[pstennisace 10]

Is there a way to fix this? Alter the code?

Remove slx_modweapons_c.pbo and test again. Sorry for the off-topic.

Settings which can be changed:

- Blood FX

- Weapon FX

- Shell FX

- Explosion FX

- Burning FX

- Bullet Time

- Breath FX

- Real Time Debug

Great work SNKMAN, this si the realistic script i seen,

i use script-based GL4, how to set it so when enemy AI got fired at or in contacted, they go and hide/crouch/prone near wall of building or stone or grass/ trees to find cover, instead of just prone / crouch in open space?

Im back to ArmA2 and cant wait for the next GL4 version for A2 CO!

[Whitebishop 10]

Great Mod.

The only minus is that the game feels very heavy in large high command situations - for example when in high command mode in the "Dogs of War" Mission of the original A2 campaign. It runs smoothly with the vanilla edition + latest beta patch but with GL4 it becomes tooo slow and crashes.

Not experienced this ever... I take it you're using it clientside? We only run GL4 serverside at HC, but can't live without it, no other AI provides the same level of immersion or difficulty.

It was pure single player. Mods CBA and GL4 only. Playing A2 original campaign from CO

I agree. the AI is great

@All

Thanks :)

@WWIII

The dynamic find cover feature will be available in the next version.

@Kroky

Hey nice to see you are back.

Already was a bit worried about you becouse i haven't seen you around. :)

So welcome back to the battlefield. ;)

@Whitebishop

What exactly do you mean with High Command and which High Command feature do you mean? The Group Link 4 H.C. features?

Which CPU and GUI do you have?

So far i never get my game to crash even on a very big Group Link 4 benchmark mission with more then 70 A.I. groups with 12 units in each group.

[jblack9 10]

Snkman is there anyway to turn off allied and friendly force markers on the map?

[snkman 351]

Are you talking about the markers of the H.C. features?

If yes then you can disable them in the "UserConfig\GL4\GL4_High_Command.sqf" settings.

The last setting of each H.C. feature ( 3D Marker ).

[rexehuk 16]

SNKMAN, I see you talking about dynamic cover, can you expand on this more?

An example of this the other day, I had a huge frontline built, yet the GL4 units were coming at us over the fortifications and open ground, would the dynamic system give them preference for the sandbag walls etc?

[sagitarius_2k 10]

i got annoying with blood splatter if you get hit.

What .sqf that can disable that??

how do i enable snow??

Does this GL4 work with OA?

I have an Intel Quad 9300 and Nvidia GTX 275 with latest drivers and 4 GB memory running on Vista.

Arma experience is very stable in general. I have a CO installation (latest patches). Except with GL4 in certain instances. For example game freezes when I switch from heli to UAV in the open season mission of OA and game becomes very very slow in response when in Dogs of War (orignal A2 campaign) I am the general commander and try to issue commands on the units from the map.

Only modes active are CBA and GL4

Yep that's exactly what A.I. will do while using the Dynamic cover feature. ;)

@stevedrumsdw

Yes it does.

@Whitebishop

Hmm... well your system look's fine and like you already told it run's good in general.

For example game freezes when I switch from heli to UAV.

What exactly do you mean by this? Could you explain what exactly you are doing there?

[stevedrumsdw 10]

Thanks for a great mod ! I can't play without this one:D

If I run GL 4 with ACE in OA is that gonna cause issues? Just checking, thanks for the help guys.

Hi Snk,

these videos are really great.

But, a silly question:

Is this already included in 1.87, or will it be part of the next release?

Best regards from Bavaria

A.

I'm getting this error

Addon "GL4_Intro" Requires addon "Utes"

May I know what is Utes???

Also have Spinning Fire in OA, So it is not so compatable

That's an island in Arma2. I assume you are running OA only :)

[domokun 515]

Any idea why the menu screen suffers a dodgy shade of green/yellow when using this mod? It's weird because in-game this weird filter is completely (fortunately) absent. Before you ask, yes I've tested it and it only occurs when running the GL4 mod.

Dynamic cover looks Very interesting! I hope it works even better in urban environment.

I noticed that GL4 AI-s leave a garrisoned buildings as soon as they come under attack, in SLX-s gl3 they seem to stay longer or forever. Would make urban combat more interesting if AIs stayed longer in buildings.

[MrStregatto 31]

Hey SNKMAN nice feature the Dynamic cover system!

But I have a queston, is possible to expand the enchantements also to friendly AIs?

Mabye not the player-grouped AI.

I think that it's a bit unfair when my allies got killed by enemy advanced AI.

However your work is amazing, keep work !!!

:)
