Mapfact releases Dynamic AI Creator 2.0 for ArmA!

Two years after the release of DAC V1.0 for OFP, we are glad to announce DAC V2.0 is ready to be downloaded by you, though the development took more time, than we thought.

DAC 2.0 Features:

# generate units and waypoints dynamically in AI-zones

# highly dynamic game experience, because of AI-zones being generated at every mission start

# dynamic decrease of unit number (infantry or vehicle groups)

# freely chosen size and number of zones (modify directly in in-game editor)

# every zone can be configured individually (modify directly in in-game editor)

# up to four different unit-categories can be generated per zone

# two zone types: unit-zones, waypoint-zones, can be combined

# freely chosen number of unit-zones can be linked with each other

Don't forget to read the readme!!!

The download is located here and contains the following files:

Quote[/b] ]- DAC Readme.pdf

- DAC Short instruction.pdf

- DAC AI Behavior Plan.pdf (only infantry)

- DAC Demonstration (DAC-demo, 5 parts)

- DAC Examples (8 different zone samples)

- DAC Core (for copying in your missionsfolder)

- LowFlys EditorUpdate v1.02 (PBO file)

The DAC is again well documented as was the first version. Don't forget to check through the provided demo missions, those really _are_ helpful!

Enjoy!

... and hey, guys, after 1.09: I doubt that release-mania already ended with DAC!

Very nice.. much better than v1.09 beta...

[W0lle 1052]

Ahhh just as I thought I got enough of editing for today... Editor here I come.

Great news, thanks for you hard work Silola

[Teliko 0]

Gawd, today is like christmas already.

Awesome work!

[mike@uk 0]

Thanks for making my ArmA Christmas!

[honchoblack 2]

Thank you  for this early christmas present, combined with the 1.09 patch this will make some interesting holidays.  I will need the time to work myself into the endless possibilities this will provide me with.

I can only try to imagine how much work you must have invested into this, Silola.  So thanks again to you and all that where involved in the making.

I have trouble to download this beauty.

I get only corrupted rar-files :(

[MehMan 0]

GREAT! Just the thing I was hoping for. With the new patch and with the support pack I was just thinking: this mission would be better with DAC.

And surprise! Here it is!

Thank you very much.

using the example in your PDF i get the following error "Missing ]"

Quote[/b] ]["z1"[1,0,0,400,200],[],[],[],[3,3,6],[1,1,0,6,1]]exec "DAC\Scripts\DAC_Init_Zone.sqs"

Edit found out why...

In the DAC short Discription it has this

Quote[/b] ]["z1"[1,0,0,400,200],[ ],[ ],[ ],[ ],[1,1,0,6,1]]exec "DAC\Scripts\DAC_Init_Zone.sqs"

when it should be this

Quote[/b] ]["z1",[1,0,0,400,200],[ ],[ ],[ ],[ ],[1,1,0,6,1]]exec "DAC\Scripts\DAC_Init_Zone.sqs"

Ive bolded what you must do just add the , in there.

[silola 1087]

Hello,

many thanks

How it seems with extensive projects, a small mistake has crept with the DAC.

The example missions contain an invalid Addon which, unfortunately, I have not noted

I have just repaired this mistake.

I have also corrected the missing comma in the short readme (thx Matt).

You must download the file again. Sorry!

Alternatively it is possible to remove the superfluous Addon from the Mission.sqm.

Greeting

Silola

LOL, yeah I clocked that too I just looked at the text of one of the included missions and saw straight away.

I'm getting great initial impressions. Also getting a few divide by zero errors ingame, but they don't seem to affect gameplay any, that I can see anyway.

[silola 1087]

MarkWick, You get the mistake only in connection with the missing comma? Or even if the comma is placed?

[mattxr 9]

i got this error with the camp. Only error i have got but the camp still worked as it should have.

Creating debriefing

So im thinking it could be coursed by the groups getting deleted to one man, or that UPS was also running?

[dmarkwick 261]

MarkWick, You get the mistake only in connection with the missing comma? Or even if the comma is placed?

I get it randomly, I think it's when a unit is first killed (possibly by another AI unit), and it's nothing to do with the comma, as DAC won't even run without the comma.

BTW Silola, can you explain a bit about the smoke grenade usage? Under what conditions do they get used?

[nubbin77 0]

Holy sweet mother of pearl. I have some reading to do.

Today needs to be marked as one of the best in Arma history.
