Persistent: ALIVE/Patrol Ops Mission

[Hatchet_AS]

Just real quick, firstly appreciate the doing and whatnot Robalo. The mission as a whole is really pretty awesome currently. But as with anything persistent it'll need tweakage and the like. So this post is to address tweakage thoughts/ideas/concerns.

A couple things off the top of my head:
- Revive/Medical system. It's truly broken and exploitable. Not sure what all is involved, but when injured and doing the 'moving around firing without sights' thing.. AI shoot at you, but can not kill you. It breaks even further sometimes, where you can jump up and run around and all that. The additional getting massively injured from many things that you wouldn't normally is kind of annoying. Not being able to treat yourself, or at least help a buddy has left us in less than enjoyable spots several times already.

- HALO, would be nice to jump from 5k or so. Have some time to practice formation diving, or at least get people on track with a little more time in the air.

- Vehicles, all is pretty awesome less the respawning quads. Maybe we can just add a few more that don't (i'll look at it if you don't mind Rob). Also, perhaps having the larger MH-47 type bird available would be useful.

About all I have for now, really been fun with all the tasks and systems working. Still a little laggy, but not 100% confident BIS didn't bork things on the last patch.

For the mission framework / patrol ops issues, requests should go to the author here first: https://dev-heaven.net/projects/patrol-ops/issues
There will be tweaking indeed.

Uploaded version 2c which takes care of all the above except medical system, which is part of the PO3/MPSF framework. For that one, we will either wait for it to be fixed or we'll replace it with another system. There are still a few out there which I haven't tried yet (Xmedsys, Cupcake, BTC - newer versions, more ACE-like). Also re-enabled some ALIVE spawns, hopefully it won't put the server on it's knees.

Adapted the heli extras scripts for Arma3 and integrated. Should give us all the control we were lacking for AI pilots - precise LZ, order to land, set flying height. AI Recruiting is done via Alive self-interaction key (App key). They will spawn at the barracks in the base.

Thanks again Robalo!

I looked at all those revive mods. I could not really understand the German mod because the english was so broken and I could not see the UI. The cupcake mod was....well I did not like it. BTC seemed to be the best as we have used it before and we seemed to get along with it without much complaint. I vote for BTC.

Cheers Rob. Will try out later tonight

Uploaded modded v3a with a slight tweak: "setcaptive true" instead of "allowdamage false" for unconscious units.

[Hatchet_AS]

That might work a bit better, hope to see some people around today/tomorrow.

Optimized heli scripts, removed intro, removed redundant unit markers and the fired EH.
