[SP\COOP]DUWS-R THE RATS OF TOBRUK

********PLEASE READ THIS*******PLEASE READ THIS********PLEASE READ THIS*****************
**********************AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO ASK ME SILLY QUESTIONS***********************

This is a modification of the original DUWS by Kibot and DUWS-R by the DUWS-R dev team. Full credit goes to those guys for creating the DUWS code.

In this modification you play as the British and Commonwealth Forces against the German Afrika Korps.

Requires Mods to play, you'll find em all on the Arma 3 Workshop, links are to the right in required items. There's a few new ones, they're not very big though, just added a dynamic music script that uses two sound mods.

CHANGING THE MAP

I've set up a google drive for the .pbo just rename DUWS-R-THE-RATS-OF-TOBRUK.iron_excelsior_Tobruk.pbo to DUWS-R-THE-RATS-OF-TOBRUK.altis.pbo and put the file into the MP missions folder in the arma 3 root directory.

HOW TO PLAY

Consult the map dialog options for how to play.

This is made to be played through multiplayer local hosting for SP or internet hosting for coop.

When setting up the game after setting up CP, AP, number of zones etc you'll notice two red buttons at the bottom of the dialog box, Start-R and Start-M. Start-R will randomly place the enemy zones (I don't recommend this as it picks the flattest areas which can often be on the edge of the map boundary where the map editor stopped creating terrain, it works better on island maps). Start-M lets you manually place zones by left clicking on the map. It can be difficult sometimes to get a zone where you want it, the flatter and less cluttered the better, although you can usually get it to go where you want it to.

AI Revive: AI in your squad will automatically revive you and your other ai squad members (only if played through Multiplayer LAN or hosted internet game)

Known Bugs:

If you're using the manual placement of enemy zones when starting the game, this map is quite difficult to find areas to spawn in zones due to the uneven ground, also you should wait about 20-30 seconds in between spawning zones to get the next one to spawn (not sure why but it works a lot better). Furthermore, once you have placed all zones it is normal for it to take up to a minute, maybe more to exit out of the map.

MOST DUWS MISSIONS DON'T WORK ON DEDICATED SERVERS - THIS MAY CHANGE SOON!

AT guns aren't very good at killing tanks, purchase a Single High Command Tank from the request squads menu to guard your HQ and learn how to use high command on youtube.

Make sure to destroy or at least immobilise any empty german vehicles, mainly halftracks as if you don't they will not be despawned by garbage collection which deletes bodies and immobilised or destroyed vehicles. This will help performance.

Sometimes when selecting a side mission the game will freeze on the loading screen. This tends to happen more if you select 2.5km max distance from HQ in the options at the start of the game, 5km works better. This is usually caused by the code not being able to find suitable uncluttered and flat areas for the missions to spawn.

The ammobox support does not have british ammo in it yet as I don't have access to FOW ammo classnames. Buy the armory support and it will have a virtual arsenal.

Please notify me of any other bugs and i'll try to fix em, I'm relatively new to coding, and ENJOY!!!

Special thanks to UltraNoobian from DUWS-R and Jigsor=BMR= for all of their help.
