Ravage

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!

Some of those features sound similar somewhere.. (but if you have used a few scripts by authors, please credit them :) )

By the way, your mod looks nice, keep it up! ;)

Question...

Are you copying off the franchise DSS?!? :/ (The features sound very identical)

Haleks said:

Ravage is a single person project, 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 for about two years and is still an ongoing project, with
many additions being planned for the future.

Both our mods are inspired by Dayz, obviously, so there will be a lot of similarities I expect...

Ranwer135 · March 21, 2013

No, I'm not copying anything; both our mod are inspired by Dayz, obviously, so there will a lot of similarities I expect...

Ahh, ok. :)

Sorryz for the haze comment, didnt look close enough and suffered the 5 minute wait for editing a post xD (again, keep it up!) ;)

Edit: Wait what?!? :O

I too am creating a mod by myself as well and this is my third year! (Your welcome to use my mission script files if you like, in my DSS franchise) ;)

No worries! I know this kind of mod can be very demanding, it's normal to be a bit over-protective! ;)

all 3 of you guys should lump together, zombies and demons + DSS + ravage-mod

there is a 4th but his mod homepage is on armaholic called "walkers"

Teriyaki's TRYK's Multi-Play Uniforms would make a nice addition to that impressive list.....he's got some cool stuff in there....

Oh, and best of luck with the project mate....

I know. :)

But I manually select what assets are to be used in the mod; given the number of supported addons, I'd rather wait for a final version for mods with many items.

But don't worry, Tryk's addon will be supported.

Why not? ^^

Yet, given the amount of time invested in each mod, I'd like to see how each individual release pan out! ;)

Plus, combining work from different people can be difficult, especially when everyone's domain cover the same areas.

But I'm open to the idea. :)

Looking really good project :rolleyes: i'm waiting impatiently :yay:

haleks · March 9, 2014

Hi guys! Some informations about the mod while I take a break from the final testing phase!

As stated in the OP, Ravage should be easy to use for mission makers (eventhough the first version will lack customisation options).
With that in mind let me share some details on how zombies work in Ravage. ;)

The first version will include various modules, one of them allowing you to spawn zombies all over the map (it is possible to define black-list zones, more infos on that later).
The spawn function should be compatible with every single map available - as long as it contains some buildings, no matter the type of building.
The maximum number of zombies is dynamic as it depends on the sun angle. Of course, the code has its own clean up function, making sure that unused zombies are deleted as the player move across the map.
Spawned zombies aren't persistent, but it is possible to clean up a location : as long as you remain in the same area, no more zombies will spawn.

About their behaviour :
They can attack any human being (player and NPC), as well as dogs (the next versions of Ravage will probably include feral dog packs Ã la STALKER).
Their spotting abilities are tied to several factors to achieve a somewhat dynamic behaviour : sun angle, the target speed, field of view and the target's stance (crouched, prone etc).
In other words, it is possible to play hide and seek with them - but keep in mind that shaking them off is more complex than just breaking line of sight, they will look for their last target if they loose it.
They also react to any close by gun shots and will head towards it; the "hearing" function also accounts for suppressed shots (but still, remember that they aren't completely deaf).
Also, since Arma is no zombie simulation, the "zombie attack" script makes sure that AI units can flee when infected are too close.

On the downside : currently they totally ignore vehicles. This is a more complex question, but I do plan to work on this...
Screenies coming soon! ;)

Love the sound of this.........

Ranwer135 · March 21, 2013

Got a few Ideas you might wanna use for the mod: ;)

- Have a custom main menu screen for either Altis or Stratis. Code below for getting a mission into the main menu:

class CfgPatches
{
	class TUT_MyCustomAnims
	{
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 0.1;
		requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Map_Stratis"};
	};
};
class CfgMissions
{
	class Cutscenes
	{
		class Stratis_intro1  //magic happens here
		{
			directory = "TUT\TUT_MyCustomAnims\scenes\mynewintro.Stratis";
		};
	};
};

- Maybe the Blowout function that's in Namalsk. (The memories... B) )

- Usually a short campaign could tell how it all began.

