RAVAGE TOURISM ESSEKER ZEDS TOUGH

Description
RAVAGE TOURISM ESSEKER


Hello RAVAGE Fans!



Today I present you my personal vision of surviving the Zombie Apocalypse using the perfect framework, RAVAGE, and the perfect map, Esseker.

Short overview:
 
Title: RAVAGE TOURISM ESSEKER
 
Version: 1.5
 
Author: tourist
 
Type: SP/COOP 1-12 Roleplaying Game
 
Respawn: Base/Markers
 
Game Version: created on 1.56 Stable and playtested with my buddies reforger and cosmic on 1.56 Stable; updated & tested on 1.76 stable
 
Language: English



Credits go of course to all the addon creators who made this possible in the first place. All addon makers do deserve our respect and gratitude, but in this thread I'll name especially those who were most important for this particular mission:

Haleks for the awesome RAVAGE Mod and mission making framework



ronhillultra and the rest of the team behind the Esseker map for their dedication to create an ideal staging area for apocaplyptic missions



hcpookie for his Battlebus



MrHuachuca for his atmospheric music and sound collection that greatly inspired the music selection in this mission - even if I have decided to not use his pack anymore in a published mission to avoid the copyright controversies it may cause.

Psychobastard for his PDF A3 Editing Guide in German and for his AWESOME Revive Script AIS/A3 Wounding System



Next to credit are my fellow RAVAGERS that helped my with scripts, advice or templates:



Bad Benson who not only made the Enhanced Movement addon so crucial for surviving in RAVAGE missions in general, but also offered the immersive script suite to the community that enhances SP and MP RAVAGE alike with vehicle crashsites, bandit camps, and, the most important element IMHO for immersion: The Temperature System! Bad Benson also helped me kindly with tailoring his script suite to my special needs for this mission - thanks a ton, buddy!



cosmic10r for building and presenting the first Escape! Mission for RAVAGE



Jimmakos for his awesome Esseker Mission that was a major source of inspiration for my own vision of RAVAGE on Esseker.



Haleks himself for his continuous tips in the PM thread while testing the DEV versions of RAVAGE or in the forum when I had mission making questions



Steam subscriber ROBAX for giving my RAVAGE missions a go several times now and for giving valuable feedback on bugs or possible mission design improvements
And last but not least my buddy reforger for playtesting with me "back in the day" the earliest versions in MP and giving advice on mission design! And last but not least my buddy reforger for playtesting with me in MP and giving advice on mission design!



What to expect from RAVAGE TOURISM ESSEKER?



11 different random start locations in SP and a spread out start for the survivor team in MP- some are better, some are worse in the sense that you spawn far away from the AI teammates in SP or far away from your buddies in MP.



Random gear in MP for all but one player slot who is designed to be the SP hero of this adventure and who is a die-hard prepper



Music that is part of the missions design and will be heard during the course of the mission in key locations.



An open world with a lot more to discover than just an escape vehicle, if you so choose... Just read the Briefing and hints carefully!



Epic fights against bandits and zombies while constantly struggling to keep your needs satisfied in a world more than one year after the apocalypse - that means ultra-rare loot (the challenge becomes even bigger the more people you are in coop - then you need in the worst case 11 times the amount of food and drink than in SP) and a total of just two driveable vehicles availble "for free" on the entire map besides the escape vehicles - and you must walk there first...



Carefully crafted locations which are there to provide specific loot in logical locations or which were created to help in building immersion and some more storyline



Additional food sources in the form of rogue farm animals that live and thrive in the more rural areas of the map - but you must find them first since they are set to wander, not to stay put!



Random spawns for the escape vehicles: if you are lucky, they are close to a place where you can find fuel and repair equipment for them, if your unlucky, well, hit the road and look for your loot!

Recommended Mods:

Dynasound
The Blastcore suite
Bloodlust
MOCAP
And of course Enhanced Movement, who would play RAVAGE without it?
MagRepack since I don't need ACE for just this one feature...
The LOW Mine Detector system to get safely through the Minefields around the Military camps... IF you decide to turn those cheap-ass red triangles off, that is. I don't force that at you.

The compatibility PBO for Warefarethai and RHS that is availble, although outdated, will still make some Magazines interchangeable.

thanks I'll have to figure out what I'm doing wrong with that mod I'm not sure why it's not showing up

@pretendshrimp:

you don't need to have @ALiVE Server nowadays - it was necessary for playing ón a MP Dedicated Server via WarRoom when I made the mission, but meanwhile the mission is using local saving which doesn't require to have @AliveServer loaded.

BUT: Since the Battlebus DOES ACTUALLY APPEAR AS QUEST TARGET in the mission, it won't let u choose roles if you don't load that mod.

trying to get this scenario to work. when I go to start the server there are no rolls to select. I have all the mods installed except for battle bus it just wouldn't show up in my list and I could not get a copy of a alive server. when I click the link provided on your Workshop page it just took me to the regular Alive mod which I already have installed.

Just finished this doing both endings. Things were good and definitely way better than previously. Had some good fights. I think the only thing that was a let down were the two endings. The one with the bus implied I was going to smash through the bandit checkpoint only to find out that the bus can't smash through it. It just stops dead. So then I went and got the chopper and the mission ended the moment I loaded a recruit into it. I was hoping to be flying over the southern hills but it just ended there. Otherwise all good, thanks.

Hi, yes other missions work with loading from previous saves, as does your Homini one I was trying the other day. I'm playing in MP so that I can see the marks on the map. I don't really change anything in Arma settings other than graphics, but I'll have a look for a save setting now. Just about to go back in. Teh missions seems to be playing ok and I'm just copying my saves folder out and restoring prior saves as continues if I need to go back a save. Seems to work ok so I'm happy to continue like this. At least it's a playable game now. You can see all of this on my stream that I mentioned in the comments on your other mod.
tourist  [author] 20 Jul, 2017 @ 7:33am 
That is quite weird; sounds more like you have set your general difficulty settings in ARMA so that you can't create multiple saves. Can you save and reload other missions than this one via the menu?
ROBAX 20 Jul, 2017 @ 3:50am 
I've managed to get things going and playable by just not using the menu when I die. There's no option to reload or load previous saves, but if I kill the game through Windows then I can resume from the last save.

@ROBAX:

generally speaking you'll have to copy the mission .pbo from the SWS downloading folder and put the copy in your "missions" folder in A3 manually if you want to play it as SP scenario.

FYI it's one of those crazy high number folders within your Steam folder; on my computer the looks like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\16420984\107410\remote

There all SWS missions get downloaded to.

The map markers will be invisible in SP just like in the other mission, sorry for now...
ROBAX 19 Jul, 2017 @ 2:31am 
The comments below imply that this works in SP. I've loaded it all up but it doesn't show on the Scanerios list. I already tried this in MP last week and it had too many saving issues so I'm keen to try SP if that resolves it (unless it also removes all the missions marks from the maps like in the other game)
tourist  [author] 4 Oct, 2016 @ 2:17pm 
hmm, that's weird cuz I also tested in SP and got swarmed on some locations. What version of RAVAGE mod u use?
