Occupied Land

[lockjaw-65- 0]

I am working on a map and need the whole Island to have the towns already defended etc. I dont know if anybody has done a template for this (did a quick search but found nothing). What i am wanting is similar to the resistance set up in the warfare maps.

Does anybody know how hard it would be to take everything else from warfare apart from the towns with resistence defence. This could be a template then for other missions etc..

Hey Rick I have a DAC template that adds enemy patrols to all towns, adds armoured patrols across the island, and adds transported troop patrols between all town centers. Each town has (if I remember correctly) 2 patrol units of varying strength. There are a number of groups of transport vehicles that visit each town center, which will then disgorge it's troops, patrol for a number of minutes, then remount the vehicles and move off to the next town center. The armoured patrols randomly patrol the island as though on maneuvers or something.

There might also be a helo or two as well, cannot remember

It's pretty good for layering your own mission over the top, as it's pretty non-repeatable you get a different experience every time. Also, you get good backup activity when things kick off.

Only problem is that it's set up for Southern Sahrani only, but the zones can be copid & pasted & edited & tweaked for the purpose I'm sure.

Let me know if you're interested & I'll post it up.

That sounds very much like what im after and yes I would be very intrested in using it.

Many Thanks

DMarkwick: that is great, so you basically move the triggers/markers around and it should work on other islands?

Okaydokes, here is the link to the mission file. I've literally just linked into the file that is already uploaded, I haven't actually checked if it's the right one yet, but I think it is.

You'll notice that the map displays all the enemy units, so you'll need to disable all that eventually, but it's useful at first for testing stuff out. There's also a couple of disabled friendly zones as well I think, one just as a waypoint zone, you can just delete those whole zones they were only ever there to test something else.

You might notice a couple of units here & there, I think there is a sniper overlooking Paraiso (sp) if you fancy taking pot-shots and seeing the DAC reaction. I recommend using DMHide

I'll try it out myself later on to see if it is indeed the right file.

@Icebreaker - yes you can easily copy all the zones and paste into a new map don't forget to copy all the DAC files across too

Hi, I was also interested in this template but it's got some missing addon errors: Grenadierpack, Dmssmokeeffects and CSM sound

Edit-NM, just deleted them from the mission.

Yeah I was going to mention that

There are a few addons that I have that need pruning from the mission file. Sorry about that, they seem to be hangovers from previous tests, which don't get deleted due to an ArmA bug. Let me know if anyone needs a pruned version.

Did people get what they wanted out of this, or can it be improved?

Hi its been a while I know but I would like a pruned version without the bugs cheers:)

OK, try downloading it again, I pruned out the addons. You might need to have the Map Misc addon to run it without messages (as DAC seems to use it) but it should run.
