Quickstart

Getting Started

Follow these steps to create a simple mission with ALiVE. In this scenario the OPFOR will be occupying the whole island while BLUFOR will start at a small base and move out to seize objectives.

If you want to you add any friendly AI units or player vehicles you need to make sure they don't get 'Profiled' by ALiVE. You can do this by syncing them to the Profile Module and selecting 'Do Not Profile Synced Units' in the module settings.

Core Modules

To begin with, place the Core modules. These should not be synced to anything.

1. Place a Requires Alive module
2. Place a Profile Module
3. Place an Admin Actions module
4. Place a Database Module(NOTE: this requires a login to the Database)
5. Place a player Persistence module and configure parameters as desired

BLUFOR

Next, we'll set up a base for BLUFOR. The AI need a base to start from so make sure there is some type of military building within he marker area, such as a barracks or compound.

1. Place at least one playable unit on the map
2. Place an area marker zone and name it BLUFOR_1
3. Place a Military Placement module in your BLUFOR base, choose the desired options (e.g. light infantry, company strength) and faction and add the marker zone name to the TAOR box (type in BLUFOR_1)
4. Place an OPCOM module for BLUFOR and select Invasion mode in the options
5. Sync(F5) the BLUFOR Mil Placement module to your BLUFOR OPCOM module

OPFOR

Now add some OPFOR occupying the rest of the map

1. Place a second Mil Placement module, select desired options (e.g. Light Inf, Battalion Strength) and an OPFOR faction. Type the name of the BLUFOR base marker into the Blacklist box (BLUFOR_1)
2. Place a Civ Placement module and select desired options. Once again, type the name of the BLUFOR base marker into the Blacklist box (BLUFOR_1)
3. Place an OPCOM module, set it to OPFOR and select Occupy mode
4. Sync the OPFOR Mil Placement and Civ Placement modules to your OPFOR OPCOM module
5. Place a CQB module, set the OPFOR faction and sync it to the Civ Placement module

Start the Invasion

1. Finally, sync the BLUFOR OPCOM module to the OPFOR Mil Placement and Civ Placement module
2. Save and play!
