Dead's Overthrow Beta

A WIP overhauled version of my port of port of Overthrow with a long list of new features and improvements.

The Github for the mod, along with a wiki, can be found HERE.[github.com] In this wiki I have written a very important and very handy guide on how to properly set up the mod and play it HERE.[github.com]

for an actual description of the mod/mission, view the main mod HERE.

Current Summery of changes to this version from the main one:

• New menus to make inventory management and shopping much easier. Improved menus in many other areas, adding search bars where needed, or giving more information in a prettier format.
  
• Modified ARMA base assets such as containers, vehicles, and buildings for use in managing the in-game economy.
  
• Warehouse inventories are now local to towns and have limited space. Building more warehouse buildings in a town gives more space.
  
• New missions.
  
• Interface UI now tells you if your "Visible" (NATO will turn hostile on sight) or carrying contraband (Nato will turn hostile on search.)
  
• Added random NATO searches, the frequency of which is based off the stability and size of the town
  
• Added clarity to NATO searches, hopefully notifying the player when the search is "nullified" (I.e the NATO member searching them has died/became distracted)
  
• Overhauled gang system. (Now will give various benefits for high reputation)
  
• A (best effort) at a dynamic vehicle camouflage/painting system.
  
• Additional crafting recipes, along with more "upgradable" vehicles
  
• Redone economy logic
  
• Integration with ACE fortification modules (sand bags, trenches, fox holes)
  
• Compatibility with cDLC and other popular ARMA workshop mods.
  
• Improvements/fixes to virtualization and spawning scripts which should improve performance.
  
• Re-coded furniture spawning logic, results in much more reliable and efficient spawning. (No more sharp chairs from hell)
  
• Rework some skills, added a few new ones
  
• Added "hand holding" to NATO patrols (to make sure they reach the area there supposed to investigate)
  
• Resolved countless memory leaks (I.e Dead bodies not de-spawning, NATO not being virtulized properly)
  
• Many other things, most of which are [should be] documented in the beta branch's change notes.

Features currently TBD:

• Redo spawning and virtualization logic to work in "waves" to drastically reduce lag/units on the map at any one point
  
• "Virtualize" large container inventories (to use a system akin to warehouses, bypasses Arma's bugginess and contrived container code)
  
• Add limit to number of soldiers player can command, will scale as player progresses
  
• Recode mission handler, currently uses a contrived system that causes unavoidable bugs.
  
• Add a warning if another AI mod is being ran (might not be entirely possible)
  
• Counter Artillery code (idea stolen from Antistasi.) If a player fires indirect artillery near a base, the AI will respond in a number of painful ways.
  
• Add a skill which gives the ability to revive oneself. The exact requirements and limitations will be controlled via game setting.

List of mods with added compatibility:

• NIARMS: adds faction appropriate weapons to NATO, CRIM, and Police weapon pools
  
• Free World Armory: adds faction appropriate weapons to NATO, CRIM, and Police weapon pools
  
• Ivory: Adds more civilian vehicles that can be purchased/spawn randomly on roads
  
• Aegis Mods: Changes NATO Police units equipment, adds new NATO vehicles to spawn pool, distributes weapons to spawn pools
  
• Cold War Rearmed: WIP
  
• 3CB Factions: WIP (Possibly just weapons/equipment, vehicles do not have ACE compat)

List of cDLC compatibility (requires Ace compat mods):
[listl]

• Western Sahara: adds a large amount of content, too much to list, highly recommended to run with the mod but not required.
  
• Global Mobilization: adds most content where appropriate, however the themeing is somewhat off
  
• SOG: WIP (Currently unsupported)
  
• CSLA: Nope (Lacks Ace Compat mod)
  
• Spear Head: Nope (Don't own it)
  
• Reaction Force: WIP

Map porting status:

• Sefrou-Ramal: WIP
  
• Weferlingen: Possible (This map lacks a traditional airfield, which presents some problems, but can be easily worked around)
  
• Cam Lao Nam: Possible (This map has a massive amount of bridges, which the AI struggles to cross, would require a lot of additional logic to work around)
  
• Chernarus: Possible (CUP buildings work somewhat differently from ARMA 3 buildings, so additional code would be needed)
  
• Afghanistan: Possible (same problem as Chernarus)
  
• Gabreta: Unknown/Untested
  
• Stratis: Could be used as a tutorial map (only having two real towns would not give much interesting gameplay)

Note: technically all DLC requirements are soft recommendations, the mod will still run and can be played fine, just expect to see content from those DLCs.
