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.

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.

Survival Pack ---------------------------------------------------------------- this mod allows you to create scenarios with hunger & thirst through a module, and adds some functionality to food items and canister fuel, and that's pretty much it ^_^ Features: - makes basic in game existing items such as foods and a fuel canister usable with animations and sounds, though all items are mostly in game existing there is a new MRE (military ration) throwed in after an update - after an update, item functionality is there without the needing of any modules, you can refill water bottles or refuel canisters, you can have items working without activating Hunger & Thirst - mod items has compatibility or support with other mods or scripts that has a different hunger and water system, but this works if the custom mod/mission uses getVariable to store player's hunger and water, which I'm pretty sure it will be 90% mostly getVariable Modules (Survival): - "Hunger & Thirst" module activates player hunger & thirst (very obvious, why am I typing this? xD) - "Item Properties" module sets item properties food nutrition value, water value and consuming duration - "Settings" module defines the variable names for 'hunger' and 'thirst' to store in player, and sets max hunger & thirst value - "Strings" module for changing texts, action texts, messages and icons of this mod Functions: - eg: retrieves a player's hunger & thirst value: _firstPlayer = allPlayers select 0; [_firstPlayer] call survivalpack_fnc_getHungerWater; waitUntil {!isNil "sp_recievedpacketvar_player"}; waitUntil {_firstPlayer == sp_recievedpacketvar_player}; systemChat format ["player '%1' actual food and water values are %2%4 %3%4", name sp_recievedpacketvar_player, sp_recievedpacketvar_food, sp_recievedpacketvar_water, "%"]; systemChat format ["player '%1' displayed food and water values are %2%4 %3%4", name sp_recievedpacketvar_player, round(sp_recievedpacketvar_food * 100), round(sp_recievedpacketvar_water * 100), "%"] - eg: set hunger & water for player, sets the first player's hunger to 50% and thirst to %20, -1 to ignore [allPlayers select 0, 0.5, 0.2] call survivalpack_fnc_setHungerWater ClassList: - adding items to player inventory: player addItem "SPItem_CanisterFuel"; player addItem "SPItem_CanisterFuelEmpty"; player addItem "SPItem_TacticalBacon"; player addItem "SPItem_CanSpirit"; player addItem "SPItem_CanFranta"; player addItem "SPItem_CanRedGull"; player addItem "SPItem_Waterbottle"; player addItem "SPItem_WaterbottleEmpty"; player addItem "SPItem_Canteen"; player addItem "SPItem_CanteenEmpty"; player addItem "SPItem_Cerealbox"; player addItem "SPItem_PowderedMilk"; player addItem "SPItem_RiceBox"; player addItem "SPItem_Pumpkin"; player addItem "SPItem_Orange"; player addItem "SPItem_BakedBeans"; player addItem "SPItem_MRE"; - adding items to container: this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_CanisterFuel", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_CanisterFuelEmpty", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_TacticalBacon", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_CanSpirit", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_CanFranta", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_CanRedGull", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_Waterbottle", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_WaterbottleEmpty", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_Canteen", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_CanteenEmpty", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_Cerealbox", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_PowderedMilk", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_RiceBox", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_Pumpkin", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_Orange", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_BakedBeans", 10]; this addItemCargoGlobal ["SPItem_MRE", 10]; - animation classes: sp_anim_start_eating sp_anim_eating sp_anim_end_eating sp_anim_start_drinking_waterbottle sp_anim_drinking_waterbottle sp_anim_end_drinking_waterbottle sp_anim_start_canister_fuel sp_anim_canister_fuel sp_anim_end_canister_fuel

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;)!

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

Siege of Athira Persistent survival PVE/PVP SP/Hosted MP (10 players)/Dedicated MP mission (10 players) It is something I always wanted to play. Basically you are surviving NATO soldier in besieged town. Town is besieged by CSAT and inside you are trapped with few surviving guerrillas resistance. Groups/singles of guerrillas fight each other in town and you need to go out from your hideout under town to find equipment and food. Food is found at houses furniture and equipment usually on dead bodies or guerrilla secret boxes scattered around town.Every raid that last 90m you need go out and then find shelter entrance randomly scattered around the town to get back to your underground hideout. If you die in town everything you had with you is lost and you born as new NATO survivor. Everything that is stored in hideout stash is safe for your next life. You cannot escape town cos CSAT snipers and there is zone between town and factory that you need be careful to cross it. During night you can use chemlights and attach it on you or wait for CSAT flare for snipers above town or use gun lamp or if lucky NVG.Only vanilla ARMA 3 is needed. No mods and no DLCs are required.

