friznit2 350 Posted May 6, 2021 ALiVEmod.com The next generation dynamic persistent mission addon for ArmA3 Release 1.14 SOG Prairie Fire cDLC Update To coincide with release of the exciting new Creator DLC: SOG Prairie Fire, this update provides full compatibility for the new Vietnam map, factions and units. We've also included 4 new scenarios, which will be available to play on the SOG Prairie Fire ALiVE public server and also our own official ALiVE public server hosted by Kelly's Heroes. In the meantime we have also made over 300 bug fixes, feature enhancements and refinements. Some of these changes could impact existing missions so as always we strongly recommend deleting and replacing ALiVE modules if you experience odd behaviour. In addition, we have provided a selection of Vietnam-era compositions to complement the new ALiVE missions. ALiVE SOG Prairie Fire Compositions is available as a separate download on the Steam Workshop. The compositions will automatically be used by ALiVE placement modules but can also be used standalone and placed manually in the editor. Single player, local hosts and dedicated servers need to run the mod to use the compositions with ALiVE. Note that clients joining dedicated servers do not need to subscribe (though they do need the cDLC obviously!) Release Highlights The full list of changes is on github but some highlights include: Maps: Cam Lao Nam (for SOG Prairie Fire); Anizay; Cham & Cham Winter; Deniland; UMB Columbia; Vidda; Vinjesvingec; Altiplano; Djalka; Goose Green; Halsoy; Hellanmaa & Winter; Krasnorus; Pulau; RHSPKL; Ryderwoord Island; Scargard; Scottish Highlands; VT5 (massive thanks to sevn10!) Missions: Four new SOG Praire Fire scenarios Factions: added full support for SOG Prairie Fire and Global Mobilisation Military AI Commander: Improved OPCOM objective selection (effectively slowing down the initial rate of advance, which will likely have a big impact on invasion type scenarios) Military AI Commander: Asymmetric mode updated to support era specific IEDs, vehicles and factories Military Air Component Commander: major overhaul to improve Air Tasking Orders MACC Player Tasks: Military Air Commander can now delegate SEAD and CSAR tasks to Players via the Strategic Player Tasks system (if enabled in C2ISTAR module) C2ISTAR: Option added to disable Image Intelligence Military Logistics: major overhaul to improve heli insertions in high density terrain such as jungle Virtual AI System: Fixed profile speed limiter (slow is now properly slow); added option to disable Zeus spawning virtual groups CQB: Support added for caves and tunnels Player Combat Support: Improved artillery ordnance detection; added Attack Ground feature for untargetted air attack runs (such as napalm drops) Civ Pop: Added support for SOG Prairie Fire including ambient sounds and VN_Rations for Humanitarian Aid in COIN scenarios (OPCOM Asymmetric) Download from the Steam Workshop Also available on Github and ALiVEmod.com (usually within 24 hours of this post) Get SOG Prairie Fire Compositions here Please note that as with all updates, if you have an issue loading a mission made with a previous version of ALiVE, delete and replace the modules in that mission. Known Issues & Support Existing bugs are listed on Github here. ALiVE dev is in maintenance only mode so new features from the core team will be rare (though we are working on some). Feel free to Fork or submit PRs. Join us on Discord for support - it's far more active than the forum. Manual Please refer to the ALiVE Wiki. All the info you need is there. Acknowledgements and Thanks Particular thanks to all those on our support forum who have worked closely with us to identify bugs, provide logs and generally help us improve ALiVE. Your assistance is valuable and your dedication to ALiVE makes it all worth the effort! Have fun! 10 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needing to find out how in depth or simplified these things are http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Virtual_AI_System Nothing here -any ideas? For the sake of performance, things are fairly simplified, though we did upgrade it a few years ago. Things generally work as you would expect, helicopter > vehicles > infantry (its not that simple just to be clear). Each unit type has their own stats such as damage per hit, accuracy, fire rate, and a bonus "critical hit" chance and damage modifier to simulate things such as grenades / AT / guided missiles and such. Any fight could go either way, but these values are weighted in a manner that makes them favor a realistic outcome. It's also important to remember that unit damage persists between battles, so an armored unit can't just slam through infantry group after infantry group all day long. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tourist 617 Posted May 19, 2021 @spyderblack723 THX for the tip; in a way you helped me twice! ✌️ Once with your tip here and twice because I opened the mission in editor anyway before having even read your reply here to add your modules to it...🤣 I have a dedi server, but I found myself like so often tasked to take on a coop mission on my own with AI, so I quickly realized the default kit the SOG PF and Army guys get was not not up to the mission's demands in firepower and versatility of roles within an eight man team. What did I sorely miss then? - Righty, your loadout module allowing me to slap all kind of kits onto my AI subordinates in record time! Although it would probaly defeat the spirit of the mission, I'm tempted to add the recruitment module as well just because I can and because it would give me some Montagnard CIDG buddies if I'd like to have them!

