Yes I uploaded mod folder and added key to server. I also made new mod folder in my root arma 3 folder and selected it in launcher. When I try to join my server it says I don't have proper key. I'll try it again today and see if I may have forgotten something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RCA3 586 Posted February 16, 2020 Changelog: v2.5.5.1 - Hotfix: Vehicle would halt/lose formation when too close to group leader. Fix #2. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCA3 586 Posted March 1, 2020 Changelog: v2.6 - Fixed: Vehicle would halt/lose formation when too close to group leader. Fix #3. AI led groups only. Fixed: Player led AI would return to formation after reaching destination since 2.5.5.1. Added: Tanks now stop when men enter vehicle's "bounding box": setFuel workaround. Added: Bypass enemy vehicles. Added: Optional vehicle variable "AIDCBBOXLENGTHCOEF" to define "bounding box" length. Added: Optional vehicle variable "AIDCCONVOYSEPARATION". AI led groups only. Tweaked: Minor optimizations and tweaks. 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCA3 586 Posted March 11, 2020 Changelog: v2.6.1 - Fixed: problem moving after loading cargo, stuck on "bounding box" loop. - - Since v2.6 if you're moving with AI vehicles on your (player) group, to help prevent them halting when too close to you, define a long convoy separation ~30+: <vehicle> setVariable ["AIDCCONVOYSEPARATION", 30]; 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rubberkite 19 Posted March 12, 2020 Thanks a lot for update, what does exactly do the convoy separation ? would you recommend me to set it on vehicle creation (you know my mission) ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCA3 586 Posted March 12, 2020 Hey, It's just overwriting setConvoySeparation. For your mission I would say yes if the AI vehicles are on your players groups. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCA3 586 Posted March 25, 2020 Changelog: v2.6.2 - Fixed: Vehicle would halt/lose formation when too close to group leader. Fix #4.

Not sure if this is the culprit or not, but I'm getting issues with tanks being out of fuel once they reach their last waypoint, and having to refuel them manually every time. Doesn't affect trucks, MRAPs, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jono the Cutest 70 Posted April 26, 2020 I would like to report some bug I've found last night (25/04/2020). Appears to be glitch if I get in a player vehicle as passenger. And if I drive a vehicle myself, passenger will see my glitch. Today (26/04/2020), I tried disabled and enabled your mod, appears to be yours or I am not sure if it collided with other mod. Please check. Thank you, RCA3. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rubberkite 19 Posted May 13, 2020 Hello my friend, I have to report that after 1.98 patch there are a lot of car crashes back in my warfare, looks like the script is not working as it was before patch, are you still on it? Most of crashes happens between different players ai. and from behind... Please have a look, we need your script, it's not possible to enjoy a mission with a rating system when you lose ai for traffic crashes 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rockapes 103 Posted May 16, 2020 I am still using the Mod version and although there are some little incidents, mainly AI drivers taking 10 point turns to change directions ( no running over friendlies ) and still very smooth for myself Thanks @RCA3, Very nice work, hope you can maintain it in the future 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use the script version, RCA sent me a little update to test but there are still crashes, I think something changed in Ai behave from 1.98, with previous arma 3 build we almost lowered the crashes to Zero with the great work of RCA script, problem is always hard to investigate and understand reason of crash, it happens a lot with supply truck I'll do something by config and limit their speed to 60 km/h and see if that will help. I have rarely meet such kind and friendly person during my arma time, and I really appreciate that he keep listening and trying to improve and fix when possible.

RCA3 586 Posted May 19, 2020 @rubberkite, you are the kindest, politest person I've ever met online. Luffy is certainly a hero and you deserve to carry that badge. I wish you all the best in the adventures of this life. As for the script, I'm not fully aware how it performed to you/MP before 1.98 but I estimate it is due to this script's poor MP optimization. Another unrelated update was made (v2.6.4) but since 2.6.3 it improved keeping distance between large/heavy vehicles especially on downslopes. Cheers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May I ask since you said that "it is due to this script's poor MP optimization". 1) Does that means that the mod version is more optimized than the script version or you were talking about both versions? 2) Does that means that this is mainly a SP mod/script or you are planning on optimizing Drive Control for MP?

RCA3 586 Posted May 19, 2020 Hi, Valmont, 1) No, I mean both, the addon runs exactly the same script. 2) It was written with MP in mind, so it works, just not sure how well and definitely could be optimized (oneachframe e.g.) but would take a full rewrite and i'm just not up for it right now.

Cheers. Thank you RCA3! Take a look at my implementation of a performance friendly Ai Driving script, it is composed mainly of two functions (vAiDriving_init and vAiDriving_loop) and it is quite simplistic compared to yours but could do the job incredibly well and incredibly FAST!

Running the script on a 30 vehicles + 60 civs server caused no performance degradation at all running basically real time! Combined with the Pedestrian running into buildings function it is quite good at preserving the life of both the Drivers and the pedestrians. I hope this helps you get inspiration you just like your work did with me! 😉 PS: I don't know if adding your FSM to this will do any good? PS2: Requires CBA! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RCA3 586 Posted May 21, 2020 I like it! I will definitely try it out. Glad I inspired you to work with something that seems to scare so many people. 😁 The FSM just: _car engineOn false; after: private _stallshort = ["STEALTH","COMBAT"]; _stalltimeidle = [10 + (random 20), 3 + (random 7)] select ((behaviour _driver) in _stallshort); You can use it and run it separately or adapt it to your script. Although I think BI came up with something that turns engines off now automatically. Good job, waiting for a release soon. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LSValmont 789 Posted May 23, 2020 @RCA3 May I ask: How do you check if a car is coming towards another car o going on the same direction? I need to find our of a vehicle is coming on the same but opposite direction of another car so that CAR A can turn to different directions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