Looking for a good survival server Hello all, I'm looking for a good modded Arma 3 server to play on. I've played the game before but am now getting back into it. Prefered features are: 1. Not too much loot, but not too scarce either. Lower tier loot can be somewhat common with better loot being very hard to find. 2. Roving AI that hunt you; infantry at the minimum, ground vehicles are better, boat and aircraft patrols would be great! 3. Prefer militarized, with only civilian gear, weapons, and equipment available at traders; must search and scavenge for the good stuff. Or, perhaps, military being very expensive and require high respect/xp/whatever to purchase. 4. PvPvE, but if a PvE only server is good enough I'll consider it. Maybe even have PvP at night only? 5. AI survivable, but able to take you out in numbers if you're not careful. 6. Zombies: take 'em or leave 'em, I'm not particular, as long as there are enough AI to keep me on my toes. 7. A friendly and active player base who are down for some RP rather than shoot on sight all the time. 8. Missions, with a variety of difficulty levels for different skilled players. 9. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, rad storms, etc. 10. And of course, the most basic survival aspects: food, water, thirst, fatigue, and body temps. 11. Base building! 12. Day/night cycle with decent length nights. 13. Sneaking/stealth; ability to avoid zombies and AI if you stay low and slow. 14. Not picky about any particular map, just needs to be a big one. 15. ... Probably more stuff, but that's just off the top of my head. If you think I might like your server, please let me know. Even if it doesn't have everything on my wish list, if it's fun enough otherwise, I might just give it a go. :)

