Haha no problem at all mate. It was developed for private use however I thought I may a well share the love :)
I will certainly look at moving @DICE to steam however it shouldnt need many changes due to it mostly being sound files. The other mods are already all from the Steam workshop:
- CBA
- ACE
- RHS US (+ ACE Compatibility)
- RHS RU (+ ACE Compatibility)
- CUP Terrains Core
- ANIZAY
Shoot me a PM if you want assistance with any customizations to run on your server.
-
Absolutely you can run it in Singleplayer, though you may want to make some edits to give yourself AI teammates.
-
After releasing my original mission in 2014, I have since been working tirelessly on this scenario privately. There are probably close to 500 hours worth of SQF code in this 1mb mission file.
Your task force stationed in Anizay is assigned dynamic and complex objectives in a 5km x 5km open world. Operators will need to work tightly with their team as the majority of tasks have complex conditions such as hostage executions or explosive timers. The supported player counts are from 1-24 however 5-15 is optimal. Discord, TFR or ACRE are not required, but I very much doubt you will succeed at many objectives without a suitable method of communication.
DOWNLOADS/CREDITS/TUTORIAL
https://sites.google.com/view/dicemod/ includes all the information you will need to get started. I have tried to keep the mod list as short as absolutely possible whilst maintaining an authentic feel.

MISSION DOSSIER
SpoilerOPERATION BLOOD FREEDOM
A group of western sympathizers have been rounded up for persecution by militant forces. Ambush their captors and release at least four of the individuals to maintain your presence in the area.OPERATION BONE FIREWALL
A militant officer will start erasing the hard disk drive of an important laptop when you are detected nearby. Eliminate him before he is successful at clearing the data.OPERATION CRIPPLED SPINE
Escort a player as the engineer class to the damaged logistics vehicle and have them use the toolkit to repair it. The NPC driver should safely return the asset to base, it doesn't need an escort.OPERATION DARK PRINCE
Intercept, snatch and extract a high value target from an armed militant vehicle. The asset can be easily identified by his blindfold and earmuffs. A pair of ziptie handcuffs are essential to escort him.OPERATION DOOR KNOCKER
The fly boys have requested you insert a JTAC/FAC to mark a militant bunker with red smoke for JDAM strike. There will be 2 mikes between target designation and impact for your team to withdraw to a safe distance.OPERATION FALCON HOUR
Secure flight data from a downed MQ-4A Greyhawk drone. Get to the crashsite before the flight recorder is destroyed - remember to check the countdown timer.OPERATION GRANITE CAGE
Militants have trapped a civilian contractor (NPC) in a large construction vehicle. Upon detecting your rescue attempt, the militants will set fire to the construction vehicle. Release the civilian before he burns to death and safely extract him.OPERATION HIDDEN OBELISK
Eliminate a militant sniper pinning down a wounded US Army infantryman. Find and terminate the sniper at his over-watch position before the solider bleeds to death.OPERATION ICARUS FALLEN
Locate and safely extract a downed helicopter pilot. Evidence of the pilot's location should be obtained from crash-site nearby.
OPERATION IRON BASTION
Militants are preparing to launch a rocket barrage against a United Nations forward operations base. Disable the MLRS by eliminating the operator prior to the launch in order to complete this tasking.OPERATION JAGGED STEEL
Locate and destroy a T-72 main battle tank that is being maintained by militant engineers. Destroy it with anti-tank weaponry or an offmap JTAC support request.OPERATION OCEAN PALADIN
Escort the EOD Technician (NPC) from the staging area to an offroad with a naval sea mine in the tray. Once your team is detected a countdown to the detonation will trigger.OPERATION RABBITS FOOT
Secure and clear a reported mine field using the Engineer class to deploy canine and robot assets. The map marker indicates how many mines remain active.OPERATION SENTINEL WOLF
Drive the police offroad from the staging area to the marked map location whilst ensuring the safety of both the Security Advisor and his vehicle. The delivery location should be a building in the same grid as the objective map marker.
OPERATION SHACKLED TIME
Locate, rescue and extract a reporter being held captive. Upon the discovery of your rescue mission, the executioner will start a kill clock.
OPERATION SLIM PICKINGS
Drive the United Nations Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) from the staging area to the crashed C-130 Hercules and use the logistics system to return six cartons of scattered aid supplies to the truck. Your tasking will be considered a failure if the HEMTT is destroyed. Supplies are found nearby the crashsite and in nearby buildings.OPERATION SWAMP ANGEL
Eliminate a militant warlord before he escapes. The target will run to a parked Mi-8 helicopter from a nearby building when you approach the target location. Eliminate him directly or destroy the chopper after he is onboard.

