Mod version : 0.1.90 (2022.05.26) Hello and welcome to the Ravage Mod Thread! Ravage is a survival mod focused on immersive and dynamic gameplay. Players are to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, where bandits, hunger and the infected will be constant threats. About "Ravage" Ravage is a comprehensive survival modification, inspired by various games such as the Stalker series or the Dayz mod, as well as many novels like The White Plague by Frank Herbert or Ravage by Barjavel. The Ravage mod has been in development since 2013 and is still an ongoing project. It includes demo missions and several editor tools allowing you to create all sorts of scenarios in a matter of minutes. Ravage is designed to be easy to use, performance-friendly and is compatible with many addons. Features SP & MP compatible : Ravage comes with a set of easy-to-use modules, allowing you to create your own survival experience. All modules are designed to work in every environment : single player, locally hosted or dedicated servers. Survival mechanics : Hunger and thirst system connected to Arma 3 fatigue simulation : The more gear you carry running around, the hungrier & thirstier you will be. Eating and drinking will restore a small amount of health (with a bonus near Fireplaces), your health will decrease at low hunger & thirst levels. Zombies : Ravage includes a dynamic zombie spawn system. As the sun goes down, more infected will be roaming the land. Beware! Some zombies are extremely fast and will outrun you if you don't manage your fatigue. (Includes animations from Teacup's pack, Breaking Point and custom skins by Bad Benson.) Bandits & survivors : Survivors are despaired and don't hesitate to kill to obtain whatever they can scavenge. You will stumble upon clans of bandits fighting each other, searching towns for loot or hunting you down. Not all survivors are hostile though; some of them are willing to join you. Quality OST : Including soundtracks from the STALKER games with permission from GSC Game World, as well as a selection of Arma 3 tracks. WIP. And many more : Accelerated time factor. New items (usable by double-clicking them in your inventory). Realistic vehicle repairs. Dynamic weather. Ability to sleep (requires camping items). Radiations, gasmasks (includes breathing sounds function) and Geiger counter. Loot and Dynamic Furnitures systems. Wrecks and derelict vehicles spawning on roads. Character persistency in Multiplayer. Compatible with many addons (details below). How to play? Just launch one of the scenarios listed under "Scenarios/Ravage Mod"; everything you need to know will be explained along your journey. Make sure tutorial hints are enabled in your settings! Kodabar kindly made a video showcasing the demo mission, with instructions on mod installation : If you play a Multiplayer mission wich has character persistency enabled, your equipment, survival status and position will be saved and restored next time you join the same server. All your saved characters can be previewed and/or deleted from the MP save manager (scenarios>Ravage). Mission Making Several modules are available under modules >> "Ravage" in Editor mode. Amongst other things, these allow you to : spawn hostile and friendly ambient AI. spawn zombies. enable the dynamic weather function. cover the map with wrecks and damaged vehicles. enable the loot system and spawn ambient furnitures inside buildings. enable the survival and radiation systems. enable character persistency in Multiplayer. Each module controls one particular aspect of Ravage features and can be used independently. You will usually need only one module of each type, except for the zombie hordes module. Creating a mission for Ravage, be it a singleplayer or multiplayer scenario, requires close to zero scripting knowledge : the modules will detect what kind of environment they are working in (SP, locally hosted or dedicated server) and adapt accordingly. Documentation More informations are available on the Ravage Wiki. It provides valuable informations on survival mechanics or mission-making using the Ravage modules. @MuRaZorWitchKING also compiled a usefull guide on Steam. Make sure to have a read there first if you have any doubt or question! Ravage on Youtube Thanks to Gunter Severloh, the Ravage Mod has its own Youtube Channel! Most, if not all, the videos related to Ravage will be compiled there; if you want to see just how modular Ravage can be, how people play it, or just looking for tutorials, it's definitely the place to go. Make sure to subscribe if you want to stay tuned with the latest additions to the mod! Supported Addons This mod requires CBA_A3! Ravage is designed to be compatible with many addons in order to bring in more variety : Recommended Mods Besides the supported addons, the modding community has been producing many mods for any taste. Here's a list of selected mods that will enhance your ingame experience with Ravage : Performances Tips If you are going to play Singleplayer, consider launching Steam in OFFLINE mode. Always set the Arma3 Launcher to close itself after clicking "play". Be aware that the new Water Reflections can cost up to 10 frames per second, you can turn this feature off from the video options.

