Just put some duct tape on it, it'll be ight.

I'm happy for you that you finally get to take your *very hard earned* break now, and I'm in the same boat as everyone else, if you need me to donate to help you out I'd be willing to. Rest up, my friend. 👍

A fear simulation system for the AI would certainly make the AI more realistic... however would there be a chance for that to be a toggable option? I'm asking because I prefer the way the AI are now, with their literal balls of steel whilst firing at the undead and all 👍

I think in one of the updates, Haleks changed the firing mode of the AI so the Blufor survivor problem you were experiencing should be history by now... but I do agree on your points. The problem could just be me, I'm not entirely sure yet.

I've noticed some strange behavior in Ravage lately, mostly regarding the AI and zombies. I am encountering an over-abundance of Renegades almost, just earlier I was playing and found like 3 Renegades all within very close proximity of each other (they weren't part of the same group). Blufor Survivors seem to be extremely rare, I almost never find them nowadays, as opposed to back in 2016 when I could find them every other playthrough. It's almost like Renegades have higher spawn priority than the other AI or something. I also almost never find Car Patrols anymore, especially the Independent Truck Patrols that I used to commonly find/see, they're nowhere to be found. Also, zombies seem to only spawn in cities and towns now, I only find one, two, maybe three, tops, out in the wilderness. I have my AI population multiplier set to 2, and the spawn distances are 400 and 1000. My Zombie count is set to 30 per player, safe distance is 75 meters and the other one is 250 meters. Is anyone else noticing this strange behavior or is it just me? On a different note, thanks again for the update, Haleks! The new and improved gear pool module is one of the things the mod needed the most, and I can't thank you enough for revamping it.

Thanks, I'll go ahead and add the delay to my missions 👍

If you set the "ArmA 3" setting in the Gear Pool module to Equipment Only and have a player or AI have "0 = [this] call rvg_fnc_equip; " in their init field, the game will CTD. I just got it to occur multiple times under the same circumstances.

You're the man, Haleks!

The first pic kind of looks like something from "The Thing" LUL

That all sounds amazing, I'm now extremely hyped to see those gearpool changes 👍

I just discovered a new distance related bug, much like the "Repair/Scavenge Vehicles" one I found a while back. It's related to traders this time around:

The end result of downloading and converting the Ravage Mod Header that @kodabar linked me to:

I'm gonna take a look too myself into adding custom vehicles... I think life is going to get very interesting indeed...

Thank you very much, I'll take a look!

This is going to sound like a seriously dumb question, but where can I find a good quality picture containing the Ravage logo? I was looking to add scenario pictures to all my Ravage missions to add a coat of polish, but I'm not sure where to find a high quality Ravage picture.

Does anyone remember those "I spy" books where you have to find things out of place in the pictures? Well, here's a Ravage version..

@haleks Thanks for your hard work in keeping Ravage up to date, my dude.

I experience the same exact problem whether or not "Allow ArmA 3 content" is set to "Full" or "Limited", I just mentioned that I changed it to limited because I thought it would stop the vanilla ArmA 3 weapons from appearing everywhere, but it didn't do anything.

Well, what if the loot spawn system was just like in Dayz mod, where loot only spawns when players get near a building, then when players go away from the building, say 250 meters, the loot either despawns or is cached....

Also, not sure if anyone has this problem as well, but I keep finding Sting 9mm sub machine guns in residential buildings, like houses and barns. I have ArmA 3 Content set to "Limited" in the Equipment Pool module, but I'm still finding so many Sting 9mm sub machine guns that I could have an entire tent full of Stings in under a hour. It's not just Stings either, I keep finding PDW2000 sub machine guns too (the vanilla MP7 look-a-like). I'm confused because I have those guns listed in my "Military" weapons section in the Equipment Pool module, but they just keep popping up everywhere.

Better yet, what if guns and items spawned directly on the ground, just like in DayZ mod? That would be a dream come true, for me. I've tried loot mods that spawn items at the start of missions, but they reduce performance far too much; it would be sick if an alternate system was used where things spawned directly on the ground, but only if players were near, then when players got far enough, the objects were stored in cached memory or despawned.

