[COOP/1-4] The Escape [UPDATED]

Description
***Because i've been asked a lot, the mission is now converted to be able to support 4 players (due to vehicles capacity limitation and how the story should be driven, i can't go any higher, thus only 4 playable slots).


A cooperative 4 player mission based on the single player version of the:
"Ravage DayZs on Esseker"

Based on the Ravage framework mod, this is an open-world survival multiplayer mission with a storyline and an escape goal.

Roam and survive the wastelands of the devastated Esseker, fighting for your lives with other survivors whilst chased by the undead.

Can you survive and escape?

Background story:
Four friends are on their summer vacation. They head north for a camp in the forest, through Esseker city, where they're going to settle down for a while. The car radio reports a new virus spreading throughout Europe over the last week, but no one is really paying attention. The night is falling, so they have to stop and camp until the sun rises again. Dawn breaks over the horizon, a new day begins and the radio station stops the music program and plays only recorded news... nothing will be the same again.

Important notes:
The survivor slot marked as "Player Survivor" (usually the first AI slot) must always be after the assignments if you want to continue the storyline going.
The respawn tent (aka ridge tent) requires at least one of the playable units to be next to it, so a dead player be able to respawn to the said position of the tent.

Requirements:
Mission also requires Ravage 0.1.55[forums.bistudio.com] which is not currently listed on steam workshop.


Highly recommended but not required:
Left Shoulder Scripted Weapon
Arma Enhanced Movement

Compatibility:
Fully compatible with: (equipment,weapons,vehicles)

would gruppe-adler's persistence script work well with this for saving the story's progress, has anyone tried?

Haha, almost thought I had this mission. Escaping in the boat, but run out of fuel in the middle of the river. What I would appreciate: saving ability, vehicles not despawning, a little bit more relevant items (fuel canister, ammo, TOOLBOX) being found in the searchable places instead of clothing, binoculars and leg straps.

If the chopper doesn't spawn for anyone else after throwing flares just wait around 10 min's usually means the chopper has crashed and the pilots need time to walk to your location, then you will receive a task failed and a new objective for escape :)

As a minor workaround for the vehicles, where possible it's probably best to try log off near a town so you at least can try find another vehicle again, but not being able to stockpile too much makes it rough

Its a shame the vehicle despawning never got fixed, pretty much ruins the ability to stop and reload on an otherwise really amazing scenario, oh well, back to searching for a working Dayz single player experience

Just a note from an old fart - playing solo because I don't know any other septuagenarians who are into first person shooters.

I can't play for too long at one time because it's not good for me to be sitting still in one place, so I have to use the Abort option to quit from time to time. Since I'm the host, when I restart the game later, I come back to where I was when I quit with all the items I have on my body Inventory , but any vehicle or items stored in it is gone. I've even tried quitting while sitting in a vehicle as driver. On restart I dropped to the ground & no vehicle.

I really wish I could find this as a single player scenario where I could save, at least save on exit.

How do you save? 3 hours and can't even start from where we left off.

How to turn on saving the game option?
