ALiVE - Advanced Light Infantry Virtual Environment 1.0 (GA)

[HeroesandvillainsOS 1504]

Yep.

[reaper lok 82]

Thanx for the detailed reply :)

 

I am using Takistan (99 fps in base, 75 flying a chopper across the map and 56 in full combat with multiple vehicles and 20-30 enemy).

 

I may have made a schoolboy error with the active limiter....I drop that bad boy down from the 144 to 12 or 14.  Is this a mistake?  Please explain how this works if possible.

 

The missions that I set up is basically CSAT occupying the Military Facilities (Mil Obj) with Rebels Red (Civ Obj) and CQB of 10% single not pairs.  BLUFOR will be the playable slots for coop play so its only RED fighting BLUE (players).  No additional AI BLUE team in battle anywhere else on the map - just the player and its surrounding AI enemy.

 

Performance is good on the whole but the reinforcements (6 choppers carrying vehicles etc all at once) and the initial spawn of enemy when reaching the 1200m radius brings with it a lot of stutter.

 

Thanx for the tips :)

Here's an Editor's Note from the ALiVE wiki talking about what can happen when you lower the Active Limiter like that:

Making a mission with a lot of Virtual AI then artificially spawn-limiting them is inefficient and may get weird results, such as units spawning in behind players and moving into areas already cleared. Best practice is to reduce the density or number of Virtual Profiles in the Placement Modules to improve performance.

​Is the OPERATION LAND LORD demo mission up to date or has anybody made an up to date revision of the mission?  I've been away from Arma and Alive  for a while and have a little catching up to do.

It hasn't been touched since the day it was released, but you shouldn't have any issues running it.

Aww. :)

I take back everything bad I said about Canada. Your president is handsome and you people are so nice and blackberries are awesome and I can't believe how the election turned out yesterday (I'm not very political but I didn't think he had a chance).

 

No need to tiptoe around the BB issue anymore... I've finally upgraded to an Android device.

 

PS: we have a Prime Minister not a President... .at least not until Trump invades  :ph34r:

Thanx for the update and continued support for this great mod!!

Great work!

 

Quick question about the composition changes. We use ALIVE for our Public Server missions, but with the recent change in the compositions on custom objectives (the drop-down menu was removed), and the new compositions included in ALIVE, I was finding it difficult to prevent ALIVE from spawning in compositions with CSAT, NATO, or AAF flags and vehicles. This is an issue as the RHS Russian faction is usually the primary opponent. Does this new update prevent these inappropriate compositions from being used as random roadblocks, camps, or HQ's?  

[Nichols 243]

Glad to help out with the bug testing. It was fun and something I will continue doing as I move forward!

Im running along list of mods, so this isnt really a Bug post more of an experience question.

 

Is anyone else getting AI groups that have way points on/over/in water?

these would be any units spawned or placed in the editor, once their virtualized and respawned they may have waypoints in the ocean.. 

 

Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

my best fix is to move them with zeus. however, again, just wondering if this something that is also experienced by others?

Hi, Evrik!

There's a recent discussion on this here, though I'm not exactly sure what to make of it: http://alivemod.com/forum/2537-has-anyone-had-success-adding-custom-roadblocks-installations-e

Tupolov would be the guy to ping on this.

The link is mainly about roadblocks though but I think the spirit of the discussion is similar.

[evrik 841]

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Yes it is a known issue and the best way is to just change them via the Zeus module. Also sometimes units are spawned into the water as well.

Heya,

 

i wanted to download alive by steam workshop now (I have seen in this thread it shall be available), but I only find it by the Author called "friznit".

 

Is this the official version?

 

thanks to all investing their time into this mod :)

Friznit is one of the ALiVE devs. :)

[friznit2 350]

It even says it's the official version in the description! :)

[HeroesandvillainsOS 1504]

^^^

Who's this guy and what did you do with Friznit1?

You mean I can trust all those emails that get pushed automatically in my junk-mail-folder :wacko: ?

 

That would mean I really have so many brothers, sisters, friends, uncles and aunts that were in need of money because they were in trouble :D ?

Oh and I won multiple times in lotteries I didn't play or even know, all around the world ^_^ .

 

Nah sorry, I simply searched the forum and the alivemod site and didn't find any exact reference.

I only read in the forum that there was (many moons ago) somebody else uploading it on workshop and at that time it wasn't allowed.

 

I also have to say that I lost focus on arma (gaming general) and am not up to date anymore

 

cheers

Bit of a question- how does ALiVE handle vehicle spawning? Does it only spawn 'groups' or can it spawn individual vehicles? Asking because in case it only spawns groups I have made a bunch of single vehicle groups, but is that actually necessary to have single vehicles (I'm excluding the parked ones, I mean a single tank patroling around, for example) 

[HeroesandvillainsOS 1504]

It's going to spawn groups.

If you want individual vehicles to spawn and the mod you're using doesn't have them, you will have to make them yourself with ORBAT.

If the mission doesn't use military logistics for battle casualty replacements, placing the individual vehicles (manned) and syncing them to the virtual AI module (so they are virtualized) will also work, as long as the military AI commander is in control of that faction.

But again, if ALiVE is in a position to spawn them, it will only spawn the groups.

[jarrad96 1940]

Yeah, I created my own ORBAT faction and it uses both vehicles in 4 vic groups and as individuals. I just wanted to confirm that single vehicle groups would be detected fine- We've ran across a few single BMP-1's in the last few weeks, which is nice, as a full 4 vehicle convoy of tanks we can't deal with.
