Also, there may have been a small glitch at the beginning. When I first spawned there were 3 or 4 military-type survivors in visual range. They were not aggro and did not move. I thought they may have been potential teammates (I played SP and spawned alone), but I have no option to do anything with them (except loot them when bandits shot them). The menu did not appear until I looted a handgun and got the "switch between weapons" menu item.

And this part is working as intended?

Not sure what that was... was it a one off or does it happen repetitively. Hasn't happened for me.

Please also report which mission it is. Ie altis sw so I know which one to try.

Technically I did, in a way ;) : "...for Tanoa. I started on the NW island, got the first dinghy, and drove it straight to the "You won!" marker to the SE...". So Tanoa SE.

 

It happens repeatedly. Start the mission. There will be a Mr "Helicopter Pilot" visible on the beach on your left side (to the west). You run up to him and he doesn't shoot at you, so I presume he is a friendly, a potential recruit maybe. But I roll and roll my mousewheel up and down, yet no menu pops up, and I do not see any other way to enlist him. There is another one like this unresponsive friendly on the pier by the village to the east, and 2 more inside. (by the time I find a handgun, so an option to switch becomes available and menu becomes operational, it is too late, all of them have been shot by bandits).

 

This happens every time I start this Tanoa SE mission. (RHS AFRF+USAF)

 

Also, after the playthrough, the debriefing told me that I had shot 3 friendly units. At first I was trying to get close to the NPCs I saw in case they weren't enemies, but the reloading got old fast, and I started presuming everyone was hostile. Is there a way to figure out whether one is a bandit or a non-aggro survivor, besides getting shot at? I think I remember some of them had blufor/nato weapons while others had csat/redfor, but iirc I saw more than 3 M4s on corpses.

 

Edit: Tanoa SE mission in SP

[cosmic10r 2331]

U playing in SP or hosting a local lan?

SP, with the .pbo in Missions\.

[neofit 65]

It happens on Altis SW as well, I see a Survivor to my right on the beach, not aggro, cannot interact. With or without RHS (just in case).

 

Edit: also, is it me or we cannot remove sepia colors on Altis? I can't find the radio menu option.

[cosmic10r 2331]

That's the issue. It's seeing the playable units and spawning them in. They don't show up if you play in mp and host your own session.

I will update the sp version this week and add the radio menu back in for the sepia... but only for sp version

To note as well: when playing in SP with the mp version the sites may not show up as they require parameter definitions from mp version

Most of those issues should go away if you use the mission hosted locally.

Maybe, but playing alone a mission where I cannot pause nor reload is a huge waste of time, I am not playing those. And apparently they will be all-sepia all the time too, so lose-lose. Now if those guys were not supposed to be teammates in SP it doesn't matter. But then if some sites don't show up then it does matter, meh :).

I'll update the sp version. If you are playing on sp then you can recruit as many guys as you want and sites will work and you can save...

Honestly it's why I did two versions so that the sp stuff can work for sp gamers of which I was one up until about a year ago...

I've played literally thousands of hours of Domination and Evolution since Arma 1. But smaller coop scenarios with one goal (like the Apex pseudo-campaign) are not really JIP affairs, and I am not blessed with friends or co-workers who want and can play whenever I do. Anyway, since you only updated the scenarios in the first link, the [coop] ones, I presumed that they were also SP-capable. Wishful thinking I guess.

Hi,

Would it be feasible to drop a few bicycles in cities and villages? They helped a lot in DayZ Epoch and Origins.

Rationale:
It is not very interesting to jog all over the place. One of the draws of the 'survive and loot' scenarios is to make yourself a car. But in Tanoa the islands are too small to run back and forth to repair a vehicle, only to leave it behind by the next boat. A bicycle, beside the extra immersion you get by finding something that is supposed to be in every backyard, will provide a temporary means of locomotion, slow and unprotected, yet better than jogging.

It's only a 3 MB download too. No idea if it can be made optional though.

The bicycle is a great idea......however the bike from that particular mod could use a service.

This has less bugs.  :P

Great work on that mission ! Pretty intense !

 

I don't know if this is intended : i tried this mission for 20 minutes at most but when i die at the beggining, when i have no map yet, i'm respawning a few seconds later WITH a map, which makes immediatly things easier for the team...After this, every time i die, i still have a map (even if i'm respawning whith shitty weapons like the alarm pistol, which doesn't seeems to be able to kill anyone even at 2 meters !)

 

Just to let you know in case it would be a bug...

 

Thanks !

