Battle of Lythium

Description
[SP/COOP 1-20] U.S. and Afghan Special Forces take a combat role clearing Taliban cells along a trade route, known as Lythium, between the provinces of Badghis and Bala Murghad Afghanistan.

As a traditional ALiVE Insurgency mission, the idea here is to replicate a long-term persistent campaign, going out on patrol, talking to the locals, clearing and holding towns, and destroying the enemy resources. For more insight on how to play, please read the how-to-play instructions in the mission briefing area. For a more in-depth analysis of what the bells and whistles of an ALiVE Insurgency entails, here is an excellent breakdown from the ALiVE wiki: http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Insurgency

Although solo play is encouraged, the mission should ONLY BE run on a local hosted server. If you want to use a dedicated server, grab the PBO from the link below. Features include:

CAS and logistical support
The full suit of ALiVE features including suicide bombers, IED's and VBIED's
AI Recruitment
Helicopter and ground vehicle resupply triggers
The Muslim Call to Prayer
Ambient civilian traffic
Multiple bases and outposts to choose from for respawn
Intelligence on dead bodies
Zeus Game Master for Admins

Saving your progress: This mission uses a local saving feature, which is accessed in the esc menu and initiated by the "server save and exit" function. To continue your save, simply act as if you're starting the mission for the first time and your data will load automatically. To start your progress over, change the PBO name or execute "call ALiVE_fnc_ProfileNameSpaceClear" and then click "local exec" in the debug console.

great mod, and love that the saving works seamlessly, something that I have found to be usually tricky with ALiVE.

Are there any plans to create this using MACV vs NVA/VC on the prairie fire maps?

@pulse I appreciate the kind words and am really happy you’ve enjoyed the missions, and that they’ve inspired you to make your own!

Thank you also for confirming the OPS seem to be working for you!

@HeroesandvillainsOS On my end, even with 90 mods loaded It runs fine for me at the moment, Thank you for the good missions I love playing the ones the maps still work for, planning on making my own missions based off the fun I've had with yours on some of the newer maps.

Hi elpizzysofresh! Sorry, but I moved out of the country and didn’t bring my PC, so I don’t foresee me updating anything any time soon.

What’s broken? I’m curious.

I will say, the PBO’s that I link (like above) for all my missions are available for anyone to open or use or update or edit. If anyone wants to fix anything and release them I’m ok with that too!

I made these missions to showcase the ALiVE mod, and to teach new players how to use it and experience it, so if they are broken that’s a real shame. I wish I could fix them, but I’m not in a position to at this point in time.

long shot but is this gonna get fixed and is the pbo still up to date?

Persistence is broken on dedicated server for me sometimes loads player location and sometimes doesn't. Other stuff Persists like profiles so why is player reset back to base?

Does anybody know how to get the ACE: Fortify Module to work with this? Can't seem to figure it out, Seems like everything's working fine with ACE: NO Medical, I would just like to be able to use the fortify module to place things down.

So, not playable right now? Should the civ interaction show up in the action menu?
