multiplayer Opportunity Cost - How to unchaos Conflict!
Kriechbaum posted a topic in Arma Reforger - Multiplayer
Dear Bohemia Interactive Team, Reforger is an amazing game that brings back memories of Operation Flashpoint. The graphics look stunning, the day-night-cycle and weather lets us experience the environment in many different settings. So we have this realistic looking landscape and assets, radio communication between squads, rank system etc. but the most played gamemode, conflict, feels totally random most of the time. From what we see, people tend to have the best experiences when there is a certain teamwork and coordination going on. It just doesn't come all by itself. The game should support the process with certrain mechanics. We have A Visually accurate representation of military assets VS. no representation of military structure. "Conflict" is meant to focus on logistics and resources, but there are no boundaries in place to prevent anarchy/chaos around those resources nor foster teamwork. In a nutshell, a conflict game is not the slower paced game it wants to be. It is about how fast people can race around the map in light vehicles to capture tents with flags on them. There are no real "lines of contact". No real motivation to stay alive. -> Suicide missions of few individuals are the norm. So I wonder, why not introduce more structure right into the game mode? My theory is that the resource system of the game mode is the key to a more realistic experience. At the moment, resources are distributed around the map, at bases, at resource points. Access is free. And if anything is free, nobody cares to be economical about it. Vehicles and gear are free, so why not take the most expensive vehicle? Gear is free, so why not take as much as possible? What happens is that few random people can deplete a base and drive off into the next suicide attack. Now, if you would assign a "wallet" to every player, things would become a lot more interesting. If a player has to use up points of his own wallet to pay for resource consumption at a base, a more economical approach to everything on the map would emerge. The current rank progression could be easily combined with the wallet. Progress within a rank would also add points to the wallet: Opportunity Cost becomes a thing 1. Increase wallet size if rank goes up 2. Increase wallet size if number of squad members goes up 3. Fill up wallet if spawning at main -> being in a squad becomes more desirable as access to resources increases. -> staying alive becomes more desirable as lost gear and respawn at bases other than main will cost you -> capturing key objectives becomes more desirable as it rewards you the most It would be a mechanic that links a players access to resources with his contribution to the goal. In essence it would mimic the value of military assets a bit more accurately. -
How do I enable multithreading? ArmA isn't using anywhere close to all of my resources, how can I make it to where it uses more? I am tired of 20 FPS. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Hi, so I am in dire need of help in regards to how to set this up... What i want is several areas in which you can use Zeus to set up player respawn camps with some storage etc. Its a ravage survival mission and this is an important aspect. I want all players to be able to enter specific areas and then place down tents campfires blah blah blah..... But i also want to restrict what they have access to i dont want them placing down tanks Ai or anything like that just specific empty objects that i can define.

A really detailed response would be much appreciated! help me guys and gals. PS the points will be earned via triggers on completing quests and stuff.. -
Zeus RTS: Looking For Modders/Mission Makers To Help Us Out!
MrCrazyDude115 posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey everyone! Before anything else, I'm going to say that I wasn't sure where I should post this, here or the Zeus-Editing Sub-forum, but both seem to match what we were looking for. Me and 2 other guys have started working on an Age Of Empires-Styled RTS gamemode, it will/should include features such as constructing almost any building in the game, both civilian and military buildings. Civilians that you can spawn to gather resources that you can spend on buildings and units, and so on. We need a few guys to come help us out. We are pretty experienced with the editor, we have made large scenarios such as: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?185375-COOP-The-Dark-Ones-Open-World-RolePlay-Quests-Monsters-And-Creatures-And-More/ AND THIS: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/181576-spcampaignrhs-the-east-wind-rhs-remake/ AND THIS: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=180420482&searchtext= So if you guys are interested on helping us out with this, add me on Steam.
