-A stash of backpacks would be nice for longer duration 'operations' within the mission

Well, as long as there is no possibility to add backpacks to ammo crates (when you have one you can put it into an ammobox, but there is no scripting command for it)...

And I don't want to place hundreds of backpacks in the editor or spawn them because that will cause lags when somebody connects.

Yeah, I'd noticed that there didn't seem to be any command for it, it's a tad odd.

Would backpacks lag more than, say, the vehicles you can make at the uhh MHQ? (or is it just that cumulatively every 'thing' you spawn adds to the lag present) Could one option be to add a backpack to every unit that isn't carrying a launcher?

Xeno, I know its a setable parameter, but don't You think the winter weather should be default off, it just don't look right on Takistan

Oh crap, wasn't aware of that. Is it possible to add an action to the base crate that spawns you a sack (depending on role) if the secondary slot is free?

[Murklor]

Just played my first OA domination game and unfortunetly, it was a barrage of broken revivals (no actions on many people, revived by error: no unit)

I really think a much more reliable system should be put in place. Revival and healing is one of the best coop features there is and something that brings players on the server together.

During 1h of gaming my rpt grew to nearly 1mb by spamming like 30,000 rows of "Unit slot not found". Domination related or Arrowhead?

[Xeno]

Murklor, nothing I can do. A long time ArmA/ArmA2 bug.

Sometimes (specially in combination with revive) clients do not connect properly.

You might try ungrouping all the units. I did that in Op4's WestINF version and we've been ghost-free for a few months now. That was with ACE wounds, though, revive might still have problems.

We played this tonight on our server, some of us crashed or got huge fps drops at ammo box

You can't compare ACE wounds with norrins revive (and no it has nothing to do with grouping units )

ACE wounds takes a completely different approach compared to any other existing wounds system. Simply because it works for AI units (even enemy AI units) and all players the same. That made some fundamental changes necessary in how to handle it internally, specially over the network.

The amount of publiced variables is simply to high in revive. 15 or more public variables per players (means, at least 40 * 15 publiced vars when 40 players play) + each time when a player dies a setVehicleInit is executed. The problem is, those vehicleInits don't get deleted (normal arma 2 engine behaviour) and when someone connects he receives all that data allthough a JIP player doesn't need it anymore.

I've reduced the number of those publiced variables now and probably will replace the setVehicleInit with events.

Report it in the ArmA 2 CIT (community tracker) it's an OA bug.

I haven't had the problem yet, no crash for me.
