Mission makers may wish to experiment by synchronizing different modules to each other, or using standalone ALiVE modules as a backdrop for dynamic missions and campaigns, enhancing scenarios created with traditional editing techniques. ALiVE can significantly reduce the effort required to make a complex mission by adding ambience, support and persistence at the drop of a module.
Arma 3 Alive Missions
Yes, we will be including an optional Player Task Generator for those who want more directed content within the ALiVEsandbox. This is in early stages of development but the intent is for OPCOM to provide relevant but specialist tasks for the player that will enhance the overall war effort, rather than just random side missions.
I've thought about this myself as well... some basic templates covering the various possibilities with ALiVE. I know there are demo missions that cover this but I was thinking well-documented templates with notes for the mission maker.. perhaps a basic mission structure with description.ext, init.sqf, etc. Something that can be taken and tailored to each users needs.
Alright here is the first template to give an idea of what will be going on. This one covers a simple conventional vs conventional war where NATO and CSAT go head to head. It comes with some useful features such as VAS,BIS Arsenal, Selectable Assault missions (from ALiVE wiki), a few other things and a already done description.ext and init.sqf with some useful links aswell. Of course all of this should be edited to the needs of the user. I have also included a readme.txt with some tutorial-like information on how to use ALiVE and how to understand this mission. I should probably just make a more in-depth tutorial with the information I put in there since most of it is beginner information and the formatting in notepad is a little bit crazy lol.
Just note I am not a scripting genius myself but I have developed a solid foundation of understanding for use in my own missions so I can put some basic things together. Try to bear through my attempted formatting in notepad aswell..
Thanks for the feedback, and yeah I'll probably use this in a lot of my own missions so I can implement it in the templates aswell. One thing I'm wondering about.. do you think that a lot of this info would work better in a video, if so I could try to make a video that accompanies each template to better explain how it all fits together
