 disappeared. Could it be your cleanup system, or this is caused by something else? My settings in Eden editor is here THX for help. Edit: Minimal distance is set to "0". And regime (maybe manner) is set to "NONE". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YakBallz 1 Posted October 12, 2018 @EO The trigger you suggested still works, it is all good when I spawn in the trigger area, no Zed spawns, when i spawn outside it and Zeds have spawned, then enter the trigger area, the Zeds can still enter the area. I was hoping that there is a way to stop already spawned Zeds from entering once the trigger is activated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
