Every Faction has a comment in the mission SQM. Blufors is spelt "Bluefor" which is wrong.

I've been wanting to do this for ages. Snipper at 1tac has a respawn UI for admins so that they can dynamically respawn dead players for reinforcements. The code can be found here. I don't know what work would need to be done to implement it into our framework or update it, but I'm just throwing it out there to see if anybody is interested in taking a look at it.

Now that we have our more "reliable" 343s, we should consider adding terrain loss back to the framework (should help keep some of the "Your firearm goes 600m over there in check)

Russian_standard has fucked radios. FTL needs a 343 instead of 148.
and there is a += in backpackitems for the SL. He should also not have a 117F

class rhs_msv_sergeant: rhs_msv_Officer {// SL
backpackItems[] += {"ACE_key_east","ACRE_PRC117F","Chemlight_red:2","ACRE_PRC343","ACE_Flashlight_KSF1"};
linkedItems[] = {"ItemMap","ItemCompass","ItemWatch","NVgoggles","ACE_Vector","ItemGPS"};
items[] = {"ACRE_PRC148","ACE_microDAGR","ACE_MapTools"};
};

What features do we want/need to integrate into Eden?

For example:

- Markers for units Done
- Briefings Done a while ago
- Can loadouts be easily integrated? I'm scared of arsenal. Done
- In that same vein I'm not sure if radios should be due to the ease at which things could be broken Done, fuck you

• What else am I missing?, Spectate, respawn?

Fill out the BWMF wiki to an initial state. You can reference Nikko's mission making guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rOaSiTzfrjQde_zPIfvpv1fitDnXJjh3Jwvzm7ugdKs

• Named Subclasses for Loadout classes
• Default flag?
• Based on named subclasses that overwrite the parent settings
• Optional Feature?

I think I just don't spend much time in spectator I guess, but lately been dying earlier so noticing these things.

1. Not an easy to way to collapse the player/unit list unless I change to a side that's not on the map. I wanted to hide the UI elements and I had to switch to a side that wasn't on the map to get rid of the list.

2. Spectaing: Dead at the top of the screen. Probably says whoever I'm watching. This either needs to not be there or it needs to be hideable. Maybe just a hide UI button or some such.

Due to the UI handling keyDown/keyUp actions I don't think ACRE2 is getting passed the Mute Spectator binding.

I could make a mute spect button or have it get the ACRE2 key binding and handle it.

Due to the changes in ACE, people have been bleeding out super fast, and getting extreme pain after receiving small wounds.

Current values:
Bleeding: 5x
Pain: 1x

Purposed values:
Bleeding: 1.5x
Pain: 0.75x

Currently, Only BLUFOR has Delta, Echo, and Foxtrot squads included by default and properly setup. It would be very helpful if all factions had these squads by default, considering our increasing player count.

• move MSV to new Holo sight as default (old sight will become alt_optics)
• add fast smoke (should we just replace red smoke with it, since red smoke is pretty useless since it bounces)
• fix Spetz team radio channel
• Spetz team should be called "Recon" when referenced in-game (groupID)

• Bring new 1Tac spectate up to coding standards.
• Adapt 1Tac spectate for POTATO code
• Bring new 1Tac respawn up to coding standards
• Adapt 1Tac respawn for POTATO code

Update G36 default holo

Stringable.xml seems kinda redundant, adds an extra file to the main folder and is only used for mission parameter text.

Replace with defines or directly put the strings in description.ext?

In basic medical, it's really hard to bleed out, and most injuries are inconsequential. By increasing bleed rate, it'll make injuries more severe and prevent people from lying on the ground, bleeding out for 10 minutes.

Undefined vehicle factions need to revert to side.

All west should go to blu_f
All ind should go to ind_f
All east should go to rhs_faction_msv

We obviously need to wait on some Eden kinks to be worked out, but with POTATO updates we may want to consider moving some guts of the framework to a mod format for easier updating of missions. Should take some stress off mission-makers when certain things break.

So the question is what can and cannot be incorporated into a mod? I understand the respawn system may not be able to.

If we add the ACE Refuel Module to the framework by default, and leave it on it's default setting, refueling via fuel trucks and the new fuel line won't take more than 15 minutes

• Let's disable terrain interference for now. (Will resolve the majority of 343 complaints in the short term)

If we want to go down this road we could look into tweaking radio configs for our playstyle, but it may be more trouble than it's worth.

Alternatively, consider replacing 343s with 152s until a better squad-level radio is available.

Should we consider switching to full-duplex for better radio comms? Gameplay over realism?

Deaf medics are bad medics.

LDP_H_ helmets dont work.

