Sort of. I'd follow this for a bare bones setup and then add in some CQB: http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Quickstart The Assymetric Commander functions quite a bit differently from the Invasion and Occupation Commanders, and syncing the CQB module and IED module to Assymetric Commanders causes the modules to behave a bit differently.

Does it have impacts on the game itself or is it mainly for the players use? Also, I want to mute the playing character to report everything on radio (like spotting ennemies): there is some mods to do it, but is there one you know is working great with Alive? Regards, Zul You are correct, these are basically just for players to leave notes to each other. For muting, not too sure. ACE I think disables it automatically but then you have to use all of ACE's features. Haleks made the mod called Discipline which I adore. It cuts down on the chatter a lot but I don't think by default it disables it completely (though it might be able to if you mess with the PBO's. Not sure but Haleks probably knows). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it not possible to turn off or turn down the Radio sound in the in-game audio tab? Also create a trigger that covers the entire map (repeatable trigger) that on activation has something like; enableSentences FALSE; or this enableSentences FALSE; just a thought........and I remind you guys that I have no script knowledge, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And a repeatable triggers on the entire map should always be avoided, in SP as in MP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It turns off all voices completely on all sides. Discipline doesn't which is why I recommend it. Need my Allahu Akbar's. :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
friznit2 350 Posted July 10, 2017 Situation, Patrol and Spot Reports have no impact on the AI. They're just to help players coordinate over multiple sessions for long running campaigns (longest we've run was around 8 weeks on a single map). Any of the No AI radio mods will work with ALiVE, though they will of course also silence the ambient AI radio chatter you get from Combat Support. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So any given battle - you really don't know what you're going to be up against... There is a placement percentage slider in each of the modules. Setting this to 50% would mean the module has a 50% chance of being created on each mission start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d3rt13n 5 Posted July 10, 2017 Can someone tell me why when copy pasting all ALiVE modules from the Triple Threat demo content with CTRL+C from Altis and pasting them with CTRL-V on Tanoa, makes the Independent forces allied to NATO? When attacking the indies on Altis all is fine, but on Tanoa, without changing anything in the modules, shooting at IND forces gets you killed by your own.

escforreality 35 Posted July 10, 2017 In your new mission on the Tanoa map have you changed the IND allegiance to be against BluFor? By default when you open a new mission NATO and IND are allies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d3rt13n 5 Posted July 10, 2017 I take it this is not a setting in the ALiVE modules then since the IND and CSAT are set as hostile in the C2ISTAR module where OPF_F,IND_F are set as enemies to NATO in the 'auto task enemy BLUE faction' field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d3rt13n 5 Posted July 10, 2017 Ah ok, I presume it is under Attributes-> General->Misc and set the Allegiance to change the icon from handshake to swords... @spyderblack723 and escforreality ... thank you ! was kindof a headscratcher.

yevgeni89 163 Posted July 11, 2017 I don't know if this has been answered or not, but I was playing with ORBAT and I noticed that whenever I would make a faction and units to place them in tanks like CUP's for example I would get an error and I wouldn't have a gunner nor commander and skins would also revert back to vanilla for vehicles. I also seem to be getting an error where I would add static weapons, like an M2 or a mortar and couldn't select a crew for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottb613 246 Posted July 11, 2017 Hi Folks, RE: ORBAT I've watched some of Spyder's videos on the subject and I've played around with ORBAT a bunch of times... The part that I have been unable to complete successfully - is the actual export... As per the videos - I'm supposed to download some file from github - then paste the contents from ORBAT into it - get some other file - paste the contents into that - then somehow make a .pbo ??? That's the part I could use a little helping hand with if someone can point me in the right direction... Thanks... Regards, Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scottb613 246 Posted July 11, 2017 Hi Hero, Thanks a lot !!! I've been all over the WIKI - never noticed a link to anything ORBAT... Seems straight forward - do you think the download includes a tool to make the ".pbo" or is that something native to Arma - I've never done that before... In the ORBAT Creator, click Generate Config to copy the code to the clipboard. Download the addon template from ALiVE github here and unzip it. In the file browser, open addons/test/autogen.hpp and paste the copied code. Use a pbo tool to pack the test folder into a pbo Rename the pbo to your chosen faction name and place it in the folder @myfaction/addons/myfaction.pbo Move your new @myfaction to the ArmA3 folder and run it like any other mod. Load up Eden and check that your new faction is showing in the list correctly. Regards, Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted July 11, 2017 I personally use this tool: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16369 Open PBO Manager, find the file you want to make into a PBO. Right click on it through PBO Manager. Scroll down to "PBO Manager." Select the option to pack the file into a PBO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yevgeni89 163 Posted July 12, 2017 The vehicle skins I select don't seem to stay and always revert back to default skins and the gunner, commander positions on any mod tanks seem to be broken for me, I'll place crew in, and then save my config and load it, and it'll only spawn the tank or apc with a driver , but no gunner or commander, but the positions are filled?
