Warriors Haven Framework

Warriors Haven Framework is our attempt at building an I&A gamemode from the ground up, porting over features we've developed in our own modification of Quiksilver's Invade & Annex, and rewriting other systems to make it easier for us to develop new objectives and functionality.

Source code: https://github.com/Warriors-Haven-Gaming/WHFramework

This mod contains seven map ports, some of which require additional mods to play:
- Altis
- Tanoa
- Drakovac (Map)
- Mogadishu (Modpack)
- Regero (Modpack)
- UMB Colombia (Map)
- Yulakia (Modpack)

All requirements are optional, and this mod will hide maps with missing dependencies as necessary.

Warriors Haven Framework provides a reoccurring main objective and side objectives procedurally generated across the map, using terrain features and marked locations to take full advantage of the map's topography. The main objective aims for infantry-focused combat, providing lightly armored vehicles and turrets that players can dispatch with their firearms alone. However, players can also opt for combined arms tactics, with dozens of ground and aerial vehicles to choose from.

Worried about playing this gamemode alone? Recruits are always available to fight with you, capable of reviving and sustaining themselves in prolonged firefights. When you get incapacitated without a medic nearby, use up your medical supplies to revive yourself and get back into combat. If you're not keen on driving across the map to reach the next objective, request a halo jump from anywhere and dive down in a line of parachutes.

The following vanilla factions are always available for OPFOR:
- CSAT
- CSAT (Pacific)
- AAF
- LDF
- Syndikat
- NATO *
- NATO (Pacific) *

Additional factions are supported with the following CDLC and mods:
- Expeditionary Forces
- Western Sahara
- CUP Vehicles and Units
- RHSAFRF

* To fight against BLUFOR factions, you must enable them in the gamemode's CBA Settings. These factions are converted to the OPFOR side when spawned.

Once subscribed, you can start the gamemode from Scenarios in the main menu, or host it by going to Server Browser > Host Server and selecting Warriors Haven Framework from the appropriate map. Beware that if you play the SP version from the Scenarios menu, you will not be able to respawn when you die and will have to restart the mission each time. As such, we recommend hosting it as a LAN server.

For dedicated server hosters, you can also host the gamemode directly from the mission files on our Releases[github.com] page. This allows players to join without installing our mod, which is particularly helpful with our vanilla ports like Altis and Tanoa.

Dedicated server hosters may also consider using our suggested BattlEye filters[github.com] to improve security. See this DayZ BattlEye Guide[opendayz.net] for more information.

Installing CBA_A3 allows server hosters and players to customize the gamemode to their liking in the Configure Addons menu. Various settings are provided for OPFOR factions, skill levels, max recruits, vehicle Active Protection Systems, self-reviving, number of objectives, and more. Without CBA_A3, the default settings are always used.

Certain features like damage reduction and our revive system are disabled when ACE is loaded. However, we don't normally test ACE with this gamemode, so you may encounter issues with it.
