Fitz 1239 Report post Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Follow this thread to be notified of any updates to Invade & Annex. If you have any Suggestions feel free to post them here. To report a bug, post here. The server has been updated to Quiksilver's newly released Apex Framework. This is the same framework that the Tanoa server has been using. Currently the Altis server is set to run Classic AOs. Sector Control AOs, like those on Tanoa, will be trialled sometime this week. Note that to reduce the mission size, Area 51 is currently missing most of the usual textures. The previous skins along with some cool new ones will be readded when any major bugs/issues are fixed and all changes are fully implemented. There are many new features and improvements compared to the previous version. Things you are most likely to notice include: Improved performance New and improved AOs More than just HQ and Radiotower! Enemy mortar pits and helicopters actually attack players New and improved Side missions Improved AI Small popup missions such as Arrest HVT, Medevac, Prisoner evac Intense Kavala/Georgetown urban AOs New CAS/fighter pilot system If you join as a Fighter Pilot, you will have 3 aircraft per restart. You will be given better Aircraft depending on how high your Transport score is. This scales through the week. Players need at least 2 hours total playtime on the server (either Tanoa or Altis) to access a Pilot slot. Vehicle activation system New medical system Fast roping New Y32 skin for the unarmed regularly spawning one The official feature list is as follows: Quote Advanced AI behaviors: suppressive fire, building clearance, logistics & helicopter use, dynamic close air support & mortar support, regrouping, automated medics, vehicle repair, demolitions, stance adjustment, inter-squad communications, evasive behavior, attack & defend routines, tactical commander, organic intel gathering to decide where to commit soldiers & resources. tracer rounds to make battlefield more visceral, custom jungle spawning & patrol routines built for Tanoa. Ambient civilians and wildlife. Custom wildlife and civilians at missions, using high-performance techniques to ensure they don't reduce FPS. Geo-typical dynamic weather. Weather for Altis taken from Lemnos data, Tanoa weather taken from Fiji data. Persistent and full yearly cycle. Storm simulation & fog reduction. Dynamic day/night cycle. Accelerated nights, accelerated noon, slowed down at dawn & dusk. Cinematic AO lighting on dark nights. Persistent and full yearly cycle. Recruitable AI. Players can recruit AI to help with the fight, either as engineers, fire support, fully integrated automated medics, etc.. Wide range of enemy weapons. Enemies use a wider array of weapons that those defined in config. 70+ custom player interactions. Intuitive and custom player interactions using the action menu (familiar to veterans and newbies alike). Custom menu system. Menu system supporting custom buttons, player options and link buttons to your community website. Full difficulty scaling by player population. Dynamic AI difficulty. New and interactive side missions. Custom Zeus systems. Keybindings (numpad) to support on-the-fly Zeus missions, including garrison, patrol, attack, suppressive fire, player revive and hunting/stalking logic. Custom medical system. An intuitive and simple medical system for public server play, not buggy! Revive, stabilise, medevac, carry, drag, load, unload, ambulances, field hospitals. Custom MOUT operations. urban warfare AOs for Tanoa & Altis. Player damage modeling. Dynamic damage modeling to make playing against AI more fun. Anti-troll. A system to resist and counter common forms of griefing. Restart schedule. A custom restart schedule built into the mission to provide graceful restarts, reminding players which server they are on and time-until-restart. Helmet-cam live feed. Players at base can watch a live feed of operations. Enemy capture. Capture enemies and imprison them. Gameplay Leaderboards. Track transport pilot effectiveness, top medics and other objective-based metrics. Semi-persistent (weekly ladder). The little things. Earplugs, custom squad radar, custom view distance & visibility settings, magazine repack, backpack locking, etc... Dynamic Simulation. Server-side dynamic simulation and client-side optional dynamic simulation to improve FPS and performance. Logistics, Towing, Hauling & Mounting, Carrying & Dragging. Custom system to facilitate towing, and mounting of static weapons to suitable vehicles. Also linked directly to ingame Vehicle-in-Vehicle system for seamless logistics. Forward Operating Bases. Forward operating bases built directly into the framework, with logistics tasks, respawn tickets, vehicle respawns, ... 40+ Custom object compositions. Many missions spawn custom scenes to add a fresh and replayable element to the missions. Custom vehicle & uniform skins. A variety of custom and realistic military skins created for this framework. Highly polished. Considerable time spent polishing and ironing out bugs and rough edges, a necessary part of professional development missing from many other mission offers. Performance. Surprisingly high FPS (both client & server) for the amount of action going on, smooth and doesn't stutter. Should also be noted that a few familiar things may have been changed back to how they were a while ago or are missing altogether. These are mostly minor things, so they will be addressed later on.

