jolivan77 0 Posted September 15, 2004 I tried and must say i likeit. I fought more than 1 hour and didn't finish the battle. I don't know what is GMR effects but it looks cool, especially chopper crash. Can you tell how to play on another map with this templete mission? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Locke@Germany 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Good work djukel. Makes a lot of fun to play with. one suggestion would be to make the Bases a little bit larger, as it seems quite funny to see around 30 Soldiers + 3 M1A1 Tanks emerge from one Garage and one small Shed. Also the basedefence could be tuned up a bit. Almost forgott to mention a little bug I've encountered, when starting a mission you've got the option to not Lead any Team. Selecting this option before the Group you should Lead is Spawned results in a error message, also the first soldier of this group leaves the Shed, walks a few meters, is deleted, spawned, deleted, spawned, deleted... and so on.

-)rStrangelove 0 Posted September 18, 2004 Cool thing. Haven't tested yet, but as i'm in the process of developing a similar ai, i'd like to ask you how long it took you to get this version together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djukel 0 Posted September 18, 2004 )rStrangelove @ Sep. 18 2004,10:22)]Cool thing. Haven't tested yet, but as i'm in the process of developing a similar ai, i'd like to ask you how long it took you to get this version together. I started this a couple of month ago, but it is dosn't mean anything. I am still learning to write scripts. Jolivan77: GMR effects is Goldmember's Realistic Explosion MOD effects. I changed a little and put some new thing, like vehicle trackdust, burning tankcrew, fireballs and aircraft crash. Template misson in new version can be easily used, just you should place some objects - one base spot, 3 alternative heliport spots, 3 alternative supple depot spots - per side and can play. Locke@Germany: I made base as small as possible in order to can be placed many spots on map. Unfortunately there is no much convenient flat ground on maps. You want more buildings or bigger area? The next version contains lots of improvements. I fixed bugs and optimized scripts. Now you can take part in any action on the map. In battlefield you can control mortarfire and minefield deployments and can leave your fighting group and take part in any mission (commando: to blow up enemy supply depot or capture enemy heliport; supply: escort supply team to supply depot and back to base; recapture: retake occupied heliport or supple depot) you want.

You want more buildings or bigger area? Would be cool if they would be a little bit larger, maybe 3 or 4 buildings more, and some more defenses (AA & AT weapons). Looking forward to the next release Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jolivan77 0 Posted September 20, 2004 Ok thanks! Another thing. When I checked vehicles config in army.pbo noticed almost every tanks has two types, M1A1_A and M1A1_B but did not see difference beetwen them? It is an unfinished thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, in next version there will be two tank/apc variants. Variant "A" has AntiAir ability - machinegun or missile can target aircraft -, variant "B" has default BIS config.

jolivan77 0 Posted September 25, 2004 Satellite rocks! Best thing to watch blackops in action when they try to blow up building. I forgot to say It happened at night so I used nightvison mode! I hope you finish to make available to give orders to group through satellite. As I saw there are many variables in the scripts, please give a description for values if somebody want to change something! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djukel 0 Posted October 16, 2004 Any updates? Under construction. Here is some. I rewrote group morale calculation script, different armortype has different influence to morale. The various group action - attack, close up, cover, retreat - take place on more adequate morale level. There will be an time accelerate/weather change option. For example you can play the whole day in one hour if you change Time pass to 24x. I think much more interesting to fight day and night, and different weather in the same battle. I am now working on the ingame waypoint editor, you can add-delete-move group waypoint easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
