Dynamic Recon Ops - Normandy

Description
mbrdmn's excellent DRO mission, ported to Spearhead 1944's Normandy by UselessFodder

Dynamic Recon Ops is a randomised, replayable scenario that generates an enemy occupied AO with a selection of tasks to complete within. Select your AO location, the factions you want to use and any supports available or leave them all randomised and see what mission you are sent on.

Designed to be simple to use but with plenty of options to customise your mission setup, the objective behind DRO is to create a way to quickly get playing a new scenario in singleplayer or co-op. With as few changes to the base game as possible, DRO aims to showcase the unique and varied gameplay that Arma 3 has to offer for smaller scale infantry combat.

Additionally, DRO has been designed from the ground up to take advantage of faction mods. If you have any mods that create new factions they will be selectable as player or enemy sides within the mission. However, the scenario itself requires no mods apart from specific terrains if you want to use them.

Features
  • Playable in SP or COOP
  • Dynamic scripting means that no two missions are the same
  • Menu on startup to select a variety of options including time of day and insertion type
  • Revive system that takes visual cues from BIS revive but is fully AI compatible and works in both MP and SP
  • Virtual Arsenal to select starting loadout for both player and AI units
  • 'Reset AI' diary entry to unstick AI units
  • 30mins - 1hr 30mins duration

@Blaksmiff So I did some testing and I found out that I can't get Combined Arms to work even on the vanilla Altis DRO without crashing. There may be an issue in the code base that is beyond the port.

I'll keep looking into it.

@Gunn & @SpartanViperz I have uploaded a fix for the issues you were seeing in regards to vehicles and Combined Arms mode. Please check and see if it's working for you now

@SpartanViperz There is an issue with the vehicle loading script due to there not being any Car type vehicles defined for US Army. Combined Arms won't finish loading because of this issue

Just tried this today and I can't seem to get it to work. I was trying the Combined Arms game mode, I set my settings and get to the Squad loadout screen, I configure my squad and my own gear and then choose to continue.

At which point, I can take control of my character in the Spawn screen area but my guys cannot move and I have no audio etc... Like I'm not being teleported to the AO correctly. very odd.

Not sure what I am doing wrong :(

@Gunn Just looked into the vehicles thing and the issue is substantially more complex than I realized. Short version is that the scenario can't detect any "car' type vics for the US Army, but still tries to spawn some. I might be able to fix it, but until then I suggest just doing HALO insertion

Absolutely cracks me up that my squad arrives in a CH-49 Mohawk along with 2 Mk20C rifles in 1944...

Also I just noticed the Combined Arms mode has no audio and the ground spawns seem buggy because the vehicles spawn blown up :(