Dynamic Animal/Game Spawn Script This script will continuously spawn animals that can be hunted (and butchered with the ravage mod and the mods "Survival systems" module active) in proximity of the player. Showcase Video: (This is just showing the basic functions with speed up despawn times and reduced spawn/despawn distances FYI) Functions of the script: - spawn loop for animals - random number and type of animals - can be butchered (using the ravage mod and a knife) - despawn once player moves away - customizable code How to create, use and Install the script: Step 1 - init.sqf 1. Open notepad. 2. Copy this code -------> [] execVM "animalspawner.sqf"; 3. Paste the code into your notepad doc. 4. Save the notepad document with this name -----> init.sqf 5. Move the init.sqf to your mission folder. =================================== Note - if you already have an init.sqf then just add the code from 2 to it. Step 2 - "animalspawner.sqf" 1. Open notepad. 2. Copy this code ------> from the spoiler below 3. Paste the code below into your notepad doc. 4. Save the notepad document with this name ------> animalspawner.sqf 5. Move the animalspawner.sqf to your mission folder. ========================================= animalspawner.sqf code: Script Dependencies: No dependencies. However, the Ravage mod and the mods "Survival systems" module is required to butcher the animals and process their meat. You can find all about the Ravage mod here: LINK Setting up the Script in the editor: 1. Find the Ravage section in your Editors "Systems" tab. 2. Place the module "Survival systems" Note: you need a "Gutting Knife" (from the Ravage mod) to butcher the animals 5. Place your player and start your mission. Using the script without Ravage mod: - the script runs without the Ravage mod active, no changes needed Credit: the basic template for the spawner came from a fellow ravager, however I can not trace back the specific post anymore. so shout out to all the friendly scripters from the ravage comunity for all their input;)!

Would love some help figuring out how to make groups retreat back to base when needed. Such as a groups ammo running low, or when a vehicle's fuel/ammo is dwindling. Link some relevant tutorials, script commands/variables etc. This part is probably irrelevant, but to go in depth of what i wishto achieve... I want to make groups I can switch to, but if I havent switched to a group in awhile they will go back to base to replenish. Hoping to have these groups roam chernarus redux in a ravage mod scenario.

S I R E N S is a single player survival mission influenced by Silent Hill, and powered by the Ravage mod. This short mission serves as a prelude to future episodes. Altis has been laid to waste....a strange malevolant force has taken over it's towns and villages. The distant wail of the Siren brings out the dead, shrouding everything in a creeping fog.... Only evil remains. Your main objective is to locate and destroy the source of the Siren. Your secondary objective is to live long enough to perform the main objective! This scenario is probably not without it's flaws, poor mission design and maladroit implementation, but like everything I create for Arma it's made with big love. But if you like sneaking around a village trying to avoid some badass Boss Zeds then this could be for you. Speaking of Boss Zeds, meet the guys... Credits: Haleks for the cool wandering Boss Zed code and generally being awesome. Kodabar and Tourist for kindly play testing. Download: Steam

