1.

I have also issue with warehouse losing all loot, checked two separate warehouses. Tanoa, fresh start.

That is, if i load game without pasting persistent save string/text.

Pre-made warehouse bought and another built, i've put ammo box and stored all gathered stuff. Ammoboxes at houses did not lose any loot. Has to do something with how virtual(?) equipment gets saved.

1.1.
If i do paste the persistent save string, i end up on that small island with loading option. Stuck with none of progress or houses, game mode looks like it loads in, yet not me or my properties.

1.2.
Tried again with pasting a new save string, same result.
Made new game again, just in case.




2.
Also i can not run over gang units on vehicles, they do not have collision after loading game, yet my squad dies when i drive over them. Bullets work though. Not sure if it is save corruption or just game mode glitch. Have to try another day again on new game.

3.
Police can be spawned without limit, spawned 240 units in one town for fun :) now dunno how to get rid of them. Either a limit of units(8?) per town or "delete all/refund&fire" button at police station menu would be nice addition.

4. Barracks do not do anything, no option to recruit squads or soldiers. Or, do they have other kind of function here?

Thanks for reporting. I will start investigating the warehouse issue. You can use ammoboxes until I can push out an update.

String saves have always been broken and still are, and I don't think that's a priority to fix.

I can't replicate the issue of warehouse loot disappearing. I bought three separate warehouses, put loot in them and reloaded the save numerous times and restarted my game and it works fine.

Are you sure you are checking the inventory of the correct warehouse? Loot isn't shared among warehouses in this version of Overthrow, so if you buy a new one, it will be empty.

Yes, i started new game and bought 3 warehouses from different areas, put ammoboxes on each then filled them with goods, after restart of mission and loading save all of them were empty.

I did not have that problem on another overthrow (Dead's, all warehouses are connected), maybe some file is read-only? Or maybe uploaded version is not saving properly on other PCs(problem with address?), since warehouses work seperately now, script have been edited, right? Maybe there is some kind of error hiding in code?

I am going to try un-read-only everything on client and dedicated server PCs. Testing tomorrow when got time.
ThomasAngel  [developer] Jun 29, 2022 @ 1:37pm 
Are you on dedicated or local hosted?
DrinkYourKoolAid Jun 29, 2022 @ 2:09pm 
I use dedicated, since it has better performance and stability.

edit: taking off read-only did not help.

I'll test it again on dedicated, I was hosting the lobby in-game.
DrinkYourKoolAid Jun 29, 2022 @ 3:37pm 
I decided to try making local server, and goods did not disappear, just so you know.
Local on client

Dedicated only on another PC (same network/lan)

I just published an update that fixed some multiplayer issues with warehouses. Could you check if the disappearing loot issue is now fixed?
DrinkYourKoolAid Jun 30, 2022 @ 6:28pm 
Hey, tried on two seperate PCs hosting dedicated, it is fixed!


Edit: The only bugs i spotted so far are

1. Zamak MRL available at any warehouse(unless it is a feature?).
2. Barracks not giving option to recruit squad/soldier.
3. Refugee Camp not giving option to recruit civilian, also the building can not be removed by ACE.
4. Some binoculars in stores cost 0, some backpacks in backpack stores have rockets for RPG.
5. Can not edit soldier equipments, because "Warehouse is empty", i have Training Camp put near Katkoula, where i own Warehouse with items(still have not disappeared after few restarts, at least that's good).
6. Crafting bench does not do anything. Tried to make bomb triggers while having steel on inventory, and on ammobox nearby.
7. I captured Chemical Plant base in Tanoa south of Katkoula, i noticed it gives me chemical material, yet i have no idea where it is stored, since i was thinking, if i could buy chemicals and transfer them to the Plant for making more products. Also having ability to manufacture explosives there is very cool.

Small bug though, when i used warehouse of Chem Plant base and then left to Katkoula to buy new vehicle, the vehicle dealer had options to sell me those same explosives in same order xD

That'll be all for now.

Thanks for reporting those bugs. Sadly I don't have time to fix most of them anytime soon, but I will get back to them at a later time.

Would it be possible to enable more players to manage the Factory? In Dead's OverThrow the resistance general could promote individual players. This would helpful for coop, for example.

The Operative Transport Missions are a little weak in this version - 250$ and only 5 reputation is tedious.

Also one minor bug that annoyed me:

You can buy blueprints for UAV's from the CSAT for example, but you cannot control those even if built at the factory, since your character can only use AAF UAV terminals.

Hello ThomasAngel I have a suggestion, would it be possible to make NATO and the Criminal faction surrender? If it is could there be a possible feature to than have to transport the prisoners back to either a FOB or police station to possibly recruit them for a price.

I'd like to be able to alter the VCOM AI settings, as was possible in Overthrow Plus. ACE makes the AI into aimbots and needs VCOM's skill rebalancing. I don't see VCOM AI settings options in addon options in the community edition.
ThomasAngel  [developer] Feb 5, 2023 @ 8:10am 
VCOM CBA settings are coming next update