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

Apologies for any grammer mistakes.. this is going to take awhile and I'm going to ramble incoherently for a bit about diffeent topics randomly. Sewing kit + hat = pocketed hat. Larger hats could hold more items only restrict the items to plastic survival cards you see these days in outdoor stores, pocketknifes (small blade), ect.. things you can fit in a hat that are basically flat and light. Cards could have recipe/guides for starting fire, food, water, clay, cordage from grass, basic shelter guide or tent. Meat smoker tripod with 1 upper body clothing or 2 pants, 5 short sticks, rope, 3 long sticks. Sharp rocks spawning by jagged rocks that roll down rocks Cliffsides, rocky drop offs from erosion at river bends could spawn sharp rocks, obsidian sharp rock which could be more durable then a sharp stone. 1 sharp stone + obsidian = knife/arrowhead/fats scraper/eat Just under the water on coasts in shallow spots could be a stone texture; it could be interacted with to get stones, infinite, grass can be harvested with shovel to make dirt, after 1 plant cycle diffrent plant has to go into that plot with 1 more dirt and go through its cycle to be able to make effective edible crop. Fertilizer isn't necessarily needed when farming if soil is good for it.. crop rotation. Side note, most of the ideas I'd have would be implementing primitive survival/survival/prepper knowledge and mix of other topics into working game mechanic to improve survival odds. There's quite a bit a person could do outdoors to get a leg up in the world, cordage from grass. Railroad pebble texture, players could search any spot of the texture with a chance to get a sharp stone but it wears smooth quickly compared to obsidian, obsidian being stronger then cheap pocket knifes in some cases. Smooth stone could be shaped again with any flat rock in range of water, because stone can be ground down with water, flat rock, and pebbles. It's very energy consuming. Axes and spear heads can be made also but are primitive. Some trees can have a hole drilled into on the bottom with a knife; small stick with a groove cut into it and a water bottle to catch any water running from the tree, sap for torches and glue, what ever its good for. More realistic timescale Hope someday buildings look more traditional to what we see these days in modern cities, even a transition to large cities with skyscrapers or 6 story buildings, atmosphere like "I am legend/Ring of fire/28days later. The suspense, dark gritty environment, overgrown cities in a world with bit more detail of random items throughout homes.. dream for that. At server restart seeing homes with more random items like silverware, dishes, furniture(that would be burned for fire wood)option to craft also with woodworking tool)). Initial launch of a server could populate the map with items you'd find at the beginning of collapse and npc living in those structures you can take to who are barricaded in.. these npc could have routines like finding water and food, be hostile, offer speech challeng etc players and act like city states from civilization 6. Npc could join players with most trust and setup a base where players decides, have any building be able to be a base for npc. Players could be mayor of a npc town that is producing food and water.. end game content for solo guys who want to start a faction. Cities have jobs, roles, guards, scouts. This is sounding impossible. Geography, rocks are plentiful on the riverbed and shoreline, at the bends of rivers where erosion changed the shape, other rock and soil. Mountain springs, above treeline there's better water and there can be contaminated water upriver flowing downstream from dead animal.. or hazard zone. Hazard zone could make animals rabid, zombie rabid bear... +40 damage + 250Hp, better hearing, faster, circles behind bushes far away from players. Bears fight this contaminated Bear or animals. Ocean seaweed, clams, large crab. Reverse osmosis from clay pot over campfire plus lid, attach clay tube or pipe from home to make spout, fresh water. Source: youtube Plants, lush foliage that stretches for miles, slows movement, scratches, grows in forest sometimes, otherwise forest floor can be packed with large plants that are not ededible. Argonne forest amazing trees.. empty tall forest with a bed of leaves can make for a tense moment when there's fog and it's fairly flat. Forest path carved through small hills; around mountain sides, through stinging nettles and 6ft tall grass.. game trail crossings.. small game, deer. Paths have junk off the road like glass bottles, rags, clothing, broken tools and knifes. Caves.. cave system to a spring of clean underground water, bats.. boots to go through poop or build a bridge. Quicksand. Bogs and peat soil iirc. Like quicksand, earth that appears to be solid only you keep sinking.. Plant a tree that is larger and close to a rock wall, build menu option for planting trees seeds or cuttings from tree that have grown in a 5 gallon bucket for a month. That's the technique for saplings, some plants you can't do that. Mechanics.. cars could be in decent shape based off of settings for servers, separate option. Cars could be stripped of wire, engine parts like an alternator, starter, water cooling pump, power steering, brake pads or drums, hoses, carb. (Not a mechanic) thermostat and then the heater doesn't work and on low temp nights with high winds. Wind chill makes temperature drop to negative quickly. Being wet, in high winds on cold night would be gameover quick. Broken window or thermostat. cold wind in vehicle could be death. If each home could be themed in editor to have items related to hobbies, residential, commercial and industrial produce vehicle parts, farming parts like old school tractors. Find one of those next to a barn under vines.. go a few acres over get tools from a residential farm. Residential building like homes have mechanics, farming, gun cabinets, alcohol or fermenting station, gardener. Shelfs could have more items amd food pantry could be the main source for food, duck tape and random small tools in drawers. Small pots or cast iron in the cupboards. Cast iron pans could produce more AOE heat and make food taste better. Provide iron even to the body, from what I hear. More berries, large pat he's of mushrooms that new player would think is food.. it's poisonous. Beneath tree bark is a fresh layer of bark that can be chewed on but keep in mind trees are poisonous in the real world. Wild oats, wild wheat, wild peanut.. wild variety. Real life variety of look alike plants if there is. Knock grains off of the wheat tops when ready for more seeds, mash in mortal and pestle for oil? Bread? Buildable structures that are made from studs, rough cut lumber. It leave the mill to the yard on trucks that drop off at stores and lumber yards. Instead of planks it's 7 studs.. wall, top and bottom, double up top. Sheeting is what covers the studs and is pre cut to be the height of walls, usually. This is on modern homes these days.. log cabin, offices and hospitals. All that is concrete rebarb, steel.. welded. Harvest large stones to make really bad cover for fighting, add wood roof and net and plants fibers for cover. Trench running around base with plank upgrade to keep try or roofs, plants, soil for hill/tunnel base. Light amd table and squad is planing a raid. Ambiance as a storm is going. Dark, deer off in the forest. Rope tension trap. step on and caught hanging in the air by the foot, faints after 2 minutes and can cut free with knife. Small tree kept under tension, animal as large as deer step here and it catches by rope or steel link. Trappingamnd fishing.. or hooks baited and tied off to a log, illegal irl. fish basket for trapping. Cage for small game,, birds, rabbits, fowl, squirls. Cats and dogs, birds, ostrage, chickens that act more like chickens! Dakota fireplace, hole in the ground with air tube leading 2 feet away. Reduces light and smoke is visible, greener the fuel source the darker the smoke. Dry trees and stuff makes lighter smoke. Low smoke means low pressure system like rain. Wind in game could affect hunting, you could be upwind and startle a deer laying in tall grass. Raccoons.. and wolverines.. Bears going to fish by the shore, they catch a fish and drop it on shore, player can pick up fish.. maybe gunshot could scare the bear away.. or player yells into microphone. Some animals have higher chance to fight player. Deer kicks with front legs. Power station players could fire up if they find the text books from libraries, text books about complex stuff like vehicles and books show recipes to fix em or build water table pump, welding, mechanics, medicine. Edit: Let players of dayz and vigor recruit npc that try to survive in homes around the map.. npc has some knowledge of map already an could guide players around if thier new like the terraria guide or be hostile based on players previous speech questions. Recruit npc have them set up base around player shelter an guard while away but npc has to be decent enough to fight players and not die needlessly, know when to not grab certain items in chest so players don't login to see food gone. Teach a.i. npc to farm with books and where the water is with map. Crates marked food a.i. could place that there and not eat an amount under a certain number. Npc could have roles and be sent out on missions to control points on the map setting up regions of control. Rework of fresh player spawns to occur after short times reset (4hours) at an event taking place. Npc supply trucks drive onto the map fresh spawns are fully geared but being chased by a horde of zombies. Anybody choosing not to join spawn event at the event arrival spot can join up. Faster timed events; boat crashes, helicopter crashes of diffrent types, attack and support. Storms with hail stones that do damage, zombie animals, more animals and zombies that can be more frequent. The way it is now loot drops would have to be reworked... or npc occupying buildings randomly have loot spawn in thier stash every so often players could buy or take. Have environment be so hostile players have to join together or have npc recruits to even survive. Imagine being in a pitch black forest with an npc follower you met a few hours ago.. fishing, looking for forest food knowing each other position because of glow stick lights.. npc stays withing range to see your light and will return if you whistle. A zombie horde that moves really fast and in packs through the Forest or silently walking under trees and all you can here is leaves rustling. Edit: Semi trailers and trailers. Semi can be fixed up but trailers can be dismantled into flatbed and buildings could snap in place. Figure flatbed could be 3 rooms.. machine-gun on the back or up top, motorcycles, quad bike or bicycles for scouting. If I can think of more I'll certainly leave it here and if you know any survival knowledge, see issues let me know I'll think around it.