This will be the intial release. Its sat on my harddrive long enough. This retexture is designed for post apocalyptic game play and was designed specifically for the Ravage mod. They could work for a few things depending on your needs but do not necessarily fit a full Milsim scenario. The vanilla guns look out of place as a common firearm in the post apocalyptic setting and I started with just an idea of how to get them looking more worn and rusted. Keep in mind I own guns and I realize that in some cases the rust displayed could render a real firearm inoperable so please suspend belief and enjoy the textures for how they were intended. Also please realize I am not an artist, a texture artist, or artsy at all so I am working from the bottom here. (LOL) The real goal was to allow the vanilla guns to become the rare or military quality guns and the Rusted ones to be the default that bandits and others would spawn with. The vanilla guns seem out of place and this would provide some value to the vanilla gun textures and hopefully make it so that when you found one, you would get a great loot moment and dump the rusted gun for the sweet brand new one... I had a few moments where it felt odd to be working on crappy stuff people would want to throw away but I digress... Whether I accomplished that is arguable as some of the early textures were fairly basic and some like EO's favorite Kir look good while others look a tad homogenous and washed out. Since I have come back, some of the textures have improved and I think the latest batch of patchwork guns like the Mar 10 are quite decent. I have included all of the early patchwork tests in an effort to round out the package a bit and provide as much variation as possible for the gear arrays from Ravage. There are about 45-50 guns in the package (I have since added a bunch more patchwork as pictured in the Ravage thread that are not included in initial release.) Hopefully Armaholic will host them and from there we may see a steam release but I make no promises on when that may be... NOTE, There is no key right now. I may add them if needed but I am assuming that most people are playing private cooperative games in which they would not be needing keys. Change my mind. lol 😉 Edit- v0.2 has a key and is signed. Let me know if it doesn't work right. Thanks EO! There will temporarily be a doubling up of about 6 rusty guns until those are removed from Ravage. Haleks will remove those in the next update and this will be the only PBO for the rusted weapons There is some discussion on how to add these to the gear pool arraysby a script or module but at this point the best way is through the gear pool arrays in the ravage module. Edit-This is now the updated situation. Classname list will be updated to remove Ravage "exclusives" and RR only classes. Ravage will natively support the 8 Ravage weapons and RR guns can be pushed into the arrays via the gear pool. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Now v0.2/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// v1.4/ Released as Rusty Retexture v0.2 (07/13/19), Removed 8 guns that will remain in Ravage Reset to/ REmoved Ravage weapons[] = {"Rusty_LMG_Zafir_F","rusty_MMG_02_black_F","Rusty_MMG_01_tan_F","Rusty_srifle_EBR_F", v0.2/ "Rusty_DMR_05_base_F","Rusty_srifle_DMR_04_F","Rusty_srifle_DMR_03_F","Rusty_srifle_DMR_02_F"}; This version contains all current projects including latest PW guns Total count in this release is 46 now due to 8 removed to stay in Ravage and addition of patchwork Variants. 54 combined between both mods. 38 rifles,1 Launcher, 7 pistols in RR = 46 Total. 8 Rifles in Ravage - for a combined total of 54 ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// RR v0.1////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// was v1.3//// Released As Rusty Retexture (07/12/19), This was first public release and it also contained 8 guns that will remain in Ravage.

Welcome to Vandeanson’s Apocalypse All info is kept up to date below: Workshop Vandeanson's Apocalypse DISCORD

FRITH FACTIONS Adds 3 Infantry factions using assets from Frith's Ruin and Ravage. Frith Blue: 10 units. 4 groups (Fire team, Zone Fire Team, Sniper team, Sentry) Frith Red: 10 units. 4 groups (Fire team, Zone Fire Team, Sniper team, Sentry) Frith Looters: 8 units. 3 groups (Looter Gang, Hunters, Criminals) All factions Zeus compatible. Credits: Lordfrith for the work of art that is Frith's Ruin. Haleks for the mighty Ravage. STEAM WORKSHOP.

Warlords Survival is a SP, COOP mission set in the Scottish Highlands. Mixing survival elements from Ravage with Sector Control objectives from Warlords. RFG Survivors (BLUFOR) and Moss Troopers (OPFOR) are the contesting factions. Playing as the Survivors, the main objective is to seize the Moss Troopers Stronghold. Captured sectors periodically generate Command Points (CP) for players of the controlling faction. Request Menu: Command Points can used to airdrop additional Survivors, Vehicles and Survival Crates. Command Points can be used to unlock strategic advantages. Respawn will return players to the Survivor Stronghold (BLUFOR Base). Mission Parameters to customise the experience. Fast Travel between seized sectors is enabled by default. (Can be disabled in Mission Parameters} Players hunger and thirst has to be managed, loot the land for essential supplies. If you amass enough Command Points, airdrop a Survival Crate! Be cautious, shambling Walkers roam the Highlands. Be extra cautious, the bodies of the dead will return to life. For single-players, the mission can be played solo by disabling AI in the server lobby. Alternatively, AI can be individually selected to join the single-player. AI units selected this way cannot be commanded, they will participate on their own, these AI units will also respawn at the Survivor base if killed then make their way back to the battleground. Mod requirements are listed on the Workshop. Known Issues: Feedback is welcome. (Please note, mission has only been tested in Single Player over LAN.)

