Oh wow, thank you so much! I didn't know people were still playing it! That means a lot, I'm glad you had fun!

I wanna congrat with you for the scenario, i really like the story with all the intels hidden in the map, survival and investigation at the same time!

I think it'll have to be the (Replaced) version as the newer version has a lot of changes that I'd imagine might conflict with this mission

Can i use this with the newer version of VA? or does it have to be the (Replaced) version?

A friend sent me the link to the mod. It could be the M3mory mod that's causing it but I don't know for sure. As I don't have Arma 3 currently installed, all I can suggest is to try the mission without M3mory installed and see if it works then.

Hi! I haven't heard of that bug, but this mission is pretty old so there could be issues. I've also never heard of the "M3mory" mod before and I can't seem to find it on Google, so I don't know if there's an incompatibility or something.

OK thanks for the info.
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 14 Nov, 2022 @ 2:30pm 
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Ah, to clarify, these missions are pretty old. I haven't actually put in an end sequence or anything, you essentially end it when you stop playing, I guess I just assume your character leaves the region.

Another great mission, thanks, for anyone playing this and having memory issues try adding Halek's (the author of Ravage) M3mory Mod to your launcher, cuts down the savegame file size and actually works. Now my question, I have gathered 17 Intel Notes which I think is pretty much all of them, does the end mission sequence trigger automatically, if so i need to find the rest, or do I have to go somewhere to trigger it??
Jester 22 Mar, 2022 @ 5:46pm 
Thanks - I'll give it a shot.
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 22 Mar, 2022 @ 4:03pm 
Hey, thanks for leaving a comment! I really appreciate it when people do that, makes me happy to hear people enjoying my missions!

As for the save, I'm afraid I don't know any way to get it back if it's gone. You could try navigating to your usersaved or saved folders under Arma 3 in your Documents folder (on Windows) and backing it up, but I'm not sure if that'll be there or not, it's not for me, but I haven't played Arma in a while.

I rarely comment on Steam, but felt I had to here. Well done on a truly immersive, excellent mission. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Separately, a quick question: I got ~80% of the way through the mission and my PC crashed, losing my save game - do you reckon there's any way getting this back?
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 27 Jul, 2021 @ 12:01pm 
Thanks again, glad you liked it!
KingOfTheNoob 27 Jul, 2021 @ 9:04am 
Got it! Spectacular story I have to say.
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 27 Jul, 2021 @ 3:05am 
@KingOfTheNoob Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it.

I might add more zombies, but the more there are, the bigger the impact on performance and Esseker is already a resource hogging map for some people.

Yes that was a bonus!

Cars exploding is on purpose, it's a part of the Ravage mod to simulate people driving and crashing their cars or having them be destroyed in a gunfight I believe. It happens on every map I play with Ravage.
KingOfTheNoob 26 Jul, 2021 @ 8:53pm 
I have recently finished your mission(this one) and trying on other ravage missions that you made now.The story line was amazing and the experience? I was shaking in that cave! Anyway ,here are some advice from me:
1.More zombies
2. Their is a farm at the east side of the map.It have 3 documents in it! But there's no clue to that farm,so I'm a little bit confused.Maybe I missed something or it is just a bonus?I just found it bc a bunch of zombies showed of when I drove by.
3.Some cars exploded when I get into a mission area and I think it may due to bad placement (it may stuck into the ground and when it was start simulating it just blew up).It happens at the farm north of Kula,camp spencer and plava vrana in my case.
I will try to make it run in mp and gather my fellows to immerse. Thx for your great work!

:thumbsup:
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 1 Mar, 2021 @ 6:37am 
Awesome! You're welcome, and keep an eye for more from me. There's another mission in the works (though with college and other projects it might take a while)
Hotshot 1 Mar, 2021 @ 4:50am 
that I have :P
cheers and thx for the great mission!
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 28 Feb, 2021 @ 12:01pm 
Thanks for checking it out! Yeah, I think that's about it. Looks like you've got all the important documents there. There may be one final document... check out the giant tower to the south of where you start, the huge telecom tower. Somewhere up there is an entrance to a bunker, that's all I'll say
Hotshot 28 Feb, 2021 @ 10:00am 
Very awesome mission!

