Bugfixes

• Fixes anti-hack and broadcast once again. (but for real this time... I hope...)

Tweaks

• Quadbike & pickup wheels are now at 0% damage on spawn, because more than 20% damage on wheels now cuts those vehicles' acceleration and max speed by half, which is stupid.

404 Wasteland v1.06 Revision C
Download: 404Wasteland_ArmA3_TPG_v1.06c.Stratis.zip

Bugfixes

• Vehicles now respawn. One hour after being abandoned, or 30 minutes after being broken or destroyed. Will tweak based on feedback.
• Fixed some admin commands not working since new update.
• Fixed "not enough space" error at gunstores. You can now fill your inventory to its maximum capacity without having to drop stuff.
• Fixed "running too fast" error when moving objects uphill or downhill.

Tweaks

• New default backpack. 25% more capacity than previous one.
• Added backpacks in gunstores. "Large" provides 25% more capacity than the new default backpack, and "Extra Large", 40%.
• Added Katiba mags, frag grenades, and 40mm grenade launcher rounds in gunstores.
• Ability to drop vehicles carried by helicopters while in flight at any altitude or speed. Makes nice airbombs.
• Reduced NPC AI difficulty to minimum. They still shoot like aimbotters, but at a slower rate.

• Added a large airdrop-style supply crate in barricade spawning possibilities. Comes empty, but you can store a shitload of equipment inside.
• Changed all full tracer mags in weapon crates to either full ball or "4 ball 1 tracer" mags for more stealth.

404 Wasteland v1.06 Revision B
Download: 404Wasteland_ArmA3_TPG.Stratis.zip

Bugfixes

• Vehicles now spawn again.
• Moving objects like crates or barriers no longer eats primary weapons' attachments and magazines.
• The Ifrit (OPFOR armored truck) now spawns properly; the vehicle name was misspelled in the old version, so the game would leave empty the vehicle spawns assigned to Ifrits during the mission setup.
• A copy of the Air Station Mike radar dome has been placed on the northern island (Xiros) to contain and protect placeholder units while players are on the spawn selection screen (it was the only closed building that could contain all of them, and that didn't tilt on the side due to the island's slope).
• Supply crates containing an MXM now carry 6.5mm 30Rnd STANAG mags (temporary fix for Bug #7522)
• Vehicles now spawn 1m above ground (and fall back down), in order to reduce the occurences of wheels stuck in the ground.

Tweaks

• All units have been converted to medics and repair specialists so that everyone can at least use either a medkit or a toolkit.
• 8 additional vehicle spawnpoints have been added to the map, especially at dead-ends.
• Gunstore prices for rifle magazines have been adjusted, based on ammo capacity and caliber. Original price were somewhat too random (ex. 30Rnd STANAG for $30, yet 200Rnd Belt for $10).
• The Scuba Diving Assault Rifle (SDAR) and pistols have been removed from vehicle inventory possibilities. The SDAR inflicts twice less damage as the pistols, and pistols themselves are genuinely disappointing to find in place of a proper rifle, especially late game when vehicles become scarce.
• BLUFOR and OPFOR units all have the same uniform for their respective team. It ensures everyone has the same storage capacity.
• Indies are now properly dressed as soldiers; the uniform is randomly generated from BLUFOR and OPFOR uniform parts on each spawn.
• Glasses and sunshades are now removed on spawn, to minimize replication glitches that cause dozens of them to be dropped on the ground.
• Removed wooden pallets, campfires, and obstacle course mini-bridge from barricade spawning possibilities.
• The "running too fast" prone-dive animation when moving objects now lasts shorter.
• It is now possible to tow 2 vehicles at the same time.
• Yellow and red chemlights have been added to vehicle inventory possibilities.

Notes

• I didn't implement a "cancel bandaging" option yet, I will first see if it's actually feasible.
• It is impossible to fix indy teamkills as the scoreboard can't be edited via scripts (and there doesn't seem to be a playable "enemy to everyone" faction).

loving the changes so far. Not sure if the vehicle respawner is working correctly>?

Yeah sorry about that, it's a bug with some function called "BIS_fnc_findSafePos", will remove that asap.

EDIT: Hmm actually, I am the one to blame, not the function, seems like I am passing some position variable incorrectly...