- Mutants :P

Just some ideas I thought you might want to add in Ravage, anyways, keep it up. ;)

Hi Rawner!

Thanks for the suggestions; the custom intro on main menu was planned, yes ;)

I haven't fiddled with this stuff for a long time, but it is quite tedious as I remember it so I was keeping it for last. ^^

As for the Blowout idea, I've been toying with the idea and had written some basic functions - but I'm not satisfied yet.

The first release will only showcase Altis (and maybe Stratis), but I plan on adding optionnal missions for various terrains after that. Those will most likely have different feelings and backgrounds; there is a project for Chernarus that should have a strong STALKER (the movie) vibe to it. But that's not coming anytime soon, sorry to say that. ^^'

BossMann · July 28, 2014

Looks awesome!

You have really outdone yourself (like always) and I honestly can't wait to play this.

As a side note, it would be cool to see you get in contact with the Exile devs, I'd like to see some of the aspects of thier mod (Basebuilding and traider citys in particular) included in yours and vice versa.

Hi Bossman!

Nice seeing you here. ;)

Never heard about Exile, but I'll make sure to take a look at it once the current "free-roaming showcase" version is released.

I've been away from my computer this week, but I'll try to push the release before September if I can - and then take some time to reflect on the next features and additions...

As said earlier, I'm considering a collaborative development for the next phases, especially since I'd like to implement a multiplayer mode despite my lack of experience in this domain. ^^

But nothing's decided yet. :)

Ranwer135 · March 21, 2013

About multiplayer scripting, there's not really much to it. Probably the only 2 you'll need to know are Local and Global.

Local (e.g. _myvariable) runs on only one machine. (If a script, action, etc., is running)

Global (e.g. myvariable) will run on all computers.

As long as you already have this, it should work fine in MP. (However, I am not really fond of the dedicated system and how it runs. It can be very buggy)

Hope it helps, ;)

Rawner135

kodabar · February 23, 2014

Definitely up for this. Looking forward to it in fact.

Sorry rawner, but this is wrong.

_myvar will be local to the script or function

myvar will be local to the machine

Publicvariable "myvar" will be public and sync to all machines

Good luck on the project haleks

Richie · March 22, 2013

This sounds awesome, please make it multiplayer and maybe even some persistence :D

haleks · March 9, 2014

Good luck on the project haleks

Thanks Giallusto!

I'm in middle of reading a few tutorials about multiplayer scripting - so far it looks like it will be a matter of going through each functions and make sure they're sync to all clients when necessary.

That and some subtilities about AI and spawning stuff. ^^

@Richie : Persistence seems to be far more complex though, but I'll study the subject. ;)

giallustio · March 11, 2010

Kind of...You have to decide what can stay local (player or server), what needs to be sync and when. It's just a matter of organization.

Feel free to PM me if you need it.

Ranwer135 · March 21, 2013

Ahhh, right my bad. :p (that post was made during my bedtime)

Again, good luck on the project. ;)

haleks · March 9, 2014

Thanks guys!

Small update about the supported mods : I've added some of the weapons from the WarfareThaÃ¯ mod to the gear list used by Ravage; for now it's only a few weapons wich aren't covered already by RHS or Massi's pack.

But I will eventually add full support for WarfareThaÃ¯ weapons for people who don't play with RHS or Massi's (if there's any!).

Other than that, I'm quite satisfied with the latest test runs I had, the current build seems stable enough and runs pretty smoothly - just needed to make some minor balancing here and there.

There's still a couple of things to iron out, but I'd say it's very close to being "ready for release" - quite happy (and anxious) to make it happen after two years of development. :)

A few more screenies as promised!

The color correction used on these screenshots is totally optional.