But I just have to ask; although the last(?) note might indicate such, I wanted to know, if these are the notes that need to be found, meaning I can leave now? (or try too^^):

Scout's Report

Mikail was bitten
Dr. Alice Majors - Three Days After Infection
Dr. Alice Majors - I've been bitten

Then I can't really help you, sorry. I've never heard of that happening
eatthisvr6 24 Dec, 2020 @ 1:58am 
nope nothing happens whatsoever, im sorry but theres no information to give you lol, i press play and it totally ignores me
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 23 Dec, 2020 @ 2:40pm 
@eatthisvr6 I'll need more information to go on. Did you get an error message?
eatthisvr6 23 Dec, 2020 @ 11:29am 
it wont even start fro me
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 25 Nov, 2020 @ 3:03pm 
I'm afraid I can't really help you with that. It's been so long since I've messed with mods for Arma 3 and I can't even remember how I got Real Light working on my version. Sorry!
Teo 25 Nov, 2020 @ 12:57pm 
Hi, I saw that you used real light, can you teach me how to install it? Because I followed tutorials but when I try to launch arma, it crashes saying STATUS_ACCES_VIOLATION. Please help!
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 21 Nov, 2020 @ 4:51pm 
I can neither confirm or deny any rumours of odd goings on in Esseker
stokotov 21 Nov, 2020 @ 3:30pm 
I mean I was passing through that camp (where I found the werewolves notes) near midnight and there were no zeds unlike daytime - that made me think some shit could happen there. I waited for midnight, then ran to the west to explore the safe house in the woods, met some zeds there, then returned to the camp - took me 2 Ravage hours. No signs of werewolves :)
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 21 Nov, 2020 @ 2:30pm 
Who knows ;)
stokotov 21 Nov, 2020 @ 1:27pm 
Are werewolves real AI or it's just Intel I have to collect?
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 16 Nov, 2020 @ 11:39am 
Yeah, stealing from traders backpacks ins considered theft by the AI and they'll attack you for it, that's a feature in Ravage. Glad you enjoyed the mission! And as for the cave; just run!
stokotov 16 Nov, 2020 @ 10:43am 
What to do with that crazy statue inside the Gromada caves? I never expected something like that to happen :-). Thank you for your mission anyway.
stokotov 16 Nov, 2020 @ 10:37am 
Only the necessary ones plus enhanced movement, TAW view distance and SSCP menu. I'm not sure about boxes now but it does happen when I steal items from backpacks of vendors instead of buying them ). The option "open backpack" is available. I don't consider that as a bug anyway ).
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 16 Nov, 2020 @ 4:37am 
What sort of mods are you using?
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 16 Nov, 2020 @ 4:32am 
Can't say I've ever heard of that happening. I loot the boxes there all the time and they've never attacked me before.
stokotov 16 Nov, 2020 @ 3:02am 
If I loot some boxes at the IDAP camp, where the missopn starts, my faction changes to raiders and blufor kills me. Anyone faced that?
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 27 Aug, 2020 @ 4:51am 
Hi! Glad you're enjoying the map! I'm afraid I don't know off-hand how to disable the player from the map. I don't think base Arma can do it, can it? I always thought it was an ACE feature
Lili Marleen 27 Aug, 2020 @ 1:38am 
Hello, I really, really appreciate the mod. I used to play Ravage Esseker but found that with nothing to do other than survive and AI aimlessly running around it got boring fast. This mission here is great in that it is much more customizable. I do have one problem though: I always see myself on the map, no matter the difficulty settings. Do you know how I can turn that off?
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 22 Aug, 2020 @ 3:51am 
If I remember correctly, I think I was intending the player to head to the Western most base that's on the map. I think that's where you need to go next.
Tatsuya 22 Aug, 2020 @ 3:11am 
Hey, I need your help with your mission at the place where the soldiers fled Rom igman in the barn near nebrashuk and found the note but don't know what to do next you can give me a hint
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 25 Jul, 2020 @ 2:14am 
Cool story bro
TDOG 24 Jul, 2020 @ 7:14pm 
crap half loot shit graphics and shit fps and my pc is high end have to play on standard graphics just to get good fps and hardy any loot
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 16 Jul, 2020 @ 12:01pm 
Should be in the settings under game or gameplay, something like that. There's a whole bunch of game options like adjusting AI aim and stuff
r3dn3ck8 16 Jul, 2020 @ 9:28am 
Oh ok I didn't know about that. Where can I find these settings?
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 16 Jul, 2020 @ 8:17am 
Yep, it's singleplayer. You probably need to adjust your game settings, sometimes it's set to delete saves after death
r3dn3ck8 16 Jul, 2020 @ 8:15am 
Hey, yeah so I have played a little but next day I couldn't load my saved game, it disappeared. We play this scenario in single player right?
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 15 Jul, 2020 @ 3:17pm 
You're welcome! Have fun!
r3dn3ck8 15 Jul, 2020 @ 2:47pm 
Oh thats perfect, thank you for the quick reply.
HyphenTorpedo  [author] 15 Jul, 2020 @ 11:26am 
Yep, save function works! All my missions are built with saving and loading in mind, even after you die
