@GOMZLIKE It can play differently depending on the parameter settings. The default game will generate 8 zones on the map. You start the first zone with just a pistol. After finishing that zone, you take what ever gear you've collected and enter the 2nd zone, and so on. Each zone has better gear to be found and is in a different part of the map.

You can pick how many zones there are, or if you want the zones to go on forever.

The game is trying to emulate an extraction shooter.

hi, i don't get it, there always a one zone after each death? Or it's changing after you exit the zone?
Skull  [author] 22 Jul @ 1:34pm 
Thanks, I'll keep investigating

i just pause, and go dinner, after finish my dish, i back to arma, the time is already zero. but still i can explore the area. i don't know what happen if it count zero, but in my case, it nothing happen. yes cdlc and weapon work, really nice. i hope ground branch and patrol get this feature

@Aegis+ When I pause the game using the mouse wheel, the screen turns blank. After a while I unpause, the screen unblanks, and the timer hasn't continued. If you wait until the timer is less than a minute it will be counting down in seconds, and the countdown stops when I pause the game. I am playing solo and hosting (not running on a dedicated server). Pause is only supposed to be available when hosting and only 1 player is playing. How are you doing it that is causing the timer to stop counting down.
Skull  [author] 22 Jul @ 9:31am 
The game should work with the cdlc and weapon mods.
Skull  [author] 22 Jul @ 9:30am 
I'll look into the pause not stopping the timer.

The enemy spawn at the flags. So it is supposed to be very dangerous near the flags. These are shown on the map as well as being able to see the flag in the environment. You can also adjust how many of these dangerous areas there are in the parameters (Number of enemy spawn points).

I can add a parameter that allows adjusting the respawning delay for ai. Right now it's pretty quick. I look into adding this too.

hey skull, your collection is really good, love it. but on this scenario can you add new feature? it's really annoying to die shot in the back while looting, enemy spawn so close to player in short time. can you add feature to make enemy not spawn in specific distance from player. and feature to adjust enemy spawn time, and how many spawn. really appreciate your work.
Aegis+ 22 Jul @ 2:49am 
there is bug when i pause the game (use scroll wheel) time still counting. and is this okay to use multiple cdlc and mods weapon?
Skull  [author] 21 Jul @ 1:03pm 
It should support ace, and it should use any weapon mods you have loaded. Check the parameters to tell it to use ace medical and arsenal if you want those. It will ask which dlc/mods you want to use weapons from when the mission starts.
Aegis+ 21 Jul @ 10:52am 
Any support weapon mods? Is this support ace?
Skull  [author] 5 Sep, 2024 @ 9:23am 
If you want it even tougher, change the tasks to 'required'. :lunar2020gigglemonkey:
Loophole 3 Sep, 2024 @ 4:21am 
I like the addition of the optional task to unlock exits - a great idea! Mind you, it can be a bit rough if it puts it right next to an enemy spawn point! :-)

thanks skull!
Skull  [author] 14 Aug, 2024 @ 12:50pm 
@Shy Option to use faction gear instead of randomized level adjusted gear is in the game now.
Skull  [author] 12 Aug, 2024 @ 8:24am 
I'll add 'non randomized enemy gear' as an option. The reason they are randomized is that the game scales from low power to high power items as you progress through the zones. If you don't have randomized enemy gear, then you can get high level gear right from the start by killing an enemy. However, it should be pretty easy to add the option.

