That's the same one I found sulks and it works a treat
Although the respawndelay is respawndelay = "15";
Also the one I found told you to create a init.spf too in the same directory although they didn't tell you anything to put in that file so not sure what that's all about

Benny, if you work out the revive script can you send us it mate

Cheers

Although the respawndelay is respawndelay = "15";

[Sparko]

Cool ok

I have found a problem, if you disable the AI in mp before you launch the mission it knocks out the briefing and tasks at the start of the mission if you leave the AI on its fine, am I doing something wrong anybody know?

[sulky_uk]

can you show me how to do the brief and description thing?

I've built a mission using General Carvers revive, which I need to test tonight/tomorrow. Outside that I'll give this a try. The lack of dedicated server makes it a bit of a pain in the bottom.

Tonight's no good for me, but I'll be available tomorrow night for some map testing funtimes.

[Sparko]

I will be around tonight, I plan to be on arma anyway so give me a nudge if you need me

[sulky_uk]

im good tonight if ya want

[Sparko]

i have set the revive script up on my mp mission and it seems to work .......well i seem to be rolling around on the floor and screaming when i die so that bit works anyway.  Wont be able to see if i can be revived until someone is around to test with me.

Thanks for the link sulky

[smilodon]

I'll be around tomorrow for some mappiness happiness, if anything needs testing.

[sulky_uk]

played mine with 8 players tonight...instead of 4 from last week..need to add more ai, lasted 1 hour and they avoided 30% of the the enemy troops

[Sparko]

Revive script works perfectly, thanks to Sulky for testing with me

There are some variables that we can teak to our liking so its just a case of trying different things and seeing what we prefer.  Each soldier has 1 first aid kit, which means they can have 1 revive or they can 'heal' themselves once (cant remeber if this was the same in ARMAII)  Presumably the medic has infinite revives but havent tested that yet.  Should be around tomorrow for some more fun, but looking good so far