April 1986 versuchte ein Forschungslabor ein Mittel gegen Krebs zu erschaffen, das Verfahren war neu und wurde zum ersten Mal an diesem Tag getestet. Während der Zellteilung im Labor, kam es gleichzeitig im Block 4 des Kernkraftwerks Tschernobyl zu einer nuklearen Katastrophe. Durch die Erschütterungen gab es gravierende Probleme im Labor für Monokulare Prozesse und musste daher sofort geräumt werden. Niemand konnte ahnen, dass die Zellen sich durch die Strahlung veränderten. Die Bewohner der Insel Chernarus erkrankten und weisten unterschiedlichsten Symptome auf, aber am schlimmsten war das Fieber. Aus diesem Grund wurde auch der Notstand ausgerufen und die Organisation T.E.R.A übernahm das Evakuieren von Chernarus.

(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'm happy to announce you the futur release of my last project concerning Arma game. Initially, i fixed to myself a mod development challenge to release it in one month. It Was in 2018. I missed the target cause i had to suspend it for others projects. But .. as some of players asked for it, and i'm not sastisfied to not finish my work, i release it now. My main idea was respected, and i mainly focused on the essential. Don't expect the game to be tweaked as a final release, but be aware that it offers more advanced features than what must of missions did. Goal : eXtinction is a Survival Mission that takes place on Liviona at the begining of a sanitary crisis. Players can play together or individual. The main scenario wich is not mandatory is you act as a special commando and have to discover what's happen in the Liviona country. Communications with HQ are broken since few days, ammos and moral are low. The population suffers from a mysterious disease (..) Like all survival Game, eXtinction manages the thirst, the hunger, the illness, etc. You will find everything you need to stay alive on your way. With the inventory system that replaces totaly the Arma vanilla one, you interact with all the objects of the game. You could search and find stuff everywhere. But more, to stay alive, you will need to be strong enough against zombies but also enemy army forces and manage your healh all along your mission. What ???? Only one life ??? Yes soldier, this mission is for the heros the real! Don't forget it's a milsim oriented game 🙂 The first version is in French langage. You are free to translate it, or modify it if you wish. The mission can be used in scenario mode or in sandbox mode if you want to bring your own content, or play like a lone wolf. About eXtinction: exTinction uses some of my advanced stuffs that make this game fully dynamic 🙂 BME2 : manage network exchange VITEMS : manage virtual inventory and arma stuff, interract with 3d objects INTDB : manage differents DB and backup for relisient game KEYHANDLER : manage keyboard All internal modules etc. And i also used some external mods: Ryan Zombies & Demons RHS Thanks to the autors Download: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2228052658 Github: https://github.com/code34/projectx.enoch How to play: Start an Multiplayer game with a local or internet server, choose the liviona map, and projectx mission.

