[SP] Bounty Hunter (Malden)

This version is for SP ONLY! If you want to try a discontinued, legacy MULTIPLAYER CO-OP version (1-4 players), it can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1133399875.

BEFORE YOU ASK ANYTHING IN THE COMMENTS, there are two golden rules that will fix a vast majority of your problems:
1) Don't use any mods other than those listed below in the Recommended mods section
2) Don't restart this mission in-game! Only restart it from the scenario selection screen in ArmA main menus. I have no idea why this scenario fails to load correctly when restarted in-game, but it does. So don't do it.

Overview and features:
Bounty Hunter is an endless sandbox mission, featuring a custom shop system, upgradeable base, customizable missions parameters, dynamic enemy groups and random missions. You start with some basic gear and a couple of resources, the rest is up to you. You can earn money from killing roaming enemy groups, eliminating enemy bases and roadblocks, selling enemy vehicles and explosives to the Black Market and completing missions.
This mission is still under development, so bugs and errors are to be expected. Any feedback and bug reports are much appreciated!

Known issues:
-Sometimes groups will, despite many different workarounds, spawn inside rocks in Malden. I'm looking for better solutions for this. The issue persists with certain locations regarding the Area Clear mission type, unfortunately.
-You will sometimes see duplicated notifications about group kills. These are annoying, but they don't actually add any extra money. I'm pretty sure that they are caused by some kind of bug inside Bohemia's own notification system.
-Allying with CSAT or AFRF can lead into some weird AI behavior issues.
-Occasionally dynamically spawned objects like static HMG's won't spawn correctly and will get tipped over or destroyed.
-AI sometimes gets stuck. This is the reality in ArmA. In case of a support AI (helitaxi, repair team), call them again and cancel the support. In case of a squad member, you can teleport them to you from < 10m by using "Unstuck" action (can be found from command menu 6, orange "Unstuck" action).

Frequently Asked Questions:
========================
Q) Once I click "Start mission!", the screen fades to black and then doesn't do anything. What's wrong?
A) You're using mods that modify the vanilla config file. Use ONLY the mods listed above!

Q) How do I get/accept missions?
A) Buy the IN1 (Comms) upgrade from the store. Wait for the mission offer to appear. Then go to your supports menu (0-8) and select "[Re: Mission offer]" and then "Accept".

Q) Why is there no respawn?
A) This is a single player mission, respawns are not supported and since you can save anyway, there is no need to. Enable unlimited saves from game options if you haven't already.

Q) What does the "PURGED!" message mean?
A) This message just lets you know that the custom garbage collection script has ran successfully. It deletes all distant bodies and everything from the ground near them, such as dropped weapons and items.

Q) I accidentally dropped my uniform and my character refuses to pick it back up! How do I get it back?
A) Unfortunately, ArmA 3 has a weird way to handle uniform chances in-game. But you can always pick whatever uniform you want from the wardrobe in the base. Also, I recommend using the Unlocked Uniforms mod, listed in recommended mods section.

Q) Rescue Hostage mission doesn't end properly.
A) It seems that the initialization of this mission doesn't fully run if you restart the scenario in-game. So when you start the scenario, be sure to ONLY RESTART FROM SCENARIO SELECTION SCREEN, not from in-game menu!
