ai command dlc C2 -Command And Control

[Leopard20 813]

One thing I forgot, @mad_cheese, is that when I use your mod to issue orders, my character gets a weird "voice crack" !

I also have a feature request: Can you add an option to the radial menu for sling loading?

[BillyDozer 0]

I'm a newbie to arma 3 and just came across this mod but it does not seem to work. I subscribed on steam and loaded the mod on the mods page of the launcher. I can't access the tablet or any of the other c2 commands. I have the cba_a3 mod installed and i can see both mod icons at the bottom left corner of the game start screen. Is there some other config required that the supplied manual does not specify. Any help on this would be greatly apprecated.

First ensure that you have AI in your squad to command.  Then you have 2 options: Use the map (just use m) to command the AI - this is my preferred option; or use another method that I cannot remember at the moment (but I remember it IS good for on-the-fly positioning of your AI).  You'll have to read the manual for that :)

I've encountered this as well but my guy tends to issue orders in stealth mode !

 

Agree with the sling loading vial radial.

It's done! Here is version 2.0 of C2 with just too many changes to dive into. I really hope this brings your AI command to the next level. Please check the changelog to get a sense of all the new goodies.

• TWEAKED: FIND COVER function drastically improved. Units also only change position if they have to if they have to.
  • selected units distribute suitable array of cover positions
  • hard cover is preferred, but if only concealment is found it will be selected
  • script checks for soft and hard cover in increments of 15m
• TWEAKED: HUD-indicator snapping improved
• TWEAKED: Planning mode: wp combatmode
  • Red icon: default/engage

• TWEAKED: Suppression Targeting improved

• FIXED: Dragging Suppression Indicator was bugged when aiming-position was higher than getPosASL player
• FIXED: Setting individual combatmodes (Fire on my lead) was also changing the unit's Formation-Index.
• FIXED: "regular" HighCommand Groups could not be joined to the player/commander's squad.
• FIXED: Vehicle boarding through radial menu was blocked by dead crew-units
• FIXED: Player can no longer order units to board enemy vehicles (which would not work and end up with killed units)
• FIXED: MouseWheel EVH's now only fire while HUD-Mode is used

• FIXED: Error when unit reached last waypoint while player was extending the session
• FIXED: SPLIT-FORMATION in planning mode would clash with TeamColor Selection

Let me be the first to say.... AWESOME

[Leopard20 813]

Nice job with the new features. But it would be better if you fixed what actually mattered, like the issues I mentioned (breaking missions, not being able to select the 1st unit,...).

[kibyde 64]

Thank you for your great work!

[u-104 19]

Absolutely amazing, i am having so much fun trying everything out!

[dontshootmemf!! 32]

Absolutely fantastic, I was sure you would have changed the way to play in ARMA 3 and I was not wrong! Thank you for your hard work 

[Vasily.B 529]

Rearming and healing.... youre the man!

I'm sure it will be updated on Armaholic soon.

[old_painless 182]

Wow, Mad Cheese, your accomplishments in this area are unreal - and really like the modular approach you have to integrate with other mods like duda123's. So cool!

[[VW]Wrath 63]

Ignore this, I was being an idiot.

 

[bad benson 1733]

great job man! i can't tell you how happy it makes me that you picked up EM in this way. really motivating and inspiring to see. you are a busy man with all these other features coming at the same time too.

 

much respect!

 

quick question about the music in the video (nice video btw). it sounds liek another variation on the arma them but i'm getting heavy rainbow six vibes from it too. something from in the game files?

[bumgie 49]

Thank you for your hard work. I have been waiting and hopping for this to come out.

[kremator 1065]

Been playing around with it exclusively for hours today .... so impressive mate!  Well done.

1 when using the tablet to place waypoints after a short time of walking the waypoints will disappear from the tablet and the ai will sprint from point to point regardless of what the speed order was,

2 when used with ACE ordering an ai to throw a grenade from HUD mode will break some ACE features such as advanced throwing.

Hey just wanted to update you on this, the C2 grenade/ACE bug is fixed, l love that feature.

The walking waypoint bug seems to still be happening, i made a sort video if it helps, once again no mods but CBA and C2.

 

BTW love the map integration, very streamlined.

[kremator 1065]

Hmmm I've not seen that bug..... will test it now myself.

[mad_cheese 593]

Thanks so much guys! I really appreciate the nice feedback, I'm really happy that the stuff is useful! I gotta sleep but here's a few things:

Ha, that makes me happy! Enhanced movement is such a beautiful gamechanger and seing the two addons work together is just rewarding!!

 

The music: It's the first two songs from the JETS DLC soundtrack, I blended and edited them because they were to short :) 

By the way it does have a bit of a rainbox six touch, also reminds me of the some of the dak knight stuff.

Oh wow, that's odd. It looks like the units receive some kind of command which then causes the orders to be cancelled because the addon assumes the unit now has a new, dynamic destination. I wonder why they all start running at the same time..

 

May I ask the mandatory question, are you using any other addons?

 

Damn you said you did not, sorry. I will have to investigate. So far I have only experienced similar things in missions where units within your command will receive movement orders (healing or rearming etc) causing the orders to break. But you are in the editor in VR, lol, probably not much going on at all.

Tee hee :)

 

The addon may not work with every mission, as advertized. It's just compatibility issues due to mission design. The select first unit thing: Please refresh your squad I think that may fix your problem.

By the way @mad_cheese, it would be nice if you could fix these issues as well:

1. In dynamic missions, you can't use the support features or most custom supports for that matter (I don't know why though. Maybe your mod overwrites certain things. My hunch is that it forces them to move toward a task or stick with the squad or something like that). The respawn system (in those missions, not APEX's one) doesn't function either. Examples:

 

I have actually included a check for this very specific mission because you asked. :) There was some problems between the mission and C2, there might be more but it seem to work most of the time. Reloaded savegames were a bit tricky still. You will find out about all this once you actually give it a shot! It's a great mission by the way.

Oh. Sorry. I didn't test it much (I only tested the other mission I told you about, Advanced fierce combat). Gonna test more and report back.

That sling loading feature would be super nice though (for example I have a mission where you can sling load assets from the base. it would be nice if the AI could do it for me and save me the trouble!). You can do it in the vanilla version but you actually need to point at the cargo and then select lift cargo for it to work. (you can't do it remotely) 

BTW, I think the issues with those missions is because you use some scripts from "GetTactical Interface", right? 'Cause I've heard that mod causes issues with some missions as well.

That's just random, sometimes they break one or two at a time and sometimes all at once.

Did more testing and it seems aircraft and vehicles set to slow work fine, the bug only happens with infantry.

[kremator 1065]

I need to test a little more, but I was finding that when I had a group inside a vehicle I couldn't select the driver in planning mode (veh name wans't highlighted).  Not sure if it was mission related or not.  ONLY way I could select him was if I put him on a different colour team then use the coloured bar selectors.