What is fallen? Brief Game mode description Arma 3 The Fallen is a PvE / PvP game mode inspired by Tom Clancy's The Division being developed by the Arma 3 The Fallen team. It is set in a fictional city using Midtown Manhattan's city road layout, in the aftermath of a virus escaping a lab; the player, also known as an agent employed by the United States armed forces, is tasked with helping to try to fight to take back the city from enemy ai factions and combat criminal activity in its wake. The Fallen is structured with elements of role-playing games, as well as cooperative and player versus player online multiplayer, there are no cars or transport; the only way of getting around is by foot. Gameplay Arma 3 The Fallen is an action role-playing game (RPG) mode set in an open world mid-crisis city with destructible environments that can be freely explored by the players. The player's mission is to restore order by gearing up and fighting the factions trying to take over the city. The player can carry three weapons, and explosives like sticky bombs and mines and handheld throwables to fight against enemies, The game mode is played from a third-person perspective. As players progress, they earn Fallen Credits. They can use this in-game currency to buy weapons and gear, and use the Credits to learn perks. You can progress through tier levels to get better perks. The player's gear is categorized into seven levels of rarity and commonality: worn, standard, specialized, superior, high-end, gear set items or the rarer exotic items. Gear can be either bought with credits at the vendors, or found as in-game loot, or crafted from gathered blueprints. There are 3 perk tier categories these are Medical, Security, and Tech. By battling AI and players, completing tasks and objectives this grants the player credits which the player can spend to gain access to new perks and more XP meaning they can fight harder and better AI and higher perk tiered and level players easier, the higher your player level the more chance you have of getting better gear, guns and rarities.The game mode features a dynamic weather system which may bring benefits or disadvantages to players. For instance, storms and mist can hinder a player's visibility and make aiming difficult. The game will also feature a day-night cycle which can change the aggressiveness of the ai in the game. PVE The core gameplay of The fallen is Player vs Environment. The Agents will go against AI Factions. These Factions are split into Tier systems of how dangerous they are (1 is the easiest). Each faction has identifiable gear and items on them and different factions will give you various loot and monetary rewards for killing them. All factions will immediately be hostile towards the player upon seeing them. Some of the AI factions will require help from friends due to number or difficulty. There are 2 player hubs and 7 safe houses throughout the world, these are where you will get missions. Missions are the best way to get rewards and content and give you the highest chances of rewards as you are helping the populace The main hub is where you will respawn when you die and is considered to be the central hub of the world, often most missions will send you through or back here, the hub is a good location to talk to players and try and set up a group. Groups We have no player factions, every player is a part of the Agency, instead, players can form groups, these groups are run by their group leader and it is up to them what tasks and areas they operate in. PVP/Dark Agents In the Fallen zone agents can decide to go rogue otherwise known as going dark. This is the PvP element of the game mode. These agents are marked on the map and can be killed for a reward but also kill other players for their gear and gain the reward. Dark agents are the most extreme and dangerous ways of getting rewards and gear and are one of the hardest methods on the server for gaining gear. Fallen Zone The Fallen zone is where the virus first spread and is the most hit area, thus this area is extremely dangerous. At Fallen Zone 9 Also known as FZ-9 of the Fallen zone is the lab where the virus was created and is one of the most dangerous locations in the game. A Lot of equipment and people were left in this zone as the military tried to gain a foothold and stop the spread of the virus. This area is where a lot of high-end weapons were left behind when the military fell back beyond the quarantine wall because of the increased violence and infection rates in this area. Specialist equipment must be worn to even enter the Fallen zone... Better quality items can be found within the Fallen Zone, but are considered "contaminated"; contaminated loot can be stolen by other players and must be flown out via helicopter in order for them to be available to the player after they leave the Fallen Zone. Players can be accompanied by other friendly agents, however, anyone can turn against each other at any moment, this is called going dark. Players credits may drop if they die too often in the zone. Backstory The year is 2020 a supervirus escaped a lab when there was a massive gas leak leading to an explosion; most of the specimens were contained or were killed by the scorching heat of the flames...but this supervirus escaped the flames through survivors using their bodies as a trojan horse and incubator to ravage through the host’s body, through the flames and into the city population, this supervirus was phage and antibiotic-resistant and ravaged through the population of the city within 14 hrs of infecting patient zero of this viral epidemic, this supervirus was highly infectious and caused symptoms of coughing, sneezing, sweating, viral rash and major respiratory problems leading to lung collapsation. The supervirus was known as the Neo-Virus named after the lab called Neo Virology Laboratories that was based in the part of the city we now call the fallen zone, this virus caused widespread chaos, and the city was placed under quarantine. The U.S. Government activated sleeper agents in the population, they are tasked with restoring order in the city. They combat criminal groups, such as the Rioters, common street thugs who generally want to take advantage of the quarantine, and the Cleaners these are insane City Sanitation workers who wield flamethrowers and believe everyone is infected, You even fight blacked agents who have gone insane after witnessing the chaos and destruction caused during the breakdown of order following the initial outbreak. You also can fight an ai faction called "Darked Suppressors" (DS) that were originally the front line against the darkness that swallowed this fallen city, a blacked private military company that was abandoned by the government during the evacuation, and are now hostile to it. A Fallen Zone is a place that has been left behind and fallen into chaos. This is where the lab was and there is evidence of the damage and how badly the supervirus hit this area of the city, the government walled this part of the city off as a last-ditch effort to keep the infection contained, It’s your job to survive and help the city get back on its feet, will you be the hero or turn your back on your people.. let’s find out! Factions During the short period of this disaster, groups have formed into factions. Most factions within the zone are enemy factions but some factions are friendly or neutral to our cause and will help us during firefights or even give us supply, shelter and gear. Civilians You will have AI civilians walking around the map, some may have missions so make sure to go up to them and check as they have good rewards. Enemy Factions The following are the most prevalent enemy factions, these are the ones that are the most dangerous to us or we know where they are. Cleaners The cleaners are an enemy faction that wants to kill the virus by burning everything...but they believe everyone is infected and won't stop at anything to burn everyone and everyone to death! Darkness Suppressors ( DS ) "Darked Suppressors" (DS) that were originally the front line against the darkness that swallowed this fallen city, a blacked private military company that was abandoned by the government during the evacuation, and are now hostile to it. Looters Looters are AI that attacks people for their loot, they only care about their own survival in this world and will do anything they can to benefit themselves for a higher chance of survival. Dark Agents Dark agents are an ai faction of Agents that have gone dark and are now trying to gain power in the city. More factions to be added! Connection Information Discord

