  1. Hi everyone. I don't quite understand this error message. I have a loading screen image in my mission root (sangin.jpg), which is properly defined in my description.ext. When launching a dedicated server, and using #missions, when I select the map my mission is on, I get a pop-up error saying "Picture 'sangin.jpg' not found." But I don't get it. It's a lie! It can be found, because it shows in the loading screen just fine! I don't get this error when opening the mission in any other way. If I open it in SP or in the editor, there are no errors. And like I said, even on the dedicated server, the image shows. I think this is for the presentation image on the bottom left of the screen when you select the map and mission in the #missions screen. But I just don't understand why it's saying it can't find it when it clearly can, at least for loading screen purposes it finds it fine. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
  2. U.S. and Afghan Special Forces take a combat role clearing Taliban cells along a trade route, known as Lythium, between the provinces of Badghis and Bala Murghad Afghanistan. As a traditional ALiVE Insurgency mission, the idea here is to replicate a long-term persistent campaign, going out on patrol, talking to the locals, clearing and holding towns, and destroying the enemy resources. For more insight on how to play, please read the how-to-play instructions in the mission briefing area. For a more in-depth analysis of what the bells and whistles of an ALiVE Insurgency entails, here is an excellent breakdown from the ALiVE wiki: http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Insurgency Although solo play is encouraged, the mission should ONLY BE run on a local hosted server. If you want to use a dedicated server, grab the PBO from the link below.

Saving your progress: This mission uses a local saving feature, which is accessed in the esc menu and initiated by the "server save and exit" function. To continue your save, simply act as if you're starting the mission over again and your data will load automatically. To start the mission over, change the PBO name or execute "call ALiVE_fnc_ProfileNameSpaceClear" in the debug menu. This mission should only be played on a local hosted server, even if you're playing alone with AI. If you want to play the mission on a dedicated server, for now, unpack the mission, open the Data module, and change the local saving option to "cloud."

  4. Is anyone familiar with the error message? Google results showed only a few topics on this and mostly from ARMA 2 and also with no real answer. It's strange. I can launch the game and mission with the same mod line not only in the SP Editor but also on my dedicated server. But every time I click on Multiplayer/LAN, I immediately CTD. The BIS error message after the crash says something about INIT_DXGI I have the newest version of CBA installed so I'm not sure what's going on. Like I said, I can play the mission in SP and with TADST. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing the crash? DXGI...that's about my graphics card, right?
  5. Hi everyone. I was just wondering if anyone has any sites they can recommend for music that can be used in published missions. I'm not making anything elaborate, I'm just thinking of using a simple 30 second music intro, but then I realized there may be problems when it comes to legalities. I hear a lot of people in the community use YouTube and cut the sounds through Audacity but I don't know if we're supposed to follow any rules? Or maybe since I'm not charging for my missions and the sounds are free to listen to on YouTube I can use a small sample of someone's else's music without worrying about licensing? Where do you mission makers get your music sources from?
  6. No. They are not configured to BI faction standards (no clue why BI didn’t enforce this since it’s official DLC).
  7. @redarmy I’m not too familiar with MACC myself. But if there’s an odd issue like this and it seems unintended maybe a ticket on our Github with a vanilla repro is a good idea: https://github.com/ALiVEOS/ALiVE.OS/issues
  8. Air craft spawning is a separate dropdown. Pretty sure it’s in the Military Placement Military Objective module. Try turning that to off/no. Though they shouldn’t just be spawning in random places like that. Unless I messed up an index which I’ve been known to do with my fat fingers. 😞 You can thank Tupolov for fixing helo’s spawning in pubs all over the new GM DLC map. 🙂 What map is this?
  9. ALiVE has updated just an FYI. Hopefully this at least fixes all the urgent bugs. Thanks for the reports everyone.
  10. At this stage, indexing is unfortunately still a manual process. Our indexing, which is available as a free tool within our mod, relies on building ID’s and needs to be redone every time the map adds/removes buildings. Is the map complete or complete for now building-wise? Do you have an index handy or are you requesting we do it?
  11. Spyder’s Civilian Interaction has been brought directly into ALiVE. You won’t need to use Spyder Addon’s Civilian Interaction anymore. There was a bug that prevented it from working. I think today we’re releasing a hotfix. Let us know if it still doesn’t work after the update.
  12. 1. That is correct. The map needs to be indexed for custom objectives to work. However, in the next release, this should be fixed and custom objectives and CQB should both work on non-indexed maps. 2. Correct. If it’s not tied to ALiVE, in all but some rare cases, it won’t persist. Manually placed units specifically will not persist and will revert to how they were placed in the editor.
