The base code for VEMF should now be complete. Over the next few days I'm going to get it error-free.
Once I have the bugs worked out I'll get an Alpha version ready.

I was one of those 25, for the record. I've wanted that fixed even before epoch. Though i do really think you all should take a few minutes out of your day to upvote that issue, since kilo has taken several hours out of many of his, to bring this release to the public so you all can enjoy it. It's really not asking all that much considering. Plus in reality, you're only helping yourself by doing it, since it will FURTHER progress the already awesome missions system we have in place.
 
 
Do it.

only 7 come on people ffs

True, but consider this....many of us run solid servers these days, but we had to start learning somewhere.  Why not give him the same opportunity to sink or swim? :)   

Maca has an awesome editor tool coming soon, this will make life easier :)

Okay that's it from me for this Year.
I hope You all are happy with the simple missions script for EPOCH in its current state, and we will see us next Year then.

Hi, currently I am a bit tied up working on the updated launcher, to be released soon. I have an updated antagonist brain almost complete and am planning more work on the mission system in the New Year. We will be adding a treasure hunt type mission due to the popular demand for it, or at least the ability to 'craft' a mission like this. Also, can't wait to get working on the new antagonist, Kiory has been working his magic again.

I'm thinking insane killer clowns random spawn a carnival of horrors?  Would fit with the creepy cloak and sapper theme.  Maybe in Arma 3 Epoch the devs are going for more of a mutant killer instance hills have eyes kind of antagonist instead of run o' the mill zombies?

chainsawed thru the floor.....hehehehe thanks for the tip. thats a proper dick move, right up my street :)

I can implement this if You wish, the new update is ready, but it will be just a change of a few lines in the existing code.
/edit
Already changed it.
But i found a new problem, update is delayed for approx 1h

updated changelog
 
[Fixed] Vests and Headgear now populate with correct epoch variants in the spawn menu. [Fixed] Item spawning now will add the items to a vehicle if target is in one. [Fixed] Disable SteamAPI VAC ban calls for now as it was reported to cause CPU high load, it will be renabled in a future patch. [Fixed] Group invite not working. [Added] Extra logging of player connects and disconnects.

why shrugs?

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).

You have to jump up and down, waving your arms shouting 'take me with you'. 

UPDATE: We had a pretty major performance issue pop up with the 100 player Chernarus server yesterday, A fix is in testing now, first signs show that we may have increased performance from the previous version.

Entitlement is the disease of this century.
 
Epoch devs create something and some spoilt fuckwits who want it now suddenly try to argue that they're entitled to it; because!
 
Sincerely, fuck off. 

Have had work, still in development, taken the same way, was too trusting and let someone on my private test server. Shit happens and it really means very little.
 
To be honest anyone that takes work that way will always be playing catchup with the original developer.
 
Keep updating and keep it out there, put your name in the comments and don't sweat others borrowing your code, imitation is the ultimate compliment.. so long as they credit ;)

Updated

I just wish people knew that we aren't here to play big brother or steal or be the bad guy. We are just here to make a mod we like playing. Didn't think we might have to hire a legal team...... 

The way some of you act is ridiculous. We give respect to those that give it.   We have the right to release and license our work the way we choose. We could easily just not released server files till 1.0. Show me one other mod like A3 Epoch that has actually released server files.   We have proof to backup our claims and will be following though with standard legal steps.   No one is making you run a server, you choose to do so. If you do not like A3 Epoch, run another mod or make your own. You are free to make your own mod that does not rely on modifying our code.   Arma 3 Epoch is not DayZ Epoch it is not open source yet. Our license is mainly to prevent derivative works till we get to the open source state at 1.0.    The use of CompileFinal is for security reasons first and foremost. if you allow recompile you open your self up to possible exploits.    A3 Epoch was made from the ground up and does not borrow anything from anywhere and we have about a year of GitHub history to prove it.