Kush, thanks to the latest stable patch and the amazing loss in performance, we can no longer reasonably play this mission on a listen serverdo you know any dedi servers that are running this mission?
I understand the unfortunate position you are in, however there does not seem to be any dedicated DICE servers available for the general public. The mission was always designed for approximately 10 to 20 players from the same clan who would usually operate within a dedicated team server. My clan hosts a DICE server instance, but your ping to Australia would likely make it a hassle for you.
Alternatively you could possibly try to decrease the numbers of enemies, civilians etc in the init.sqf or alter the caching distance in the parameters.
EDIT: In the next version, I will include a 'Population Density' parameter so that you can scale the number of units in the world to suit your player count and server strength.

I have an updated mission file with fixed key-bindings and rallypoint deployment. I will upload it in a couple of hours.Mission file updated with the above fixes: https://sites.google.com/site/arma3dice/ You don't need a new @DICE mod.

is there a version of this that uses the default stuff in the gameSorry, this mod is aimed at realism enthusiasts. Too much of the mission is dependent on external content.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSthanks kush ive been waiting for this
I notice CAF_AG is gone from the modlist however, is this intentional?
Insurgent uniforms are now randomly sourced from a mixture of vanilla and RHS content.

Modlist finalised: https://sites.google.com/site/arma3dice/
@DICE folder and collection will be updated on Six over the next few days when I get time. In the meantime you can manually download the @DICE addon and manually launch the correct mods if you are particularly keen.

Yeah some fairly large updates are in the works. Hold off downloading anything until I post updates. It shouldn't be too far off.
-
Good Question! I would do it like this so it saves their loadout whenever they close the interface. This is not tested ingame.
waitUntil { isnull ( uinamespace getvariable "RSCDisplayArsenal" ) }; arsenalLoadout = [player] call getLoadout; player addEventHandler ["Respawn", {[player,arsenalLoadout] spawn setLoadout; }];You can use aerosons excellent loadout scripts here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?148577-GET-SET-Loadout-%28saves-and-loads-pretty-much-everything%29
-
The agm says it blacklisted so would I just need to add the PBO into your DICE folder or just make my own @ with it in it?You can do either, however you need to remove the blacklist entry under clients\functions\fn_addonChecker.sqf
-
Probably very few, you would need to do the following:
- Delete any CSE medical modules from the map editor
- Change medical loadouts (init.sqf) to use AGM medical gear
-
Thank you both for your replies, however I have since rewritten my scenario with entirely stock ArmA 3 content (ie. Requiring no addons)
Upon reading your stance on community mission scripts, I noticed some examples of contest submissions that blatently list community scripts as part of their entry:

Does that mean these entries will likely be disqualified?

If the marker is circular, you can simply check the distance from each player to the center.
_markerRadius = 500; while { sleep 1; (player distance (markerPos "MYMARKERNAME")) > _markerRadius } do { hint "CURRENTLY OUT OF BOUNDS"; sleep 1; }; -
Why do you even need the world to show in the main menu?
-world=altis or -world=stratis will load those maps on startup.
-
Good question!
There is probably a more reliable method of detecting the arsenal specifically, however you could possibly just check to see if a dialog is open.
["Open",true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal; waitUntil{!dialog}; hint "arsenal closed" -

Thanks for the feedback! I have been assessing the various conversion tasks and it is possible that a 'lite' version will be available in the future. Stay tuned.Hey Kushluk, I saw your other thread about Addons and MANW stuff, and honestly a vanilla version whould be really interesting and way more accessible. I played DICE a lot when it first came out but all my friends dropped on it at some point because of the mod updates and sizes. I understand the @DICE content is needed, but by putting some of the things in the @DICE folder and making it one package to play could make it way more popular. Something like a "Light" version without the big addons if you have the time. By putting it on 2035's Altis you'll get rid of A3MP and the Aggressors for example, and rest of the mods barely pass half a gigabyte. Please consider lowering the download size not just because of MANW but publicity too.
Bisign and Key files are only introduced after the PlayWithSix @DICE content addon is updated. Please wait 24 hours or so.i load the new addon from armaholic and mediafire.still missing the .bikeys and .bisign keys. -
Is this the correct forum location for my query? With the deadline fast approaching I was hoping for a reply within a month of posting.
