@SpyderBlack723 Tried reloading and exporting my 15th PLA faction again using the newest ALiVE version and the updated version of Arma 3...still no joy at all. Units are spawning without any extra gear and as you know from the earlier stuff the faction has magazines, grenades, etc... in their loadouts. The funny aspect of this is as I mentioned I can spawn in a unit via Zeus and they have all the stuff they are supposed to have on them. This only happens with ALiVE spawned units.

When I spawn in units via Zeus all players are able to see the gear on the AI. It only effects the ALiVE spawned AI.

@SpyderBlack723 Was tour faction generated with the most recent version of ALiVE?

Yep went back and redid the newest version and still had the same issue with no gear showing on it.

@SpyderBlack723 You heard anything about the issue we posted up on the feedback tracker regarding the setunitloadout command? After the faction was rebuilt I am still having that same issue unless I spawn them all in via Zeus and then everyone is able to find extra gear on the dead AI when they kill them. If you need the newest faction it is on the Steam Workshop . To my knowledge no one else has mentioned this as a problem when using the faction outside of ALiVE.

So I keep having a strange issue haha, with both RHS, Unsung, and Project Opfor factions I create spawn in and always drop a backpack?

Yeah that is a TFAR bug we have been attempting to fix off and on since TFAR was introduced. It does it to my PLA faction as well. You can see backpacks that get dropped by the AI all over their spawn areas from when they come out of being virtualized and then pop back into it.

Dammit lol

@SpyderBlack723 just wanted to ask a quick question about the setunitLoadout issue in ORBAT Creator. Asking because the AI only have 1 magazine in the weapon and they are running out of ammo before the fire fights get going.

@SpyderBlack723 I have done a ton of testing on this from the first time I found this happening and never have I seen the AI have more than 1 magazine that they have access to.

I have remote controlled several hundred AI troops once I noticed this issue and none of them have more than 1 magazine in their gear; hence the fact that they can't reload any weapons. It makes fire fights really lop sided against them. I have watched them without remotely taking over control of the AI and seen them shoot their one magazine and then run around taking cover, checking dead buddies for extra ammo (we use VCOM for AI control on a tactical level), tossing smoke, frags or placing mines if they have them; but never being able to fire another shot. However if I Zeus in a unit they are able to shoot and reload without any issues.

BUT when I open the units up in the editor they have the appropriate ammo as it was done via the ORBAT creator.

I will be glad to record this (unable to stream it due to crappy upload from AT&T) and post it up for someone to view it and see what I am talking about.

Am I right in saying if I just want to change an armoured group from 3 tanks to 1 tank and a squad of men, I can just export that change to the description.ext ?
Basically as long as I don't change weapons etc right?

Perfect. I like my insurgents have the odd tank, but a group of 3 is overkill. 1 + a squad makes much more sense to me.
