Thats great to hear dude! Recently I was thinking about possibly coming back to editing sometime but I'm not too sure yet since I'm too invested/distracted by other games. Thats awesome though dude glad its still working properly

Yeah dude we were using it two weekends ago it was a blast! I put down a Zeus module and everything put down a few helicopter crashes and along with ur missions we are having a great time. We stopped cause of BF6 and one of the mods I added broke the mission cause I was dumb lol. But this weekend we’re gonna give ur esseker one a shot we’re super excited! Might mess around with updating it to VA 3.0 if I get the time. Appreciate the response dude it’s a great mission!

I dont believe it would be too difficult although I haven't used VA 3.0 in a long time, so I'm not sure how different its systems are in comparison to VA 2.0.

On a side note, does this mission still run okay for you? I haven't updated it in a few years and was curious if everything still worked properly or not.

Would it be hard to update theis for VA 3.0 if we wanted too do it ourselves?

It should save automatically every 30 seconds or something like that. You have Vandeanson Apocalypse and the @Inidbi 2 mod enabled when you play right? And make sure its the older version of VA, not the newer one

does it save automatically upon exiting? or only after a set period of time? ive done the guide (possibly incorrectly lol)

thanks mate

@Colonel Moore:


Thats listed in the description above. Under Important Information (blue text).

Couldnt get the link to work in this comment for some reason.

how to save?

No problem glad you got it sorted

Alright, i used VA with your config file and it definitely is better, with loose loot in almost every house. Thanks

You have to enable the Dynamic Loot feature in the VA settings first. Otherwise loot wont spawn in any houses. I wrote a guide on how to do that, its under "Other Info".

Loot is pretty scarce in Ravage by default. You can only find stuff off AI, like you said. The loot issue is one of the primary reasons I use VA nowadays.

Hello @Extazz -

This was mentioned in the description:

"Loot does NOT spawn on the ground in this mission by default. You have to find loot by searching crates and furniture or by finding it off killed AI. If you want loot to spawn on the ground (which I HIGHLY recommend), you have to use "Vandeanson's Apocalypse" and enable its "Dynamic Loot" feature. Check out the "VA Settings" document under "Vandeanson's Apocalypse Settings" to know how to do this."

I also tried to play on Livonia, it seems the problem is the same eveywhere.

Tried again with Cup Interiors + Vandeason's apocaypse to see if there was any changes. Loot amount is pretty much non-existent.

Loot balance is a regular problem in Ravage missions, especially if they are made to be multiplayer. You need to make sure there is enough loot for (almost) everyone to be able to play, while still keep the survival part (hunger, first, diseases and wounds, lack of ammo) interesting.

Hello,
When playing with basic needed mods (Ravage, Cup core unit weapons, Cba) there is almost no loot whatsoever :
- 9 out of 10 containers i search are empty (wrecks, dirt piles, trashcans, closets, lockers, kitchens...).
- No loose loot anywhere.

So the only way is to kill scavs. But population seems very low. Only scavs i found in 30min were INDEP and not hostile to me, i still killed them because i was hungry, and in need of a bag.
There should be other ways, for players who don't want to KOS.

Np and glad you got it working

Awesome, thank you for the help. I've got it working in the editor now.

Glad you're enjoying the mission, also:


In order to load the mission through the editor you would have to de-pbo the mission and put the mission folder in your "mpmissions" folder.


1: Create a new folder on your desktop to house the mission files. You'll need this shortly.

2: Install PBO Manager https://github.com/winseros/pboman3/releases

3: Open PBO Manager, then click the green "Open File" button on the top left of the window.

4: Browse to "Documents/ArmA 3 - Other Profiles/yourusername/Saved/steamMPMission"

^^If you didn't make another profile in ArmA 3 before, then it would be "Documents/ArmA 3/yourusername/Saved/steamMPMission" instead (I believe)

5: Double-click on the mission folder and then double-click on the .pbo file. Click the expand button in order to see all the contents of the mission.

6: Shift-click to highlight everything in the mission folder. Right-click then select "Extract all". Extract to the folder on your desktop that was mentioned earlier.

7: Now just rename the folder that's on your desktop to:

WickedLands.chernarusredux

You can change the name if you'd like, but make sure there's no spaces. "chernarusredux" is all lower-case.


8: Put this folder in your "mpmissions" folder:

"Documents/ArmA 3 - Other Profiles/yourusername/mpmissions"


9: Go back into ArmA 3 and you should now be able to open this mission in the editor (if you dont see the option then double-check that you selected this version and not the Steam one

Really enjoying this so far, just a few QoL tweaks I wanna make and extra modules I'd like to put in.

I don't see "3D Editor" after selecting your mission in MP, does that only work for locally-downloaded missions or is there a way to edit Workshop missions too?

Update will still be coming in the near future, I've been busy/distracted with other things as of late.

@all -

I still plan on looking into GRAD with @TenuredCloud soon. I'm also still looking into trader safezones as well. The next update will probably be a bit further out this time, and will in all likelihood, include those two features.

Also, I'm aware of a possible bug with the dynamic weather script, particularly a bug that can occur during foggy conditions (it manifests as a white line on the screen). I'll also be looking into that.

Stay tuned.

@all -

I'm aware of some issues after the most recent update, such as INDIBI2 not saving player positions, and the give money script not working properly. These problems will all be addressed ASAP, either later today or tomorrow.

Also, in order to sell stuff at the traders, remember to click the drop down menu on the UPPER RIGHT of the screen. I thought the script was broken until I realized that the drop down menu was even there.

Here's a video explaining it (I included a link to the video in the FAQ as well):

@Cammo Freak Thanks man, glad you and your friends like the mission

Hey man this is really well done. Me and my friends have been trying to bring back the OG Dayz feel and this does it! Thanks
