In totally new to alive. Years of experience running A2 and A3 servers, extensive mission customizations, some minor scripting efforts but I am seeking some advice on where to start with an Alive based mission.
Here is a simple overview of what Im trying to achieve.
Three factions with a spawn/ base area and minimal gear / equipment / AI base defenses again land and air attacks.
Occupation forces across in towns across the map
Ambient random vehicle and aircraft patrols - if possile I would like to have some random roaming vehicle ground and air patrols
Missions / objectives which enhance a factions firepower and capabilities - I dont seem to understand the missions module. How to customize what it does. Where they appear and what resources can be avalable after completion.
Ultimately this would run server side and provide our small group with a single player vs AI experience (occupation) which could escalate into a pvp scenario.
Ive messed with the mod a bit, experimented with the sample missions but I fail to understand some of the script functions and how they work together. There are samples but no real explanation of how they are ment to compliment and work with each other.
I tried following one of the tutorial missions. Do this, link this, add this..presto..but no real understanding or explanation for what I had just done or how it worked or what else could be customized.
If anyone has any pointers, suggestions or recommendations I would really appreciate the advice. I'd like to get rolling on this as quickly as I can and get up to speed on using the Alive Mod
