Welcome new map Al Rayak to the DonkeyPunch Community !!!!!

Well I had a community member talking about this new Al Rayak map last night and it don't look too bad.
Its sized well at around 300MB and the buildings are mostly enterable. Large cities, large map.
Going to put up a test server at 30 players for now. Have to do a few more things to get it playable.

Loot, add in more loot positions for the new buildings on the map

Traders, add the traders and trader cities around the map

both these items take time and imagination to complete.
Please Understand that its not just coding here for these things.
Each building must be entered and loot spots placed down, saved and coded into the CfgBuildings in Exile.
Each trader must get a built area and his own position code as well as animations and such...
Ive got plenty of work ahead of me here with this map alongside the DP Arma 3 for Exile Addon

Enjoy, I hope to have the server up and LIVE tonight with basic trader city and spawns, loot is working in the AiA buildings at the military areas right now.

Ok map is up and running for testing.

Working:
Lots of Spawns
Mission system
Donkey Drops
Boat Traders
Aircraft Traders
Working on Trader Cities now

Got up at 6am CST.

SEAF Trader Camp is done. All Traders and Addon Content are present. Helipads for Boat / Vehicle / Aircraft are present and working.

To ADD:

Inkhli Flea Market is done. Same as above all trader and content, helipads for all and working!
also
NEAF Army / Navy Surplus is done, also same as those above.

In the meantime I have added about a dozen or two buildings worth of loot positions.

ENJOY server will be unlocked and life here shortly

Not expecting everything to work but will let you know what I find.

Crashed heli's spawning outside of map

No loot found at heli / plane crashes yet.

Nightstalker dissappeared from Mk17 Sniper upon death (happened on Altis server as well).

Note: Seems that loot spawns in the old Arma 2 type buildings (like the blue / white hangar) "IF" you are close enough to an adobe bldg spawn to trigger the "loot has spawned in your area" message. They won't trigger the spawn on their own and you can sit in the hangar forever with no loot spawn message if the is no adobe bldg close by. Interesting.

After server restart...

- you helped me with heli that would not unlock (resolved)

- helicopter and locked car disappeared.

- Items stored in crates all disappeared

- uniform and vest vanished (along with all my food so I starved... Lol)


Lots of failed mission messages not being cleaned up

Loot spawns in some blogs after restart but after a while, loot will not respawn in any towns.

Al in your first post, loot positions config was not complete yet, but are well on their way now Thanks ODizzle!

Second post, last night it appears we were experiencing some hiccups with the DB on day 1 into day 2. I have done testing last night on this but was not able to complete a fix before having to pass out for work today. Work closed due to flooding so I'm home early as hell and already working on it. Will shoot you a msg on steam to help me out today

12-29 bugs so far

My flag, and the floor panels plus two crates I setup last night (which survived at least 2 reboots) were gone today.

Lift / Sling load is buggy. Bought a new chopper, sling load didn't work but R3 lift did.

About half of the time, when I dropped a vehicle, it would stop, hanging in mid air. If I approached too close, I would be killed! If I got close enough to do an inventory, I could not get in the vehicle. If I lifted it again and set it back down, USUALLY it would work normally and I could get in and then sell it.

And what are all those guys up at the "T" in the road by Al Dana doing Looks like they need some beer or something!

Over the past several days, tons of bug fixes and upgrades have been made
The mission file is under 1 mb now!

CUP weapons are completely integrated into this map.
It was added to loot, traders and pricing. ALL OF EM
It was also added to the Mission AI and the Mission Loot Crates

Arma 3 for Exile was also done the same way

Loot tables were properly compiled with provided compiler by EXILE Devs. I did add in all the new stuff from 0.9.4

Purchased vehicles now come with 0 ammo and you must rearm them at the full service stations(shed on top with 3 pumps)

Mission system upgraded to include AI Kills in database kill tracking

Status Bar on the bottom now includes true to database Kills and Deaths(was on the old DonkeyPunch Hero/Bandit system from Epoch days-ported over to exile)

New missions added VTOL and Harrier. Osprey and AV8B both can be taken off Vertically with auto-hover. ENJOY!

Since the vehicles purchased come with 0 ammo and you need to purchase your own vehicle ammo. I have turned on persistant ammo! its on and live as of right now.

Tons more features and bug fixes over the past 3 days.

Hero and Bandit Rank is now in. All mission AI and players score you Rank.
Hero and Bandit Traders are now in my addon for next release later today! Alpha 4 here we come!
Vehicle Skins are now in my addon, the first test was the monster truck texture for the offroad

Cup Units will be in the Hero and Bandit Traders later today!
I still have to make the traders cities before we can go live with the Addon and the new trader setup.
Yes there ARE items that will be specific to the HERO and BANDIT traders. I do not have a list of them for you right now.
However, APDS ammo. some thermal optics. Armed vehicles and FFV vehicles. Everything will still be able to be sold by anyone!

Well we ring in the new year on a high not. Both servers saw almost 20 players through the primetime. Well more features today, ENJOY!
