A3AE - Antistasi Extension for Northern Fronts

Note: this mod extension is still a WIP, and will be a subject to changes. Currently tested with only the listed dependecies - may or may not work with others. Almost certainly will not work well with any other Antistasi extensions and templates than the ones in this extension + Spearhead 1944 DLC.

In addition to the listed dependencies, you will also need the Spearhead 1944 DLC or its Compatibility Data. (Only one of these is needed - latter will give some restrictions for the player, but will work)


Playable factions:
- FDF Summer 1944
- FDF Winter 1939-1940
- FDF Winter 1944
- Finnish Civil Guard (Summer 1939)
- Norwegian Resistance
- Norwegian Resistance Winter
- Danish Resistance (very early WIP)
- Karelian Resistance (Semi-fictional)
- Estonian Forest Brothers
- Czheckoslovakian Resistance (When CSA38 is loaded)

Enemy factions:
- USSR Summer 1944
- USSR Summer 1939
- USSR Winter 1939-1940
- USSR Winter 1944/45
- USSR Naval Infantry
- Wehrmacht Winter
- Wehrmacht 1939 (When CSA38 is loaded)

Civilian factions:
- Karelian Civilians
- Karelian Civilians winter
- Norwegian Civilians
- Norwegian Civilians Winter
- Danish Civilians (WIP)
- Estonian Civilians
- Czheckoslovakian Civilians (When CSA38 is loaded)

Maps:

- NF Karelia
- NF Svartmarka (Same as Karelia, but with Norwegian names for places)
- NF Talvivaara
- NF Svartmarka Winter

Other:

- Logistics system for various new vehicles and weapons
- Custom damage modifier for players as there is no body armors in Northern Fronts
- Custom flag mapmarkers for FDF, USSR and Karelians
- AI characters will have their names decided by their nationality
- More varied target and escort vehicles for convoy and destroy/steal armor missions
- Some shenanigans to make the gloves occupying the NVG slot visible during daytime on the winter templates
- Progressive gear unlocks for each playable faction - nothing too gamebreaking, only some small arms and other stuff
- Other small stuff
- Works with Spearhead 1944 Antistasi faction templates
- Works with FDF voice-over mod (mostly, see "Optional Mods" below for details)
- When ACRE2 is used, rebels will get only the AN/PRC-77 to simulate older, heavier and more limited radios of WW2


REQUIRES:
- Antistasi - The Mod
- CBA_A3
- Northern Fronts
- Northern Front Terrains
- CUP Terrains - Core
- IFA3 AIO
- Spearhead 1944 DLC (or its compatibility data)

OPTIONAL MODS:
- ACRE2: can be used to simulate more realistic radio communications in-game. Rebels will get only the AN/PRC-77 radio to be used, other ACRE radios are not found in the starting arsenal.
- FDF voice-over: when loaded, the FDF and Karelian rebels will use Finnish voices. Seems to have some problems with file signatures and AI not using the radio voicelines sometimes, so because of that this is only an optional mod and default Arma 3 English voices will be used when this mod is not loaded.
- ACE and ACE No Medical: Should work just fine, but not thoroughly tested by me yet.
- Flying Legends: adds more aircraft to FDF and German factions when used
- Secret Weapons Reloaded: adds more aircraft to USSR and German factions
- CSA38: adds 3 new CSA38 themed factions when loaded

KNOWN BUGS:
- Roadblocks with the sandbag shelters spawn the AI-manned HMGs and AT guns pointing at wrong direction when using USSR as faction
- Spec Ops mission is marked as a success immediately when a player enters inside their spawn distance, but the Spec Ops squad will still be in the area it is meant to be and can be fought against
- 81mm Finnish mortars won't work with AI mortar squads - replaced temporarily with 50mm mortars


Future additions:
- Making the 37mm and 45mm AT guns to be able to be loaded into the cargo space of larger trucks after their mass is corrected (currently at around 500 metric tons which leads to some hilarious Arma physics moments)
- Map for the Danish Resistance campaign, Bornholm Revamped
- (Optional) Bicycle for the rebel factions, if I can find a suitable mod somewhere


Extra thanks to the Northern Fronts crew for their awesome mod and patience with my neverending bug reports!