Very enjoyable, creepy as fuck when the sun goes down :D

For the respawn, what about using a tent ? we only found a few, so place a tent down becomes a respawn point, no repacking so you have to find more for another respawn,

:lol:  glad you enjoyed it!!

 

I just found respawn tent backpacks... basically completely fills the need... even better there are gameplay consequences for using them such as when they are deployed  you lose the backpack... but you can reassemble and disassemble the tent to move it around. will look at adding it to the map or loot list!

[Boyarus 6]

Thank you for very good mission! But too many items for 3 players - too many good guns and food.

Maybe you reworked this is mission for 2-3 players? Please!

 

P.S. A small problem with the inventory when you pick up or throw items - not infrequently, for long periods of time hanging on their seats, but if I close the inventory and wait for 10 seconds and everything is fine, the items would have been displaced.

How are you finding the items that are too much... do you mean there are too many items in the loot crates?

 

I'm not sure what the PS part means.... what do you mean hanging on their seats?  :) or the items would have been displaced...

Happy to make some adjustments for you.. just not sure what it means... i realize its likely a language thing so im sure we can figure it out!!!

 

Thanks for the feedback and we are all really pleased the mission is enjoyable  :jump_clap:

We played for the 5th time and the experience that we received showed that all the cool weapons that we found only for a short time increases the possibility of the player, due to the fact that the ammo for big guns is simply not to find. But, I would like a little less big guns such as light machine guns - which the raiders and the renegades are not so rare.

[SvA260 0]

sir you can change respawn AI time !! because we try to capture city after clear the area,, but this AI keep respawn front us after 15-20 minutes

to make this fun we need more time to loot all building + and we can't do that if this AI keep respawning front us from no where 

 

i hope you have idea to change that 

[Boyarus 6]

I play with friends 15y time - we can't stop! Very interesting to play! Overall, liked it very much, but would like a little less machine guns and marksman rifles, but more pistols and submachine guns? As well as increase the radius of spawn of units AI, as we regularly encounter a situation where an enemy gang will spawn literally 50 metres in front of the nose. To reduce the number of opponents in the cities because the scale of the massacre and the number of people beyond the edge of the Post-Apocalypse, and recalls the carnage of the Warhammer 40000  :lol: There is also a sentence about the weather - it somehow possible to change slightly? The breaks between the rain to increase on 20 minutes, but more gloomy sky with rain clouds, lightnings and strong wind with big waves on water. I would also like to clearly distinguish between friendly and hostile people - civilians without military equipment, without masks and so on, more civilian equipment, and the raiders - more militarized. Thanks!

P.S. You can integrate in your mission optional module - exploding heads from this is addon head-gore-mod and splatering blood form blood lust mod? As well as the module of radio - ACRE2 and Task Force Radio. Need to put the module on the map.

Hello everyone. I'm brand new to the forums. I have been reading and following here for a long time but have never posted. I have been playing "Ravage" in various forms for about a year now. I recently used "The Escape" mission from Tanoa based on the Ravage framework and made a video game movie documenting the process. I wanted to share it with Haleks and anyone who is interested in it.

 

I'm new to gaming videos, have only been doing this since December of last year. This is my first full length gaming film. I really hope you guys like it. I gave Haleks full credit for the mod in the description, as well as the guys who did "the Escape" mission.

 

One bug we encountered, we did not all see the same loot when looking inside cars or containers.

[Donnie_Plays 435]

The mission was great. Is there a similar multiplayer one for Esseker? I saw the one where you can play with two people. I'm looking for something that has at least 4-6 MP compatible.

Hello.  I am also new to the forums here.  

 

I saw the video about this on youtube then downloaded all mission PBOs, SP and MP.  With the dependency mods/ravage, etc I was able to get the MP maps I tried out to work just fine - I think it was SE or NE Altis MP, and Tanoa MP.  With the same mods loaded, I can't get the SP mission to work.  I put it into the missions folder, it shows up in the launcher, but when I run it it looks like it's going to load right up to the end then hangs at the loading in screen with both the top green bar and the little green bar all the way to the right (as if fully loaded in).,

 

Any ideas?  I have the latest Arma 3 version, APEX as well.  So maybe SP mission is broken for the moment?

 

Thanks,

hmm, OK SP *does* work for me, I guess I just didn't wait long enough.  It took MUCH MUCH longer for the SP to load than what I had observed for the MP mission load times so I just didn't give it a chance to finish.  

 

Case solve, and so far it's a lot of fun - except the AI barely follows orders. :)
