[Guide] How to CUSTOMIZE Your Overthrow Experience!
I'm not one of those people who like to play by the rules. I play the way I want and I usually know how to do so in Singleplayer ArmA 3.
Let's start with DISABLING ACE Advanced Fatigue, if you so wish.
DISABLING ACE Advanced Fatigue Step 1
-Find wherever your Overthrow mission PBO is. For me, it was in the !Workshop folder in my ArmA3 directory.
***WARNING! YOU SHOULD NEVER CHANGE ANY FILE OR FOLDER INSIDE THIS DIRECTORY UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!***
-I know what I'm doing, so I do it anyway.
--Open the Overthrow PBO with your favorite PBO browser. I use PBO Manager 1.4 Beta (Armaholic)[www.armaholic.com]
-Find the mission.sqm inside the folders: overthrow_main.pbo/campaign/missions/Overthrow.Tanoa
**COPY THAT FILE! DO NOT EDIT DIRECTLY!***
DISABLING ACE Advanced Fatigue Step 2
-Take that file directly to your DOCUMENTS\Arma 3\<username>\missions\<mission_name.Tanoa OR DOCUMENTS\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\<username>\missions\<mission_name>.Tanoa
**NOTE THAT THE ".Tanoa" EXTENSION OF THE FOLDER IS REQUIRED!!!**
--Place the mission.sqm inside <mission_name>.Tanoa
DISABLING ACE Advanced Fatigue Step 3
--Open ArmA3, ACE 3 is required as a mod
--Enter the 3Den Editor, choose Tanoa as a map.
--Load the mission name that you gave the folder with the extracted mission.sqm
--FIND the ACE Advanced Fatigue module and open it
--Change ENABLED to DISABLED, OR alter the values below it to change your experience. I chose disabled AND I chose to alter the values just in case.
SAVE THE FILE!!
DISABLING ACE Advanced Fatigue Step 4
--Now that you've disabled the Fatigue system, you're going to want to COPY the ORIGINAL overthrow_main.pbo into another modfolder, like this:
ArmA 3\@Overthrow_NoFatigue\addons\overthrow_main.pbo
--Open back up the PBO Manager and chose the NEW Overthrow PBO you just made.
--COPY and PASTE the new mission.sqm to the SAME EXACT place you found it. It will automatically overwrite the old with the new.
--ENABLE this modfolder and play Overthrow!

Next one is pretty darn useful.
How to get INFINITE Money
--You're going to need the DEV console to be available when you pause the game for this to work, or create a script that runs when you spawn in the Overthrow mission.
After you spawn, pause the game. Enter in the DEV console: player setVariable ["money",10000000,true] for 10 million money.
Unpause, and your money will update after about a quarter of a second.

Don't ask me how I have my DEV console enabled because I don't even remember how.

I also found the script for skipping night time and increasing the timeScale, but I can't find it again so I can't experience night time or slow my game time :(

Hope this was useful for you!

unlimited money would ruin the game

Would? No, it DOES. But I like to customize and debug so I thought maybe other people do too so I decided to share.

I'm using the NSS Admin Console mod on my dedicated server (only usable if you're logged in as Server Admin), and open debug console. There's a few commands, for example:

1 setFog 0 // Will remove fog instantly. Change "1" to a higher number for a smoother fog fade-away, for example: 5 setFog 0

skipTime 12 // Will skip the time by twelve hours. I've noticed when playing Tanoa, it's getting dark at 18:30 (6:30 PM) and the sun rises at 6:30 (AM). If you execute this command at exactly 18:30, it'll skip the time to 6:30 the next morning, and you nearly won't notice any difference in lighting. Change "12" to the amount of hours you'd like to skip.

//NOW THIS ONE IS VERY HANDY FOR ME PERSONALLY AS I USE SOME VEHICLE MODS THAT CANNOT BE OBTAINED BY BUYING THEM OR ANY OTHER WAY THAN THIS ONE!

//First you want to look up the vehicle's class name. For example, if I want the Mi-24 Super Hind Mk.IV from CUP Vehicles from the ION PMC faction, I look up it's class name. It has different variations in loadout, but I'm using the one with the GSh cannon. That class name is "CUP_I_Mi24_Mk4_S8_GSh_ION"
Then you'll want to execute this command:

_veh = "CUP_I_Mi24_Mk4_S8_GSh_ION" createVehicle(position player)

in the debug console. It spawns the Mi-24 Super Hind Mk.IV right beside you.

//Now, many people of you think it's cheating, and I do not like cheating... So what I do to make it sort of legit, is I deduct some of my cash when I've spawned my vehicle.
For example if I have $275.000, and I've spawned a Super Hind, I compare prices with other vehicles in Overthrow and roughly add a $10.000 extra for it as it's not obtainable without spawning. Mostly I'm spawning a Super Hind for $35.000 since you're able to buy the AH-1Z cobra for about 27.000 I thought. So I'll execute this command:

player setVariable ["money",240000,true]

So I will have $240.000 left after executing it.

I have a mod that does all of this in the context menu; it's incompatible with MCC Sandbox but is comparable with Simple Single Player Cheat Menu. Is NSS available to use in singleplayer? I know it's a thing you have to pay for.

NSS? Payware? Not that I know of... But yes it's usable in singleplayer.

Pardon. I was thinking of another Admin console that you do have to pay for.
infistar . de /eng/index
This one looks sooo good. Wonder if it works in SP.

It's in the Zeus controls. I just remapped my Zeus ping; I'm not gonna bother with Overthrow's binding.
