TheVampire Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) - What is VEMF? - VEMF is the Spiritual Successor to DZMS. VEMF Stands for Vampire's Epoch Mission Framework. VEMF is going to be a mission system designed specifically for Arma 3: Epoch. - How is VEMF different from DZMS? - VEMF is being designed to be a Mission Framework. VEMF will be more modular than DZMS allowing anyone to easily create an "Addon" for it. VEMF will not be a "fetch the box" mission system, it will be much much broader; A-B, Multiple Ending, Vehicle Convoys, Vehicle Capture, Manhunts, Investigation/Exploration, and more! VEMF will run entirely on the server side, in a server-side PBO. - When Will it be Done? - VEMF is still a work in progress. The current version is WIP. - Example Videos - DrScandalous Outsmarting the AI - Github - https://github.com/SMVampire/VEMF Edited October 8, 2015 by TheVampire unrealPANDA, NorthyPark, SilentHog and 44 others 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVampire Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Progress update (since I posted this thread originally last friday). The majority of the bulk code is done. All the location finding code is done for now. The next bulk code hurdle is the code that actually spawns the AI, keeps track of them, cleans them up, and caches them. VEMF will cache units that are not near players and respawn them in when players get near to save on server resources which should further minimize lag and allow for more AI on the field. After this stretch, there will only be small bugs to work out like keeping temporary vehicles from despawning, or being saved by the server if we don't want them to, and making sure the AI behave as they are supposed to. As announced on Github, the first release of VEMF will include Dynamic Town Invasion missions only, and will be expanded on from there (as that will require 80% of the core code to be done).

NuFaN Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 very cool, but how does it run, i mean is there anything i should do before it works other then copy is to the server. How is this pbo activated etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampire Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 very cool, but how does it run, i mean is there anything i should do before it works other then copy is to the server. How is this pbo activated etc.. It's not done yet, but you would take the @VEMF folder once it's done and put it on your server. Then you would modify your server's launch parameters to include it. Then you can either run it as-is with the default Config, or modify it in the PBO, or copy it to the Mission.PBO root and modify it.

How is this pbo activated etc.. TheVampire will include instructions when it's ready, at a guess it would be added to the addons folder and automatically loaded or possibly via an init.sqf :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't that mean the players would need to download it and add it to their command line too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
