Insurgent Ops I
Insurgent Ops II
Insurgent Ops III

How to edit internal variables[www.patreon.com]

BASIC USE
  1. Place a DMP Core module at the center of your desired AO
  2. Select the desired AO size (values larger than the map will not go out of map bounds)
  3. Place a Define Faction module
  4. Adjust the composition options
  5. Place the desired units and vehicles you wish to make up the faction within 200 meters of the Define Faction module
  6. Upon mission start, the system will read and delete the units and use their classNames as the basis for spawning groups
  7. If no units are placed, the module will default to a simple NATO force

Note: It is a good idea to right click on all placed units, go to Attributes > Special States and uncheck all boxes.

For more control about which classNames are used, set the rank of units according to this list:

COLONEL: Leaders/HVTs
MAJOR: Pilots
CAPTAIN: Vehicle crew
SERGEANT: Squad leader

Units with "pilot" or "helicrew" in their classname will be added to pilots
Units with "crew" in their classname will be added to vehicle crew
Units with "iconmanleader" as their icon will be squad leaders


KNOWN BUGS
Camps sometimes spawn close to roads
Garrison units and crates sometimes spawn under floors

Composition by Pākehā to help with set up


HOW TO REPORT BUGS
If you encounter a problem, first try using the demo mission with no other mods loaded. If that works, then start adding mods until you find the conflict, then report the conflict. Vague reports such as "it doesn't work" or "I got a script error" are impossible for me to troubleshoot. Please provide specific information such as map and mods used, exact error messages, screenshots, etc.

Hey Drongo, did you delete your Patreon? All the Patreon links are broken.
Drongo  [author] 15 Jun @ 3:52pm 
Yes, don't define any tanks in the Define Faction module. If you want no vehicles, set them to zero in the same module.
tonycamerlo6 15 Jun @ 1:35pm 
is there a way i can have the enemy faction to not spawn with tanks
Drongo  [author] 14 Jun @ 1:51am 
Check the readme for setup instructions. You can also check my discord for a vanilla demo mission. If you don't want to use discord, DM me on steam and I'll link to a download.
