    Hi there,

    I read the wiki entry about mapping factions that are not configged for ALiVE, but failed to get it working for someguywhos's Afghan National Army and the BWMOD.

    I believed it to be easy to find out the faction name, but maybe it has changed with EDEN? I hover over the BWMOD or ANA assets and see this:

    I tried replacing every line in the custom factions mapping example referring to Massi's Africans with BWA3 as BLUFOR faction name and ANA or SGW_Soldier as INDEP faction name:

    // SGW_ANA

    What did I do wrong here? No matter if with this config and the ini.sqf calling it or without, I still get the messages about OPCOMS having no fitting factions.

    In my Assymetric setup on the Kunduz Map I place an Insurgent force following the instructions given in the wiki. Using CUP units for that, everything works fine. As COIN forces I sync editor placed ANA and BWMOD units to the Virtuel AI Module and place one OPCOM (which has the factions ANA and SGW defined as well as SGW_Soldier) for ANA and another OPCOM (which has the factions BWA3 and BWA3_FACTION defined) for BWMOD. Then I place playble BWMOD units and a few vehicles, ALiVE support units (all supports work).

    If ingame in Editor testing, I do get the radio messages saying that no suitable groups are there and also I cannot get contact to the BLUFOR OPCOM when trying to see it's objectives in the commander tablet: "No OPCOM instances found."

    Neither the INDEP OPCOM nor the BWMOD OPCOM use their units to advance to the Military Placement (Civilian) Objektives I have synced said OPCOMS to. But I know there are Civilian Objectives - Kunduz is listed as compatible with ALiVE and I can see the Taliban spawning as well when using Intel or when advancing with my playable/AI subordinate units.

    This is because if an OPCOM instance runs into an error during initialization, it exits, and therefor will not exist.