For some reason or another, using the default F3/1Tac method of moving people into spectate and swapping them to virtual curators is not working properly with our "group" respawn method. The system needs to be reworked.

Future proof mission.sqm to be setup for a second HC for COOPs with ALiVE

Fix gear / radio issues in the Advanced Medical Branch

Since he is a Squad Lead he only has one radio. This is an issue since the weapons squad has long range radios for the leader, and if the WSL has a long range they can stay on FIRES to communicate.

Fix: Switch from Squad Leader to a Platoon Leader unit

F_fnc_processParamsArray
(https://github.com/zerithsmash/bwmf/blob/master/f/common/fn_processParamsArray.sqf)

doesn't seem to support the "isGlobal" parameter, yet its used in the desc.ext Params class. Is there something I'm missing, or did we forget to add support for it?

For some reason the mute spectators button in this spectator script is hard bound to P. I got frustrated last night trying to mute the spectators to get some footage/watch in peace but listen to those in-game. My default ACRE bind (CTRL+SHIFT+DOWNARROW) was not working. I suggest we change this back to following the ACRE keybinds.

MAT and Mortar gunner/spotters don't have 343s in their item call.

Create an easy way for mission makers to create an end of mission timer, that (given minute timer) pop up a message when the times up. Should allow for SS inclusive/exclusive.

If someone gets a chance before me, this easy fix should solve the problem with mute having weird behavior.
Replace this:

 if ([_key, _args select 2, _args select 3, _args select 4] call f_cam_checkAcreMute) then {
      f_cam_muteSpectators = !f_cam_muteSpectators;
      if (isClass(configFile >> "CfgPatches" >> "acre_main")) then {
        [f_cam_muteSpectators] call acre_api_fnc_setSpectator;
      };
    };

With this:

 if ([_key, _args select 2, _args select 3, _args select 4] call f_cam_checkAcreMute) then {
      [] call acre_sys_core_fnc_toggleHeadset;
    };

Need to be JIP compatible.
Sometimes desync or some other factor makes them not visible to random people.
Need to attach them to all GUIs available.

Due to the inconsistencies and delays with RHS, we should be using A3 units across the board.

Who wants to make some vanilla Arma 3 loadouts for this month in-case all the mods break with the next patch?

I think it would be nice to have anyway just in-case anything does break at anytime.

@AACO

Now that ALiVE supports multiple HC's out of the box do we want to go ahead and remove DAC from the framework? This includes the parameters we built for it as well.

Can we get a test mission with this over Pabst spectator to test? Pabst spectator is 2 years old and has had 0 significant updates. If it's a viable replacement we need to look into it.

Recently we added a check that if gear was not found for a unit the gear would default to that unit's config gear to better combat situations where mods were removed. This appears to pose a problem with ALiVE in that we don't have as easy control over what units are spawned in. It may be better to consider defaulting all units to a specific loadout per side if their class/gear is not found. We could use vanilla gear for this case if needed.

in our ace settings use:
class ace_overheating_unJamOnreload { typeName = "BOOL"; value = 1; };

• Remove add launcher macro from all loadouts/common (causes Rap issue)
• Add community loadouts
• there was something else I wanted to add here....

Tasks:

• Create branch for advanced medical changes/testing
• Add CFR (Combat First Responder) to loadout (replaces a rifleman in the 6 man FTs, what unit should we use?)
• Update loadouts with new medical loadouts (as detailed by Hypo in AdvMed Discussion)
• Update ACE Medical module with AdvMed settings (copy from the second iteration of Soviet's medical test mission)
• Update fireteam coloring
• ¿Give CFRs their own map markers?
• Update respawn to handle CFRs (and update the way riflemen are handled)
• Create a targeted, concise, and informative briefing tab for Advanced Medical.

We should probably have a configs folder in the framework with files for CfgFunctions, Params, Ace_Settings, and XEHs. This should declutter description.ext, and have each file specific to a category, for easy editing.

Things to consider:

1. Should we move the CfgLoadout file? The purist in me says, yes we should, but on a practical level mission makers edit this all the time and I don't want to add any pain to their process.
2. Should we move CfgRespawnTemplates to the f\spect\config.hpp file? All the spectator stuff bundled together?

KEY_WEST (or any key for its corresponding faction) is duplicated for helicopter pilots and crew members due to it being defined in LEADER_TOOLS (which these classes receive) while also being added manually to their backpackItems[] class.

A very small issue with a very simple fix.

During last session as a JIP there was no unit icon for myself on the map (JIP'd into 5 man fireteam)

has no room for 1xsmokeshell or 1xtracermag
