Kit loadouts & Enemy Numbers (New Player)

Recommended Posts

I understand this game is no longer officially supported, but it is still available on steam to serve a 'launching' ground to get people interested in the Arma series.  I'm new to these type of games, but Argo seems very interesting, but it seems the community is pretty small so I'm hoping someone can give me a steer on the queries below so I can keep playing (and join the community) otherwise I might as well give up on the game. 

(1) When playing 'Patrol Mode' on a locally hosted server set up via the browser function, is it possible to change weapon load outs (eg to get a scope or smoke grenades)?  

 

I log in as a 'guest' when playing the game (as I read somewhere it is not possible to link to a Bohemia account), and as a result the 'equipment tab' is locked out so I can't change anything or select new weapons.  Given the game is no longer officially supported, is there some sort of file I can download so all weapon loadouts are unlocked when I run a the game on locally hosted server? (If so, any instruction on where to find it, and where to install it would be great)

(2) When playing Patrol Mode, how can you tell how many AI bots/enemies are left to kill/take out at any particular time - and/or even increase or decrease this number when locally hosting a game?

(3) Is it possible to increase the number of spawn tickets?

Quick answer is YES, almost everything can be programmed / scripted in Argo.
But there's no easy way to do it I think.

Good start would be to download my files to create a Custom Combat Patrol (search Google),
then from there you'll need what is called the virtual "ARSENAL", which is a box that players can interact with and modify their loadout.
If you are planning doing it, the ARMA 3's scripting commands will be really useful.

Since killing all enemies isn't in the possible objectives, there is no need to know how many bots there is.
There is no way to know how many enemies are left. The max number of enemies in CP is around 40-50.
The number is determined by the number of players in lobby when the game start. So less players means less enemies.

No it is not.
Again, my Custom Combat Patrol mission's file let you change many parameters, including the number of spawn tickets.


Hope this could help you in your futur patrols.
