puzzola 10 Posted October 29, 2010 Hi, until now it seamed that AI indicated enemy position in an almost random way. Now (playing in the lowlands map) I experienced AI and my character too giving enemy position exacltly in the opposite direction of the enemy position. Anyone experienced the same? Do you know if it's something related to that specific map. Something related to some axis setting or only an occurrence? Bye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted October 30, 2010 How is the formation looking when this happens? Does your wedge look like a wedge /\ or a vee \/ ? When you stop, do your men face the expected direction, or do they turn and look elsewhere? This messed up formation problem, that I am experiencing frequently, will cause units to report enemies is really wacky directions. It's for me a game breaker, as I can't trust what the AI is saying or doing. I've had it on Utes and Chernarus, so I think it's island independent. At least, I'm expecting that to cause your problems. More here: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/11064 http://dev-heaven.net/issues/8973 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puzzola 10 Posted November 5, 2010 Thank you for your reply.From the reports you signalled, the AI indication is useless till they stopped and only if they stopped in the same direction of the leader or if I know where is facing the AI that speaks. As far as I can't know such thing in battle, seams that I must to use map again. Thanks ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AI teammates refuse to take into account the change of heading by the leader (even if I run 10-20 meters) and the formation remains unchange. "Gamebreaker"...well said..

old_painless 182 Posted November 9, 2010 Hi, in OA we got the clock indicator on the screen (lower right corner). Are you saying that calls are not related to that clock ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puzzola 10 Posted November 9, 2010 I play ArmA2 standalone. I was thinking of buying OA but spent more than a year to set properly the game and I don't want to mess all again. So I don't know what features I am missing. After that I prefer something about Viet-nam or '60 -'70 middle east that thoose modern toys :p. Maybe later........ What's your counsel?

old_painless 182 Posted November 10, 2010 At least consider these things: More and more mods will be for the A2+OA combo, ie. Combined Operations. Same with patches; not many patches, if any, will come out for A2 only. There are some vietnam mods available already, take a look into the Addon & Mods - Complete forum -OP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puzzola 10 Posted November 10, 2010 If I add OA, can I still play ArmA2 uneffected by OA issues or changes? Can I stop to Arma2 patch 1.05? Do installation or patches of OA change general configs and profile or are separate from Arma2? Installation folders are separate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old_painless 182 Posted November 10, 2010 Sorry, but don't know all the exact answers. If it helps, I installed OA after having Arma2 installed. It installed into the same directory, but there are separate executables to run. So if you want to run Arma2 "classic" you can still do that. -OP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or they use different ones? Thank you for answering ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old_painless 182 Posted November 11, 2010 Hm, no I don't know if installing OA will overwrite Arma2 pbo's. Guess that is what you are asking? You could try searching some of the threads related to running Combined operations - I think they are in General.

puzzola 10 Posted November 11, 2010 Thank for the good link mate, but it spoiled me of that bit of curiosity about OA :D (for now :p) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whitebishop 10 Posted November 14, 2010 the problem with the wrong orientation (i.e. from time to time the squad does not adapt to the heading of the leader, even if the leader moves towards a new direction) still persits with the new patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