There should be stashes about. There is a picture (above here on the workshop page). Look for the picture that says 'Searchable Items'. Those are the things you would be looking for.
Shy 12 Aug, 2024 @ 6:44am 
would you add an option to make the weapons and gear wont get randomized for factions? also is it just me or i can't find any type of stashes anywhere?
mgguy56 31 Jul, 2024 @ 8:34pm 
Thx man
Skull  [author] 30 Jul, 2024 @ 8:47pm 
I've added the option for having 2 enemy factions. I didn't play with it too much, but I'm guessing it might be a little easier. Try it out and let me know how it plays (or if you find any bugs) :-)
mgguy56 19 Jul, 2024 @ 8:18am 
Looking forward to see it!
Skull  [author] 19 Jul, 2024 @ 5:11am 
Interesting idea. I'll add it to the ideas list I keep.
mgguy56 19 Jul, 2024 @ 2:38am 
Great scenario! Would be cool if there is a chance for 2 factions spawn into the zone and fight each other
Skull  [author] 14 Jun, 2024 @ 8:11am 
Thanks for catching that. I'll fix it.
Nideoth 14 Jun, 2024 @ 4:56am 
Hi, the mission looks really interesting, but i noticed a small bug: if you have stamina turned off in the parameters, it turns back on when you respawn. I think it can be fixed easily by calling "enableFatigue" every time player respawns, instead of only once.
Skull  [author] 8 Jun, 2024 @ 8:17pm 
Mission has been updated. Fixed some possible causes of hangs during starting.
Skull  [author] 5 Jun, 2024 @ 11:30am 
Easiest would be to join my discord server (https://discord.gg/xmEGUNUWUR) where you can post files. You could also put it in dropbox and share a dropbox link. Or send me a friend request and I can the DM you an email address.
Axle 4 Jun, 2024 @ 6:12pm 
How can I post my rpt?
Skull  [author] 4 Jun, 2024 @ 9:56am 
So clicking 'start mission' or 'cancel' don't do anything? How about pressing ESCAPE? If these don't work, I could look at your arma log file so see if any errors are reported. I just tried the published version of this mission (with no mods loaded) and it worked so it's not an obvious error.
Axle 3 Jun, 2024 @ 5:58pm 
I'm stuck on the choosing faction... screen. I've loaded this with no mods. Only vanilla Arma 3.
Frosty 8 Feb, 2024 @ 6:58pm 
oh ok i figured it out it was exile
Skull  [author] 8 Feb, 2024 @ 4:25pm 
Stuck in infinite loading is likely a conflict with a mod you are using. You could try removing all the mods, making sure it works okay, and then adding them back a few at a time to see which one is causing the issue.
Frosty 8 Feb, 2024 @ 9:57am 
why does it get me stuck in a infinite loading
Filip 18 Jan, 2024 @ 9:12am 
i know how to lunch, just wanted to ask if its possible :) many thanks!
Skull  [author] 18 Jan, 2024 @ 8:22am 
Yes. However, it runs under the muliplayer part of Arma, but you can create a LAN only host so it is only you playing. See the last two paragraphs of the game description above for details how to launch a solo game. No DLC is required to play this.
Filip 18 Jan, 2024 @ 6:35am 
is it possible to play singleplayer and without any DLC ?
SSG 11 Jan, 2024 @ 9:34am 
Sorry I didn't note that I was running Antistasi Plus/Extreme, must have been a fuss to find this problem...thank you!
Skull  [author] 11 Jan, 2024 @ 9:00am 
Yes, it was the AntistasiPlus mod that was causing the issue. It removes any money you pick up from your inventory, but this game uses money. It should be fixed now.
Skull  [author] 11 Jan, 2024 @ 8:12am 
I'll have to look into that. I have played this with the antistasi mod enabled.
SSG 11 Jan, 2024 @ 12:24am 
Confirmed: Antistasi will "confiscate" all cash notes in inventory, without that mod, cash will stay in inventory
SSG 10 Jan, 2024 @ 10:02pm 
Thanks for kind explanation, but regarding money:
In my first run I found quite a few "money (notes)" or "money (roll)", I picked them up, they disappear in my inventory, then when I went to the merchant in preparation phase for Zone 2, merchant still said I got no money...and with Antistasi loaded I noticed that in the top right corner of my inventory interface, the money amount bumped up.
I wonder if Antistasi intercepted the money items and broke your mission?
Skull  [author] 10 Jan, 2024 @ 7:04pm 
Yes, this is not like antistasi. You cannot buy or sell equipment. You can only buy first aid kits and ammunition with spare money you find. If you access the merchant to the right of the starting board you can see how much money to have to buy FAK or ammo. All other gear must be found in crates or looted from enemy. Extra gear can be saved in the stash to use later, like if you die and respawn with just a pistol.
SSG 10 Jan, 2024 @ 10:18am 
Hi, it seems that I am unable to sell any equipment, and all the "money" I pick up disappear from my inventory...is your mission incompatible with Antistasi Mod? I have that loaded.
Funniest Vurdalak 23 Dec, 2023 @ 10:32am 
Very many thanks!
Skull  [author] 23 Dec, 2023 @ 9:43am 
On the screen where you choose your role (right after choosing which mission to play, but before the mission starts) there is a button in the upper right that says 'parameters'. All the settings are there.
Funniest Vurdalak 23 Dec, 2023 @ 9:13am 
How can I open the your scenario settings?
Skull  [author] 21 Dec, 2023 @ 8:18am 
Yes I still make missions. I just published Escape From Turmoil last week. I published ROUT in October this year. I'm not working on any missions currently but will likely early next year. I'm also fixing issues in all the missions when someone points them out to me.
shtripka 21 Dec, 2023 @ 5:51am 
Skull, All right. Personally, I do not use ACE, as it is clogged with garbage and spoils the entire gameplay, especially since you can't waste time managing bots! I love such missions, I will test them, I will unsubscribe in bulk. By the way, do you still make them?
Skull  [author] 20 Dec, 2023 @ 6:11pm 
I don't understand the question. If you have a first aid kit (FAK are found on most enemies, small yellow item) you can heal yourself if you are wounded (normal Arma behavior). You start the game with one FAK if I remember correctly. It gets used up if you heal yourself. You need to find more on enemy you kill or in crates.

The game should allow you to revive a teammate who is unconscious without needing a first aid kit.

If you are using ACE3 medical, it's way more complex and I don't use ACE.

Does that answer your question? If it's not doing as expected let me know and I'll check if something got broken.
AzKogeki 20 Dec, 2023 @ 2:34pm 
how do you use any of the bandages cause it does not show up on the action menu
