[WIP] ZFM-FairMission System-Dynamic,Modular & Balanced (Alpha release 90% complete, Test builds frequently available) - Actively developed

[RedBreath]

Im hooked any way I could know when a more stable release is to be heard of?

[oSoDirty]

I'm Running EMS and WAI would there be any problem there?

 It's said to be compatible.

[Donnovan]

Hi!

How many simultaneous missions ZFM can have on the map? This is configurable?

Thankyou!

[SSG]

Do you have an estimated release date for a stable version i cant wait to use it and really want this.

[Thay-skill3d]

Nothing new here, Zamboni?

[ZamboniBambino]

Things are happening -- apologies for the slow progress. As I moved onto BergStad.EU, I've been busy with a lot there keeping the server stable, and work, I've kept away from ZFM for a little while. The server is now stable, everything's great, and it's expanding, so now that's done, ZFM is back on the table tonight.

 

Also, releasing some server administration scripts for those who like windows tasks. :-) Keep your eye on the GitHub, there will be a storm of updates.

Still lurking to see what is happening here :-P

I understand that real life can get in the way but 7th months ? Come on Zamboni where getting impatient ! lol ....

:D Indeed, I am working on it, slowly.. :P

8 months :ph34r:

[ZENITHOVMAN]

I think it's safe to say that by the time this system gets released A2 will be a thing of the past .

[ZamboniBambino]

Eh, think what you will -- it's taken a long time, but it's being developed, still. :)

[ZamboniBambino]

I thought you all deserved at least some regular updates again, Since getting involved with Bergstad, I tested ZFM and then had to act to keep things stable with the server and blah blah. 8 months is a long time, and I had hoped to release ZFM sooner. I tested a most recent build, but was not happy with the performance of it and have simplified the mission system. I've also moved the repository to GitHub and have been doing optimisations for Arma3 as well as Arma2. In two days, I redid what was a bit of a mess of a mission handler in BitBucket. 

 

I am re-building ZFM into something smaller and a bit less complicated, removing unnecessary features like language support and so on. For the first priority, I am going to get the modular mission stuff working faster than it was before and attempt to trim down the layouts as SQF array performance is lousy.

 

Anyway, lesson learned and time to finish what I started a long 8 months ago.

[ZamboniBambino]

Development is moving along again :) If anyone wants to get involved with testing at some point, join in on ts.bergstad.eu. After playing the game again and seeing how ghastly other mission systems are, I feel refreshed to make this as quickly as I can so I can play it! :P

[BetterDeadThanZed]

So you're going to be developing this for A3 Epoch too? That would be nice. Always nice to have alternatives for mission systems.

[ZamboniBambino]

Already developing and testing it on A3 as we speak. Playtesting the rebuild I made will go on in a few days. It's a lot less resource intensive so I decided to start adding in a few extra effects for the crash missions. Take a look if you get a chance.

That's cool because I have stopped any further development on my A2 Epoch servers. They are continuing to run because I still have people playing on them, but I'm dedicating all my time to my A3 Epoch server.

[ZamboniBambino]

Yeah, I reworked most of ZFM as seen in the repo. Just been tweaking crash missions over the weekend in a2 and a3 so they're more dynamic. This is the "shot down" scenario for air crashes. I have coded an airstrike working in A3 for land vehicles. Apologies for the quality.