Farqman 86 Report post Posted December 29, 2017 Server FPS has been good on my end. The AO improvements have had a positive effect on infantry as well. You don’t seem to encounter 30 people barricading themselves at the HQ anymore. People seem to be walking around the AO to a greater extent. Have noticed a massive increase in people taking medic slots as well. I jumped on yesterday for a bit and there was only one Whitelisted spot available, everything else was taken. great job with the update and refresh 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zombine45 177 Report post Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Couple suggestions for @Fitz, just some things i'd like to see. Would be nice if in the crate area, you could spawn in specific small ammo cates, i.e. launcher boxes, explosive crates, basic ammo crates and such. Since you showed off the video for putting small crates into vehicles, i'd really love the ability to capitalise on that. Secondly (And far less likely to happen because i know a few people are against it), i'd like the ability, when activating vehicles in the car park, if the vehicle has camo variants (eg. Prowlers) or there's the possibility of different vehicles spawning there (eg. APCs) to choose what camo variant/vehicle i activate. This could also work for the trucks in the car park as i recall someone asking for them to be swapped to Zamaks/Tempests (I'd also be hyped for Tempests tbh) Also, just as a last little bit, id like to see one of the prowlers changed to an unarmed variant. Sometimes it's nicer to have those extra seats Edited January 1, 2018 by Zombine45 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fitz 1239 Report post Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) 3/1/18 Big fat (54mb) update adding most of the textures back in and fixing/tweaking some stuff. I added the textures back as I don't think we'll need another update until the end of the month. Changes: Added most textures we're used to back in as well as some new ones for the Mohawk and one for the Neophron. Added new dark skin for the Y-32 which is applied to the transport one by default. Changed default Orca skin. Fixed spawn rotations Y-32 should now spawn in rotation with the Blackfish. Heavy lifters should no longer have medium helis spawning on the same pad. Pilots no longer respawn instantly if their heli/plane is still alive at death. 5 minute bleed-out timer (half the usual time). Pilots now take reduced damage when flying. Damage modifier will now be active during Kavala urban AO (reduced damage to players). (Always active on Tanoa). Hopefully fixed aggressive vehicle respawn for base vehicles. Unfortunately, random AO vehicles and Eastereggs will still despawn as usual for now. (Altis) Decorated Side base and added vehicles there. 1 Hummingbird, locked to non-pilots only. 1 Offroad and 1 Prowler (Light). Adjustments to Command Surrender stuff. Tweaked some Staff menu and Curator related things. Added 244MHz channel. Gave staff access to Aircraft channel. (Altis) Fixed HQ that had wrong simulation value on buildings. Added confirmation box to first person lock option, as some people can't read... Fixed player assembled weapons couldn't be mounted. Classic AO adjustments AI skill tweaked. AO AI spawn count tweaked (vehicles included). Adjustments to DB stat collection. Fixed some script errors. Few other small tweaks. Known issues: When towing and attempting to load cargo into a VTOL, the 'Load Cargo' option doesn't work. Apparently pilots randomly die when landing. Haven't been able to reproduce this however. Big thanks to everyone that has reported bugs and issues to us! I have heard complaints about the AI being too easy and occasionally pilots being able to fly straight into AOs pretty much unharmed. I have also noticed the short time some of the AOs take to be completed (11mins in one case). I have increased the difficulty and spawn count of some AI/vehicles and will be monitoring the result. As the watermark in the bottom left of your screen says, this is a beta... Edited January 4, 2018 by Fitz 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fitz 1239 Report post Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) 13/8/18 News We have a new hub page that contains some useful information and links, including a button to quickly join the server, a link to the new bug tracker, some basic stats, and links to most recent I&A posts from all categories. The new bug tracker makes it easier for players to report bugs, see their status and provide information on bugs reported by others. Please post any bug reports there from now on instead of the forum subsection. We will also have some informative guides available in the coming weeks. Changes Added partially selectable jet spawn. Provides two options; 'Spawn fighter plane' and 'Spawn CAS plane'. Fighter planes are the fighter jets from Jets DLC and typically have loadouts more suitable for air superiority. CAS planes are more suited for ground attack roles. Available jets scale with transport score the same as they previously did. The first jet is still a Buzzard no matter which option you choose. Added random chance of Small Diameter Bombs being equipped on some friendly jets. These are 250lbs, so are only ~50% as effective as normal GBUs (500lbs+), but there's 4 of them. Adjusted side reward helicopter loadouts. Loadouts are still random, but it's no longer possible for all pylons to be equipped with stupid stuff e.g. 20mm cannons. Added more extensive teamkill logging to database. Added ambulance to POW revive vehicle list. Added Rhino to Ironside vehicle list. (Crew restrictions now apply) Added reminder when exiting Arsenal if you forget Medikit/FAK/ToolKit as a medic/engineer. Added new Rhino skin to Area 51. Decreased reports required for automatic kicking by Robocop. Made it a bit more difficult to constantly rearm Cheetahs/Rhinos from a Bobcat or ammo crate. Moved base AA back to between the runways. Disabled 244MHz voice. Fixed people being run over by teammates not showing in the kill feed. Few other minor tweaks. Report any bugs you find on the bug tracker. Expect another update when Quik releases his next version of the framework. Edited August 13, 2018 by Fitz 6 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TailGunner 8 Report post Posted August 27, 2018 Hey Fitz! Appreciate all the time and effort and countless hours keeping these servers running. There are a handful of us that play on the Tanoa/Malden server ( xGrubx, Zack, Gdog ) and the general consensus is that we would prefer a dedicated Tanoa server with only the Classic I&A game play. I've dabbled in mission editing and can only imagine the mammoth task involved in creating new and interesting game play modes for gamers, so I understand if it's not possible. Anyway, just wanted to post some feedback. PS: The Snipers are BRUTAL!!!! Love it! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fitz 1239 Report post Posted October 5, 2018 6/10/18 Added support for Connor's Discord Embed Builder. This allows the server to send messages to the #live_feed channel on our Discord. Currently shows new AOs, FOBs/regions, defends, side missions and side mission fail/success and reward. Soon, it will also show the top 3 medics and pilots whitelisted at the end of the week, side mission stats and some other cool stuff. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