tourist 617 Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Back again with more questions about the ALiVE Team's CDLC missions. The one I started to customize is Diamond Hands by @tupolov First I got the beloved & much needed Spyder Addons recruitment & loadout manager into it np after opening the mission folders available from ALiVE website in 3DEN. Then I tried to add a script into it and failed so far. Since the design goal for my version is to make the mission more fun to play alone with AI, I made the Team members non-playable and now want to include the INCON Squad Persistence script into the description.ext which allows me to save health, ammo count etc of non-playable AI teammates. This script works fine for me in other ALIVE missions which have the functions called in the "classic" way from an entry directly in the description.ext. I simply add the code for INCON Squad persistence and then it works. As an example I'll show the template from INCON: Spoiler class CfgFunctions { #include "INC_persist\cfgFunctions.hpp" }; class CfgRemoteExec { class Functions { mode = 2; jip = 1; #include "INC_persist\functionsWhitelist.hpp" }; }; So I have two classes to consider in order to make this script work. In Diamond Hands, the Functions are however called differently: Spoiler dev = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_AUTHOR_ALIVE_DH; author = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_AUTH_MISSION_ALIVE_DH; overviewPicture = "x\alive\addons\missions\mpscenarios\ALiVE_Diamond_Hands.Cam_Lao_Nam\pics\scenario.paa"; overviewText = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_DESC_MISSION_ALIVE_DH; onLoadName = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_TITLE_MISSION_ALIVE_DH; onLoadMission = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_DESC_MISSION_ALIVE_DH; loadScreen = "x\alive\addons\missions\mpscenarios\ALiVE_Diamond_Hands.Cam_Lao_Nam\pics\execution.paa"; disabledAI = 0; aiKills = 0; joinUnassigned = 1; saving = 0; enableDebugConsole = 1; allowFunctionsLog = 1; allowFunctionsRecompile = 0; respawn = 3; respawnOnStart = -1; respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition", "Spectator"}; respawnDelay = 15; RespawnDialog = 0; respawnButton = 1; corpseManagerMode = 2; corpseLimit = 50; corpseRemovalMaxTime = 450; minPlayerDistance = 150; allowProfileGlasses = 0; briefing = 1; debriefing = 1; #include "CfgFunctions.inc" #include "classes.hpp" class header { gametype = ALIVE; minplayers = 1; maxplayers = 8; playerCountMultipleOf = 1; }; class Params { class EnvironmentSettings { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_ENVIRONMENT_SETTINGS; values[] = {""}; texts[] = {""}; default = ""; }; #include "params\paramRespawnTickets.hpp" class vn_respawn_delay { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_RESPAWN_DELAY; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {10, 30, 60, 90, 120}; texts[] = {"10", "30", "60", "90", "120"}; default = 10; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_respawnDelay"; }; class Stamina { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_STAMINA; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_stamina"; }; class AimCoef { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_AIMCOEF; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 0; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_aimCoef"; }; class FailOnWipe { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_FAILONWIPE; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_failOnWipe"; }; class TeleportAction { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_TELEPORTACTION; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_teleportAction"; }; class MissionArsenal { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_ARSENAL; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_arsenal"; }; class Enablemapmarkers { title = $STR_VN_COALIVE_PARAMS_MAPMARKERS_DH; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_mapMarkers"; }; class RotorLib { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_ROTORLIB_DH; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {2, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 2; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_rotorLib"; }; }; class CfgMusic { class Fortunate_Son { name = "Fortunate Son"; duration = 141; sound[] = {"music\fortunate.ogg", db + 10,1.0}; }; class Adagio { name = "Adagio for Strings"; duration = 420; sound[] = {"music\adagio.ogg", db + 10,1.0}; }; }; The content of the file named "CfgFunctions.inc" are these: Spoiler class CfgFunctions { class VNALIVE_Missions { tag = "vn_alivems"; class coalive_fnc { file = "fnc"; class coalive_briefing { postInit = 1; }; class coalive_respawnInit { postInit = 1; }; }; class params { file = "fnc"; class params_arsenal { recompile = 0; }; class params_aimCoef { recompile = 0; }; class params_failOnWipe { recompile = 0; }; class params_hints { recompile = 0; }; class params_respawnDelay { recompile = 0; }; class params_stamina { recompile = 0; }; class params_teleportAction { recompile = 0; }; class params_mapMarkers { recompile = 0; }; class params_rotorLib { recompile = 0; }; }; }; }; Now when I simply add the code calling for INCON Squad persistence into this file, the game can't find it. I tried adding the INCON code part 1 like this: "CfgFunctions.inc" : Spoiler class CfgFunctions { #include "INC_persist\cfgFunctions.hpp" class VNALIVE_Missions { tag = "vn_alivems"; class coalive_fnc { file = "fnc"; class coalive_briefing { postInit = 1; }; class coalive_respawnInit { postInit = 1; }; }; class params { file = "fnc"; class params_arsenal { recompile = 0; }; class params_aimCoef { recompile = 0; }; class params_failOnWipe { recompile = 0; }; class params_hints { recompile = 0; }; class params_respawnDelay { recompile = 0; }; class params_stamina { recompile = 0; }; class params_teleportAction { recompile = 0; }; class params_mapMarkers { recompile = 0; }; class params_rotorLib { recompile = 0; }; }; }; }; And then I added the INCON code part 2 into description.ext like usually since I assume that a cfgRemoteExec code is a different class of code than a cfgFunctions code and I couldn't find a place within the CfgFunctions.inc where I would paste that code in. The resulting description.ext looked like this: Spoiler dev = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_AUTHOR_ALIVE_DH; author = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_AUTH_MISSION_ALIVE_DH; overviewPicture = "x\alive\addons\missions\mpscenarios\ALiVE_Diamond_Hands.Cam_Lao_Nam\pics\scenario.paa"; overviewText = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_DESC_MISSION_ALIVE_DH; onLoadName = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_TITLE_MISSION_ALIVE_DH; onLoadMission = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_DESC_MISSION_ALIVE_DH; loadScreen = "x\alive\addons\missions\mpscenarios\ALiVE_Diamond_Hands.Cam_Lao_Nam\pics\execution.paa"; disabledAI = 0; aiKills = 0; joinUnassigned = 1; saving = 0; enableDebugConsole = 1; allowFunctionsLog = 1; allowFunctionsRecompile = 0; respawn = 3; respawnOnStart = -1; respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition", "Spectator"}; respawnDelay = 15; RespawnDialog = 0; respawnButton = 1; corpseManagerMode = 2; corpseLimit = 50; corpseRemovalMaxTime = 450; minPlayerDistance = 150; allowProfileGlasses = 0; briefing = 1; debriefing = 1; #include "CfgFunctions.inc" #include "classes.hpp" class header { gametype = ALIVE; minplayers = 1; maxplayers = 8; playerCountMultipleOf = 1; }; class Params { class EnvironmentSettings { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_ENVIRONMENT_SETTINGS; values[] = {""}; texts[] = {""}; default = ""; }; #include "params\paramRespawnTickets.hpp" class vn_respawn_delay { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_RESPAWN_DELAY; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {10, 30, 60, 90, 120}; texts[] = {"10", "30", "60", "90", "120"}; default = 10; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_respawnDelay"; }; class Stamina { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_STAMINA; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_stamina"; }; class AimCoef { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_AIMCOEF; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 0; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_aimCoef"; }; class FailOnWipe { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_FAILONWIPE; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_failOnWipe"; }; class TeleportAction { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_TELEPORTACTION; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_teleportAction"; }; class MissionArsenal { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_ARSENAL; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_arsenal"; }; class Enablemapmarkers { title = $STR_VN_COALIVE_PARAMS_MAPMARKERS_DH; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_mapMarkers"; }; class RotorLib { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_ROTORLIB_DH; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {2, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 2; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_rotorLib"; }; }; class CfgMusic { class Fortunate_Son { name = "Fortunate Son"; duration = 141; sound[] = {"music\fortunate.ogg", db + 10,1.0}; }; class Adagio { name = "Adagio for Strings"; duration = 420; sound[] = {"music\adagio.ogg", db + 10,1.0}; }; }; class CfgRemoteExec { class Functions { mode = 2; jip = 1; #include "INC_persist\functionsWhitelist.hpp" }; }; When I tried this, the error message stated that the INCON script called from within the cfgFuntions.inc file could not be found. So I went along an entirely different approach and copied the complete code from the cfgFuntions.inc file into description ext like this with the INCON code part 1 included and added ofc again the INCON code part 2 at the very end: Spoiler dev = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_AUTHOR_ALIVE_DH; author = $STR_VN_MISSIONS_AUTH_MISSION_ALIVE_DH; overviewPicture = "x\alive\addons\missions\mpscenarios\ALiVE_Diamond_Hands.Cam_Lao_Nam\pics\scenario.paa"; overviewText = Diamond Hand tourist version; onLoadName = Diamond Hand tourist version; onLoadMission = Diamond Hand tourist version; loadScreen = "x\alive\addons\missions\mpscenarios\ALiVE_Diamond_Hands.Cam_Lao_Nam\pics\execution.paa"; disabledAI = 0; aiKills = 1; joinUnassigned = 1; saving = 1; enableDebugConsole = 1; allowFunctionsLog = 1; allowFunctionsRecompile = 0; respawn = 3; respawnOnStart = -1; respawnTemplates[] = {"MenuPosition", "Spectator"}; respawnDelay = 15; RespawnDialog = 0; respawnButton = 1; corpseManagerMode = 2; corpseLimit = 50; corpseRemovalMaxTime = 450; minPlayerDistance = 150; allowProfileGlasses = 0; briefing = 1; debriefing = 1; class CfgFunctions { #include "INC_persist\cfgFunctions.hpp" class VNALIVE_Missions { tag = "vn_alivems"; class coalive_fnc { file = "fnc"; class coalive_briefing { postInit = 1; }; class coalive_respawnInit { postInit = 1; }; }; #include "classes.hpp" class header { gametype = ALIVE; minplayers = 1; maxplayers = 8; playerCountMultipleOf = 1; }; class Params { file = "fnc"; class params_arsenal { recompile = 0; }; class params_aimCoef { recompile = 0; }; class params_failOnWipe { recompile = 0; }; class params_hints { recompile = 0; }; class params_respawnDelay { recompile = 0; }; class params_stamina { recompile = 0; }; class params_teleportAction { recompile = 0; }; class params_mapMarkers { recompile = 0; }; class params_rotorLib { recompile = 0; }; class EnvironmentSettings { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_ENVIRONMENT_SETTINGS; values[] = {""}; texts[] = {""}; default = ""; }; #include "params\paramRespawnTickets.hpp" class vn_respawn_delay { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_RESPAWN_DELAY; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {10, 30, 60, 90, 120}; texts[] = {"10", "30", "60", "90", "120"}; default = 10; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_respawnDelay"; }; class Stamina { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_STAMINA; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_stamina"; }; class AimCoef { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_AIMCOEF; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 0; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_aimCoef"; }; class FailOnWipe { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_FAILONWIPE; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_failOnWipe"; }; class TeleportAction { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_TELEPORTACTION; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_teleportAction"; }; class MissionArsenal { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_ARSENAL; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_arsenal"; }; class Enablemapmarkers { title = $STR_VN_COALIVE_PARAMS_MAPMARKERS_DH; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {0, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 1; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_mapMarkers"; }; class RotorLib { title = $STR_VN_PARAMS_ROTORLIB_DH; isGlobal = 1; values[] = {2, 1}; texts[] = {$STR_DISP_OPT_DISABLED, $STR_DISP_OPT_ENABLED}; default = 2; function = "vn_alivems_fnc_params_rotorLib"; }; }; class CfgMusic { class Fortunate_Son { name = "Fortunate Son"; duration = 141; sound[] = {"music\fortunate.ogg", db + 10,1.0}; }; class Adagio { name = "Adagio for Strings"; duration = 420; sound[] = {"music\adagio.ogg", db + 10,1.0}; }; }; class CfgRemoteExec { class Functions { mode = 2; jip = 1; #include "INC_persist\functionsWhitelist.hpp" }; }; The mission can then be started without an error message about INCON, but now neither the INCON script nor the majority of the scripts work, e.g. the fail on wipe script works, but I can't change any parameters in the lobby and INCON doesn't save my AI teammates. I guess it all comes down to my lack of understanding how a cfgFunctions.inc file works. Hopefully the ALiVE devs or the usual helpful crowd here can lend me a hand here and show me how & where to add the INCON Squad persistence script... 