Dead Catalina Rising [COOP6/SP] - "Jailbreak Update" ;)

Description
THIS MISSION FEATURES RICK_B´s ZOMBIES AND HAS WORKING LOOT/HUNGRY/THRISTY - read instrctions below...

[UPDATE - After a false flagging and a momentary block, DCR is back on track, full throttle! (Thus, a Jailbreak update) ... Removed some "weight" on the mission file (it had 2.5 mb of screenshots for Armaholic´s media kit, no real usage on the mission file per se) and added 3 extra "survivor´s treasure chest" throughout the mission waypoints... OK, I´ll just give it away: one is in front of the Mc Donalds... have a happy meal! =D]

ION PMC has been playing with biochemical warfare and finally got burnt! An undercover/blackops experiment with a test H1Z1 strain on Santa Catalina Island (right next to California shores) population has gone wrong, and now you and your 6 men PMC BO team have got to scaravenge for suplies and kill your way out of a zombie horde to get to the island´s airport, refuel an old skied Antonov An-2 and fly back to ION PMC headquarters to report back the flopped experiment (or not so floppied, as it showed almost 98% efficiency on turning the indigenous civilian population on enraged canibals killing machines...)

It features Rick_Bs zombies, IMHO better zombies with boomer/smokey/fast and slow and ressurected units zombies (I have an old 4 y.o. PC and these monsters don´t make it choke)

This mission has working survival modules and requires the following mods:

CBA - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=18767

MCC (for the blizzard effect) - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19580&highlight=MCC

Santa Catalina Island - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29035&highlight=SANTA%2BCATALINA

Rick_B´s Arma3 Inventory Itens/Survival modules - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=28752

Rick_B´s Walkers (aka Zombies) - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29006

RHS - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27139

RHS ION PMC - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29010&highlight=RHS%2BION

RKSL Attachments (for cool LDS scope on loot) - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25843&highlight=RKSL%2BLDS

and last, but not least, Sabre´s Antonov An-2 A2 port - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27761&highlight=SABRE%2BANTONOV

... and I recomend playing with ACE3 for an extra challenge! http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=28557

... and Cunico´s Hidden Identity Pack for Gas Masks (protect against Smokey´s Killing Haze) - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24936&highlight=HIDDEN%2BIDENTITY

... and MOCAP mod to beat the crap outta zombies if you run dry on ammo - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27262&highlight=MOCAP

Instructions on Rick_B´s Survival Modules:

You may find scattered through enterable houses/cafes/shops and gas stations a sort of itens, such as sodas, canteens, canned meat, raw meat, duct tapes, laptops, smartphones, woodpiles, water purification, antibiotics, matches, nails, hammers, axes, wrenchs, saws, knifes, water plastic bottles, fuel packs, etc etc... ohhh, somes zombies may have loot with them, whenever you can, search them!

Most of those itens have functions and can be combined/crafted into FAKs, fireplaces or fix vehicles or clean polutted/salty waters into drinkable and heal illness and injuries... you just have to double click the item on your gear/inventory window to use it (and if you have all the needed itens to craft, they´ll be crafted)

Some functions or combinations/crafted itens:

Polutted/Salty water + Water purification tabs = clean water

woodpile + matches = fireplace

lit fireplace + raw meat = cooked meat

dead/hunted animal + knife (scroll menu action "gut animal") = raw meat steks

raw meat makes you ill, but if you have antibiotics, you get healthy again

and so on... you get 10% hungry/thristy for each 10 minutes of gameplay, so et some loot and survive (or get hasty to the airport with the fuel truck or lotsa fuel packs!!!)

Known issues:

Goats and Lambs are invisible, blame BIS for breaking animal modules since v1.42 (you can see their shadow thou)

Sometimes the modules break (blame BIS for poor script stability lol)

Sometimes a big horde is spawn, sometimes just a fewer zombies as scattered (not everyone is perfect, guys!)

"arma_home_1.texture" error pops up (Santa Catalina´s error, blame Got_ Dead_ for this)

Thanks/Credits:

BIS for this awesome military shooter sandbox, addictive as heck, big fan since OPF days...

Misty Ronin for his ION PMCs mod and mission mentoring (as well as SIG aka Phantom for convincing me to publich this, and inspiring me with his Doomsday Night series)

RHS for their awesome Escalation mod

Sabre for his Antonov (and other A2 airplane ports)

Shay_gman for his uncanny MCC (make arma easier)

Rick_Bs for his zombies and survival scripts

Got_ Dead_ for Sta Catalina Island

DA12TH Monkey for LDS scope

CBA team

and on and on and on... happy survival/zombie carnage! =)

Cheers!

Updated the mission with some goodies (Stormforge, I hope you can finish up the mission this time without starving out ;D and check out the "Directors Cut" version with some extra spiceness and sauce http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=527195446

cheers!

Foxin, have you tried to play it on singleplayer, jsut to make sure everything is right on your end? Stormforge had an issue using PlayWithSix launcher, maybe that´s your case? No error popup message? Try to load the game/server without -nologs parameter (it hides error messages, thus you would never know the cause!) Need more info...

cheers!

Having issues, have all the mods, enable them and then when i try to launch the scenario or host a new server it just doesn't start, refreshes the page?

Yup used the car. Even sent it back with a driver to pick up the others while me and 2 teammates secured the observatory. Enough room for everyone once you get the fuel truck. Did spend a little extra time in town looking. Up and down pretty much every block looking for food. Did not look in the fenced in areas behind the houses. Didn't want to waste ammo shooting out boards.

Oh I was using the lowest hunger/thristy level of Rick_B modules... even thou the long walk (haven´t you used the car on that farm 1 .5 kliks away from Avalon???) seems to take its toll on most players, but as I´ve said, I´ve used the lowest level, it could be 4 times faster... maybe Rick_B needs to tweak it a little (it is a drop down menu, no space for variables or decimals on h/t levels)

One way is to add a lot more loot areas and increase more zombie loot percentage! Thanks for the feedback, Stormforge, I´ll see some workaround!

Cheers!

If you decide to go bigger maybe reduce the hunger/thirst a bit. Was dead before I could take off in the plane in one of my playthroughs as I only found drink and no food or knife at the town (checked the gas station, bank, and 2 resturants), house, or observatory, had matches and wood though. Also I think hunger should build 3 to 5 times slower that thirst to make it a bit more realistic.

Happy to see you´ve liked it Rawner... anxious for DSS =)

cheers!

Nice. ;D

ArmA is only ArmA with mods, vanilla is a futurecrap uneatable... your loss (3 are exclusively for the survival modules, 1 is the unique setting, 2 for weapons and units and 2 for ambience, they are all worthy and waaay less than 6 gb for AllinArma Terrain pack)
