So I've noticed that when I use both Massi's unit packs and/or RHS Escalation unit packs...any roadblocks that spawn automatically spawn with Vanilla FAA guerillas. Don't know if anyone else has experienced this. Could be a post 1.54 issue.

Also...and I'm sure this isn't so much ALiVE related as it is 1.54...but calling for ALiVE Transport or Combat Support seems to "expedite" the Out of Memory Crash on our dedicated server that so many folks have experienced since 1.54 Nexus update.

Just thought I'd mention it.

No it's definitely ALiVE.

Roadblocks spawned under 4 different factions...RHS, Leights, Massi's packs, and now CA Aggressors...all of them are spawning vanilla FIA units instead of what they should be.

Some weirdness going on here... maybe config problems? AUT - when you were testing this did you have all 4 of those mods loaded in Arma during the test? If so... and you get a chance.. can you try with only the mod you are testing loaded? ie: only load @RHS then check the roadblocks.. quit Arma, disable RHS enable LOP, test, etc.

Nope, tested with only the required mods for each mission. Changed hostility to low and still had FIA spawning for roadblocks. I'd say something in 1.54 FUBARED the ALiVE roadblocks.

Ok thanks for testing that... I'll pass it along.

edit: sorry forgot there was a ticket for this already (opened by me no less). I'll update it with your comments/findings.

Me too actually. I have an interesting set of photos I'll post later if I think of it.

Long story short, last week I was debugging a mission. It's 3CB (BLUFOR) versus my ORBAT faction (IND). On mission start, using a profile counter, it's something like 59 BLU vs 71 IND. So the mission initialized just fine.

After 10-20 minutes or so, I went to check the profiles and it's something like 55 (BLU), 68 (IND) and 1 (OPF).

So I traveled to the newly spawned OPF profile and it's at a roadblock.

From Spyderblack723. Put this in the debug console and press local exec. Only works in SP.

if (isServer) then {

	_profilesBySide = [ALiVE_profileHandler,"profilesBySide"] call ALIVE_fnc_hashGet;
	_profilesBySide = _profilesBySide select 2;

	systemchat format ["Profile Count OPFOR - %1", count (_profilesBySide select 0)];
	systemchat format ["Profile Count BLUFOR - %1", count (_profilesBySide select 1)];
	systemchat format ["Profile Count INDEPENDANT - %1", count (_profilesBySide select 2)];

};

It's really helped me balance my missions nicely. For instance, I'm finding smaller maps in insurgencies do real well with around 30-45 groups per side if you're looking for a nice slow-burn.

It also helps a lot catching bugs too.

It's not just my ORBAT faction that does this. If we could get a vanilla repro I bet they could fix it but until then, I'm doubtful. Do you have any time to see if you can duplicate it with just ALiVE/CBA? Maybe even just to test, replace your current factions with vanilla on whatever map your mission is on. I can't see how the map would matter much for the purposes of testing this but that's just a guess.

I reported this issue like 6 months ago back when I was using Massi. On loads of different maps too. I went to make a repro and stupidly hurried it and made a major mistake in the mission setup and the topic was rightfully closed. I lost motivation after that. Not gonna lie. I took me over a month to get a reply (the Devs are busy so I totally get it) and I wasted their time with a bad repro mission.

Honestly, I think it can be done though.And my best guess is easily. Just a vanilla Assymetric mission with roadblocks set to extreme should do it if I had to guess.

Also note, it's not all roadblocks. Most of the time a bunch will spawn and have the right troops and you won't see the issue for ages. But somewhere down the line, eventually, it will happen.