(WIP) Weapon Attachment Trader Script for Ravage Fellow Ravagers, in case you want to be able to buy weapon attachments such as scopes, silencers, flashlight or laser pointers in your Ravage mission, in addition to the original Ravage traders, look no further;) Functions of the script - Spawns a trader at a marker position (multiple markers are possible if you want the trader to move around) - Matching attachments for weapons as defined per array - the first item the trader sells matches the players current weapon (if carrying any) - uses rvg_money as currency - checks if you have enough money and enough space in your inventory before you are able to buy an item - the base price per item is set at 90 with some randomization (per item sold) each time the script is triggered - currently the items sold refresh after you select "Back" in the scroll menu. Each time you press back you get to call for new items to be offered. - after successfully buying an item, the position will be removed from the scroll menue How to create, use and Install the script: Step 1 - init.sqf 1. Open notepad. 2. Copy this code -------> [] execVM "TraderspawnAtt.sqf"; 3. Paste the code into your notepad doc. 4. Save the notepad document with this name -----> init.sqf 5. Move the init.sqf to your mission folder. =================================== Note - if you already have an init.sqf then just add the code from 2 to it. init.sqf: Step 2 - Back.sqf 1. Open notepad. 2. Copy this code ------> from the spoiler below 3. Paste the code into your notepad doc. 4. Save the notepad document with this name ------> Back.sqf 5. Move the Back.sqf to your mission folder. ========================================= Back.sqf : Step 3 - TraderspawnAtt.sqf 1. Open notepad. 2. Copy this code ------> from the spoiler below 3. Paste the code into your notepad doc. 4. Save the notepad document with this name ------> TraderspawnAtt.sqf 5. Move the TraderspawnAtt.sqf to your mission folder. ========================================= TraderspawnAtt.sqf OR: add custom items: If you want to define the attachments that may be sold by yourself, copy the below code into TraderspawnAtt.sqf instead of the above and add your attachment classnames in the array AttachementArray =["classname1","classname2"]; Script Dependencies: - Ravage mod is required to run this script - CBA (required by Ravage) Using the script without Ravage mod: If you want to use this without the Ravage and CBA mod, you would replace the currency ("rvg_money") with whatever classname of an item that you use as currency. Setting up the Script in the editor: 1. Start your mission via editor and place markers named: mrkrTR_1 2. To name a marker, add the above name into the Variable Names field like this: mrkrTR_1 Place your player and start your mission. Personalize the script - (additional markers) The trader will keep respawning at one location, if only one marker is placed. 1. To place more markers and achieve that the trader is "moving around", just add additional marker names under _traderspawn = [.....]. in the script. 2. The last marker needs to end without comma "mrkrTR_5"];. Leaving a comma at the end of the array "mrkrTR_5,"]; would not work. 3. Place the new markers on the map. Adding items The script selects Weapon Attachments based on randomly selected weapons from WeaponArray =[...]; Add remove weapons there to ensure attachments that match your weapons will spawn. To Dos: - find a way to sell back Weapon Attachments (to a lower price) - general code/script optimization and simplification - i might add some delay before the item list can be refreshed with "Back". - gather your input and change stuffs to make it better;) - MP not tested, happy to receive input on how to make this MP friendly Other stuff that is in the pipeline @ Vandeansons script factory: - Different Tier of traders connected to a reputation system (would be a separate script) - Vehicle trader (Planes, Helis, Cars,...) - currency exchange to allow for two different money systems (e.g. trader ravage currency versus the currency from HG Simple Shops) - Adaptation of the EDN_Fortification Base building mod to include it into your Ravage mission (spawn in collectible Blueprints, spawn in building materials, customize and add own blueprints) - Dynamic and infinite ongoing task generator connected to reward system (e.g. Money, equipment...) - tasks are either automatically assigned one after the other upon completion or document folders are spawned into in buildings around the player that, after collecting it, will assign a new task =================================== Changelog v.0.1 2018.08.22 - release of working version

