Zeus AI Combat Skills

[galzohar 31]

Well when you run Zeus AI, you can't really tell the AI what to do. After you issue the doStop command, if Zeus AI decides another command needs to be issued, it'll issue it and the unit will move, overriding the doStop command. At least that's how things seem to be working.

What's a doStop command?

Hmm i havent seen anything about this "feature" yet in this thread, so:

Is there any way to get an Zeus AI gunner in a chopper to stop switching weapons from the M230/M197 to Hydras?

If i tell him to use the chain gun, it wont take long until he switches to Hydras on his own, as long as the chopper has those Hydra missiles left.

Forgive me if it's been discussed already.

This is strange :/ My medic runs off somewhere and his icon says "supporting", then I give him an order he says "roger" and then immediately "supporting" again and just keeps running. He runs straight into enemy fire and bam he's dead :(

edit: never mind, my bad. I had switched to another unit momentarily and during that time my leader had given him an order to get support, which stuck with him even after I gave him other orders.

Have anyone of you tried running the latest OA beta where BIS did a lot of improvements to the AI with FindCover.pbo and without it?

Because it looks to me that with FindCover AI ignores cover now, prefering to stay close to the team leader (f.e. in the forest they will lie down close to you), while without FindCover.pbo AI take cover behind trees most of the time.

Can anyone test and confirm?

if playing with the ACE mod, where can i find the most recent Zeus Ace mod? and also will i need both Zeus ACE as well as regular Zeus?

[AnimalMother92 10]

Because this question comes up so frequently, I put together a modfolder with just the latest Zeus files you need to use with ACE. It's been posted every few pages.

AI gunners changing from weapon to weapon is seriously annoying. Why is my copilot trying to shoot at RPG armed insurgents to our 2:00 with rockets when he's got a perfectly good M230 chain gun to use?

[metalcraze 290]

That's the engine's problem - f.e. Apaches select weapons only depending on the distance, not the target itself. The best Zeus (or any mod) can do without some magical scripting is changing the priorities of weapons at various distances.

[JuggernautOfWar 1]

Alright but I never have tha problem without Zeus, so idk.

[metalcraze 290]

Maybe Zeus tweaks it so that Apaches use FFAR more. I don't remember Apache gunners liking to use those missiles too much in vanilla.

It makes my squad too slow during firefights!!

Today I was playing a furious battle against takistan army in open ground, of course i need my medic run around like a crazy to help wounded soldiers !!

Usually i give him order "disangage" and behaviour "aware" bacause of in behaviour "combat" he needs 5 minutes to preform 10 meters ... but with zeus_ai my medic never go back to "aware" behaviour and so my men were loosing blood all around the battlefield !!

Some problem when i order them "Gear" to rearm them, they are soo slow that the ammo apc is already gone :(...

They don't obbey my "stand up" order too !!

I used this version and server freezes, maybe a problem with the glx and net files?

[concurssi 11]

So, anyone else having problems with the game freezing on Chernarus while using Zeus AI?

Yes..

[Greez 10]

I am having this but only after ive taken a few hits/small arms fire.

So i repair and they stop switching-so i assumed it was the slight damage.

Net files meaning zeu_netcode.pbo? Are there more?

When you do this what Zeus features do you lose?

[concurssi 11]

I'm still waiting for a response to this.

[AnimalMother92 10]

Greez stated before, remove the GLx and Netcode PBOs.

Those are the Group Link related files which let squads communicate and call back up etc. Protegimus could explain it better.

[concurssi 11]

but are there other net files besides zeu_netcode.pbo?

[AnimalMother92 10]

FPDR

You only need to remove two PBOs.
