3 Commando Brigade

I guess you are missing what it was actually about. But like Apollo said. Let us drop this for now and hope that stuff like that will not happen in the future like this.

Err, that thing happened before that.

Actually the server had to be restarted before you came on and we both were in the same squad.

So much for that.

We're pushing the boundaries a bit to see what the server can take in terms of enemy numbers.

Also there are a multitude of different ways to configure @Alive - invasion/occupation, constant/blocked logistical resupply, predominantly infantry/mechanised/motorised/armoured, customised objectives etc, the list goes on. Some maps seem to be better optimised for @Alive than others, especially regarding road systems for reinforcements.

Small changes in the Alive modules make large changes to game play. This mission went through some fairly major tweakage during initial play testing to get the desired results, so it's good to hear that it's proving fun to play on.

Here are some details about the @Alive module settings on the current mission (Operation Ursus) for those interested:

Virtual AI System
Spawn distance: 800m
Spawn limiter: 35 (groups); at average 6 per group this can lead to around 200+ ai simultaneously spawned

Military AI Commander
Control Type: Occupation
Reinforcements: Constant

Mil Placement (Mil Obj.)
Force Size: 1200
Force Weighting: Light Infantry
Random Camps: None (to reduce objective count)

Mil Placement (Civ Obj.)
Force Size: 800
Force Weighting: Light Infantry
Roadblocks: High

Military Logistics
Reinforcement Type: Static
Force Pool: 1000
All types allowed, except planes

Military CQB
Locality: Headless Client
Type: Civilian
Locations: Complete Map
Probability: 10%
Density: medium
AI amount: pair
Spawn Ground: 800m

Pretty sure that the server issue was Hotfixed the same day that 1.40 was released. BUT I've not seen it try to update... no idea what's going on there.

SJ I haven't really had time to follow the dedi server hotfix threads - would you mind just letting me know when it's ok to put the Wildcat's back on please?

Will do will need testing

I still don't think it's right or people wouldn't be asking online ?

Yeah this is a known issue Gav, thanks. The problem is that there's no easy way to get a vehicle's capacity (you'd think it would be a simple definition in the config, but nope). Could possibly modify the script to use the AGM logistics rather than vanilla inventory (assuming AGM correctly defines capacities).

For me that's one of those Arma things that just don't need fixing...

If you put it in AGM space - which is relatively limited btw - most people will not realise it's in there..

In real - life troops over-load their kit, their vehicles, all the time... you do what you have to do... When it breaks you blame someone else in the Engineering team

Thanks gav, yes, we knew about it. But like SJ says, we didn't really worry too much about it as there's no easy peasy solution.
Players can just exercise constraint on how many times they push the load button.

EXACTLY !!
