Simple mod idea. command menu

[SlimPow 1]

I was sort of complaining about the AI in Arma 2 in a different part of the forum yesterday and found out i should play harvest red in co and had a few mods recommended to me that would be great, but while i was discussing my problems with the games AI i suggested a idea and everyone seemed to agree that it is a good idea. Simply put, too make combat funner and more friendly AI well more friendly it would be great to add a pause function to the command menu, this would not degrade single player because you can pause anyway and more importantly in a real combat zone a commander is not sitting there opening up a command menu to tell his troops what to do he just says it, even though a more experienced player could do this pretty fast i feel it still to be useful i would actually like to see Bohemia introduce voice activated commanding, even for the most simple commands such as, take cover, open fire, stealth, etc etc all those one word commands but a pause menu would do the job fine : P

just my 2 cents

Well in terms of your own missions I think having a Radio Alpha with setacctime 0.01 or something would work fine with a Radio Bravo setacctime 1 with both of them being on repeat. I think that would work. You would have to depbo any mission you want it in though and some missions you can't depbo.

You can allready use voice commands (with a free software), use this configuration:

You only need to modify the file abit since some key combinations changed from OFP -> ArmA2 but last time I checked it all worked OK in ArmA1. For good results you need to train the voice profile abit, a good microphone helps and you can adjust the cpu time spend for recognizing your commands (somewhere in windows system control - voice recognition or so).

The nice thing is that you can instantly adjust the phrases you need to say or expand.

E.g. if you want your whole squad to go prone you'd say "Squad - go prone" .

<command name="SELECT - Whole squad" phrase="squad">

<key type="`"/>

</command>

<command name="COMBAT - Go prone" phrase="go prone">

<key type="7"/>

<key type="6"/>

</command>

You could change that easily to "All, hit the dirt" by modifying the phrase. Shoot also works with alot of other games, just need to setup a profile.