  13. Just a heads up to Spyder Addons users. This hotfix adds a highly requested feature of implementing a fixed version of Spyder’s Civilian Interaction module system directly into ALiVE (yay!). Tupolov has really done quite a fantastic job of making ALiVE feel...well, more alive! That said, the above hotfix is coded to ignore these additions if Spyder Addons loaded in any way. With Spyder Addons loaded, it ignores the fixed civilian Interaction system and reverts back to how it works in Spyder’s mod, meaning insurgency players probably won’t have any way of revealing insurgency HQ’s right now (boo!). We are in the process of testing a new implementation for Spyder Addons users where ALiVE only checks for Spyder Addon’s Civilian Interaction module and not the entire Spyder Addons mod itself. We apologize for any inconvenience. If all goes according to plan we will put out a new hotfix possibly tomorrow or shortly thereafter (no promises but we’ll try to get it out ASAP).
  14. With the release we’re tracking and bouncing back and forth on quite a few issues right now. I passed this along but I’m not sure who’d have to address this (ALiVE team or CUP team). A ticket on our Github could be useful so it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle if you have some time: https://github.com/ALiVEOS/ALiVE.OS/issues
  15. Teleporting isn’t really a reliable testing method. If the APC naturally despawns, then respawns, will this issue occur?
  16. @redarmy I’m not sure. I never really utilized any of the advanced script usages. Someone more experienced with doing this would need to chime in or test it.
  17. @redarmy Not sure on the logistics thing, but for debug, you can debug Virtual AI in game under module options in the ALiVE menu. No need to leave it on full time. For CQB, why do you want it debugged? To test or to make sure you fully cleared an area? If the latter, you can reveal all units temporarily in the ALiVE menu in-game as well.
  18. @redarmy this might be fixed internally. Can you download this PBO from @marceldev89 and replace it with the one in our release build and see if it fixes the issue? http://alivemod.com/forum/4748-blu-opf-vs-ind-objective-status-solved/p1#p26894
  19. I don’t doubt there might be a bug. But I’m having a hard time following it based on how you’re describing it. Can you rephrase it using a lot more detail? I may want a test mission for this but for now, can you just describe the bug in more detail?
  20. @redarmy @spyderblack723 is probably the guy in the know on this, but there are probably other important factors you’re leaving out, such as who’s objective modules are synced to whom, how many groups each size has, etc. The default behavior I believe will also have groups keep at least one group back to occupy held objectives as well (pretty sure). So if they don’t have any other groups left after occupying the ones they have, I’m not sure they’ll make sending them out to take new ones a priority but I’m not 100% sure. Remember, if you cut a map in half and have one side spawn in each side, that doesn’t mean each side will have the same number of groups/objectives even if the modules are identical. Maps are never symmetrical so objective counts are almost certainly different for each side. Easiest way to test this is to reverse the factions in your modules. My best guess is what you’re seeing won’t change or change much (4 vs 1) so I don’t suspect this is is bug. If you want more attack groups, spawn more groups for the side not sending enough, or give them more objectives on the enemy’s side of the map.
  21. Hmm yeah it doesn’t seem to be working. At least not in one of my ops where I have the feature turned on. If you’d like to open a ticket here, I’ll see if anyone wants to get assigned to see what’s going on: https://github.com/ALiVEOS/ALiVE.OS/issues
  22. @redarmy Hey just wanted to give you an update. The vehicles not moving issue apparently can be reproduced without ALiVE at all. Just placing vanilla vehicle groups in the editor and is enough (I don’t know exactly how to repro this myself but we’re reading quite a few people seeing this too). Something within Arma itself is broken, most likely with the 1.92 update. This is a nasty bug. I’d reckon fairly major and potentially game breaking if you use vehicles in ops a lot. Fairly sure @marceldev89 is opening a ticket but I don’t think it could hurt for you to open one until we see his on the tracker. EDIT: Here’s the ticket if you or anyone else wants to subscribe: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T139359
  23. @redarmy Very good repro mission. I see exactly what you're seeing with spawned vehicle groups just sitting there. The issue is clear to me because if you teleport away and revirtualize the group, they immediately begin moving again. I can't say with any certainty that this is a bug and not intended behavior of spawned groups (I’m fairly certain spawned groups are designed to move slower than virtual groups), but I forwarded the mission to the dev side because it feels like a bug to me too. Thanks again. That was an excellent repro mission with very good instructions. That makes my testing life much easier, so thanks for going to the effort.
  24. Any chance the spawned vehicle group is actually moving to the waypoint, but the vehicle spawned the group leader on foot outside the vehicle? As you could imagine, if this did happen, if the group leader was on foot, if it moved at all, it would move extremely slowly. Of course I’ll check later, just thinking out loud. Might be the same bug causing both issues?