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...

Hi all, I am looking for a solution or some guidance to understand how I can pull arrays of loot (e.g. weapons, gear,...) from a separate file into a .sqf file. What I want to do: - create a master file with arrays of items, weapons, or structures - create scripts (e.g. LINK)that spawn loot that can access those master files - have one single file where I can alter those arrays without having to update the arrays in each single script an example for an array that is currently in each of my scripts and that I would like to export into a master file and then acces from such master file: _itemsArray =[ "rvg_canOpener", "rvg_plasticBottlePurified", "rvg_spirit", "rvg_franta", "rvg_milk", "rvg_rice", "rvg_hose", "rvg_guttingKnife", "rvg_tire", "rvg_purificationTablets", "rvg_flare", "rvg_matches", "rvg_Geiger", "rvg_toolkit", "rvg_antiRad", "muzzle_snds_B", "muzzle_snds_L", "acc_flashlight_pistol", "optic_DMS" ]; Any input is very welcome;) thank you and cheers vandeanson

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 

Welcome to No Cure A Single player Arma 3, Open world action RPG.. In 2017 the asteroid named Mortifera 71 began its collision course with earth. As Mortifera 71 drew closer to earth Governments around the world decided to nuke it in an attempt to destroy it or reduce its size. This resulted in a cataclysmic disaster breaking Mortifera 71 into thousands of smaller meteorites that showered the earth causing utter destruction to most major cities and our planet’s surface. In the wake of the disaster the climate effects where detrimental Earth was shrouded in a dust layer plunging the planet into complete darkness. Communications across the planet failed and governments lost control as humanity fell into panic mass killings /starvation /and a breakdown of medical systems left behind a broken world. Several years on as the dust began to lift a dark and daunting horror began to manifest. The asteroid contained water within its core, the water was host to a bacteria unlike anything we have ever seen. When Mortifera 71 was split by the nukes the bacteria thriving water was spread into the earth’s ozone and all across the planet’s surface. The effects are devastating, mutating most living things only the stronger immune systems manage to scrape through. 2047 The shattered world now consists of factions and colts banded together from survivors of all kinds desperately trying to cling on to existence at whatever cost…. And on top of everything…. Something dark and sinister is rising from the old world…Pure evil is coming. Let chaos take its place.