Hello, I create this topic to inform you that a new persistent mission for dedicated server using the ravage mode is now available!!! The scenario is a team versus team on the map Ruha. I will describe step by step the goal of the mission. Mission File : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1EkEUWnESTgwZdBKbatfm1xI8vYtjCxhk After 68h of testing on dedicated server here the performance result : So its highly optimised, all the main features are spawned, simulation of AI, static object, weaponholder.... are perfectly managed. Solid 50 server fps/Low bandwith usage with 220 AI Primary objective and relating information Quick description : -Each team got a protected main base (off map) and a contested outpost (center of the map). The main goal is to evolve its 2 bases by bringing the cargo box that can be found on random crash sites. The player must find a truck to be able to load the crate then bring them in a predefined area (at base). Every 6 crate there is an upgrade (fortification, AI guard...). Note, this cargo box can be also used to stock loot. So the main objective is to survive, secure and upgrade the base, then raid the enemy base to steal the cargo box and equipement. Every player will be informed if any hostiles forces (player or AI) are approaching the base. Additional information about the main base : The main base (out of map) is protected except that it is not 100% protected, the enemy side got 5 minute to go trough a 800m radius then come back out of this radius, if not they are killed instantly. So if the main base is upgraded its impossible to raid it. The main base is also the respawn area, there is a map where the player can choose an insertion point, the insertion point are refresh at every server restart. Additional information about the contested outpost : The outpost didn't benefit from any special protection, so the player must hurry up to upgrade and defend this place. Take note that the outpost are closer from everything (loot, crashsite, point of interest...). The 2 ennemy outpost are close to each other to facilitate encounters between players and thus create hot zones. Secondary Stuff Secondary Camp : There is more than 10 static secondary camp on the map, they are hidden and the player must find them, this camp are identifiable cause they got the same set up, an abandoned house, 2 trailer and a white CUP flag. This little place are usefull to hide and secure loot, if any player is able to occupy a secondary camp for more than 1 hour (that also work with a friendly AI), a small team of friendly AI survivor will come to guard the area, there is no side restriction so if a blufor come then occupy the area for 1 h a small team of blufor survivor will guard, if an opfor player kill the guard then occupy the area for 1 h an opfor team will guard the area and vice-versa. Take note this zone can be triggered only 1 time for each side and the player didn't recive any information if the area is under attack. Base Building : There is a simple base building system, there is only few crate that can be found (mainly in warhouse), where the player can select from a panel of asset to build is own safe place, there is no restriction a player can build any asset anywhere or provide more fortification for the main base or secondary camp. AI recruitement : Every friendly AI are recruitable, make sure they got a first aid kit in their inventory to be able to revive you. Other playable unit : Playable Zombie : There is 2 playable Z slot if the player want have fun by doing Zombies stuff, they can jump and got a higher HP than the normal infected. Asian Bandit : There is 4 playable slot, Asian Bandit are the main AI roaming faction, they didn't get any base, protected area or secondary camp, so the player bandit respawn randomly on the map but they got a huge advantage, they can recruit any Asian roaming AI and can approach the crashsite without being attacked by the guard. Renegade : There is 4 playable slot, Renegade are hostile to everyone, this playable slot was added for the lonewolf player or for a more hardcore gameplay. Take note this Playable slot got a forced identity, so the playable Asian Bandit have an Asian face and speack Chinese, the Renegade have a ravage renegade face and speack french. Danger and weird encounter The player will be confronted to an hostile environement, horde of infected, bandit, dynamic radioactive area, radioactive rain, highly dangerous and unidentified threat (no spoil). Information on the loot system There 3 loot system in this scenario : -Ravage loot (ability to search in box, trashpile...) -Loot on the floor, they are part of easy loot but limited loot, this loot are generated only on server restart, so it will more difficult to get easy stuff over the time. -Custom loot where the player can search in closed woodshack structure, train (wagon), boat wreck, plane wreck, big cargo...

Tales From Nowhere is a compilation of experimental missions for the Ravage Mod, showcasing fun or interesting ideas, concepts or game modes for singleplayer and multiplayer. Those missions will usually require 3rd party addons, or make use of various script techniques to achieve better immersion and explore what can be done with the tools provided by the Ravage Mod. Feel free to use or adapt any of the TFN missions or any part of it, as long as you give credits. All episodes of Tales From Nowhere are released under the Arma Public Licence If you enjoy the weird stuff I do with my spare time, want to support me, or simply buy me a coffee - good news!

