WARFARE !!

This is a great addition to ArmA with the 1.14 patch
I am excited at the possibility that exists with USI and this new game mode.
It appears to be something that will be supported by by BIS



""Players must capture whole cities to gain resources that can be channelled into manufacturing even more weapons of war. Each side has one commander, who can build factories and defensive structures in and around their base. As long as they have enough money and resources, players can use these factories to build units, weapons and vehicles. Defensive structures can be used to defend bases and the units stationed there.

Players must take account of logistical considerations outside their bases and cities too as truck convoys ferrying supplies between settlements are vulnerable to attack. Players on each side are divided into a maximum of 16 teams. The commander can give these teams side missions and specify tasks or objectives, coordinating the entire side to ensure victory. This is war on a unprecedented scale, even for ARMA! ""

Thanks for all the responses people. A lot of hard work has gone into this mission and it's good to finally be able to share it with all of you. As the "1.0" indicated this certainly won't be the final incarnation of Warfare, so bug reports and gameplay feedback are certainly welcome.

But we have far bigger plans in store than just a few bug fixes. Head over to the Developer's Blog to get a first glimps of what's to come

check out this mod of WARFARE. the AI are supposed to be tougher!

WARFARE ADV AI v1.31

available on the "USI WHOREHOUSE ARMA server"

I want to try this, but I was confused about no ai supply/salvage? Does that mean no need for supply/salvage or does it have to be player controlled? Player controlled is fine with me, I like the support/supply corps role

1.3

I agree that the supply trucks are both fun and can create unecessary lag.

a comment from one of the authors about this...

I am working on version 1.4, I have rewritten the supply truck script and am working out problems with that. It is now an sqf function which reduces lag significantly. (Lag is much less than in Stock Warfare 1.1)

I guesss I can modify the server config and edit the AI strength instead of trying this, but I was interested in the ai being tougher without making them one shot laser sniper killers with an ak at 1km

I am certainly willing to try this version, and we can see if the supply situation is automatic or if we have to run them.
I was thinking about why ai controlled supply trucks and salvage trucks stop running....it isn't because they are lost, it's because they are out of fuel! Perhaps if we build either an empty fuel truck at the main or an ai squad member fuel truck, the ai supply trucks will continue to run...I hope they are smart enough to refuel off of a refuel truck!
Posting this idea on bi forums

this game just sounds way to cool thats it i'm going to update and play right now!

join up sometime!

Here is a solution to one of the problems we are having with the OFP islands version of warfare. I will edit the mission tonight and make it available to Zig for use on the ArmA Whorehouse

To fix the error at the top of the screen on mission start:

\common\config\config_structures.sqs line 215:
was Code Sample
_t = _t= r= + [0]
change to Code Sample
_t = _t + [0]

Here is the solution to the fast travel bug:
From the Warfare editing guide:

Code:

Town depots (yellow object icons) – These buildings are located near the center of each town, acting as the capture point that determines who controls the town.
Name: Same name as the town in which the depot is located
Executes script: [this,"<town name>",[<bordering town 1>,<bordering town 2>, ... ],["<Resistance defense team 1>","<Resistance defense team 2>", ...],<optional town size value>] Exec "Server\Config\Config_Town.sqs"


The town depot names were changed, but not the BORDERING town names...they still have saralite names. After I changed a couple, the "bug" went away.
