The thing I miss most is simply being able to tell your squad to remove suppressors or turn on lights etc. If you could add a feature like that to your mod it would be awesome

C2 by madcheese has that ability if this one doesn't see an upgrade :f:

Yeah I was also wondering if C2 in combination with AIC would cover most of these Windwalking features. At least MC has done a lot of work on building clearing

Didnt know that-I#ll check it out. Wold be great to have as a smaller mod-one that just does suppressors and lights etc without needing something as large and game changing as C2

That,  "fire on my lead" , "defend position" and "clear/garrison building" would be enough for me, all packed in a small mod...:f:

I enjoyed this mod immensely when it first came out, was one of the coolest additions when A3 went gold. it's a shame mods like this end up gathering dust when an author decides to leave the community, especially ones that require dependencies to begin with. There are exceptions however, flyingpenguin's improved fatigue system was last updated in September 2014 still works flawlessly today. For the greater good, it would be cool to see someone step up to the plate, and be given permission to blow the dust of this and bring it up to date.

Personally speaking......if I could....I would......but I canny!  :sulkoff:

Yeah, so do I. It's beautiful in it's simplicity. RHS, ALiVE and this are to me the three most important mods. The house clearing is just awefsome to have.

 

Windwalking hasn't been online for years, and his last activity was almost four years ago. I want nothing more than for him to return and pick up this mod again, but I feel that somewhere this needs to be considered abandoned? For years this topic has been bouncing up, so it's clear that leaving it as is is a disservice to the community. Wouldn't it be better if someone picked it up, fixed it and made sure it's running smoothly?

 

While Windwalking is MIA I mean...

Not really possible I'm afraid. You can't just take someone's mod and change it, regardless of how long they have left it. Unless someone can make a compatibility patch without having to actually change or alter the original mod in any way..

With any luck,Windwalking may breeze(pun intended) past the forums at some point and see this activity on his post.

 

In either event,im happy that the post has resurfaced so to speak as its an old mod not alot of especially new Arma3 players may have ever got the chance of seeing,and its an essential.I believe this was my second mod to ever install for Arma3,and we are lucky that about 80% of it still functions as was intended when created and made to run like when released.

Just to say so...having "laser-light off/on" and suppressor, is a matter of class names, for what I understood.. I did dig into it once...but at a certain point it was above my knowledge. Maybe someone want to dig in it and make a patch?

Awesome mod!! But the "fly around area" and "land heli" doesn't seem to work. I have a pilot in my squad flying a chopper. Nothing seems to happen when i select it and then click on the map. Am i doing something wrong? Cheers!

Why can't it be done?

I was trying to make the AI jump of a plane and apparently I could do it with this mod, but the mod is giving me a error, says: "Include file userconfig\WW_AIMenu\ww_AIMenu.hpp " the file it's there were it's supposed to be.

Because it break the rules-you are not allowed alter someone's work without their permission. I know that is very annoying when someone leaves the modding scene, but thats how it is.

Correct redarmy, New ARMA player here ( well over a year now but..) and I've never even heard of this mod, sounds like something I should be using to curb some of the AI headaches I deal with daily heh.

 

Ok, so you Pros say about 80% of this mod still works, if it's the inventory/unstuck AI/ squad stuff then count me in as a user =)

I'll give this a spin tonight, oooh this could be so welcomed to my "must have mods" list if it pans out.

Hello dear users and supporters of WW AI Menu.

It was a shame watching this amazing and revolutionary mod collect dust just because it wasn't updated in a long time.

I decided to bring this mod back to life, but at the same time I thought it wrong to take over someone else's work (not to mention that being against the forum rules).

Thus, I decided to come up with a way that not only preserves the original author's work and obeys the rules, but also brings this mod into light by fixing its issues and adding more than it already offers. That way being creating a patch for this mod. You can see my work here and if you deem it worthy, you can support it:

I know this mod is old as hell but does somebody know where to find the files to download and how to install? I know there are other good mods out there but I would like to try this one out in particular.

 

Thank you

It's been superseded by the "All-In-One Single-Player Project" mod. It has all the same features but they now work as some of them are broken in the old mod. It also has many additional features but the mod still looks and works pretty much the same way the old one did.

I am looking for a way to queue waypoints for the AI in the 3D world. All-in-One Single-Player project does not have this feature. It looks like WWAIMenu does have this option.

I don't know if that feature still works but the old mod seems to be available from here: 

 

https://www.moddb.com/games/arma-3/downloads/ww-aimenu

And how to install it should be covered here:

What is WW AIMenu

This is a really simple mod that adds a few needed commands for otherwise either buggy or incomplete behavior for friendly AI units in group. I can't live without those commands, but I am not sure of how useful the mod will be for most of you. I was hesitant of sharing this, but decided to do it anyway. I am keeping this mod as a platform to add other AI commands. So if you do have any ideas you want to add to the mod, please do share it with me here.

Features:

 

  • Adds explosives list of all the explosives in the selected units. Point where you want them to be planted and the unit will place it there. You will get the set off if there is on in your action menu.
  • Safe mode heal. This heal command will allow the selected units to heal themselves up. If there is a medic, the medic will go around and heal everyone. If there are no medics, the units will share their extra First aid with others if they have it.
  • Combat mode heal. For this command, units will try to heal themselves up using first aid first. If there is a medic and the unit is not too far away, he will pop smoke if the unit's health is too low and will attempt to heal him. Units will attempt to share their first aid only if the distance is not too far off.
  • A rearm command that actually works. Point at the object you want them to rearm at and select that command.
  • Opens inventory for units to whatever object you point at. Allows inventory to be opened between units. If you are looking at the unit itself, it will open the inventory where it stands. Same if no appropriate object is in your cursor
  • Adds control on engine on and off for all AI controlled vehicles in your group
  • Adds control on weapon accessories for AI like lights on/off supressor on/off and IRLaser on/off
  • Unstuck command for any units or vehicles the AI is in. If no units are selected, it unstucks the player.
  • Landing AI piloted heli on designated position. The AI pilot will fly to the designated area and land there. position is selected on the map.
  • Clearing buildings of threats. AI will attempt to clear the whole building then come out.
  • Add multiple waypoints for units to go to in order
  • Control in flight height for Aircrafts
  • Order AI to fly around an area. Choose the radius and the position.
  • A very featured waypoint system for units
  • Ability to eject from helicopters and use the parachute automatically
  •  

 

Features to be added:

 

  • Forced move at full speed
  • Control AI vehicle when not in commander position
  • Rearm command to pick up weapons if out of ammo completely or no weapon already in hand
  •  

 

How to use

Simply select the units you want to give the commands for, and press numpad 9 key. You can change the keybind from the config file.

Version:2.02

Date: 20130918

Authors:Windwalking

Requires: Community Base Addons for Arma 3

Bonus GlovePIE script

This is a script I modified based on a script by Suchy. If you do not know what glovePIE is, it's basically a free application that maps controls to anything. This script will allow for voice activated commands to control the AI squad. It has commands for WW AIMenu as well. I thought to share it with you.

How to use GLovePIE

Simply load the script in GlovePIE and press run. Make sure glovePIE is running as admin. Say "Activate voice commands" to activate it. After that use the push to talk button to command squads. The keybind for the push to talk is by default mouse button 4. You can change it in the script to whatever you like. Also command "Enable hands free" will disable push to talk for 45 minutes.