Welcome to Vandeanson's Basebuilding! In this thread I will cover everything about my WIP basebuilding mod. V0. 2: feature showcase and introduction V0. 3 - I have re-written the blueprint creation function. It is now easy for users to add new custom blueprints or delete default blueprints when creating a mission. - added an option to rotate the object (the object that is being built) - added an option to get object closer or further away (max distance can be limited, currently at 5m) - GRAD persistency enabled for placed stuff (tested in client hosted and dedicated) - placed objects can be destroyed, you get back scrap materials (which can be refined into other materials again later) - moving an object will save its new position via GRAD - added a few new materials - added place-able light source with on / off switch. I plan to add a feature that requires a generator connected. See light showcase: next steps: - release updated showcase video - add more blueprints - add GRAD setting to save collected material per player - "Move" and "deconstruct" addactions to be saved via GRAD - adding possibilities to destroy other players placed objects - adding blueprint spawners, so players can collect and learn new blueprints - material traders - loot system for all materials that may be found (currently wood, stone and sand can be farmed) Looking forward to receive any input, suggestion or ideas from the community. A playable mission demo will follow shortly. Cheers VD 

Author: JTS Introduction Open world post-apocalyptic cooperative mission with a story line. This is the continuation of Virus X - Scientists & Virus X - Antidote. Search for food, ammo and weapons to survive. The nights are dark and the weather is hostile Description August 15, 2028. 5 years have passed since the last stalkers made their way to Chernarus to find their comrade who survived after being bitten by an infected. The survivor was rescued and successfully delivered to the military base of the Russian Federation, which is located near Chernorussia. Everyone hoped that he was an antidote that would help to destroy this aggressive virus. However, the blood of the survivor could not destroy the virus, but only weakened it. The military created a special fluid that was sprayed with helicopters all over the island. Now, most infected people are weak and move very slowly. But most importantly that this fluid destroyed the most dangerous type of infected - demons. So now at night you can move much safer. Not long time ago a group of soldiers on their special mission found secret documents about patient zero, who was the source of the virus. It revealed that patient zero was transported several times from hospital to hospital at the time of the outbreak. A group of experienced stalkers who work with the military and have been in infected Chernarus more than once have been tasked with finding a patient zero and taking blood samples for research as well as collecting all data about patient zero and leave Chernarus Features - Inventory (Virus X - Antidote, modified) - Dynamic weather - Day/Night cycle - Toxic rain, which depends on the weather - Story scenes - Extended car driving (Camera shake when driving. The strength depends on speed and what type of surface you drive) - Visual task-waiting function (Task starts when all players are in the task area) - Custom task system - Highly modified 'ravage' settings - Custom loot system (Virus X - Antidote, modified) - SP & MP compatible - Compatible with JIP - Save-game support - Push object function - Ability to drop an item from inventory (Virus X - Antidote) - Post-soviet color correction - 2 localizations: English & Russian - Random start-location Notes - Not working on dedicated server - In ARMA 3, loading mission from a save does not happen the way you think - Correct way to load saved game: Go to lobby (Here you see players in slots), go back to mission list (Here you can see and select island), select Virus X - Patient Zero and press 'Continue' button - Incorrect way to load saved game: Go to lobby (Here you see players in slots), press 'Continue' button - Use correct way to load the game from a save. Otherwise you may get the slots lost - Use J button to to open tasks - There are 2 actions when you loot objects: First is from ravage mod, called ' Search' and second is Virus X, called 'Inspect'. So don't forget to check if this action is available - It is recommended to enable music in your game settings - Read briefing carefully - NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ACE and other mods, which change the behaviour of AI (like ACE) - Be sure you disable all not needed mods before you start the mission (Mission will be disabled if using prohibited mods) - To avoid problems, it is recommended to run the mods in a specific order (See steam workshop) - Recommended monitor settings: 1920x1080, 16:9 - Recommended In-Game UI settings: (UI Size: Normal) - Be careful when pushing objects. Arma doesn't like when you play with its physics - Don't forget to save the game before leaving the mission - If host-player die - the mission will be failed - If you're a client and you got killed, it is better to load saved game. Otherwise the slot is lost - You can't save the game when you , for example: Driving a car, in a story scene or toxic rain is in process - 3 players in cooperative mode - Sometimes, when you load the saved game - an error may appear. This is some kind of protection against the uknown wind bug that happen on Chernarus.

Hi all, I want to share a WIP of a story driven Ravage mission that adds a quest line and an immersive currency for shops with a guided user interface. I made it for myself and already had plenty of fun with creating the mission and playing around with some of the new features I added. Even though it's not finished yet, it's already playable and I would love to get some feedback about the general idea as well es the new features I implemented. This is currently a proof of concept / WIP. Multiple story driven tasks are already implemented but the "end" of the quest line is still missing. After you finish the currently implemented tasks, you are however able to continue with the standard Ravage features and the additional feature of currency and homebase w. shops. STORY After the apocalypse your wife Helen was one of the very few surviving women. AAF took her away to god knows what place. Little later, you were enslaved by gruesome bandits. Now you're captured, unarmed, injured and starving. The guards got careless though and now is your chance to escape. Your only urge is revenge and finding your wife Helen. But how will you be able to find her?

