AO is a module-based whole-map dynamic campaign generator for SP/COOP Arma 3. It generates enemy forces, ambient civilians and 1 of 18 objective types each mission. Campaign progress is automatically saved at the end of a mission.

To win the campaign, players must 100+ victory points (from killing enemies and completing missions). Killing an enemy troop gives .5 points, completing a mission gives 10 points. There is also a "Political Will" rating which is reduced by civilian casualties and failed missions. If it reaches zero, the campaign will be failed.

The system works on any map (except if very small or there are no roads or no enterable buildings) and can be used with any faction.

FEATURES:
SP or COOP (1 to XX players)
18 mission types (Patrol, Urban Patrol, Defence, Sweep, Demo, SEAD, Assault, Downed Aircraft, Search And Rescue, QRF, Destroy Convoy, HVT, Destroy Squad, Destroy Vehicle, Search And Destroy, Seize Intel, Deliver, Assassinate)
Any map, any faction
Excellent replayability
Very easy to customise
Enemy foot and vehicle patrols, occupied towns, IEDs, static weapons, garrisoned building, roadside ambushes
Optional ambient civilian foot and road traffic
Optional friendly foot and vehicle patrols
Optional Air Mode allows playing the whole campaign as a helo/jet pilot
Missions can be aborted at the aoBase object

This mod is out of date and has been replaced by Drongo's Map Population. DMP has way more features, better code and works with ALiVE and HAL NR6.
pablo.g.salto May 16, 2021 @ 10:21pm 
Can I use this with ALiVE?

Does this mission require a database, also can this be used on a Linux dedicated server?

Is the mod not compstible with the RHSPKL map? I get an error when I stat AO on the map.
SeaCow-52 Jan 3, 2021 @ 1:21pm 
I thought I tried that, but couldn't find anything. Yes, I know it is no longer supported, and have started using the DMP, and just now learning it. Tnx
Drongo  [author] Jan 3, 2021 @ 1:01pm 
Through the standard inventory option (once he is dead). I would recommend using DMP though, this mod is no longer supported.

Question on searching the HVT for intel: I know how to arrest and interrogate with "TAB", but how do I search? I cannot find the option to search his body. Once, I couldn't even find his body after he was eliminated by a teammate.
Drongo  [author] Oct 10, 2020 @ 5:09pm 
That means the mod can not read some necessary config values from the map. Anyway, this mod is not supported anymore, please use Drongo's Map Population instead.
