(REPLACED) Vandeanson's Apocalypse

Description
ATTENTION:
This version is replaced with: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856307323


Vandeanson’s Apocalypse
or VA is a highly adjustable, dynamic site and event spawner framework that spices up every mission you create or play by adding sites of interests, events, enemies, survival elements and loot to your world.

VA is not a MISSION but a mod that runs on top of any mission you play.

DISCORD

https://discord.gg/E5f6gfm

FEATURES

THE LIVING
Bleeding | Zombie Infection |
| Dynamic Loot Economy | One Off World Loot Spawner | 5% chance that Ravage Zombies drop items/food | Health Regeneration | Temperature (WIP) | Magazine Repacking

SITES
Trader Camps | Bandit Camps | Hideouts | Shipwrecks | Crashsites | AI Patrols | AI Stalkers | Animal Spawner | Boat Spawner | Helicopter Spawner | Plane Spawner | Feral and Patrol Dogs | DBO Horses Spawner

BASEBUILDING (WIP)
- place persistent player caches to store loot
- place persistent tents
- place persistent barricades
- place persistent ladders
- materials and blueprints (WIP)
- add any classname you want to the building menue (accessed by pressing "T"):

(in initplayerlocal.sqf)
sleep 10;
VABB_ObjectsBP pushback "classname"; or
VABB_ObjectsBP append ["classname1","classname2","classname3"];

PERSISTENCY
VA is now compatible with inidb2 persistency. Reconnecting players can continue to play where and in what state they have left.

Player: Position, Direction, Health, Loadout, Ravage Hunger/Thirst, VA Blood state, VA Bleeding state, VA Infection state are saved.
The Ravage stats save has no effect if Ravage or the Ravage Survival Module is not active.
Dependency: To save player data and basebuilding objects, the Dedicated Server/Hosted MP host must have the inidb2 mod activated. (Clients don't need this/it should have no effect)

Subscribe to INIDB2 by Code34:
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1768992669

Note: Add a local INIDB2 copy to your launcher (for Hosted MP Hosts) or your Dedicated Server, dedicated to the current mission/server, else you will load in player saves from previous missions/server setups.

GENERAL
- Automated loot arrays based on active mods with customisation options and connected to loot economy (player/AI gear and lootspawns in buildings and lootcrates). VA categorizes loot into military and civilian grade loot.
Military loot will only spawn at military sites.

- tons of settings to adjust or disable nearly every aspect of this mod

REQUIREMENTS
This mod requires only CBA_A3.

Ravage Mod
Has been the inspiration for the VA mod, hence VA is made with Ravage in mind.

There is however no dependency, you can use the mod with or without Ravage.

INSTALLATION
- Subscribe to VA and activate the Mod in your A3 Launcher.

- Subscribe to
CBA_A3
and activate the Mod in your A3 Launcher.

- (Optional)
CUP Terrain - Core

- (Optional)
Ravage Mod
Needed for the Trader Camp and the Z Infection.

HOW TO USE
Default
- Start your mission, VA will start spawning in its FEATURES according to the default settings.

OR

Customize VA Settings
1. Open a new or existing mission in the A3 Eden Editor.

2. Open - > Settings - > Addon Options -> Vandeanson’s Apocalypse (various sub-menus).

3. Adjust the settings to your liking (you may save your preferred settings to easily copy for another project

(press save within the CBA_A3 settings menu).

-> Make your changes under the SERVER tab and click the checkboxes to overwrite MISSION and CLIENT. This will block other players to change settings in MP and it will align the settings.

4. Save your mission in the Eden Editor. Your current settings are saved to this mission now

5. Further adjust your mission or start to play

6. To test the VA settings, you can activate ZEUS support and Debug Markers under the “Vandeanson’s Apocalypse - General” settings. Then place the ZEUS Gamemaster module in the editor and assign it to your player.

Dedicated Servers
Adjust your VA settings for your Dedicated Server: Settings can be exported using the export function of the CBA Settings menue and be pasted into an optional file in the userconfig folder. The filepath is Arma 3\userconfig\cba_settings.sqf, where "Arma 3" is the games installation folder.
This works for a dedicated server as well as the clients, but requires the -filePatching startup parameter.

Despite that setting that is supposed to fix the issue of getting stuck in loading screen, i keep getting stuck in the loading screen.
starbuck 10 Nov, 2023 @ 10:42am 
I don't want that bandages, bloodbags, antivirus pills and antivirus injectors that come with the mod appear in any loot. I have tried to add them to the blacklist in the mod settings, but it did not work. What else can I try?
ADRIANO 24 Aug, 2023 @ 7:16pm 
Hello... I have problems loading the mission... I get a screen with a warning that says you are dead... And then it stays black for a long time... Then the mission starts.... Please what's up? How can I fix that? Thank you

Don't delete. Blind map in 3.0. I can't put marks.
Gavinda Jai~Jai 19 Jan, 2023 @ 3:56am 
@corvoattano Space them with commas . For example LAGO_CP,LAGO_KU3K
Shiainu 15 Nov, 2022 @ 11:23am 
How do I type in class names for extra gear? Do I just space em like, "LAGO_CP LAGO_KU3K LAGO_KU5K"?, or is my intuition right that I space them with semicolons then a space like "LAGO_CP; LAGO_KU3K; LAGO_KU5K"?
Gavinda Jai~Jai 6 Oct, 2022 @ 7:49pm

Hi all,

Happy to announce that VA 3.0 Beta is now released on steam!

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856307323

Happy exploring!

FYI VA 3.0 is a complete overhaul of this version of the mod here. I will leave this older version of the mod online but it will not be monitored anymore.

Cheers