"When civilization ends, it ends fast" - Tobias Greetings everyone! Today I'm here to share with you my biggest project yet. Operation Cobalt. If by the time you finish reading this page and checking out all the screenshots/videos and believe this is something you would enjoy, feel free to join my official Discord HERE for access to the server which is running the BETA build right now. What is Operation Cobalt? I'm sure we can all agree there is a lack of "good" FPS/TPS games based in The Walking Dead universe, with very few that even give a glimpse of the Army/Gov in action. Operation Cobalt is an apocalyptic life and milsim based in The Walking Dead universe, using RAVAGE as a base, and attempts to portray the efforts of the Military in a roleplay and milsim environment. Operation Cobalt is the name given to the plan devised by the U.S. Military in order to contain the spread of the infection. The initial stage of Operation Cobalt was initiated three days after the initial outbreak began in the U.S.A., with the deployment of military units into major urban areas (such as Los Angeles, California or Atlanta, Georgia) after the outbreak overwhelmed local law enforcement. Once deployed, the units would set up easily defensible 'Safe Zones' in urban areas such as Safe Zone India in Los Angeles or around the CDC in Atlanta. Medical facilities and refugee centers, such as those in the Los Angeles Arena and Raynard Community College, would also be set up to secure those believed to be infected, provide screenings for the injured and sick, and to act as bases of operations. Once these areas were set up, the safe zones would be used as a spring board to try to take back major metropolitan areas. The plan for the initial stage of Operation Cobalt can be described as follows: Selected, easily defensible areas to be chosen for safe zones. Medical facilities to be established for treating the ill and possibly infected. Those brought to the medical facilities would be held in custody until either seen by a doctor or symptoms of the infection manifested. Those who have either turned or showed signs of infection are to be humanely terminated, with their bodies being cremated. National Guard/Army units to use safe zones to retake city. You RP one of two roles (You can swap between them): Military and civilian. Military personnel have to enforce laws, ensure safety in safezones, conduct missions, and attempt to take the region back from the dead and rebuild civilization. Civilians are basic survivors who must choose between a safe life within the safezones, resort to baditry, or start their own community away from the safezones. In an effort to combine Milsim, Roleplay, and Zombie Survival, Operation Cobalt is the first ever gamemode meant to immerse the players into a heavy Roleplay environment based in the VERY EARLY stages of the zombie apocalypse, offering players an experience never before seen in Arma 3 while witnessing the fall of society. Rather than throwing the players into an open world with the basic survival mechanics with no real idea of who you are or what you're supposed to do, Operation Cobalt puts the players into one of two sides, where the civilians are free to start their own factions and communities while fighting the undead, pesky bandits, and struggling for survival in the beloved universe of The Walking Dead, and the soldiers need to enact Operation Cobalt. This mode allows you to play as someone we barely ever see in zombie games: The government. They will have to coordinate and execute side missions and large military objectives to eliminate the undead threat. While also having to worry about Civil-control, settlement management (Think State of Decay-Style), base and community building, and even combating the local resistance, both AI and real bandit players. Features Two playable factions, each with their own dynamics, shops, playstyles, events, bases, and equipment. Authentic roleplay environment. 120 max players. Extensive base building with different options based on which faction a player is in. Highly modified Ravage zombies with custom sounds and DayZ animations. (Configured as a replacement mod for Ravage) New weapons and items such as an AR-15, Thermometer gun, fishing pole, pickaxe, hammer, and dozens of food and drink items. Hunger and thirst. Arma 2 animations and terrain walking sounds. Mining, picking apples trees and mushrooms, fishing, hunting, and cooking. Customized ACE system, including easier and better medical. ACE can be fully customized to suit your liking under Options --> Addon Options --> Server --> ACE Stuff. Extensive lore based in The Walking Dead universe, with nods to the show and eastereggs. Weapon, item, gear, and vehicle shops with trading. Money, XP, ranking, and kill tracker systems. Full persistence if the server owner has INIDBI2 enabled. Bandit and friendly AI. And over a dozen more features currently planned and in development! How can I play?
