Instadeath, revive + some ACE3 questions
Hello,

Im running this great mission on my dedicated server and have a question about revive. When i get shot i instadie and respawn at the HQ - no chance for my friends to revive.

Same happens with Ace mod running. I tried to turn instadeath off in ACE by adding this setting in serverconfig.hpp file (ace3 userconfig) but with no succes.

Should i un-pbo the mission and play with ace modules in it ? What i need is a way to prevent instadeath so that my friends can revive if they are nearby. Preferably with ACE3. Any help will be appreciated!

Did you load the server.pbo? Also if you did enable ACE via Workshop - did you put the server.pbo in a seperate folder?

I think so. I run -serverMod=@serverace (serverace folder contains just server.pbo). I dont use ACE via workshop

I can't help you as I know very little of ACE. But with default revive (no ACE) you have not insta death if everything is working properly.

Ok. Im trying to approach this problem from a different angle by adding Ace modules to the mission in the editor but funny thing - I cant open your mission as my editor does not see it. And yes, i unpacked the PBO and placed it in Arma3 other profiles/profile/missions. Other missions can be opened without problems. What am I doing wrong?

try with the 2d

I am using 2d editor :) Im sure im doing everything by the book. I tried to take the same steps with a random different mission and all works fine. With antistasi no luck.

Oh... and with ace disabled we also insta die.... no chance of revive. What can be wrong ?
Barbolani  [developer] Mar 16, 2016 @ 5:38pm 
oh then try with the 3d :)

Insta die only may happen if Antistasi thinks you are using ACE, thus disabling it's revive. Try a brand new download of the mission .pbo

Anyway, I had the same issue in a server few days ago, seems an ACE issue.

I had the same problem. I placed the ace modules in missions.sqm etc. but still instadead. So we use the "vanilla" revive. I think it's an ace problem and you can't do anything against it

Anyway, check the mod section in the forum. ACE is a great addon for some kind of missions, but Antistasi is not the one. As soon as you have a respawn, IMHO the medical module is more or less useless.

That's right. Also if you use ACE with Antistasi, the vanilla rangefinders doesn't work. You have to use the Vector from ACE.
So i agree with you.

@barbolani
One last thing, is there a special reason why the mission is called "Antistasi"? It's strange for us in Germany, because in the DDR there was the "Stasi".

Yes I know.

I just googled "Resistance" for Greek :)

So is there ever a situation where you are supposed to just be straight up killed? We're playing vanilla with ANY mods and die without chance to revive quite often. I was under the impression that if you took enough damage, say from a .50cal headshot you didnt get a chance to be revived? Is that correct or is the revive script just not firing or something? Also, are enemies supposed to be able to "finish you off"? We've had situations where people were waiting for revives and the AI kept shooting at them eventually killing them... is that intended as well?

My question regarding ACE is how do I offer captured prisoners to join me? I am able to secure them and release them all the same load them up and such but I have no idea how to offer them to join (Understandably most will just say screw you!) but regardless I'm interested to see if it's possible with ACE turned on.

Antistasi revive removes players (not AI) from enemies list of targets, so if they are shooting towards you probably is because some ppl or AI, is behind you.

Anyway seems there is a lot of people with issues with revive, and could be a bug, but AFAIK not. Need more info and nobody makes a proper bug report.
