No Entry Config.bin/cfgmods/SAMOmod.action!

That's a small error in setting it up to appear in activated mods in the splash screen... nothing wrong with the mod or what you are doing... just an annoying little popup that will be removed :)

Is there an easy way to go from the base group control (setting formations, ect) back into SAMO? I like to have the base / standard controls when moving. Then switch to SAMO once in contact.

What is the "HOME" key reference # (if I want to make that SAMO key and not the spacebar #57). THanks much!

I'm dumb. See link in file.

Hey Cosmic,

Were you and Mikey able to figure out the TPW addons initialization bug?

Still using SAMO v1 w/ TPWMods, but the commands on the mousewheel are a bit cumbersome ;-)

If memory serves, Cosmic figured this out. Right now he is working on cleaning up the script and making sure the new surprises are bug free and it should be ready for release.... no promises but we are trying for end of this week for AISS and possibly SAMO. Right now last few test have been out of this world with AISS, and the excitement is hard to hold down. lol

Hey BadLucky... so far so good. It is working so far so likely only a short time and you will jump to V0.3 ;)

Yep... and to get a little Xmas cheer going in here... I present some testing from 2 weeks ago ;)

Peed myself a little when I did this one :)

Like I had seen a Unicorn LOL

Ok... after some work we are close to v0.32 being out to testers...

:cool: ... lol... internally we had a request from RedArmy that made sense so it was fulfilled...

A single hot key for Suppression called Rapid Action Suppress.

The first suppress call in the vid is via the menu

all subsequent suppression calls are via the Rapid action suppress key...

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

and another update... a bug was found so v0.34 is out to testers... sorry for the delay...

this should be the one... ;)

Hi guys....been out for a couple days.

I was getting caught up on armaholic and found AISS final was out but didnt see SAMO. Did it get rolled into AISS or still in beta? I use ASR so if its in AISS I wouldnt have seen it.

Sorry just checking. Replayed a half dozen campaign missions with v1. Damn thats different.

Hey badLucky

I have been fighting bugs for about 2 days now lol... been quite aggravating but I finally think its ready after mikey has a final look ...

I think you will find the newer version quite a bit better in every aspect...

It is stand alone and won't be rolled into other mods besides the new cba dependency

After I get a break from this the team will post a roadmap of new features... some of which will be very exciting

You may also want to try the new aiss... it's ummm ... shall we say ... quite impressive now.

Having seen firsthand the amount of work in it and personally testing virtually every version where in some cases there was six versions in one night lol... it is worth a look ;)

Managed to get a quick showcase of the new features...

Have a look... Ill let you know when it's out ;)

EDIT - Showcase vid moved to release post below

Oh Damn...

Separate fire team target areas... the sustained fire at 2:50... The quick dismount and suppress action for mechanized inf.

Yeah, SAMO totally finishing the Violence of Action aspect of ArmA3 C2.

Props to you & Mikey

It's finally here... :)

Testers had no issues with this version. 0.35 had an INIT issue so if the mod does not init, meaning you do not get a "Samov0.36a is Live!" message.

-pls make sure you have latest CBA

-pls post what Mods running and where Samo is in mod order

No idea why but I have to run AIATP above CBA for tank main gun to fire... don't ask me why... it is just so after hours of experimenting.

Here is a showcase of some of the new Features. Feel free to ask any questions :)

Requirements

CBA

a quick note..

-this is no longer in the action menu and can only be called via bound keys that can be rebound in the configure add on menu of the configure >>> controls menu in a mission

the keys do stay set to the key so you dont have to do it every mission.

Oops ... forgot to mention this version includes RedArmy's Rapid Action Suppress key and StTosin's new Rapid Action Cease Fire key bound in the same configure addons menu.

Thanks RainF

When a mission has begun, goto configure, then click controls. Down the bottom you will see Configure Addons, here is where you will find the default SAMO key to rebind.

Sorry, could you please clarify what exactly we are meant to bind, i found that sentence very hard to follow.

EDIT:

Worked it out.

Thanks for the mod, looks great.

Thanks for helping with the description... I tried to explain it well but clearly failed lol.

If you don't mind, I'm going to quote that in the release post to help other players.

Cheers Guys!

Your description was actually quite clear, but I had no idea that the addon configuration button existed to begin with. Of course, no need to ask for my permission for that, and again, thankyou for the mod.

Hi Mikey & teams,

I've been using the mod, the suppression is not very effective. Mainly due to the 'suppress last' command, it doesn't seem to remember the position correctly. I think it tries to remember my pointer position when issuing the 'suppress last' command instead of the original position. It's random, sometimes it works well but other time either the units will not fire or fire at the wrong spot.

The way I test it is having a squad split into 2 fireteams perform successive bonding. I modified the WW AI Menu mod to include a force move command to make the maneuver team to form up on me when stuck in danger mode. Almost got a perfect bounding except the covering team usually doesn't fire at the right spot or not firing at all. Units also seem to lag a bit before they start suppressing i.e pause for 2-3 seconds before firing. Hope you have time to look into this.

Thanks all for your effort and time. Have fun.

I'm finally back after a rough six weeks at work.

I'll be having a look at those things as well as a few other things like the push and pull commands.

I'll be helping Mikey with FOA as well in whatever Capacity I can so I have no idea what progress will look like at this point.

Push being the command for grouped units to fire on a position while moving to it and pull being firing at a postion while regrouping. It works as of now but the ai have a tendency to continue firing while their teammate crosses their los lol.

In the End, Pull may be more useful but we will see as I am not happy enough with it to try it in a mission yet.
