Hello

I think, that  HC isn't necessary. HC is used to calculate AI, local to the server, on the separate PC and unload the server. WarMachine forces player to be a squad leader. Then if you are a squad leder, AI units in your squad join the combat and they are calculated on your PC (client). Squads without human leader, local to the server, stay at the base and doesn't fight. This means, that every PC (server/client) has to handle maximum of seven active AI soldiers. Also WarMachine code is well optimized. Most of the code uses event handlers and is written as function (much faster than script).

But if you encounter problem, let me know. And Include description of the problem of course :-)

Thanks

IvosH

Hi.

Can this be played in SP only with AI?

Hi

Yes, it is possible. Start (host) LAN server. Create mission as usual. Then use Zeus to place enemy units at the objectives and you are ready to go. My recommended setup is 2 sectors, infantry mission or combined ground forces and short respawn time.

Enjoy

So the AI do not react to the situation or try to take our sectors right? It would be very nice if you could add some AI enemies too (with some mission parameter to adjust their numbers). It's also useful in servers with a low player count.

Nonetheless, thank you for this mission. Keep up the good work!

Game mode is primary designed for multiplayer. It counts, that there is at least 1 player on each side and they are squad leaders. In that case it’s game 8vs8 (1 player + 7 AI units vs. 1player + 7 AI units). Ideal number of players is 3 vs. 3. It makes battlefield populated even with low player count. Mission parameters are automatically adjusted according to number of players and AI.

If you like to play coop/sp, then setting up 3 enemy squads in ZEUS takes you just 6 clicks.

I already started to script autonomous AI, but it’s hard task. Most of the mission parameters are randomized and there are thousands of variants. And be honest, human brain will be always better in making decision than scripted AI.

Yes. All you need to do is to change asset, loadouts class names and replace units in the editor according to mod what you want to use. Every PBO includes the README.txt with description what to change. All SQF files include detailed description as well.

Respawn seems to be to squad members (does it work for AI as well?) instead of a dedicated respawn vehicle (transport). Is one of the main design goals intense infantry combat? It seems possibility for large maneuver is lost since a defender cannot focus on the respawn vehicle.

Yes, respawn work for AI as well and can be set to:

- Respawn on the squad (can be disabled)

- At captured sectors (can be disabled)

- At the BASE, FOB and airfield

 

Yes, goal is to get quickly into the fight and stick with your squad.
