@LeftSkidLow, Thanks! That was a good explanation. So there should be some Torque-Induced Yaw when using the collective, but that doesn't explain why my craft rolls to the right. Any thoughts?

I am not a pilot, so I may be wrong here and if so please correct me. I believe Torque-Induced Yaw is being simulated incorrectly. The way I understand it this effect should be tied to the throttle not the collective. The more throttle there is the faster the blades spin, which would cause right yaw and require left pedal to counter it. Changing the angle of the blades, which is what collective does, should not cause this. Currently it seems this effect is tied to the collective. Also, my craft does not yaw to the right, it rolls or banks to the right.

I'm not sure what you mean? You want the Arma 1 trees available for Arma 2?? If you're wanting a fix for the trees in Arma 2, I don't believe it's necessary. See my post at the bottomw of my original thread here.

<span style='font-size:25pt;line-height:100%'>Durg's Vegetation Fix</span> The purpose of this mod is to fix the AI's ability to "see through trees/bushes". ***There has been much debate on these forums on this topic. ***The AI's vision is indeed blocked by vegetation, however not very well. ***While their vision is blocked, it's not blocked in the same way that our vision is. ***This following images should clearify things a bit. This image shows the tree "str lipa" as we see it in game. This is the same tree as the AI see it. This is the tree's View Geometry. I have modified the View Geometry to better match how we see the trees. To further show the difference, the following images show the two different View Geometry's superimposed over the textured tree. Here you can see poor coverage of the top, left and right sides of the tree, while the bottom is slightly over covered. Here you can see a more accurate coverage. ***While it's not perfect, it is a major improvement. Not all (but most) vegetation have been fixed in this way, as some had a fairly decent View Geometry already. Grass has not been modified. <span style='font-size:23pt;line-height:100%'>Results</span> Performance: Amazingly, there is no noticable impact on performance. Gameplay: You can now use trees and bushes as cover without worrying if the AI can see you when they shouldn't be able to. <span style='font-size:23pt;line-height:100%'>Installation</span> 1) Open the .rar file and copy the "@DurgsVegetationFix" folder to your ArmA directory. 2) Go to the ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix\tools directory and run the Durgs_Vegetation_Fix.bat file. 3) Add -mod=@DurgsVegetationFix to your ArmA shortcut OR use the Kegetys ArmA Launcher. This procedure does NOT modify/replace your existing plants.pbo. <span style='font-size:19pt;line-height:100%'>To make this mod work with Kegety's LowPlants</span> NOTE: When I make a reference to the "ArmA" folder, I'm refering to the folder where ArmA is installed. ***If you have the Atari version, this would be C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA (assuming you installed to your C: drive) 1) If you've already installed lowplants, then delete the Arma\lowplants folder. 2) Install Durg's Vegetation Fix (Refer to the installation instructions above) 3) You will now install lowplants. However, when it asks for the location of your ArmA directory, choose ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix This will create the following directory structure: ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix\lowplants\addons 4) Copy the 2 pbo's in that folder to ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix\Addons When asked if you want to overwrite the existing plants.pbo choose yes NOTE: This does NOT overwrite the original game's plants.pbo!! 5) Delete the ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix\lowplants folder 6) ENJOY! <span style='font-size:23pt;line-height:100%'>Download</span> Download from: Aramholic

You're right! Â I am a good guy. Â Thanks DMarkwick I've given permission to use my view block models.

I have no idea where this rumor started. Yes, you still need this mod, even with 1.14. When ArmA 2 is released, they will have Vegetation that blocks AI sight similar to how this mod works.

This vegetation fix is designed to work with islands that use the default Arma plants.pbo. Â It looks like the island you refer to is using a custom plants.pbo, so no, this mod will not work with that island. The only workaround is for the creator of that custom PBO to create proper view blocks for thier vegetation (if they haven't already done so).

