Custom Combat Patrol

This addon brings you the ability to customize the ennemy faction in your Combat Patrol scenario.

The process of creating a customized Combat Patrol mission is pretty straightforward. Open the editor and follow these simple steps:

1) Select your favorite map.

2) Place 12 playable units on the map. You can add more units but the Combat Patrol scenario is balanced for 12 players. Nevertheless it is possible to raise the ennemy units count with a proper configuration of the init.sqf file.

3) Go to System (F5) > Modules > Combat Patrol and place a Custom Combat Patrol Initialization module near your playable units.

4) Save your scenario.

5) Open your @CustomCombatPatrol folder and copy the init.sqf and descritpion.ext files contained in the Samples folder. Then paste them in your mission folder.

6) Read carefully the init.sqf file and tweak it to your needs.

7) Save and export your scenario.

8) Enjoy.

Please take notice that the provided init.sqf file is not usable as is because it contains multiple instances of the same variable initialization. The aim is to provide several examples and let people choose what they prefer. If you don't understand how to tweak this file don't ask for support because it is very basic Arma coding knowledge. If you have issues/bugs related to Custom Combat Patrol you are welcome to report them here.

When you will launch your Custom Combat Patrol scenario you will notice that there are some selectable locations that are not desirable for an operation. The process of removing them is pretty straightforward too. You simply need to edit your mission and place a Location Remove module on the city you want to blacklist. This module is located in System (F5) > Modules > Combat Patrol.

You can notice as well that some clickable icons on the location selection map appear misaligned with the city name. You can also fix things up with a Repositioning module located in System (F5) > Modules > Combat Patrol. Simply use the 2D map to place your module icon perfectly centered on the city name.

I don't take credit for the Combat Patrol game mode. My addon is just a slight modification of BIS devs work. A big thanks to them for their amazing Arma series and all the possibilities they offer to modify the game content.