DesolationREDUX has released our first Alpha build, v0.1.0. Server files are now available for hosting your own server. Server Files Download Instructions can be found at DR Wiki Support at DesolationREDUX Forums This post will cover two projects that are really one in the same. DR Project is a collection of a Mod Framework, DB Extension, Assets, Tools, Plugin Repository, and Terrains. DesolationREDUX is a survival mod using all that, working as a showcase for everything. The mod is currently in beta testing as we continue to add in the original planned features. Progress has been going very well, and we are pleased enough with how things are working that we decided to post up here. The hope, when completed and released, is that other mod makers will be able to take our work and make their own projects with them. The DR Project is open source, and will be released under APL-SA. Code, assets, terrains, will all be able to be used and edited by the community at large. ArmA Plugin Management System (APMS) The ArmA Plugin Management System (APMS for short) was created to add a plugin framework into ArmA. It allows for server owners to easily add and remove content from their server. Developers can create server-sided "plugins" that can add key binds, add events, add buildings to the map, and add SQF code. It also allows Developers to create a custom .cfg file to add control to the content within their plugin. The APMS system is the core for DesolationREDUX. Everything within the mod runs through the Plugin Manager; all key binds, events, and map edits. APMS WIKI The benefits of the APMS are as follows: Customizable keybinds created by the server. All aspects of a plugin can be customized by the server owner via the .cfg file. Managed events for both server and player. Managed Actions. Ability to easily add and remove features from a server. Managed map edits, spawned before the server has finished starting. Installation of plugins is incredibly easy. Simply place the plugin PBO into the Addons folder of @DesolationServer. Place the plugin CFG into the Config folder of @DesolationServer. Add the plugin name into the Plugin managers PluginList.cfg file. Done RedEx: REDEX WIKI Key features are: - Supports 64Bit and the new CallExtension with Arrayarguments. - Has an builtin mechanism to load additional config whitelisted Modules dynamically, so no need for plugin writers to struggle with the ArmA CallExtension API, you get wonderful objects containing "key -> value" associations, where you simply can call: `extArguments.get<unsigned int>("itemAmount")` or `extArguments.get<std::string>("listName");` and you return ArmA strings. Everything else like handling strings that are to long is done by LibRedex. - Supports sync, async and quiet async calls (calls that do not return any data) - Has a wide range of functionality to make life easier: -- Random lists that connect an chance with an item, like they are used for Loot spawn. -- Random lists of numbers (you request what kind of numbers you want, how many and in which range) -- Getting real world time in different formats like epoch(unix) time, an date array. -- Handling of file input and output on in the config defined files. -- You can define if an file readable, writable or even only readable one, which use useful to hide data. -- An module to call whitelisted urls and the Steam API, for example to get informations about VAC Bans etc. -- An build in client which can connect to an middle ware to allow ArmA to communicate with other tools like an admin web framework, as example we provide an Discord Bot, that does allow the players to request the current Performance and Server Stats. -- And of course an database connector. Database specific features: -- Does support multiple Databases like MySQL(MariaDB) and PostgreSQL, additional support for Stores like Redis are easy to implement. -- All IDs are based on UUIDs, so no longer waiting until data is committed to the Database to get back the identifier of an Object. Just request an UUID, set it as ID for the Object and then tell the System to commit the Object. -- All sql querys are sanitized additional most of them use prepared statements. -- Some function calls like "update objects" are dynamic and don't need all data to be supplied, for example you only want to update the position of the car? fine! only send the position. -- The goal of the design of the database itself was to fulfill all possible needs we could imagine. As Plugin writer perspective this means you should not need to change anything database related, all object and character information are stored automatically. This includes also variables starting with an specific Prefix as well as skins etc. -- In case of objects we provide the "svar_" prefix, so if someone would like to add a coins system, they could store the current coin count of the object ins "svar_coins". -- In case of an Player we provide "svar_" and "pvar_" both work the same as in case of objects, but the difference is "svar_" is bound to the character, so if the character dies the variable is lost, while "pvar_" is bound to the player profile, so if an character dies these variables are still present on a new character. Last is useful to save for example the skills an player has earned. -- There are also more advanced features, like the database is able to save the connection of two or more objects, so you can attach an box to the roof of an car and after the server restart the box is still attached to the car. -- An encryption library using an PSK set in the config to validate the hash of objects, and encrypt text in general. We created a couple tools along the way for server managers to use. Admin Tools: The DesolationREDUX Web Administration Panel is a plugin to help with server administration via the use of a fully configurable website panel which allows the server owner to define groups and permissions for all the staff. This panel allows the server administrators to be able to start, stop and restart the server. It allows admins to view all the logs on the server to allow them to help catch hackers! Server admins are able to view the chat of all servers on one simple web page. Server owners can use the web panel to setup and configure groups and permissions for a web based RCON tool to allow banning, un banning, kicking, remote chatting and much more. Server Manager: This tool is aimed at server owners who want to make server management easy as it aims to remove the annoying server start bat files. It will be GUI based and allows for easy server configuration. The Administration tool takes up the task of automatically restarting your server via a time picked by the server owner. It allows the installation of plugins via just one click as it works alongside the script Plugin Repository System. It allows server administrators to be able to easily add and remove parameters to their servers without the use of a bat file. Most importantly, it has support for multiple servers so managing more than one server could not be easier. The tool is C# based and currently only set up for Windows platforms. As of quarter 2 2017, C# received Linux support, but we have not done any Linux support for the Server Manager. It is planned. Plugin Repository: The DesolationREDUX Script Repository will be a website hosted on a sub domain of DesolationREDUX which hooks into our forums authentication system. This website will allow users of the community to easily publish plugins/ scripts to our website, push changes and updates to the plugin, and give a detailed description of the plugin. This website will be moderated by our forum moderators and staff to ensure nothing malicious is submitted. This repository will also be included in my Server Administration Tool, and will allow server owners to simply click a plugin on the repository to install it directly to the server. Vehicle and Loot Spawn Location Tool: The Vehicle and Loot Spawn Location Tool is used to get your own custom spawn location. This may be necessary for custom buildings, or to simply add your own touches to your server. These tools are located in Eden Editor, and are very simple to use. Due to the way in which REDUX spawns vehicles, the tool is needed for accurate position locating. Upon finding your locations, simply go to any text editor and "paste". It will paste the appropriate code config information. Server Discord Bot: The discord bot is a simple to install bot that provides easy access to server information such as Server FPS, CPS, Active Threads, Server Uptime, Player Count, Online Players, and has the option for the server owner only to shutdown the server. It is recommended this tool is placed in it's own channel as the players seem to love checking it. All assets we create, or port from the A2/TKOH data packs, will be made available as a separate download once REDUX goes into Beta. These assets will include magazine items, map objects, weapons, structures, characters & gear, and vehicles. All assets will be available unbinarized so they can be edited to suit the users needs. We hope these assets will be taken to supplement the available A3 assets, and used to create more interesting content for the ArmA community. All we ask is that we are credited with providing the source files and any derivatives are shared with the community. As for terrains, that portion of the project is on hold until we complete DesolationREDUX. Once the mod goes into Beta, the modeling team will move over to creating assets for a western themed map. We originally had plans for a map based on the San Juan Islands. This may still happen. Will have to see what the team feels like creating when we get there, but we will be creating a US based terrain and appropriate assets. Some of the project members also have their own side terrain projects that will be released as well most likely using available A2 ported assets and A3 assets.