I just found this on the ArmA2 Developer Blog: http://www.bistudio.com/develop....en.html Durg's Vegetation Fix ArmA2 Look familiar? I can only assume that the View Blocking features were influenced by this mod, which is quite exciting! Â Luck for BIS, they have a tool to automatically generate these View Blocks, as I had to do them all by hand. Â I'm really excited to see BIS taking this approach to vegetation. Â I'm really looking forward to seeing what other changes are in store for us in ArmA2.

thats kind of my point. thats what i got. Not .......file located in the "ARMA\Durgs Vegetation Fix\tools" folder So why do we execute the bat? I unzip the file. Get "ARMA\Durgs Vegetation Fix\@Durgs Vegetation Fix\..." which conatins 3 folders 'addons','doc', and 'tools'. Readme tells me to run the batch file. Doesn't realy explain what it does, it goes of and does something, got nothing to show for it. and I'm left with this folder containing amonst other things a 'trees_fixed.pbo.bk'.I'm not familiar with '.bk'. And no explanation as to why MikerosDos tools, or Depbofixes are included. Sorry  I don't like to complain about addons as they are generated by freely given blood sweat and tears (not to mention time).But I realy want to try this addon and there seems a missing explanation here. Or someone has snuck up and whacked me on the back of the head with a STUPID stick. If, when you unzip the the file, it creates "ARMA\Durgs Vegetation Fix\@Durgs Vegetation Fix\"  then it has something to do with the unzip program you are using, or how you are using it.  I'm using WinRAR. Here's a technical explination as to what the bat file does: 1) copies the original games's plants.pbo to the "@DugsVegetationFix\Addons" folder 2) Renames the trees_fixed.pbo.bk to trees_fixed.pbo (bk stands for backup, trees_fixed.pbo contains only the models that I've modified... no textures, only models.. this keeps the download size small) 3) runs PatchPbo which creates a new file "plants.patched.pbo". This file contains everything from plants.pbo (models & textures). It then inserts the models that are in trees_fixed.pbo into the "plants.patched.pbo". 4) delete's the copied version of plants.pbo. 5) renames "plants.patched.pbo" to "plants.pbo" 6) renames "trees_fixed.pbo" back to "trees_fixed.pbo.bk" Short version: it generates a plants.pbo in "ARMA\@Durgs Vegetation Fix\Addons"

No, this mod does not work with any other vegetation/tree/bush mod except for Kegetys "lowplants". Â Even then, the instructions are quite specific about how to install them both.

This is exactly what i want to know. What about the fallen-trees? Any chance to change this effect? Because this is the bigger problem! AI can always lookthrough trees lying on the ground and this is a major problem! (sorry for m my bad english, hope you know what I mean..) Bushes: yes. Â This mod effects bushes. Fallen Trees: no. Â Unfortunatly, this doesn't seem to be fixable. Â

This doesn't happen if the instructions are followed correctly. See my previous post.

Never ever ever install downloaded mods into your ArmA\Addons folder! Â This is where the default BIS pbo's go. Â All Addon folders go in the ArmA directory. For example: ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix ArmA\@TrueMods ArmA\@CSM Each of those folders will contain their own "Addons" folder with their respective pbo's and other files in them. Following the instructions, you will end up with a plants.pbo and sara_grass.pbo in your ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix\Addons folder.

Ok, I have a solution to the "Durg's Vegetation Fix" vs "lowplants" issue. Â It is possible to use both, but these directions must be followed... NOTE: When I make a reference to the "ArmA" folder, I'm refering to the folder where ArmA is installed. Â If you have the Atari version, this would be C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA (assuming you installed to your C: drive) 1) If you've already installed lowplants, then delete the Arma\lowplants folder. 2) Install Durg's Vegetation Fix (Refer to the instructions in my first post) 3) You will now install lowplants. However, when it asks for the location of your ArmA directory, choose ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix This will create the following directory structure: ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix\lowplants\addons 4) Copy the 2 pbo's in that folder to ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix\Addons When asked if you want to overwrite the existing plants.pbo choose yes NOTE: This does NOT overwrite the original game's plants.pbo!! 5) Delete the ArmA\@DurgsVegetationFix\lowplants folder 6) ENJOY!

