R e c o n  O p s : M a l d e n     
[SP/COOP Local Host/Dedicated Server]
   
Tested on Dedi = Yes
Players = 1-12
Civ Presence = Hostages
Enemy Faction = Light Armored Rebels
Length = 45min || 75min
Mission Build Time = 126hrs  
Vanilla Assets - No Mods or DLC Required
ReconOps Malden has two paths. One short, one longer.

If you board the Helicopter and take off with Radio 0-0-1; This is a shorter more direct mission. The Helo will take you close to the main AO.

If you board the Assault Boat and launch with Radio 0-0-2; This is a longer more investigative mission. You will have optional tasks like preventing a civilian execution, and civilians to question along the way. 

Enemy will be patrolling both towns, roads and interiors of buildings and sheds. 
Features a working Stealth mechanic. Using silenced SMGs/Pistols you can engage all enemies quietly. Being visually spotted, missing a shot, or alerting nearby units will of course make the enemy engage you. AR's are less stealthy as bullets penetrate and travel further. 
  
Synopsis :   
    You are part of a highly equipped, highly trained PMC outfit; DEFION.  
    Your tasks are generally to clear, hold, and defend or destroy areas and/or infrastructure. 
     
    Features :   
    • No mods or DLC required. Malden is free content now.
    • ~20-45 lightly armored AI at each AO. Optimized and staged using Dynamic Simulation. 
    • HD custom textures (see above gallery) 
    • Re-spawn and Group Switch enabled.
    • Revive available for all players.
    • Random Time/Weather each mission start.
    • Working Stealth mechanic. Using silenced SMGs/Pistols you can engage all enemies quietly. Being visually spotted, missing a shot, or alerting nearby units will of course make the enemy engage you. AR's are less stealthy as bullets penetrate and travel further.
    • Enemy AI have been tuned to High Skill+Low Accuracy.
    • Starting weapons are AR MXs, but 9mm SMGs are ideal for stealth. Arsenal is available at the staging area.
    • Godmode on demand; On the briefing table there is a laptop (see above gallery pics) should you want to go enlightened.
    Designed for Local hosting SP or COOP, runs very light with AI in a localized area. 70-90fps in local testing. Obviously runs like a dream on dedicated servers.  
      
    How To Launch Mission Solo or LAN :  
    • Go to Multiplayer
    • Server browser
    • Host Server
    • Type in server name, # of players, password
    • Choose map on left (Malden 2035 in this case) and the mission "Recon_Ops.Malden" on right.
    • Hit Play
     
    My other COOP/MP Missions :

    Thanks to : 

    Drongo for MP/coop testing and all round brain picking. And the amazing suite of mods for mission building! 
    PierreMGI for help with the on CursorObject script help.
     

    Everyone 
    who subs and enjoys the mission, cheers and beers to all. 


    Update v1.1 :
    • Fixed a bad trigger not firing when evidence in Arudy Town was collected. Thus hindering progression. Trigger is now fixed and firing correctly. A big thanks to @EgoTobi for reporting the issue.

    Update v1.2 :

    • Added a "Skip Time" function to a laptop on the briefing table. You can now skip forward by 3hrs at a time by hitting the addAction via the laptop.

    Amazing mission. I played with some friends and we had a great time. We started with the boat and it was a lot of fun blowing up the armory and helping the civilians. Everything was very well decorated, it was very immersive, sure took a lot of work, thank you very much!

    Hmm definitely not, meant to be allowed to respawn. I’ll take a look over the weekend. In the mean time maybe use the godmode laptop? 😅

    hey vedkay, I realy love this scenario but for some reason I cant respawn and it turns to spectator mode. is it intended? please advice.

    All this technical gibberish is like Chinese for me; can't you just make it playable like an arma3 single player scénario... same for your other missions which seemed rather good ?

    I've tried my best to explain to you how MP missions work. You can play MP missions in SP if you follow the directions I listed in both the comment and the description.

    Again, MP missions can be played in both SP and MP.
    I make these missions because I run a server and play them with my crew.

    It's a lot easier if you use LAN server and a trustworthy VPN. Removes any need for port forwarding or IP stuff. You can even do that to play solo if you so choose.

    its certainly not easy if you never go multiplayer; can't you just make it a normal "singleplayer" mission as everybody esle does ? that would help
    VedKay  [author] 23 Mar, 2021 @ 2:06pm 
    Backup option?? What??

    Dude... You local host the mission so you can play it solo on your machine.
    You're not looking for servers, you are creating a "local server" to play the mission from your pc.

    - Go to Multiplayer tab
    - Press Server browser
    - Press Host Server
    - Type in server name, number of players, password (can be anything it doesn't matter)
    - Choose map on left (Malden 2035 in this case) and the mission "Recon_Ops.Malden" on right.
    - Hit Play

    It's as easy as that.
