VERSION 2.50 FINAL VERSION


-Removed all type of scripts,modules and stuff linked to SAVE GAME options, also the RAVAGE character save its unusual in that mission!
(Unfortunatly not work nothing in the curent mission setup, and the mission gone a stay without possible SAVE game!)
-Removed the AI team mates! (This mission its focussed in COOP, the reason to remove them its because hit the performance in a wierd way , also the pathfind of the AIs on Tanoa its full with limitations and errors , specially in deep jungle zones and city/village zones and bridges!
-Small Optimizations of world objects placed by me!

WeaponB to make this works on dedicated server must add INDB2 or Register in WAR Room (Alive) and all this not worth for a mission with 6 tasks (its not designed to be persistand world, who can be continued)! But thanks to your call about the save system my future projects gone a be maded for Coop in mind from the beguinning and gone a have a SAVE with sure! This one cannot be fixed ,(i cant) ! But not gone a give up at all, if find any way to implement this,whitout re made the entire mission ill do it! Until then illl focus on my new missions! (Gone a be better than this , and with a working Saves :) )

Glad I could help you troubleshoot. Thanks for all your hard work. If you have a version of this that works with saves on a dedicated server, I can try that... I have a dedicated Arma3 server that I can run locally. I actually tried that early this morning thinking that might be why I couldn't save. So, I got this mission running on my a dedicated server, but that was before you started trying to enable the save function(so it obviously didn't work). However, it does make sense to step back and take a new look at how to do this from the beginning with being able to save mission tasks in multiplayer. So, good luck with that. And even if you don't update this one anymore, it's fun as it is. And it's a challenge to see how far you and your friends can make it. I look forward to trying out whatever missions you put out.
BG-Skech  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 3:19pm 
Ok in the end i try with scripts, with Vanilla , With ALIVE and not works ! Cant make the SAVES works property , to do this must make a new mission without RAVAGE or ALIVE ! So this one gone a be a One Try only , otherwise not save the TASKS ! But in my curent work in mission must find what makes this problem and try to not incluide it , because gone a be a huge mission and the SAVE its needed ! In this one can be compleated relativley fast in COOP but gone a takes at least 1-2 hours ! I make a dumb decision to not think about this from the beggining.. and im sorry.. For testing the skills in a group its good mission, but for persistant gameplay and continue after rejoin its not ! Thanks again WeaponB for the feedback!
BG-Skech  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 1:46pm 
Now i upload the ALIVE LOCAL save version, its time to test it ... and let see if this works if not .. i dont know what can i do, because RAVAGE and ALIVE are compleatly differend and looks like when are both in a mission cannot be used the SAVE game in MP ...
BG-Skech  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 1:38pm 
DONT TRY IT , already knows , not working mate ! Yes gone a work in dedicated server but not in normal Home server ... gone a take a look how can convert this and makes it work without change the mission and let you know... but looks like the coop experiance with Ravage and Alive cannot be maded to save the progress in a normal server or lan server! In any case gone a try find a solution without removing this mods...
WeaponB 12 Nov, 2017 @ 1:17pm 
BG-Skech... Thanks for the reply. Ok... I understand it must be challenging to make it all work especially with using all the different mods together and switching to support multiplayer. I'm a software developer for the last 18 years(not games though), so I can appreciate the technical challenges. Thanks for your time and effort.... Looking forward to see more awesome things from you. And let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
BG-Skech  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 12:55pm 
WeaponB , definitivley its like that and the problem its because Ravage saves the character progress only, i gone a try make working the Alive Savegame for the progress but im not sure if gone a work , the issue comes because this was planned to be a SP only ! Then i convert it to MP but ... looks like not thinks well in the SAVE options... i gone a test if ALIVE allows me to save the mission progress in LOCAL machine and not in the Cloud server (Dedicated one) ! Sorry for all this mess initualy how i said was for SP , for this i removes it , but after your feedback i gone a research how to do that in proper way, in a day maximum i gone a give you answer if its posible or not! Thx for the info and you are not bugging me with the questions , you actualy helps me to make a better experiance for everyone! And in future (Entire Map Mission gone a be all better, due of all this feedbacks from people like you)
WeaponB 12 Nov, 2017 @ 12:46pm 
BG-Sketch... My son and I just played the new version for about 45 minutes. We both noticed at the beginning it did say creating a Ravage Save file for this server or something like that. But the "Save" menu was greyed out during the game. We took out the butcher and then finally shut the game down, but was never able to save. After that I went into the SinglePlayer->Scenario-> and was able to preview my Ravage mod saved character... it looked like my guy with the inventory we had when we left the game, but no game progress is saved... I mean if we restart the game we have to restart the objectives all over... I'm fairly new to Arma3, so I may be missing something or not understanding... but when you added the Save functionality, should it save your progress in the mission. That is what tasks you have completed and where you are? Thanks again for the time you put into this. Hope I'm not bugging you with my questions :)
BG-Skech  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 10:31am 
Ah and sorry for my Low English skills , i know its funny how i describe the tasks but its not my native language and i prefere this way than my native language only! (few people gone a understand it)
BG-Skech  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 10:25am 
WeaponB the Task itself are around 5-6 but have a Hidden ones, who are in the briefing info but not on the map (You need to find it) Also have a Hidden compleatly one, but cant say much ...its linked with the pilots destiny if you reach that point.... and have some clues to follow who leads to the location! But its dangerous and can END tragicly for you :) or not... depend :) I put few tasks only but at long range is the last one... Curently Working on the Entire Map and a huge Task count!
BG-Skech  [author] 12 Nov, 2017 @ 10:22am 
Done, WeaponB... now must work! Enjoy the game and thanks for the feedback!

