Description:
ALIVE is the next generation dynamic persistent mission addon for ArmA3. Developed by Arma community veterans, the easy to use modular mission framework provides everything that players and mission makers need to set up and run realistic military operations in almost any scenario up to Company level, including command, combat support, service support and logistics.
ALiVE is a dynamic campaign mission framework. The editor placed modules are designed to be intuitive but highly flexible so you can create a huge range of different scenarios by simply placing a few modules and markers. The AI Commanders have an overall mission and a prioritised list of objectives that they will work through autonomously. Players can choose to tag along with the AI and join the fight, take your own squad of AI or other players and tackle your own objectives or just sit back and watch it all unfold.
Mission makers may wish to experiment by synchronizing different modules to each other, or using standalone ALiVE modules as a backdrop for dynamic missions and campaigns, enhancing scenarios created with traditional editing techniques. ALiVE can significantly reduce the effort required to make a complex mission by adding ambience, support and persistence at the drop of a module.
Main Features:
-ALiVE features the revolutionary Virtual Profile System that supports thousands of units operating simultaneously across the map with minimal impact on performance. Unlike older caching systems, Virtual AI groups will continue to move, operate and fight and will seamlessly spawn into the visual game world when players are in range.
-ALiVE identifies key military, industrial and civilian installations automatically for any map. It uses an advanced, multi-layered AI Operational Command structure which assesses the strategic, operational and tactical situation across the battlespace, analyses the relative strengths of enemy and friendly forces and issues missions accordingly. The result is a fluid, dynamic and credibly realistic battlefield as forces modelled on real world Combined Arms doctrines fight for key objectives.
-The second generation Persistent Campaign system is still work in progress but will automatically retain mission critical data on an external database without any user installations required - no need for complicated MySQL databases, it is all handled completely automatically! Alpha: The current release has an interim player persistence module in place.
ALiVE integrates with the ALiVEmod.com website and War Room platform, which tracks operations in near-realtime and provides powerful analytical tools to review every kill and every shot fired. Registration for the War Room will be opening soon.
-ALiVE also provides a variety of popular Player Support utilities such as an integrated Support Radio Suite for AI controlled Combat and Combat Service Support, View Distance, AI Skill and Multispawn Manager. Alpha provides basic functionality and more options will be added in due course.
-The intuitive, easy to use modular framework means mission making with ALiVE is quick and easy, even if you have never opened the editor before. Simply place modules down and play. ALiVE can be used completely stand alone or as part of more complex missions and scripts.