1000x THX for reading thru all the code until now and another 1000x THX in advance for any tips tourist Edited May 22, 2021 by tourist typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friznit2 350 Posted June 11, 2021 ALiVEmod.com The next generation dynamic persistent mission addon for ArmA3 Release 1.14.2 SOG Prairie Fire cDLC Iterative Update Various fixes, enhancements and tweaks to maps, modules and missions to support the latest release of the SOG Prairie Fire cDLC, with many fringe benefits to regular ALiVE scenarios. In particular, caves should be populate properly now for all your tunnel rat shenanigans. What We're Working On Whilst ALiVE was originally conceived as a mission making tool, there are a couple of things we'd like to enhance to make ALiVE missions more intuitive to players, in particular exposing some of the background activity so its easier to figure out what to do in an open ended scenario. We'll release these when they're ready™. Full Player Tasks integration with Mil Logistics, ATO and AI Commanders. Rework of the C2ISTAR Intelligence framework Enhancements to Combat Support (Marcel promised) Download from the Steam Workshop Also available on Github and ALiVEmod.com (usually within 24 hours of this post) Get SOG Prairie Fire Compositions here Please note that as with all updates, if you have an issue loading a mission made with a previous version of ALiVE, delete and replace the modules in that mission. Known Issues & Support Existing bugs are listed on Github here. ALiVE dev is in maintenance only mode so new features from the core team will be rare (though we are working on some). Feel free to Fork or submit PRs. Join us on Discord for support - it's far more active than the forum. Manual Please refer to the ALiVE Wiki. All the info you need is there. Acknowledgements and Thanks Particular thanks to all those on our support forum who have worked closely with us to identify bugs, provide logs and generally help us improve ALiVE. Your assistance is valuable and your dedication to ALiVE makes it all worth the effort! Have fun! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J0K3R 5 93 Posted June 12, 2021 Having a weird bug, Placed vehicles respawn after the mission has loaded, around the 1min mark. The vehicles are NOT synced to any respawn modules and its disabled in the description.ext If there is anything in the init of the vehicle, for example virtual arsenal. It works for around 1min, then the vehicle respawns and whats in the init doesnt work anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerhart 19 Posted June 15, 2021 The most recent update has bugged interaction with civilians. You can no longer interact with them so you can't get any vital information from them. This is very problematic for missions depending on this interaction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

friznit2 350 Posted August 26, 2021 ALiVEmod.com The next generation dynamic persistent mission addon for ArmA3 Release Build #233 I didn't like how intel was a bit rubbish and it was hard to figure out what the virtual AI was actually doing behind the scenes. So I wrote a spec for a more realistic intel overlay and Spyderblack coded it. Once enabled in the C2ISTAR module, Virtual AI units will report the location, activity and type of enemy units they detect on the map. Friendly commanders will indicate their current objectives and units that KIA will be marked to indicate where active combat is taking place. This should provide a much better idea of what is going on and help players determine where to get involved in the action. Players with the Command Tablet can still see the detailed Operational Overlay for AI Commanders. Release Highlights New Feature: Military Map Intel - displays friendly and hostile activity on the map. DOWNLOAD Please note that as with all updates, if you have an issue loading a mission made with a previous version of ALiVE, delete and replace the modules in that mission. Known Issues & Support Existing bugs are listed on Github here. Feel free to submit bugs (with vanilla repros please) or discuss any issues or ideas on our forum at http://alivemod.com/forum/.