VERSION 2.32

-Added SP save game and MP/Coop Save Game! (Dont use ALIVE save game, use a normal SAVE)
(To work property , dont PLAY WITH AI, only with People)
(To deleate your Saved Character you must to go in SCENARIOUS--- RAVAGE MOD--- Multiplayer--- Walk in the character and with mouse scroll ,select DELEATE)
**Characters are linked to the name of the server, so make sure to start same server, to continue the save game**
WeaponB 12 Nov, 2017 @ 10:21am 
Thanks so much! My son and I will try it out and let you know how it goes! The little bit we played it before your update(1 or 2 hours), it seemed like a lot of fun. Getting dropped off on the island and then having to survive while completing your missions seems like a lot of fun. Can't wait to try it now that we can save our progress and come back to it. Curious about how many missions/tasks there are as you continue to play? Thanks again for your work!!!
WeaponB 11 Nov, 2017 @ 6:02pm 
I need help with being able to save. My son and I are playing this coop, but we have no way to save. There is no save option. Under the Alive menu it says the Alive data module was not placed? Is there something I'm missing? Do I need to configure Alive somehow? We are hosting a simple LAN game. No dedicated server or anything
BG-Skech  [author] 7 Nov, 2017 @ 5:32am 
Lowgrass mod is marked like Requiered (its not really) , but improves the PERFORMANCE a lot and its not bad to see enemies when lean on the ground shooting you!
Deimos 4 Nov, 2017 @ 3:06pm 
Thanks! appriciate that change
BG-Skech  [author] 3 Nov, 2017 @ 9:14pm 
Done its rised a doble (have random element) more info check change notes! Enjoy it
BG-Skech  [author] 3 Nov, 2017 @ 8:53pm 
Deimos i take a note and gone a rise the corps removal time with the next update
Deimos 3 Nov, 2017 @ 6:24pm 
I think the difficulty is fine as it is. The corpse do despawn quite fast though, tough to loot them in time if it's a large fire fight.
BG-Skech  [author] 1 Nov, 2017 @ 3:23pm 
In any case , its wellcome all type of feedback if other people think its too hard can remove some of them or make Ravage to spawn less enemies! Its up to you guys, i made it how i likes it , but if people think is too hard and dont have people to play with ,i can reduce the enemies a bit !
BG-Skech  [author] 1 Nov, 2017 @ 3:21pm 
About the dificulty for SP , yes its a challange , unfortunatly its focussed for COOP! I was maded a SP Scenario also with only Ravage spawned enemies , but didnt work how was planned and have got some modules errors and conflicts! In the end i deleate it and makes the coop focus one , and if i makes it with less dificulty the coop not gone a be enjoyble ... so this is the sweet spot between both! I manage to finish it one time only , alone ! I understand your point , but in other hand, i like the challange and dont give up :)
BG-Skech  [author] 1 Nov, 2017 @ 3:04pm 
Ravage run the 90% of the AI spawns and i place another 10% around the specific paths and places! And about the View distance Yes its set to 1000m and Object view distance 1000m too! And the grass set up is to normal ! All this is to makes the performance better and people with less powerful PCs to enjoys it (in the end is a jungle map, most of the time you dont need to engage enemies than more of 1000m also is imposible because they spawn maximum at 1000m from the player and minimum 400m , i set all of this for the performance, because have lots of work to spawn AIs and Loot and Vehicles...ect ect...! Oh and ALIVE is set to control virtualy the AIs at some distance to improve performance also!
Hans(z) 1 Nov, 2017 @ 1:41pm 
Ok it runs good. Did you degrease visibility somehow? I have 5km overal and 3.5km object and there is fog circle around me.
I think it's good for Coop, but in SP it's quite dificult. Do you place some patrols manually, or Ravage runs all AI spawn?
BG-Skech  [author] 1 Nov, 2017 @ 12:19pm 
Its ok :) Make sure to activate all 5 mods ONLY ! Ahh and to start the mission in LAN server (if you want to play alone) or normal INTERNET server (if you play with other friends) ! The game have a SAVE system so be sure if you want to start again to DELEATE your character or create new server with differend name, otherwise you gone a start where you left last time! (TO DELEATE a existing character go to Scenarios---RAVAGE---Multiplayer Saves and walk in the character who wants to deleate and use deleate option)
Hans(z) 1 Nov, 2017 @ 12:16pm 
Im noob! :steamhappy: I have Alive but I forgot to activate it via launcher. Sorry
BG-Skech  [author] 1 Nov, 2017 @ 11:37am 
Hans(z) Hello! Are you have ALIVE MOD on the LAST VERSION!? Please check all the requirered STEAM WORKSHOP MODS for the mission and make sure to have it from the menu in the right (this are what i used for the mission! Also the RAVAGE mod must be downloaded from the link in the description (armaholic) because is not in STEAM ! And you must add it in the Arma Launcher like a Local mod on the top you can see +MOD LOCAL and lunch it with all other Required Mods! RAVAGE MOD MUST BE version 0.1.46 ! Tell me if all this is done , because i can enter without problems!
Hans(z) 1 Nov, 2017 @ 11:09am 
I got some error when I loaded the mission this pop-up: steamMPMission\__cur_mp.Tanoa/Mission/Entities/Item4.type: Vehicle class ALiVE_require no longer exists. Pliiiiz help :D
BG-Skech  [author] 31 Oct, 2017 @ 4:20pm 
Oh thanks for the info about the vehicles ! Didnt use it and didnt test it :) ! I set Hunger an Tirst to 3 both because have a lot of recources on Tanoa! But if you likes can lower it and makes it normal 1-1 (deffaut)
Have a good night/day!
Deimos 31 Oct, 2017 @ 3:47pm 
Hello again. Thanks for response. Ok after testing the fueling and repairs work fine. They just dont work for placed vehicles ( like the mission 4x4 at start ). They work fine on Alive/Ravage spawned vehicles. refueled and repaired an armed technical.

