How to edit internal variables[www.patreon.com]

BASIC USE
  1. Place a DMP Core module at the center of your desired AO
  2. Select the desired AO size (values larger than the map will not go out of map bounds)
  3. Place a Define Faction module
  4. Adjust the composition options
  5. Place the desired units and vehicles you wish to make up the faction within 200 meters of the Define Faction module
  6. Upon mission start, the system will read and delete the units and use their classNames as the basis for spawning groups
  7. If no units are placed, the module will default to a simple NATO force

Note: It is a good idea to right click on all placed units, go to Attributes > Special States and uncheck all boxes.

For more control about which classNames are used, set the rank of units according to this list:

COLONEL: Leaders/HVTs
MAJOR: Pilots
CAPTAIN: Vehicle crew
SERGEANT: Squad leader

Units with "pilot" or "helicrew" in their classname will be added to pilots
Units with "crew" in their classname will be added to vehicle crew
Units with "iconmanleader" as their icon will be squad leaders


KNOWN BUGS
Camps sometimes spawn close to roads
Garrison units and crates sometimes spawn under floors

Composition by Pākehā to help with set up


HOW TO REPORT BUGS
If you encounter a problem, first try using the demo mission with no other mods loaded. If that works, then start adding mods until you find the conflict, then report the conflict. Vague reports such as "it doesn't work" or "I got a script error" are impossible for me to troubleshoot. Please provide specific information such as map and mods used, exact error messages, screenshots, etc.

anyone know how to get the loot modules working

Cheers man

Thanks for your quick reply. It is sad to hear that you have stopped modding, as you have created so many great mods in the past. Thanks and good luck to you!

I'm not really modding anymore. Look at Misery by TenuredCLOUD for a much better survival system.
DMW Nov 12 @ 4:41am 
@Drongo - Would it be possible to limit the RPG part to work only on a certain area on the map? For example only on land areas and not over water. Also do yoiu have any plans to ever expand the RPG part or make it into a separate mod?

I don't know anything about HC, but the group AI scripts will be local to where the AI group is local.

@xSlykiller
Make a faction with the same setup as your virtual faction, but only give it a small amount of groups. These will be picked up for missions.

@RuSS
What do you mean by not working?
RuSS Oct 27 @ 9:51am 
How can I prevent 2 factions to spawn in the same area? I tried using the Faction AO module but nothing is really working
xSlykiller Oct 23 @ 8:49am 
Trying to use the mission generator with the virtual faction module, with the "clear" mission, it will assign the mission but because nothing is spawned yet (due to the virtual faction module being use) it will automatically clear the mission as succeeded. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this an issue with the modules themselves?
SpooNNNeedle Oct 10 @ 11:00pm 
I would really like to offload a lot of the units from this mod onto headless clients, do you know how I would go about doing that? It'd save big time on performance for my semi-persistent missions.
Hoomi Oct 9 @ 7:56pm 
Vehicles like cars, tanks, and apc's are stuck for some reason in the middle of the road, and don't move, is there any fix for this?
