[SP\COOP]DUWS-R WW2 Eastern Front Winter

Description
******PLEASE READ THIS******PLEASE READ THIS******PLEASE READ THIS************** ******************* AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO ASK ME SILLY QUESTIONS***********************

This is a modification of the original DUWS by Kibot and the DUWS-R by the DUWS-R team. Full credit goes to those guys for creating this mission.

Please see below for a description of how to play DUWS-R, and take my word for it, its one of the best persistent singleplayer and multiplayer missions out there.

In this modification you play as the Wehrmacht , Luftwaffe and Panzerwaffe, vs the Red Army, USSR Tank Troops and the USSR Airforce in Winter

****YOU CAN CHANGE THE MAP****

I've set up a google drive for the .pbo just rename DUWS-R-EASTERN-FRONT-WINTER.Chernarus_winter.pbo to DUWS-R-EASTERN-FRONT-WINTER.altis.pbo (for example) and put the file into the MP missions folder in the arma 3 root directory. Some maps have an incompatible grid system which creates a high command bug which will add all units at the start into the high command HUD.

BASIC GAME SETUP

Consult the map dialog options for how to play.

This is made to be played through multiplayer menu LAN for SP or internet hosting for coop.

When setting up the game after setting up CP, AP, number of zones etc you'll notice two red buttons at the bottom of the dialog box, Start-R and Start-M. Start-R will randomly place the enemy zones (I don't recommend this as it picks the flattest areas which can often be on the edge of the map boundary where the map editor stopped creating terrain, it works better on island maps). Start-M lets you manually place zones by left clicking on the map. It can be difficult sometimes to get a zone where you want it, the flatter and less cluttered the better, although you can usually get it to go where you want it to. Once you have manually placed all of the enemy zones the map will close.

AI Revive: AI in your squad will automatically revive you and your other ai squad members (only if played through Multiplayer LAN or hosted internet game)

Known Bugs:

MOST DUWS MISSIONS DON'T WORK ON DEDICATED SERVERS - THIS MAY CHANGE SOON!

Setting max distance from HQ parameter to 2.5 km can freeze the side missions when you open them up. Just leave it at 5km.

AT guns aren't very good at killing tanks, purchase a Single High Command Tank from the request squads menu to guard your HQ and learn how to use high command on youtube.

Make sure to destroy or at least immobilise any empty Russian vehicles, mainly halftracks as if you don't they will not be despawned by garbage collection which deletes bodies and immobilised or destroyed vehicles. This will help performance.


Please notify me of any other bugs and i'll try to fix em, and ENJOY!!!

Special thanks to UltraNoobian from DUWS-R and Jigsor=BMR= for all of their help.

Just noticed that IFA3 changed some faction related stuff so for example they removed luftwaffe and panzerwaffe as a faction and put it all under the umbrella of wehrmacht and did the same with the red army so a fair bit of this will not be working properly, ie no planes or tanks spawning dynamically for either side. Before I MAYBE make a red army snow version though I MAY have finally cracked to the pressure of people asking for a Germans Vs Allies version, thinking about doing it for the Italy campaign where the Germans were defending against operation Husky. I'll try to fix these all soon, rather busy atm with work, red dead and jedi fallen order is next. Also I have my own music mod now for these missions so will be updating that too, so that will be added as a required mod when this updates.

New version coming out by monday for the IFA3 desert rats update, stay tuned!

Update:
Fixed an Error in the zones capture part of the code that did not allow for the enemy to recapture zones
Gave unlimited ammo to high command squads (not HC vehicles)
Removed Faces of War Compatability Patch as a requirement as it was sometimes creating issues when they update.
Removed the ability to play through Singleplayer Scenarios as this is meant to be played through multiplayer LAN (SP) or Internet game (coop)
Reduced the CP cost of planes as new Iron Front planes config made enemy planes way more deadly to ground units

Plus you should play it through multiplayer LAN for singleplayer as the AI will revive you only in MP.

I enjoy all your scenarios. Especially the Vietnam war one. This one, for some reason is not working. It shows up in my scenarios list, but when i hit play it does nothing. All required mods loaded. Any ideas?

Did you set max distance from HQ to 2.5km at game start? That can freeze it, just leave it on 5km. Don't really know why 2.5km is worse but side mission freezes have always been a DUWS-R bug. The code has to find flat, uncluttered areas for the missions to spawn so if you have spawned your HQ in a VERY hilly area it can freeze the side missions. This happens in the Vanilla version on Altis sometimes if you spawn HQ up in the North-West mountains.

I select a side mission and the loading menu for it freezes, Forcing me to restart my game ?