I think hunger and thist are a little harsh set at 2 and 3 respectively. But i ammened that myself in editor.

Overall, good work and thanks.
BG-Skech  [author] 30 Oct, 2017 @ 9:31pm 
About the mission! NO i dont have it uploaded in any place yet (i use only Steam , because its better to focuss my time in one place than differend updates and pages) Im sorry but this mission gone a be only availible in Steam for subscribe! ( The reason for my decission its because use mods and if any modes its updated i must re-upload again and again all the stuff in other download pages and here in Steam all its more simple and friendly to the user and creators) ! If i make NON MODED stuff , yes gone a be added in all major portals to download, but this no, im sorry!
Deimos
BG-Skech  [author] 30 Oct, 2017 @ 9:24pm 
NON Steam links for manual download of the required items are added in description!
BG-Skech  [author] 30 Oct, 2017 @ 9:15pm 
Hello Deimos ! Thanks for the feedback i must see what happen with that items , didnt test it because the loot its random and didnt find any fuel cans :) but in any case what i notice the enemies specially the Renegades didnt start in remote areas if you travel with car at high speed... in the end its a bit more time taken but without vehicle its better experiance (if you likes the danger at any time) (i gone a add links who are not part of the Workshop in few minutes , but the fuel can and refueling gone a test it later) ! (try to go close to the car and just doble click on the fuel can,,, you need the hose to EXTRACT fuel and refill empty fuel cans! but the fuel can can be re filled in gas stations i guess and later doble cluck next to the vehicle to fuel it! (If the vehicle its drivable only) Some vehicles are Locked for players!
Deimos 30 Oct, 2017 @ 1:54pm 
Just to add, after first mission. I aquired the 4x4 Jeep, a jerry can of fuel and a hose. It wont let me refuel the vehicle. No scroll down option.
Deimos 30 Oct, 2017 @ 1:05pm 
Like your Mod, thanks for sharing. May i ask... do you have a link for download so i can install it non-steam?
