Group Link 4 Special FX Edition

[Two Dogs 12]

Having trouble running script suites of Mando_Missles and GL4. Can't get both to initialize.

[snkman 351]

Show me your "Init.sqf" please.

[kremator 1065]

Coyle this couldn't be simpler!

Have GL4 in your commandline and then put ...

[false]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_missileinit.sqf";

// Wait for Mando Missile addon initialization

waitUntil {!isNil "mando_missile_init_done"};

waitUntil {mando_missile_init_done};

[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_setup_full.sqf";

[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_setup_ffaa.sqf";

[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_setup_ace.sqf";

Comment out the setups you dont need.

You dont need anything else.

I use GL4 + MMA + ACE2 in many of my missions(all of the WIPs) and I have no troubles. All work beautifully.

[Two Dogs 12]

[false]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_missileinit.sqf";

// Wait for Mando Missile addon initialization 
waitUntil {!isNil "mando_missile_init_done"};
waitUntil {mando_missile_init_done};

[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_setup_full.sqf";
//[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_setup_ffaa.sqf";
[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_setup_ace.sqf";
[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_gun\mando_guninit.sqf";

if (isServer) then
{
  // SAMs antimissile-capable for t1
  [t1, 3, ["Air"], 6, 500, 2000, 12, [0,0,3], 360, 0, [west,sideEnemy], true, false, true, false, 85]exec"mando_missiles\units\attackers\mando_arma2.sqs";

_a = allUnits;

{if ( { (isPlayer _x) } count (units _x) > 0) exitWith {_b = (vehicle _x) } } forEach _a;

[_b] execVM (GL4_Path+"GL4_System.sqf");
}
else
{
waitUntil { (player == player) };

if (player == player) then
{
	_a = allUnits;

	{if ( { (isPlayer _x) } count (units _x) > 0) exitWith {_b = (vehicle _x) } } forEach _a;

	[_b] execVM (GL4_Path+"GL4_System.sqf");
};
};

This is my last attempt to combine the two

[snkman 351]

Well there you go. :)

It's recommend to initialize Group Link 4 at the beginning of the "Init.sqf".

Also you don't have the "private" scope.

Do you like to initialize Group Link 4 script based from your mission folder?

If yes then you need to change the directory by changing the "GL4_Path" too.

The "GL4_System" folder which can be created by unPboing the "GL4_System.pbo" need to be placed in your mission folder to get this working.

Init.sqf

private ["_a","_b"];

GL4_Path = "GL4_System\";

if (isServer) then
{
// SAMs antimissile-capable for t1
[t1, 3, ["Air"], 6, 500, 2000, 12, [0,0,3], 360, 0, [west,sideEnemy], true, false, true, false, 85]exec"mando_missiles\units\attackers\mando_arma2.sqs";

_a = allUnits;

{if ( { (isPlayer _x) } count (units _x) > 0) exitWith {_b = _x} } forEach _a;

[_b] execVM (GL4_Path+"GL4_System.sqf");
}
else
{
waitUntil { (player == player) };

if (player == player) then
{
	_a = allUnits;

	{if ( { (isPlayer _x) } count (units _x) > 0) exitWith {_b = _x} } forEach _a;

	[_b] execVM (GL4_Path+"GL4_System.sqf");
};
};

[false]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_missileinit.sqf";

// Wait for Mando Missile addon initialization 
waitUntil {!isNil "mando_missile_init_done"};
waitUntil {mando_missile_init_done};

[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_setup_full.sqf";
//[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_setup_ffaa.sqf";
[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_setup_ace.sqf";
[]execVM"mando_missiles\mando_gun\mando_guninit.sqf";

[Two Dogs 12]

I tried it that way, but couldn't MMA to initialize. I'll copy yours and try again. Thanks.

>>Edited<<

Got it to work, but wow!! Lots of lag.

I was wondering if someone could help me figure out what I should do in a mission I'm making. I put down several groups of varying sizes. Some have waypoints for a patrol. Others are placed near vehicles to act as reinforcements. Do i need to name them all CG#? I have some groups I want to use as sentries and named them sg#. I guess I'm unsure as to when to name the groups and when not to.

Hey SNKMAN,

Is the last version really a full package as it says in you signature ? It seems to have a lot less addons included than 1.1.85.

Edit: Nevermind, I had a deeper look and it seems you removed a lot of "empty" .pbos which I kept around so I guess 1.1.87 really is complete and not a patch.

