- 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.

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).

Here's a show to my dedication. :lol:
 
I managed to get the Arma 2 Guitar addon to work on Arma 3, and took all day putting together this to help my plea. I also retextured the guitar a bit.
 
All addon credit goes to USSR Sniper of course.
 
Imagine walking through the threatening world to come across this.
 

 
The song list is "He was a Good Stalker" followed by an Unnamed guitar track from Metro 2033.
 
10 points for the person who recognizes the line written on the Guitar. ;)

Of course you did  :rolleyes:

:lol:
Cen making new friends, as always.

my buddy showed me a little trick yesterday.
 
if you hit esc and go to your audio menu, you dont have to change any sound settings but if you hit ok and go back into the game then it'll get rid of the fireplace sound.
 
just something to hold you off until the bug gets fixed

Hi,
 
I was wondering what anyone thought of the idea of a temporary safe zone initiated by two players. Something like, if two players meet and agree to a handshake they become invulnerable to each other, with a time off when the handshake is broken perhaps by distance. It's an ancient idea. My thinking is that it might encourage more depth in the game play.
 
P&L

Good idea, maybe not a full on safe zone, some kind of amnesty zone ? A 'portable safe zone' would be far too exploitable. Players entering are made aware and would take a penalty if the amnesty is broken by them or they could choose to join the zone, players within would need a means of 'checking in their weapons at the door'. A balance of realistic punishment for killing from outside the zone and blocking members from taking arms would need to be found.. 

Tents. Made out of animal skins. And Sticks. Shaped into a conical form of some sort. BRILLIANT!  :)

Given the difference between 7.62 and 5.56 ammo that's not astonishing.
 
5.56 has mainly been introduced because the "soft kill per ammo weight" ratio is better. 7.62 is overkill on unarmored targets at less then let's guess 300m, so you can save on ammo weight your GI has to pack for one engagement.
On the other hand 5.56 lacks penetration even against body armor at medium ranges.

Hey! Look at this! An entire subforum JUST for talking about DZMS!!!
 
http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/52-dzms-dayz-mission-system/

Rhino has came downhill a lot since he started. Around the time 7 Days to Die was released, I couldn't take it anymore and unsubbed.
I'm still unpleasantly surprised when I come across a video of his.

Mells House servers are not hived. 
 
If anything, with all the bugs, it hurts our servers. Yes we are the ones that run the patch in order to make sure that it's near perfect when the patch is released, but the reason i say hurt is because:
 
If a person joins Mells House during patch test (RC build) for the first time, see the bugs and errors, that person now has the conception that Mells House servers are buggy. Not always a good thing. Luckily there are people out there that understand that it's testing the patch before release and can understand the bugs, thus making the conception non existent.

I think a Desert patrol vehicle with no weapon attachment like in the picture bellow would be perfect fit for this mod. Being able to shoot from both seats except in the driving position while being vulnerable to small arms, road blocks and ambushes would be pretty good stuff.

So I'm beginning work on the bulk of the code for VEMF, and since I don't have a dev server to work on, I need to ask some general questions.
I'll probably have more, but this is it so far.
 
1. What side are Antagonists on? (Civ/West/East/Independent) or are they only hostile by a script? (No Relations)
 
2. What side are the Soldiers on when they spawn in? (As Above)
 
3. Does the player change sides at any point? (On Death, After Spawn, etc)
 
4. What side are the traders on? (I'm assuming the same as the player)
 
If someone with a server can answer these, it would be awesome. Thanks.