Alright, I just tested a boat load of weapons (haven't tested any vehicles yet), and here's the list of weapons that threw up errors for me: [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_SVD","CUP_SVD","Single","CUP_B_762x54_Ball_White_Tracer","CUP_10Rnd_762x54_SVD_M",180: tracer_white.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_SVD_des_EP1","CUP_SVD_des_EP1","Single","CUP_B_762x54_Ball_White_Tracer","CUP_10Rnd_762x54_SVD_M",202: tracer_white.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_Igla","CUP_Igla","CUP_Igla","CUP_M_9K38_Igla_AA","CUP_Igla_M",223: cup_9k38_igla_fly.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_RPG18","CUP_RPG18","CUP_RPG18","CUP_R_RPG18_AT","CUP_RPG18_M",226: cup_pg7vm_fly.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_launch_9K32Strela","CUP_launch_9K32Strela","CUP_launch_9K32Strela","CUP_M_9K32_Strela_2_AA","CUP_Strela_2_M",230: cup_9k38_igla_fly.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_MetisLauncher","CUP_MetisLauncher","CUP_MetisLauncher","CUP_M_9K115_2_AT13_Saxhorn_2_AT","CUP_AT13_M",234: cup_9m113_at5.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_M136","CUP_M136","CUP_M136","CUP_R_M136_AT","CUP_M136_M",239: cup_at4_rocket.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_Javelin","CUP_Javelin","CUP_Javelin","CUP_M_Javelin_AT","CUP_Javelin_M",244: cup_javelin_rocket.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_Stinger","CUP_Stinger","CUP_Stinger","CUP_M_Stinger_AA","CUP_Stinger_M",247: cup_stinger_rocket.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_SMAW","CUP_SMAW","CUP_SMAW","CUP_R_SMAW_HEAA_N","CUP_SMAW_HEAA_M",251: cup_smaw_rocket_inflight.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_M47Launcher_EP1","CUP_M47Launcher_EP1","CUP_M47Launcher_EP1","CUP_M_47_AT_EP1","CUP_Dragon_EP1_M",139: cup_tow.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"CUP_BAF_NLAW_Launcher","CUP_BAF_NLAW_Launcher","CUP_BAF_NLAW_Launcher","CUP_M_NLAW_AT","CUP_NLAW_M",369: nlaw_rocket.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"rhs_weap_rpg26","rhs_weap_rpg26","rhs_weap_rpg26","rhs_rpg26_rocket","rhs_rpg26_mag",258: rpg26_projectile.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"rhs_weap_rshg2","rhs_weap_rshg2","rhs_weap_rshg2","rhs_rshg2_rocket","rhs_rshg2_mag",262: rshg2_projectile.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"Put","Rhs_Mine_Muzzle","Rhs_Mine_Muzzle","rhs_mine_pmn2_ammo","rhs_mine_pmn2_mag",272: rhs_pmn2.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"Put","Rhs_Mine_Muzzle","Rhs_Mine_Muzzle","rhs_mine_msk40p_white_ammo","rhs_mine_msk40p_white_mag",275: rhs_msk40p_white_e.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"Put","Rhs_Mine_Muzzle","Rhs_Mine_Muzzle","rhs_mine_sm320_white_ammo","rhs_mine_sm320_white_mag",276: rhs_sm320_e.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"Put","Rhs_Mine_Muzzle","Rhs_Mine_Muzzle","rhs_mine_tm62m_ammo","rhs_mine_tm62m_mag",297: rhs_tm62m.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"rhs_weap_m72a7","rhs_weap_m72a7","rhs_weap_m72a7","rhs_ammo_m72a7_rocket","rhs_m72a7_mag",302: at4_rocket.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"rhs_weap_M136","rhs_weap_M136","rhs_weap_M136","rhs_ammo_M136_rocket","rhs_m136_mag",306: at4_rocket.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"Put","Rhsusf_MineMuzzle","Rhsusf_MineMuzzle","rhsusf_mine_m19_ammo","rhs_mine_M19_mag",327: rhsusf_m19_e.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] [B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow),"Put","Rhsusf_MineMuzzle","Rhsusf_MineMuzzle","rhsusf_mine_m14_ammo","rhsusf_mine_m14_mag",331: rhsusf_m14_e.p3d,B Alpha 1-1:1 (ArteyFlow)] I want to mention one thing not related to the weapon errors, but rather than the weapons, however; I saw that most of the CUP weapons (assault rifles, primarily) barely drew any of the zombies's attention, the number that showed on the top right was "15" for a good chunk of the CUP weapons I tested (primarily guns like the M4's, M16's, Ak's, Rpk, Pkm, etc), which I'm guessing is 15 meters? Which means that the CUP weapons are basically easy mode, at this point in time. Even a few of the RHS weapons I tested showed "15", like the "Ak-107" I believe. Other than that, and the error list that's above, I didn't notice any other issues.

I've just encountered this error text box whilst playing Ravage: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1726772630. Looks like it has to do with the zombie's new hearing system. I saw on Ravage's Steam workshop page that someone else had the same problem. I'm using weapons from vanilla ArmA 3, CUP, RHS and NiArms. Not sure which mod specifically is conflicting with the zombie's hearing system though, unfortunately.
