I could be wrong but I think that because it needs to create new units for the particular side, you need to build a config mod for it (description.ext won't work).
Good to hear! Cheers for the feedback.
I'm completely revamping all these scripts so I'll get the instructions a bit more clear soon.
Sooooo... you're all good now?
@ski2060 - would accuracy be up for sharing a N'Ziwasogo mission with @HeroesandvillainsOS or is it too early doors for that?
How's the Book Haram faction working with AliVE? Is it set up right? If not, I'll do some Orbatration.
Also, in terms of showing sectors, simply leaving the blufor OPCOM module with debug on would possibly show which sectors need capturing. Or the C2ISTAR module would probably have you covered if you set intel level to its highest setting. In terms of joining your main squad, have a look at the script snippets as I think there's some stuff there that you can use to determine attacking squads. Also, using the Operations tablet in "Commander Actions" in the ALiVE menu would allow you to send squads to attack certain objectives which you can then join in with. I don't think you'll have too much trouble achieving everything you're after using ALiVE only and maybe some script snippets if you know how to code.
There might well be a way to do the initial bit actually. The thing that would be a challenge would be increasing force size the more places you capture. As it stands, your force pool (the total reinforcements available to a side) will increase if you have reinforcements set up as dynamic in the mil logistics module, but this won't affect the number of overall units on the ground.
This script snippet could help because each profile that gets spawned increases the number of units opcom logistics will replace, meaning more virtual boots on the ground: http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Script_Snippets#Spawn_.26_Profile_Group_Script_By_Jman .
I think you'll have to do a bit of scripting to get it all working as you like but there's certainly scope. #2 and #5 are probably the bits you'll have to set up with your own scripts but shouldn't be too complex given the script snippet above. There's a really useful script by @SpyderBlack723 here that can hook into the ALiVE auto-tasking and would allow you to run custom code when a mission completes. You could run that, and then when a task completes, providing a FOB has been captured (which you can determine with this snippet), you could spawn a new profile at the FOB or dock or wherever. The OPCOM commander will then take that group and use it for nefarious purposes.
(Choose your tasks by using staticData ).
Have a read through all those links and if you have any more specific questions or need any more advice, fire away.
Thanks, great to hear it's working! I'm going to have another crack at using ALiVE persistent data in the near future which should make it possible to set and forget completely.
The weather is really quite nice today.
(I'll see myself out)