So many posts to reply to... let's start here.. It's funny how we came up with the same concept! I've looked at your how your mod works (great job by the way) and I believe that you see performance impact because you are creating these VB's via a script. Â It's the script that causes the performance impact. Â Although, with your mod, I don't see any other way of doing it. Does anyone who has downloaded this mod wish to comment on their performance results? As for the "Supernatural hearing" of AI... See the link to TrueRangeAI in my Sig. Â It's a Work in Progress. It includes Trees and Bushes, but not all of them, as some of them seemed ok by default. Â There is a list of modified ones in the ReadMe. Not so fast... Â I believe both mods are modifying the models, in which case your suggestion will not work. Â I am however working on a solution to make them both work together... more on that later. In the mean time, I kindly ask that you remove that suggested change to the bat file to avoid confusion. Â Thanks. Yes, this allows much better granularity, as the tree's natural shape is not a simple geometric figure. Yes the view blocks do cover portions of the tree that have an Alpha transparency to the texture. Â However, also keep in mind that the AI do not see color, and are not effected by this transparency. Also, they are not effected by camouflage, while we are. Â This does even things out fairly well. I hope those responses have been helpful. To everyone else, thank you all for your comments, I hope you all are enjoying this mod as much as I am.

To further demonstrate the changes (and how bad some of these trees were), here are a few more comparison pics. Tree: hrusen2 Before After Tree:jablon Before After

According to the rules of Locality.  In a MP scenario, this mod will effect ALL AI with the exception of the AI that are under the command of a client who is not running the mod. If both Server and all Clients run this mod, then there is no problem. If A client runs this mod, but the server is not, then any AI under this player's command are effected by the mod (while others are not).  This can be considered cheating, so Please don't do this.

We've tested for night missions, and in our testing the AI did not see very well at all in the dark. Are you sure they weren't using NVGs?

I assume you're talking about the AI calling out Infantry. They should be able to spot a man at greater distances, but not be able to identify him as being friend/foe or what type of soldier he is untill he is much closer. This may need to be tweaked a bit. If it's vehicles you're talking about, and those vehicles engines are running, then the AI may be hearing those vehicles. We modified their ability to hear from greater distances as well, and in our testing the AI was able to hear vehicles at similar distances to human players. Also, I'm glad to hear there's a server running this mod! I'll be sure to pay you guys a visit.

@ofpforum and ofp2 We never said the AI could see through trees as if they were not there. Â But they do have an advantage. These two images were taken from the same camera angle. The first image shows what we (human players) see from that angle. The second shows what the AI can "see". The second image is showing the "View Geometry" LOD. This LOD is used to determine what parts of the model the AI cannot see through. @Chopps Yes, the longer ranges results in a less accurate AI, just as you are less accurate at greater distances. As for the NWD_Ballistics mod (specifically the dispersion mod), we've done alot of testing with it. The result is a less accurate AI, we found that the default dispersion rates more closely matched the accuracy of human players.

thunderbird84, I searched everywhere for information on what those cfgAISkill values actually did, and could not find a solid answer anywhere. However, the time I spent on creating the (as yet unreleased) TrueRangeAI mod, I've finally figured out their meanings and have posted the info on the wiki. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgAISkill Your values: have the following meaning: When AI skill is 0 or lower, aimingAccuracy is 0% When AI skill is 0.03 or higher, aimingAccuracy is 3% Keep in mind that the Skill slider in the mission editor ranges from 0.2 to 1.0 This means that the AI will always have an aimingAccuracy of 3% regardless of their skill level or your difficulty rating. I personally find that value to be quite low, considering these default values: which mean: When AI skill is 0 or lower, aimingAccuracy is 0% When AI skill is 1 or higher, aimingAccuracy is 100% This translates to 50% accuracy with a skill level of 0.5 (or slider near the middle). Anyway, I hope this info helps.

According to the biki, 11000 - 11999 is shadowbuffer LODs. 10000 = Shadow Volume ? 11000 = Shadow Buffer ? I hope this helps. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki....roperty

I'm currently running Arma, Oxygen2, and Visitor3 on Vista without any problems. When I installed the newest tools, the P:\ drive was not created for me either.. but a reboot fixed it. I hope it's that simple for you as well.

We are aware of this error message, however it does not effect game play, therefore, the fix will be in the V1.0 release. For now, you can just ignore that message.