"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.

Hello, Brand new Mini DayZ player here, [less than a week] and I am loving it! My boyfriend was playing for a while then after hearing all the excitement, I asked about it and he showed me. I am now happily a fan. It takes me back to my PC game days of Krush, Kill, & Destroy but more hands on. After playing the game and lots of dying, I now have a ton of questions [and a suggestion or 2] that I can't seem to find the answers to. Hopefully you can answer them. ***What clothing items [besides T-shirt] can be torn into rags? I have searched so many places online and I cannot seem to find the answer to this. I know in the original game DayZ, there was a decent list of clothing that could be torn into rags, some even torn into more than 1 rag. Please help! ***How many times can you harvest a plant before it "dies" ? Do the plants die, become unable to be used? I know you get like 2-5 crop from most plants. What I'm wondering is if it keeps growing new crop on it's own or do you have to plant new things each harvest? [note: this is in reference to farming in the game. I am not asking about berry bushes.] *** How long do items survive when dropped on the ground? Does the map referesh every X amount of hours? *** Can your character get attacked while inside a civilian tent? *** Why can bear traps hurt our characters but not barbed wire? Wouldn't it make sense to make bear traps and other similiar things only harm the enemies? Seems to give them even more of an unfair advantage than what they already have. *** What is the purpose of the fuel can? *** Why can certain enemies enter certain buildings? How do we know which enemies can enter buildings or which buildings they can enter? Do enemies change per island you visit? *** What is the secret place? How would we know we have found the secret place?
