KP CTI Released

[granQ 293]

OK, so me and ktotte like "lets fcuking make a better cti, more action, less boredom and more realism".

I thought "thats like insane of work, will take years", two days later we played it. A week or two later we had a AI coop, it just kick ass.

So what can i say, check the damn homepage, download the mission, read the manual and all that shit. Its so serious so I had to make this post totaly stupid..

You (and anybody else who downloaded it before) should re-download it, since there was an error in packing the mission PBO which made it completely unusable.

So please download it again if you downloaded it before 21:30 CEST, 2007-04-01

Very nice work. I like the idea behind this CTI. Its no longer focused on HQs and "find the base" senarios

This is really good

[Redkid Joker 0]

It is really fun, I have yet to test versus with alot of people, but coop is hella fun! Been sweet testing this during the beta stages, seeing it develop. Good job!

Your on your word you better have this!

hope you like the ai, the current one is called..... "Storm Kommander granQ" =)

Right now, its so early in the development but we are working to have several ai "profiles" with diffrent personalities. Hopefully we will have several types so you never know if you up for the "airborne commander", the panzar general, or a mixture.

3 sided version would be nice or even 4 sided the island is big enough...

how can i play ai vs ai commanders?

[madrussian 347]

I read the basics on your website.  Sounds interesting... going to try it tonight!

This really has a lot of potential.  I especially like the (future) idea of the "destructible infrastructure for the economy".

Also, the unbound AI really just makes sense when you think about it... Good call.  

Wondering however, original CTI had the bounded AI to ensure that only so many unit would be present at any given time (based on 9 groups/side, and the old fixed group size of 12), resulting in a "capped" maximum of units... and thus reducing lag.

With the new unbounded AI, have you included any other methods/measures to keep an unlimited amount of units to be present, all at once (thus inducing lag)?

Again, overall I really like the idea of the unbounded AI, as among other things, you can have independant garrisons, which original CTI was sorely missing.

Another question.  From the sound of things, the HQ is currently on the mainland.  How hard do you think it would be to add the option to have the HQ out on a ship or island?  I'm assuming that would facilitate the need to actually "ship" certain goods to the harbors?  IMO, this would rule.  

Anyhow, sounds promising so far!

Just played this (with somebody called dan)and it was really good fun. I love the way your always in the action without it feeling arcadey. We tried to hold corazol but it was swarming with troops managed to call in a m1a1 and a load of ai and then led the push to west corzal - then the server crashed dont know if it was the misison/his server or what but it was relaly good whilst it lasted.

also ther was a really good bit when we got a cobra and the enemy ai were racing in jeeps toward the airbase was a bit like a james bond movie or something.

1 thing would it be poss to call in uav and arty from radio so you can do it whislt in the feild as it were.

anyway really good prob best fun ive had in arma so far.

I would assume the fact that the existing units incur a maintenance cost would limit the amount of units at one time.

Don't really know just going by what I read in the readme.

[granQ 293]

Yes the number of units are limited by the upkeep cost, well not really. Lets say you saved up alot of money.

Then you can buy a big "army" and attack even if that gives you negative upkeep, ofcours you can't do this for very long before you get stuck (not possible to buy new vehicles and stuff).

This is early version, and we have reports the economy stuff doesnt work 100% and so on.

Madrussian, if you downloaded the mission you could see, but the bases are on the small islands with airports outside "Sahrani", and yes a ship would be excellent, also like to add so that when you buy a tank at a harbour, it comes with a ship from your base. Had one problem there, it took the ai 65 min to drive to Corazol.

For the question if possible to order UAV/artilleri "on the field", we hope that in the next version include a "Radio operator".

About CTD, some are arma, some might be the mission/addon.

There is stuff I dont have any idea whats going on, and the whole JIP is very confusing.

I just played for a while. I like it overall. I have a couple comments though...

I think I found a bug. If I go in the commander menu and select something, say a Mechanized unit, ..then it says click on map. If I don't click on the map by accident and hit another thing to buy, then I can no longer use the commander menu. It opens up and still looks like its working, but if I try to buy another unit, it will say click on map, but clicking no longer does anything. Its like it never cleared the cue for the first unit I was supposed to click for. It happened 3 times. The first 2 were an accident, the 3rd time I did it to confirm it was a bug.

While I liked playing it and the options are great, I was wondering if you could have the AI control the unbound AI for both sides (where a player could access for his own needs). Unless someone is a dedicated commander or you have a good rotation plan, you have to spend practically the whole time in the command menu sending out units to keep up. It would be nice if I could play and try to do missions with the ongoing war.

Great so far overall though. Just not really good for singleplayer yet.

[december 0]

Had fun playing this, good job.

Was wondering if you have a script to delete dead vehicles. I saw a lot of burned bmp's and dead AI about.

[granQ 293]

it isnt meant to be singleplayer.. normaly when we play we are like 3-4 players that use the commander menu. So we dont spend so much time really, but YES. I will see what I can do to get next version with "ai commander" on both sides.

I will see what I can do today about that actually.

Have to look on the "onMapSingleClick", I also had the bug but couldnt confirm it, thanks I will see what I can do.

Ktotte is fixing with the economy, apperently some bugs there.

About dead vehicles, I personaly love when there is vehicles left burned out so you see the battle, however on a CTI that will hopefully be able to run for days later on it wouldnt be possible so we need to find a way.

The current solution I am working on for that is the "engineer" that will clear the vehicles, kinda like how the EOD guy works.

Not really started on it but..

Is there the possiblilty of having a mobile spawn apc in this i really like missions with a mobile apc so troops can swarm out of it- perhpas this would unbalance it i dont know - perhpas it could be really expensive to simulate the logistics it would take to keep up that many men spawning in one location.

shouldnt be hard, but dont see the point when you got the harbours. It does that basicly.

We dont want to remove transport competly, then whats the point of ambushes and so on.

awsome to hear, fantastic work look forward to seeing more.
