Yeah i mean like normal non-terrorist type setups. Just because I dont do persistent type things yet so I couldnt correctly test one. I will check out the items in your sig.

Traditional missions? If yes, then I wouldn't mind checking them out.

I was playing your mission and wanted some quick action rather than searching civ's so i had it generate tasks for me. But every time it made a task to go here and fight once I landed there the task would complete. Looking at the commander map it would show my virtualized troops are there right away. Am I doing this wrong or is there an issue with ALIVE? Also where can i find more info about that arsenal and unit recruitment deal you have at the bases? I know you mentioned what mod controls that but I tried to use it, dropping the modules on the map dont really do what i expected. So just looking where to find more info on those.

I know I did get an error during my 3 hour drive down to that temple but I clicked past it so fast I dont recall what it was.

Played a good deal last night, I decided to not go to the first village. I saw a bigger area on the south western part of the map. The map was huge and I didnt realize that until driving there. Took me forever to get there driving over mountains. Once I get there I am being open fired on from a huge temple in the middle of town. I jumped out the vehicle and my guys were using the mounted guns on it but ended up all dying. i took about about 6 guys on foot. I called in reinforcements but they didnt really do much they just stood there. Probly should have tried to make them patrol or something. Ended up dying due to one of my charges being too close to me when I set it off. haha. That area was a lot of fun tho.

I have a general question then. How much of this mission is custom stuff? Like when the new map comes out if I wanted to do this sort of mission and I was lucky enough to setup the alive stuff all correctly as you have. What would i not be seeing, since you have put stuff in yourself i assume? Would the troops still walk around and tell me stuff, is that part of the alive setup? I would guess I would have to setup the base and all that, with a box that brings up arsenal. Id have no idea how to make that map thing spawn troops for me tho.

Will do, so the real intel i can get off bodies would have some info with it or something like that rather than these accidental intels. Oh and i noticed there a huge spider looking thing in the sky when i play. Looks like a spider with legs and such. Is that something I did wrong or something? Looks like somebody is playing the claw game and they will pluck me off the ground.

Thanks for the reply, the intel wasnt off bodies as I never shot even once. I just went into a building. Heard this radio that was pretty loud and found intel all over the inside of the house. I picked it up and it brough up my map showing i got intel but it didn't seem to do anything. It just was confusing so I ignored it.

I got to play for a bit yesterday and right out of the base I started in I found town, i questioned some people which helped show me some building to search. I found a building with IED supplied and one with guns all over the place. The way to 'take care of these' would always be to just blow them up right? I did end up blowing up the IED place as it had charges for me to use in the building anyways. Then later I found a house with a radio and lots of 'intel', I think 3 to 5 intel items were found. What does this actually do for me? it showed that i got it on the map but I didnt see it change anything on the map. Say I go into this small town, ask around and get rid of anything they claim is a problem. How do i then try to keep the town Green? Do I just reroute patrols in the area to stay in town or is there a better or more formal way to say "occupy this town" and troops show up to chill inside.

Awesome info, thanks for the post. The server setup so i can save, is that like hosting stuff on a server or is it more like me running a server instance and it then is able to save? Id rather not have to pay monthly to play this mission on my own haha. I'll have to look at the wiki for that commander tablet thing... thats the thing im most worried about at this point. I know ive tried to use it before but couldnt figure out the key to bring it up or something. When I have tried this in the past I know one issue i had was that my mission wasnt great. So if i died i spawned miles away and all alone. So going back out to the fight would take a whle and I was always alone. So if your mission here has a few spawn points and a way to bring npcs with me that will be great. Kinda worried about how i will gear them up with what i need but ill see how it works. Do I call in npcs to join me with the commander tablet too?

I downloaded all the mods and extracted and loaded them up. I had about 2 minutes to check if it worked this morning before leaving for work. It seemed to load just fine. I saw my base and troops going out on patrol. So now I am mostly wondering how saving and loading this game up will go. I saw when I exited I could save and exit as well. But i wouldnt know how to load anything. That and I know this type of game is different where you need to question people and stuff. I need to know how that even works.

Thanks for the detailed long post I will read it again later tonight after the kids are in bed and I have time to download and setup all that. I want to play arma so bad but its always been "play the exile mod online" or "make a mission with alive but most of it doesnt work as i want and spawning sucks, i have no back up in game and nothing is saved" So i hope i can have another option with your mission.

At work right now so I can't get this mission yet. But I would love to play it, I just would like to avoid trying to set it up for hours and it not work. So the download link from dropbox is the mission itself. I would need to search on steam or other areas for all the mods listed in the first post right? Does anybody have all the mods needed, packed up as a collection in the steam workshop? That would be wonderful if so. Ive been trying to make a mission like this, with terrorist type activities but im not really sure how. That and Im not sure if i close the game if my progress will be saved even.

I have asked on reddit and steam for some help with this and it's troubling that this is only a problem I seem to be getting. I have a gtx 970 gpu, 12gb of ram, and some sort of i7 cpu (sorry im at work so I cant check directly) Yesterday I burned through two guides in how to get the best performace out of arma3 and I thought it had worked.But after playing the mission I created with the eden editor for a few minutes I see nothing has changed. It seems that once a vehicle has been blown up or is on fire that I go from about 35fps down to 4 to 5. It will then stay at that number for the rest of my session. I could even exit out of my test play and go back to the editor and still I have the issue. The game is proving to be unplayable besides the first few minutes before the fight starts. What could be going wrong and is this really just an issue I have? The way it seems so tied to fires makes it seem like it should be a problem for everyone.
