Description
This is not an official port of Dynamic Recon Ops, original mission credit to
mbrdmn. This port is designed to better integrate DRO with ACE3 and requires both CBA and ACE3.

Dynamic Recon Ops is a randomized, replayable scenario that generates an enemy occupied AO with a selection of tasks to complete within. Select your AO location, the factions you want to use and any supports available or leave them all randomised and see what mission you are sent on.

Designed to be simple to use but with plenty of options to customise your mission setup, the objective behind DRO is to create a way to quickly get playing a new scenario in singleplayer or co-op. With as few changes to the base game as possible, DRO aims to showcase the unique and varied gameplay that Arma 3 has to offer for smaller scale infantry combat.

Additionally, DRO has been designed from the ground up to take advantage of faction mods. If you have any mods that create new factions they will be selectable as player or enemy sides within the mission. However, the scenario itself requires no mods apart from specific terrains if you want to use them.

Main Changelog: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/2640199506

Features
  • Playable in SP or COOP.
  • Dynamic scripting means that no two missions are the same.
  • Menu on startup to select a variety of options including time of day and insertion type.
  • Revive system that takes visual cues from BIS revive but is fully AI compatible and works in both MP and SP.
  • Virtual Arsenal to select starting loadout for both player and AI units.
  • Compatible with CUP, RHS, and 3CB factions.

Updated Features
  • Up to 16 players or AI with scaling enemy numbers so even large groups are challenged.
  • ACE Arsenal available in the Team Planning area and with certain resupply crates.
  • When ACE Medical AI is enabled, AI teammates will heal themselves, and an AI medic will heal others.
  • Updated player enumeration with CBA for reliability for many internal scripts and functions.
  • Updated compatibility with ACE3 3.13.0 medical re-write (fixed invincibility bug, compatibility with Diwako's Armor Plate System, et c).
  • By default, player voices are set to "No Voice" to prevent call-outs.
  • Hostile Civilians have more "typical" insurgent gear.
  • Added additional location types for AO selection.
  • Extended AO now searches in a larger radius for more locations to add, and up to five additional objectives can be added. Enabling both Extended AO and five objectives can create 10 or more objective, demanding a lot from players, so use with caution.
  • Number of selectable objectives has increased from three to five. If used with Extended AO, this can generate over 10 additional objectives, use with caution.
  • ACE Arsenal interaction for team members so you can customize their gear with ACE Arsenal instead of BIS Virtual Arsenal.
  • Added support for factions created with ALiVE's ORBAT (assuming the faction is properly made per ORBAT's documentation).

Included Fixes
  • Fixed server-side targetting by AI (Lock-On Fix), with thanks to Knobb Manwich at SA.
  • Fixed issue with "Take and Hold" task not completing in some instances.
  • Fixed issue with properly detecting "destroy" task objective completion.
  • Fixed some factions missing vehicles.
  • Other minor bugfixing.

How to Access ACE Arsenal
  • When in the Team Planning area, press the Escape key to exit the menu.
  • You will have a prompt to Open ACE Arsenal via the Action Menu; press your Use Default Action key to open the ACE Arsenal.
  • Create or load your loadout and Close the ACE Arsenal interface.
  • Use the Action Menu (typically Scroll Wheel) and select the Open Team Planning menu action and click Ready in the corner to continue the mission.

Special Note
This map uses letter coordinates which sometimes doesn't play nice with random AO or FOB generation. Please manually select a location instead while I develop a workaround.

i can duplicate the issue if i purposely spawn outside the boundaries of the map - this is because the map uses letter coordinates and i need to figure out a good way to work around that. for now, on this map, please pick a map location instead for insertion and the AO

tried with some random settings and picked a different enemy faction and specific locations that might be weird (like near water and the bridge-thing:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3066396001

and after pressing "reset to defaults" from the DRO configuration menu:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3066396037

if you can get me an RPT i can analyze and try to figure out the crash. if the crash has a visible error (like STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION or something) i can also try and troubleshoot that.

the actual files between DRO ACE missions are almost identical, there's very little reason to have a crash or something grossly wrong with one mission but not another unless it's an older version, something to do with the map in some way, or a weird combo of addons and stuff.

i just tested this latest mission on Quesh-Kibrul on two computers in both SP and MP (self-hosted) and it seemed to work fine. i was able to get the map to crash when using the 3d map addon and the in-world map addon, but that's all. the map has letter coordinates which is a little strange, and possibly why those addons are acting oddly.

using only CBA, ACE, CUP Terrains, Cup Maps, and Quesh-Kibrul, the mission appears to work normally.

with Dynamic Recon Ops ACE - Novogorsk I do not have any problem

@Andrea Giuliani
do you have an RPT you can share with me? are you using any other addons other than CBA, ACE, and the map (with its dependencies)?

I have tried this scenario several times but the result is the crash shortly after the start of the mission... or the explosion of all the vehicles in the initial HQ
