Considering setting up an ALiVE server

[Uncreated Lemon]

Hey all,

Theres a bunch of servers out there currently with LIBERATION, Invade and Annex game modes, I love to make ALiVE missions and have been considering hosting a server that uses one of them for public players in the 2035 lore.

My concern, is that I haven't seen any public alive servers running, does anyone know why? Is it due to mod conflicts / people not having the right mods installed?

Cheers,

I have asked myself that same question. For me, there is nothing like ALiVE. All these modes you cited seem "static" before it.

Agreed! I wonder if it's a performance concern for public servers

Keep me informed if you put this server up!

ALiVE is very useful if you want to slap together a mission quickly, but it does have issues. If you are not concerned with the placement of vehicles, or if you don't have many areas where you need to use a marker to keep civilians out, then ALiVE works fine - most of the time.

However, if you want more control over where civilians appear and where they can go, then using the Civilian Presence (which comes with the Tac-Ops DLC) is a better choice. The down side to using Civilian Presence is that it takes longer to set up than using ALiVE.
