PS Tony ... have you got a link for those that can't wait for ArmedAssault.info ?

[spangg 0]

Any chance to get it?

I just cant wait!!!!

[manzilla 1]

It's the same as last time I assume. We are just gonna have to wait until it's upload and posted on the site. We are all in the same boat so let's just sit back and wait for it.

I think the deal has to do with where he lives and sites being blocked. If I remember correctly he mentioned this when he released v0.81 last year. My memory is a bit fuzzy though.

Tony, you could send the link by PM to some forum user , then this guy could upload the file to some other download site so the people coud get it without having to wait until tomorrow , just an idea    

[oldbear 390]

Great job done !

New on front page at Armed Assault.info

FFN Mod (v 0.83beta )

[manzilla 1]

Cool guys, I am uploading the thing on our .ftp

Jesus don't you rare french bears ever sleep? No complaints here though.  

EDIT:

That was quick. Thanks OB. And thanks TR.

EDIT2:

To avoid problems, everyone planning on using this with ACEv1.04 make sure you erase the XEH .pbo that is in the @FFN/AddOns folder and replace it with this one:

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=2605

(And make sure every other XEH .pbo in every other mod folder is this one as well.)

[TonyRanger 0]

yes,like what I put in readme

[manzilla 1]

Yes but unfortunately sometimes people seem not to read them, or the threads for that matter.

[kremator 1064]

Tony,

Superb work. I have just played your test missions and am VERY pleased with what I have seen so far.

What I am doing is using your FFN mod for combat behaviour, GL3 for Advance to Contact (and arty etc) and ECS for other environment tweaks --- AND ACE of course as the main one. So far it seems to be running smoothly!

Will let you know how it goes on my dedicated server running WACO 1.1.6e today

Thankyou VERY MUCH !

[TAO] Kremator

[TonyRanger 0]

anyone try all the missions?the time bomb and defend even the another really worth you have a look.

[kremator 1064]

LOL just tried out WACO 1.1.6e with all mods active.

Just me and all rest AI.

Server went to 1FPS. Not surprising really !

Will have to tweak settings.

Working my way through the missions Tony.

PS anyone find out how to modify all these addons so that there is no conflicts ?

[TonyRanger 0]

should better then that,I've try 'FFN MOD only' in one of my firends server(he host the game and join it himself,and also 5 ppl join),all seems work fine(mission is Evo and Domination),at last nobody said "lagy" to me.

but,all AI scripts run on server only,cilent just run very small must have things...

[Anykey 1]

download link on Armed Assault INFO doesnt work anymore  

Edit : sorry i said wrong, it works on Firefox , but not on Chrome

In GL3 use the GL3_Settings.sqf to activate / DEA. features.Disable all functions, which is already in FFN.It reduces the possibility of a conflict between the scripts.

Supressed fire, take cover ,AI speaking etc.

[kremator 1064]

Cheers Telix ..... on it now.

Will report back.

I've seen that ACE has quite a few AI enabled pbos and therefore I might look into which ones I can turn off.

GL3 and FFN should be able to cope with most situations.

[teilx 4]

oh good luck with ACE. it would be interesting do it works without ACE-AI.pbos.

[Hadudy 0]

if you unpbo TR_OBJ.pbo, there is a way to get rid of the conflicts by editing the support scripts and others. the same thing should be done with ACE AI enhancements. this way you can get the best results. im halfway thru to making FFN,GL3 and ACE working. but i dont have much time. so if anyone digs into this, let me know about any constructive ideas.

[manzilla 1]

Has anyone had trouble ordering AI in your group to cease fire? I try to endlessly and the little "stop" sign above their icon appears and disappears immediately. They just keep engaging even if the enemy doesn't see them yet. They also refuse to listen to my commands, sometimes, when an enemy has spotted them and vice versa. For example, he ran out of ammo for the m4 and equipped the pistol. Then just stood there aiming at the enemy who was 100yds + away. I frantically order him to grab a pkm from a dead enemy but he just stood there. The enemy was out of site of the enemy on the hill as well.

I'm using this(with MP replacement) and ACE v1.04. Has anyone else encountered this?

Besides this, FFN is absolutely wicked. I'm having great fun actually getting my ass kicked when out numbered.

[Rodrigo68 17]

my AI will spot and enemy about 5 or 5 meters away, equip a grenade and just stand there then on other occasions he will have a waypoint to destroy a certian enemy and he will run around buildings and trees and he'll run the complete opposite direction and get lost and then comeback to his target and he wont even engage. =/ other wise the mods good lol.

[froggyluv 2130]

Yeah, I've had similar problems with the cease fire.  Sometimes the AI get a little uppity and too independent  

I'm also getting CTD's when running ECS/ACE/FFN and I wasn't getting them before.

Overall the AI is just top-notch though. I was playing a defend the Base Mission in Dynamic War, planted myself on a high-tower just to watch the battle unfold, and was amazed to see the enemies actually sneak their way towards the base in small groups displaying tactical prowess and use of cover rather than marching up in Line/Wedge formation, planting prone without a worry in the world.
