froggyluv 2133 Posted August 5 Sounds overwhelmingly good -but gotta be honest -is this a pipe dream wishlist orfeatures youve actually completed on some level because thats a monumental amount of work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MON7RCH 4 Posted August 5 Hello @froggyluv, thanks for your post. At this stage, the list is more of a development plan. I have created some of the core functions but more are still needed. I won't post anything on the steam workshop until I have a working model that I am comfortable sharing without having it blow back in my face. After all, I want to make the journey enjoyable for everyone. My approach is simple, build the core then start building on it, so far, am doing a pretty good job 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rautamiekka 15 Posted August 6 This is definitely a very massive project. I'm surprised you've already done a lotta work on the "core mechanics and systems" section, some of which I haven't even heard of. You're gonna need a whole team on this cuz I know from having helped with the partial rival AI project LAMBS Danger that you're looking at such a problematic project that you'll need more than the like 2-3 ppl that they have, who I think work on it for many hours daily and yet take a while understanding the quirks of 'Arma 3'. I'm sure you already know the game has so many of them that it's almost not even funny. And then there's ACE3, which has done the "realistic combat mechanics" part well for so many years, so this'd partially overlap with it. But if you can make this happen, I'll absolutely be trying it 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2133 Posted August 6 One thing I didnt notice and maybe you already have it planned is the Skill level or type of troop. Meaning, all troops "feel" the same in Vanilla all running around with their scopes up with a few guys sent to flank. Maybe scale the degree of effectiveness to Spec Ops as compared to a totally untrained Militia 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if you can make this happen, I'll absolutely be trying it 👍 You are correct on both fronts; I am using AI tools to help me code quicker since I am not a professional coder. This is more of a side project for me with no release time commitment. If I succeed, great; if i don't, no harm is done. On another note, I already have ACE3 and CBA as required dependencies to make life easy for me. I am aware of LAMBS, while it has some good functionalities, it is a bit different from what I have ventured to create. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

john111 76 Posted September 5 This integration of how to make the AI learn,can this be added to it`s flying behavior too? To make it fly like in a old Vietnam-war movie,and use rapelling and all that based on number of times of success previous. It would learn zones with labels and use patterns like the RTS Mod,I just Control+Mouse and set a FlyHeight in meters,and it will remember if it crashed somewhere and avoid pos_X if so. Cesar (air rescue) would be possible with this ,even directing Player / AI it is to hot a LZ. Would it be possible to add a Flight School feature or even the Alexa/Cloude AI if it can somehow analyze a video and copy how the helicopters would land and so on? Can it somehow copy the way the helicopters fly in Arma Reforger? Or use the AI to write a FSM and Point/Drag in map ? Or simply copy the helicopters from Reforger? Use Take ON Helicopters FSM+ Reforgers FSM? - Coordination with Vehicles and Aircraft : Could it be possible to Cesar with Combined Arms High Command to make small troops to be able to stay hidden and find and retrive and hit and run -type missions .

The **Adaptive Core AI System** in **ARCAI** enhances AI behavior by using advanced learning and decision-making processes. Here’s a concise breakdown of the key technical features: 1. **Learning & Adaptation**: - **Reinforcement Learning**: AI learns from previous actions through Q-learning, storing outcomes in a Q-table to improve future decisions. - **Experience Replay**: AI revisits past encounters to reinforce learning and better adapt to similar situations in the future. 2. **Dynamic Behavior**: (basic behavior) - **Adaptive Cover**: AI evaluates surroundings in real-time to find cover based on learned behavior. - **Strategic Withdrawal**: AI retreats when outmatched, using past experiences to judge when to withdraw. - **Engagement Range**: AI adjusts engagement distances based on learned encounters and tactical advantage. 3. **Team Coordination**: - **Shared Learning**: AI units share information with teammates, improving group tactics like flanking or engaging threats. - **Coordinated Actions**: Teams make strategic decisions based on shared learned experiences. 4. **Environment Awareness**: - **Terrain Analysis**: AI continuously evaluates terrain to optimize positioning for combat or defense. - **Dynamic Reactions**: AI adjusts behavior in real-time based on changes in the environment like weather or enemy movements. 5. **Custom Integration**: - **Modular Design**: The objective is to have ACRACI integrate with vanilla ARMA function in addition to other third-party mods. - **Behavior Trees and FSMs**: Governs AI decision-making through behavior trees and state machines, adaptable for mission-specific scenarios. This system allows AI to learn, adapt, and improve over time, creating more intelligent and challenging enemies in ARMA 3. Progress has been slow; I am hitting many roadblocks within ARMA engine and the nuances required to make things work. Will have a more comprehensive update soon(ish).