victor1234 4 Posted September 27, 2021 Civilian interaction seems to be working again now, at least for me with the latest version. Fantastic mod! I've been playing it for years and have recently tried to make my own mission. It's probably something very silly, but I've looked up all the reference materials, de-PBOd example missions where ALIVE was used, etc and I still can't figure it out. Essentially, to use most of the ALIVE functions, you need to designate an item in the inventory that enables the menus, it's got a default, but you can change it (I always set it to be a compass, since everyone has one). Since I've been experimenting with my own mission building, I find that whenever I'm killed and I team switch to another team member to continue the mission, I lose all of the ALIVE menus, essentially killing any support, resupply, intel, etc abilities. Even though the other team member has the right item in their inventory, it doesn't work. I can even go over to my old dead body and pick up that exact same item that enabled me to use ALIVE functionality moments before, and it still won't work. I tried playing the mission in MP, in SP, setting it to different items, and just getting killed once ruins the mission essentially, but in the ALIVE Tanoa showcase mission for example, you can respawn or team switch with no problems and keep using ALIVE. What am I missing here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unholy 10 Posted October 28, 2021 Hello friznit2, I have one question: when download the last version of ALiVE (Latest Jenkins Build), I didn't found ALiVE server in the package. In the previous releases a had these files in a dedicated folder @AliveServer: ALiVEPlugIn.dll, ALiVEPlugIn.so, ALiVEPlugIn_x64.dll, authors.txt. AliveServer is no longer needed to run ALiVE on dedicated servers? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS30002 28 Posted February 28, 2022 Hi all, great addon.... I have a problem tho...i like to fly planes and i imagined ALIVE will be a great sublayer of what's happening on the map while i do tasks......but the problem is, as soon as i sit in an airplane everyone disappears? I have it set to 10km spawn, i pasted something in the init (snippet i found on Alive forums) but nothing works. I saw a post that said it's fixed by an official developer on their forums, but i don't think it is...i got the new version and the same thing keeps happening. Anyone have any advice what could be done maybe? I'm totally open to a workaround that just disables despawning and keeps things in flux constantly after the initial spawn (idk if thats possible anyway), so the AI can fight for their little bases and i can support one side from the air. Thanks for any advice. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redarmy 422 Posted April 5, 2022 Is it nomal behaviour for OPCOM to halt units / groups at the blue debug line "before" the objective and stay static? Groups get near objectives but seemingly dont take the extra few hundred meters to actually capture it,they hold indefenitly alot of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redarmy 422 Posted April 9, 2022 I read in notes that the western sahara map was supported in an update,but it seems ALIVE doesnt have any envoirnment tags in static Data. Road blocks do not spawn and i get errors about custom composition when loading the map. Also Alive / Arma3 locks up when loading the map if a MILITARY placement module is placed,civ works ok i guess mil areas are treated as CIV. Im trying to create an Aysemmetrical scenario here and have been struggling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godis_1 63 Posted April 17, 2022 Is the CAS transport player addaction broken? It doesn't appear anymore when entering a CAS transport heli. I can't seem to find any changes to this. Looking at the modules config doesn't reveal any info. EDIT: It was because of HelpMe Mod! When that mod is loaded, it conflicts with ALiVE, remving the "Talk to pilot" action and probably causing other issues, even if the mod is disabled via designated hotkey.

redarmy 422 Posted April 29, 2022 Having a catastrophic issue where Aircraft placed down manually (unsynced to virtualize ai module but setting set to virtualize non synced units), respawning with multiple instances and all on the same position. When testing,i teleported via zues to opfor air base(previously 1 orca helo there) and upon spawning in,no less than 8 orca helos spawned in same position(i placed ONE in editor) and all blew up. Noticed this in my mission first by seeing 4 instances of a shikra when i placed just one in edior. Using vanilla BLU_F and OPF_F . on altis. Any reason for this ? clearly its an issue with them being virtualized multiple times but what causes this? edit removing shikra seems to prevent the issue. However the black wasp fails to ever respawn. another issue. MACC stops working after a short time. i see in the debug both commanders calling for air on targets,but no air ever gets airborn. two atack helos and one jet are on the tarmac in respective airfields with pilots near aircraft ready to go but they never do. Everything is set up correctly from what i can tell and im using vanilla factions Nato and CSAT on Altis. No AI mods whatsoever,no manually placed waypoints or trickery.

flyingsaucerinvasion 3 Posted May 31, 2022 Get almost immediately a script error message saying "_previoustacomstate" is not defined. Don't know if this is related to the fact that very little seems to happen in the battlefield. One or two patrols seem to engage, an A10 takes off now and again, gets immediately shot down, and then pretty much nothing else happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
