ASR AI 3

[SavageCDN 231]

No to AI medic auto healing (unless that is a WIP feature?), enemy radio feature the sharing 'distance' is set in the userconfig file along with a bunch of other settings.

Robalo we are using your mod since arma2 and we are quite happy with it.

Here are some points im thinking about:

- what aiming skill is recommented for realistic hit by ai? we had yesterday 0.2 and it was heavy they killed us from a flying helicopter

- flanking is great but sometimes it would be cooler to not attack and wait for another group to attack at the same time or just stay away and wait e.g. the armored vehicle is destroyed the enemy have.

- the state of alertness stay not long enough or i dont know. we had to attack 2x stationary mg guns and they knew where we are (behind the other side of the hill). we had some fights with flaking ai and after 5min. we look again over the crest and they didnt attack us, we could easily kill both. It was only 400m away where we had gunfire all over the place.

- some sort of suppression is needed. is there something coming or should we go with TPWCAS?

- having more then 1 "ai" mod is a problem. ASR AI, TPWCAS, DAC, Alive, will this all work together? what needs to be ajusted? Would be wonderful if someday all those big projects work together to get the cooles ai ever seen without interference.

- The provided defaults are what we use at Alphasquad and we're happy with it. However, there are too many variables when you consider the possible combinations of mods and settings, so it's up to each server/group admin to do the tweaking.

- Please read the listed features. There are aspects you mention that are part of the game's default behavior, not of this mod.

- Currently using ASR AI with TPWCAS, Alive, MCC and DAC on the dedicated, working just great. Though I haven't used MCC or DAC for mission design lately.

Will this look to implement AI medic auto healing?

Also with the radio enemy ai feature , do you get all the ai on the map converging onto your position?

Cheers

There are lots of medical/damage/revive systems out there. I can't account for all of them so not looking to cover anything related.

Radio feature means the near groups share information about targets, that's all. What they do with the info is not up to this mod.

Just to be sure if you are using ASR AI on a server, and spawning units with Zeus or MCC the gamemaster needs to have ASR AI aktive? if thats so which config file is the AI using?

Yes, you should run it on game-master's computer. Settings are going to be taken from the server config for class sysaiskill and from local config for sysdanger.

works very well with infantry. Seems like AI vehicle are not getting much support from ASR AI, is this something there would come in the future?

I may change a thing there and there but don't expect any miracles, like teaching the AI how to drive or pilot properly :)

What else do you think it requires adjusting regarding vehicle AI ?

[coolfact 10]

Nah I don't expect that, AI path finding sucks as it is, but there arent really anything there can be done about it, is there?

Well just noticed that when lets say AAF was engaging a target and reinforcement came(in form of armor) the gunner looked away from the engagement.

Noob question here, but I've read a lot of stuff about running this on dedicated servers

Does it work for non-dedicated servers and singleplayer? and if it does are there any special steps or do I just copy the folders into the main arma 3 folder and it works for any mission I host? (also does everyone else need to also have the mod downloaded or is it like a script that just works through the mission itself?)

Read the first few lines at least of the first post, should answer all your questions.

[tripod27 11]

Well the part that confused me was "All the scripted features are running server side only. If a player joins a server with the mod active, his userconfig has no effect, the server scripted settings are applied, even for AI spawned/running on the player's machine." Because I don't know what you mean by serverside, especially since it doesn't seem to be working or at least I haven't noticed anything too different (I do have another AI mod with most of the same features as yours but it doesn't have the increased AI gunshot hearing and radio comms, which I want to use for AI to dynamically break their patrol loops and come investigate nearby firefights, and if you're wondering, I have it set so that yours overrides his)

[TheBigOne_014 16]

I Have a propblem,.. my dedicated server dosen't start's with the @ASR_AI3 mod, i also start with other mods, @CBA_A3, @ACRE, @JayArma3Lib, @AGM, @A3MP, @mas ( NATO SF and Russian Spetsnaz WEAPONS for A3),... any ideas!?

Very weird. Did you put the userconfig on the server?

[TheBigOne_014 16]

Yeap,... It's not a BIG problem for me,.. because i use VTS 4.0 mission with an HC (that controls the AI) and in the HC the ASR_AI runs fine, but for other missions like Invade & Annex with no HC i can't run ASR_AI.

The machine of the guy who host is the server in your case.

Hey Robalo, love having your mod on my server. People really notice the difference. Especially the radio backup.

Question, have you looked into mortar improvements (not engageding unless they have a line of sight)?

I'm guessing it would have to be a blending of AI radios and commandfire (only way for mortars to engaged outside of visual range) to get it working.

[phant 10]

Hi there, hoping someone can answer these questions.

Firstly, what is the correct method of masking ASR_AI compatible with Zeus, can I just put the Game Master module to 'Include All Addons (including unofficial ones)' and that will make Zeus spawned units spawn in with ASR_AI class skill levels?

Secondly, what is the correct way to define classnames in the class skill sets of the userconfig?

Do I put " units[] = {OPF_F,IND_F}; "

Or how is it written correctly (i.e. where do the commas go and do I need to close the curly brackets?)?

Thanks!

Such a mod already exists, I recommend you give it a try: Rydygier's FFE.

For Zeus, you just need to run the mod on game master's machine.

About the userconfig question, please be clear about what you're trying to accomplish.

The syntax is standard OFP/Arma config.

[phant 10]

I'm just not sure how to correctly separate the faction names in the 'units' and whether I need to close the curly bracket out or not. If it's standard Arma Config then I was right the first time, but just wanted to make sure.

I have been looking for a really good AI mod and I had a few questions about this. I dont know much about real combat aside from some of the videos on youtube. But when I created my scenarios, I like some "Not super far" distance fights. I've noticed that the AI still continue to go prone even when they see the enemy from 50m away and their is a perfectly good wall 5m next to them or less.. Is this realistic behavior in a firefight? I always thought it would be wiser to head for cover if they are that close.

[phant 10]

I've noticed the asr_ai3_settings config is missing quite a few options like accuracy and aim shake etc. Are you going to add any more variables to this or is what it has enough?

[Azza FHI 50]

Is it possible to make the AI not able to see/shoot accurately through smoke that they deploy?

[Variable 322]

The AI doesn't see well through smoke. That's a vanilla feature. See PoorOldSpike's smoke tests. If the AI shoots at you through the smoke he threw, it's only because he saw you before he threw it and is firing towards your last known position that he knows about. Simply reposition and he won't be able to hit you. If that doesn't help, your AI accuracy and/or skill levels are too high, reduce them.

[Azza FHI 50]

Ahk cheers. Will keep testing

[oscarmolinadev 10]

Hi guys

UPSMON + ASR AI 3 + TPWCAS AI Suppression System is a good combination?

Since the new 1.24 Patch, ASR AI seems to crash the Client or Server on dedicated games, dependent where it is Local.

I don't know yet, if it is the ASR AI alone or another mod interferes too, but as soon as the AI switches to combat mode, it fires 2 or three times and then we get a Crash.

We tested it with a Zeus mission, where it first crashed the client, then, when the client gets disconnected the Server crashes too as soon as the AI gets local to the Server.
