By design, most of DCG's addons don't run unless a player is present. So, this feature is sort of a thing already. However, I'll consider implementing a more robust system.

Yes, I'm still actively working on DCG. You can check the progress, here, on the Github repo. I try to keep the task list up to date, so people can get an idea of what's going on. I know this thread has been quiet for a while, but that's because I'm dedicating my time to updating this project.

What can I say? Timing's everything xD Thanks for showing interest. You can check out the progress on the git repo, DCG 4 Project.

back from the dead

Statics aren't editable at the moment. The vehicle depots are part of a separate script, the unit pools have no effect on them. Unit pools determine the classes used for the AI spawned by DCG. Also, I'd stay away from mixing sides. Placing Independent class names in the West pool can lead to some weird behavior.

Currently, you can adjust the occupy addon's Enemy Count Multiplier using CBA settings to change the number of units spawned in each location. For performance reasons, the number of occupied locations is limited to one.

I should have some time to check this out this week. Issue #103

I'm glad you're enjoying DCG I did a quick test and the settings functionality is working. Make sure your description file has the proper extension .ext . You listed it as .txt above. Also, you're still including the "ALL" pool, meaning those units still have a chance to spawn in all maps and missions. Remove that pool or make it map specific if you'd like to only have CUP units on Takistan. Concerning the bases, there currently aren't plans to make the bases map specific, but it may be something that makes it in down the line.

I'll look into this. Yeah, I didn't notice it either Yes CBA settings overwrite everything else, more info here.

On the server use the startup param -serverMod to load DCG instead of -mod.

Namely, version 3.2.0 introduces CBA Settings. This system allows server admins and mission designers to tweak DCG's settings ingame. By far, it is the easiest way to adjust a setting. Visit the wiki for more info on the new settings framework. EDEN Support Version 3.2.0 also introduces EDEN editor support to complement the new settings framework. These tools should alleviate most of the hassle associated with handling unit pools.

Those factions are part of the east, west, independent or civilian side. Factions exist within a side. So you should be able to edit the pbo and change the artillery class just like you changed the crew class.

I understand DCG's documentation and some of the features could be more user-friendly. Fixing this issue is a primary focus of the next release. This is incorrect. DCG was built to be modular, meaning it will function will all types of coop scenarios. For example, if you have a mission that already has a task system, but you'd like to add DCG's patrol component you can do this by disabling the task addon in the userconfig. Also, the setting dcg_main_init, allows server admins to only enable DCG for certain missions or maps. Place mission or map names in the array and DCG will only initialize for those scenarios. I don't understand all of your questions, but I'll answer what I can. 1. Units that spawn in villages, cities, etc are part of the occupy addon. Make sure it's enabled 4. This behavior is intended. Check out the task description 5. Read my note above about using the dcg_main_init setting. Also, have a look at the wiki

Thanks for the feedback This is a known bug. Sometimes the transport takes off after dropping players, sometimes it doesn't. I'm looking into it. You can change it here. At the moment, the rescue task should only spawn with ACE enabled. Using ACE you can move the hostage after restraining them with cable ties.

I'm looking into the fob issue. You should have to search the bodies, so probably a fluke. Regardless, 3.1.0.7 will include a lot of task fixes.
