Nobody? 

So, Ciro has been working hard for a long time on a custom VG Arma 3 Framework mission that is very, very cool.  Since he's gotten busy, it's been on the back burner, and I've been poking him with pointy things now and then to see if he could get it onto the server soon.

I'll drop some teasers here - in order to be able to run even without mods, he has scripted many things that would otherwise require mods directly into the mission itself.  The concept is that you are a solder at a base, you walk up to the commander to get missions, and these can be accomplished with varying numbers of players, making objectives clear as well as dynamic.  One final addition has held up finalization, including a monetary income system, but we discussed the bad idea of 'paying soldiers to kill' so ideas were thrown around to change the details of how that would work (like an interval instead of based on K/D or points), what money could be spent on, etc. etc.

Here's some details on the table -*subject to change*- this should be out very soon, I'll continue poking him with pointy things whenever I get a chance - I don't think he knows yet how many people will love his hard work:

Okay i'll start documenting the scripts used in the framework, will take me a couple of days then i'll pass it over.

For mods though ... concerns include...  Pilling mods upon mods taxes the server diskspace and deters players from joining, i tend to do a lot with scripts rather than mods and with that maintain a smaller footprint than mods also scripts should work with all mods / terrains well all i have tested

for instance:

i want Guerillawarefare-style mod features including :

• ACRE   (Mod)
• Inventory system like Exile  (Scripted in FW)
• vehicle salvage system (remove parts to repair vehicles)
• vehicle repair and fuelsystem (Scripted in FW)
• crafting system (IED's, create bombcars) (Scripted in FW)
• basebuildingsystem that is restricted to the Team/HQ or outpost/firebases (Scripted in FW)
• coin-/moneysystem (Scripted in FW BUT with current iniDb2 issue)
• blackmarket (like Trader- or smugglingsystem to get better equipment) (Scripted in FW)
• COS system (prevent killing innocents/civilians or get punished) (Scripted in FW)
• covert ops missions (Scripted in FW)
• diving is a must. Best Arma 3 feature in my opinion . Like it much. (Vanilla)
• medical aid system, revive system (Scripted in FW)
• survival mechanics (hunting, cooking, food, drinks) (Scripted in FW not implimented in any senario i use)
• crashsites to get adequate weapons or better loot (Scripted in FW)
• looting bodys (because you need ammo, radiocomms or whatever equipment that is usefull) (Scripted in FW)

SO - rather than using a popular mission that other servers run, the idea is to have this unique gem of a mission framework by Ciro, it is even suitable for group events, with no further scripting even necessary.  Coming soon to VG!!

I played this with ciro. The money thing he said he was removing but it looked really good. I think that would be perfect. I forgot about it lol. Thx sem. 

If you want an honest opinion, Arma3 is too complicated for new players me included. I spend most of my time fighting with the controls, setting up kits, and needing to ask people how to do this and that. I've done tutorials and it doesn't help so I walk away from it to something a lot easier like PR. I already fly BMS and that is complicated enough so it puts me off playing ARMA when ever we have an event and a whole lot more shit gets added. Couldn't we have a basic vanilla set up that we can just fight missions without all the extra modding?

I got a message from =VG= Speirs.

He told me that he's hard working on creating missions. He invited me to test some of his missions in a small group.

I will talk with him to get him back online but his reallife needs almost all his attention.

I think with Ciro, Blizzard, Sausage and Speirs we could build up a good A3 crew for Veterans-Gaming.
