Daniel 0 Posted August 7, 2005 Actually, I'm surprised so few people seem to have heard of VME. VME (Virtual Military Engineers) formally PLA, are a group of Chinese addon makers who have made high quality addons of the Chinese Army, but also made their own animations for specific units, and AI for the PLA (People's Liberation Army), West, Resistance and East units, armour, air, artillery etc. So yes, you can use it with mods such as ECP as it is a standalone addon pack. However, it is the size of a small mod. Also, the AI only applies to units adapted by VME, using the original BIS models. Although I use Y2K3, so this isn't a problem. Anyway, hope that cleared some things up. Â VME_PLA V1.2 - 97Mb / 48Mb News so far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel 0 Posted August 7, 2005 No probs. Â EDIT: Flipping Heck! Havn't played with these guys for a while but your question just made me have a go and wow! They even lean round corners! Download the latest leaning anims (think its DMA), or maybe the leaning is already incorporated into the addons. But, like I said, these guys are amazing! Learnign round corners, gathering along walls, firing smokes,: ECP eat your heart out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gandalf the white 0 Posted August 7, 2005 Daniel @ Aug. 07 2005,23:26)]these guys are amazing! Learnign round corners, gathering along walls, firing smokes,: ECP eat your heart out! Don't forget that they take up allot of CPU power for that skill . I do hope ECP will consider incorporating that "uber AI" from vME for their next release, do it just like VME did: create additional "cqb" units, so they can be used sparse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted August 7, 2005 Haha, just found that out. Added a group of Spetz Natz with a BMP. Everything went fine, the Spetz chucked some flash bangs, we cleaned them up easy enough. Then a BMP rolled round the corner and took out our LAW soldier. Almost instantly 3 cries requesting Artillery support went up on the side channel, though I had none placed in the editor. I restarted with some arty but then it started to lag quite a bit. Anyway, it's probably better to use the CQB guys in small numbers like you say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.pablo. 0 Posted August 9, 2005 does anyone know how VME was able to implement these improvements? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katzelowski 0 Posted August 9, 2005 Well, don't know if I understood you correctly: Can I use this with Y2K3 - 1985 campaign etc. or have I got to create missions for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted August 9, 2005 VME have made single units that have these features. Therefore yes, you have to place them in the editor or download someone's mission that uses them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobcatt666 0 Posted August 11, 2005 why does it have to be added to ECP when you can simaply run them with ecp in a mod folder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zayfod 1 Posted August 11, 2005 why does it have to be added to ECP when you can simaply run them with ecp in a mod folder? Correct Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 0 Posted August 11, 2005 why does it have to be added to ECP when you can simaply run them with ecp in a mod folder? On the other hand, if ECP added this AI as well as Gandalf said, then units would have the ECP effects as well as the AI. Currently, if you use the units with ECP, they will have the good AI, but will not shout "Grenade!", or throw bouncing grenades, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel 0 Posted August 13, 2005 Havn't seen any missions (not enough missions use addons in my opinion), but I had my gun shot out of my hand by the UKF WMIK yesterday. Looked amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
