JUST FYI -

 THIS mission/addon mod is potentially in my top 3 "survival"  favorites of all time , know that these many years later ... it's still enjoyed on Arma2 OA by me at least.  

 Some of it is a tad bit " outdated" , but I think I understand it enough< i might be able to do -some- things if desired now.  

 What I like MOST -  
1- No Zeds ( yes over-done and overrated! )
2- It can work Co-OP in small groups. ( Almost EXACTLY what I was asking for!)
3- It's kind of "random" , it really doesn't play the same way twice.  ( Though some "missions" seem to post out of order , or it will say "mission located at "x,y" coordinates and nothing spawns there ever.  
Other times, it does EXACTLY what it says it does , but the Tip/Hint in the map will show a different mission objective. )  But, it is not always the same.  Love that!

 What I do not quite like (minor complaint here):
 - Chernarus map.  BLEH!  
 Now I do know how to get more open buildings , even if they do not "spawn loot" ... one -can- rip epoch addon files and nab the extra buildings and repack into DOS addons.  IF I knew the building "codes" you used, and the new buildings ... I could force loots to spawn in those too , given your mission/scripts as examples.  

 I really, REALLY wish you could simply run/port to other maps  ... a bit easier than basically re-inventing the wheel there.  
 
 *SPOILER*
The Klen Mountain I discovered by "accident" ... alone.  WOW I so got owned , I only spotted a handful of AI , thought everything was cool ... NOPE! lol.  
 That is challenging!  

 For it's age and time, ... THIS was a really awesome Idea/Mission ...

 I don't know if you'll ever read this or reply ... but on the download page, it says to "ADD the RH weapon packs" to further enhance play.  
Does DOS auto-add those weapons and ammo to the in game database?  If so, I have done something wrong I think, as I never see any spawn in, nor get off dead AI.

 still though, this is almost "perfect" for me to run for my small group Co-OP night play.
 I might even rent a server just to run it always.   ( I do not think , MP "saves" are persistant. However for Group play, I could use Loki's Lost Key or possibly even the Admin Menu thing from Wasteland to get everyone "back as they were" if not. )