@Coyle[506th PIR]

Best and fastest way would be if you upload your mission somewhere and send me the link so i can have a deeper look at it. ;)

@Robalo_AS

Yes many .pbos was removed becouse they was only used to make the given feature modular but without this .pbo check the "Mission Based" initialize can handle up to 85% of all "FX" features without any .pbo.

SNKMAN,

In the Next version, would you be able to fix the issues with AI disemarking "Cars" to engage on foot. If not, is there any way to disabled this feature on the last version, I'm using "The D" combination of mods and

this is the only problem I encountered so far. Thanks for creating this monster.

[snkman 351]

Issue? What else should enemy A.I. in cars do after they was attacked?

Try to drive the enemy dead with the car? :) Guess not.

Well enemy A.I. in cars will always disembark the car only change i made so far is that when the car has a weapon then the driver and gunner will stay in the car if the gunner was killed then the driver of the car will mount the gunner position or disembark the car by a random chance.

Guess that's the best way. ;)

Great! thats what i meant, only if there is a weapon they should'nt disembark. Any ETA for the next patch..I'm working on a mission and

want to adapt it to GL4

[m4rk3tin6 10]

Hello everybody, I have a serious problem, we increased our served yesterday at the GL4, more are showing markings of enemies moving the map, how do you disable it?

is there a way?

appreciate if someone can help me!

[imutep 0]

PLease ask in SNKMAN's GL4-thread.

[snkman 351]

Go to "UserConfig\GL4\GL4_Global.sqf".

Find:

// GL4 Enemy A.I. Map Marker Debug:
// ================================================== ============
// Choose if the "Map Marker Debug" should be used.
// Note: This debug creates a marker at the map for each enemy A.I. group and gives several informations about the group behaviour and moving direction.
// True / False, default is True
 // GL4_Global set [62, False];

Remove the "//" in front of "GL4_Global" to set this feature to False / Disabled.

// GL4 Enemy A.I. Map Marker Debug:
// ================================================== ============
// Choose if the "Map Marker Debug" should be used.
// Note: This debug creates a marker at the map for each enemy A.I. group and gives several informations about the group behaviour and moving direction.
// True / False, default is True
  GL4_Global set [62, False];

That's all. ;)

Would absolutely love to see some work done with the retarted friendly AI

[m4rk3tin6 10]

thanks !

[a_blunt_rifle 10]

How do i use this mod with Ambient combat module? how do i get the Randomly spawned AI to associate themselves with this mod so that they all use the improvements? or is it something where i need to sync the modules to every AI?

[snkman 351]

how do i get the Randomly spawned AI to associate themselves with this mod so that they all use the improvements?

This will come in the next version of Group Link 4.

Enemy A.I. wich had detected A.I. Friendly to a player will use all "Enemy A.I. Enhacnement" features against the A.I. friendly to the player but will not be able to request reinforcement against the player friendly A.I.

This means enemy A.I. will search buildings, throw smoke, unmount vehicles, fire flares ( at night ) against A.I. friendly to a player.

This means A.I. vs A.I. fights will be way more interesting and intense like ever bevore. ;)

The "Enemy A.I. Request Reinforcement" feature will keep working if a player is in the spotted enemy group only.

A reallygood news !!!

Now I cannot create a mission whitout GL4, It has become an addiction !! :rolleyes:

A little question:

is there a method to implement Zeus config in The config of GL4??

[snkman 351]

A reallygood news !!!

Yes i guess so too. :)

is there a method to implement Zeus config in The config of GL4??

Well you could use the Zeus A.I. values and include them to the "Skill Array" settings of Group Link 4 or you could load Zeus A.I. after Group Link 4 so all Zeus A.I. values will be used.

[kremator 1065]

Wow SNKMAN.... these new features sound fantastic. Keep up the good work !

[ziiip 1]

This reinforcement calling feature is asbsolutely brilliant.:D

[Fox '09 14]

reinforcement feature is awesome.. but if I'm injured they don't heal me. Perhaps.. a medevac script of some sort could come our way? :D

[a_blunt_rifle 10]

thanks SNKMAN for the response, but im not quite sure i understood you. so i guess what im trying to ask is how do i use the enemy AI improvements for the Ambient Combat Module randomly spawned units? or are you saying thats not possible untill next version or something?
