Can you please  make optional addon to prevent AI go prone at all? 

For strange reason this not work for me 

class CfgPatches
{
	class AI_Overhaul
	{
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 0.1;
		requiredAddons[] = {};
	};
};
class CfgSurfaces {
	class Default {
		AIAvoidStance = 2;
	};
};

Hi @sammael,

That's a bit out of the scope of this addon, and can't be done with animations unless you wanted to restrict player as well.

However your config works, I tested two squads running towards each other on Malden's desert, and they didn't go prone once.

 

Try adding this two parameters to your class AI_Overhaul:

requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F_Enoch_Loadorder"};
units[] = {"Man_F"};

Amazing mod, really enjoying it!

 

One thing i noticed that i'm no longer able to walk at "normal" speed when i have my rifle raised, seems like i'm stuck in a slower pace. Is there any way i can re-enable toggling between the faster and the slower pace? Kind of makes CQB more difficult.

 

Thanks in advance

The walk speed with rifle raised is actually faster with the mod. You may be referring to tactical/combat pace speed which is a bit slower, but you have an optional pbo you can copy into the addons folder (cast_vanilla_prone_sprint_speed.pbo). That will restore combat pace speed to vanilla. If you are actually referring to walking you may have a conflicting addon. If you want me to check your mod list private message me and I can try and build a compatibility patch.

If it's some other animation and i'm not understanding you correctly please expand. Thank you.

 

Cheers!

[Michael_Patton 2]

I'll try to make a video to better illustrate what i mean. I've tried the optional pbo, but this didn't fix my issue.

 

Edit Found the culprit and removed it, now it works 🙂 Thanks for the help'

Cool, i'm glad.

If you could post the culprit would be nice.

Cheers.

I noticed this is no longer compatible with Project Injury Reaction – or at least the option to disable idle animations / weapon lowering when crouching does not work. To be fair mods that mess with similar things tend to conflict with each other, but a couple months back they seemed to work perfectly fine together and I didn't experience any issues. 

 

I have pondered for couple days which one I should disable, but if you are still around and at some point have some free time to dedicate for it, the best solution of course would be a compatibility patch. The PiR developer seems to update the mod quite often, so I would make sure to take backup copies of both in order not to run into similar kind of trouble any time soon.

[RCA3 593]

@Hautautujaaa ,
Bad news, my friend. The mods are incompatible in the sense that both are doing similar things, and too many animations (speed and more) are being customized on both mods.

PiR is conflicting with several optional .pbo's of C.A.S.T. and I would have to make compatibility patches for each one of them which would be a lot of work.

I'm afraid it is going to have to be one or the other.

Appreciate the interest though.

Cheers.

 

edit: works with PiR after all, just need to upload.

No problems mate! 

 

On a positive note, C.A.S.T. should be compatible with ACE3, right? I had to disable it because it was incompatible with PiR, but now that it is out of the picture I might re-enable ACE3 again. As much as I'm going to miss the hit animations of PiR, your mod is invaluable for my Arma experience. 😆

[blackburnrus 31]

Found a bug. Weapon in the hands is shaking when you crouch

 

[RCA3 593]

@blackburnrus

Hey, thanks man,

Never noticed it before 🙂 , but happens in vanilla as well 😛.

It's the same animation so wouldn't be an obvious reason for it to be C.A.S.T.'s fault.

[blackburnrus 31]

damn, you are right. it is vanila)

[RCA3 593]

Changelog:

v1.8.2

added: auto lower missing animations rifle left, right, backwards, BL/BR.

added: arma2 missing animations rifle lowered running left, right, backwards, BL/BR.

added: arma2 sprint animations rifle and unarmed.

added: Project Injury Reaction compatibility patch with optionals arma2_anims, auto_lower_rifle and no_idle_anims.

added: optional kneel_tactical_auto_lower_rifle.

changed: added more crew and cargo idle anims and moved to cast_no_idle_anims_vehicles.pbo. Only FFV's have idle movement due to technical limitations (can't pull rifle up with fire button when anim speed is 0).

tweaked: kneel tactical raised rifle to vanilla speed (bit slower).

changed: renamed some compatibility patch folders, update your mods lists.

 

- -

ArmA3 Old Running Animation by MasterWolf was replaced by included Arma 2 sprint animations (rifle and unarmed), use it only if you're not using cast_arma2_anims.pbo or if you want A2 one-handed pistol sprint.

PiR patch is up!

That's it, enjoy.

Yes, there's a patch folder for ACE3.

[HBAOplus 14]

Hi, I test the version 1.8.2(and ACE3 patch), then found out that when lower the rifle and standing, the 2nd and 3rd movement speed(run and tactical pace) are the same(15km/h). Is that intentional?

Yes, intention was to replace the running lowered tactical animation with running lowered. Actually an ACE team idea.

[FoxHoundSWE 12]

Been awhile since anyone commented here but I was wondering about the running and tactical speed with lowered weapon being the same. What's the reasoning behind that? As it is currently, this change makes it impossible to use tactical speed, lowered weapon, as a slow but steady jog that conserves stamina. We're losing out on what our group was considering a great feature for long slogs through the terrain. 

 

Thanks,

Fox

Hey, thanks for the input.

I want the animations to look as smooth as possible and I thought lowering that animation speed wouldn't look good. I was wrong, I lowered it a bit (12kmh) and looks alright and performs the function you desire.

Hope it's enough for cross country 😁.
