  1. I just dont get it - how to install this detection script and get it to work for example in Roadblock Duty.

    I'm having problems with the first step:

    How to set it up:

    1) Copy the following folder into your mission folder:

    > scripts\IEDdetect

    ---

    Does the mission folder mean MPMissions?

    Where should I copy the other files - other than under folder IEDdetect?

    I know that it's not that hard but if someone could just take me hand and walk me through the installation steps? :) Thank you.

    I"m a little confused on this Script to - Could anyone be cool enough to throw together a sample mission for the mission editor...so I could see how it plays out and what goes where.

    Maybe just a simple BLUFOR EOD Unit and 1 sucicde bomber? or IED.


  2. Can anyone post just a simple (non-PBOed) mission using this script - Say with just a single squad / unit looking for IEDs -

    Just an editor mission so I can see how it is layed out -

    I now understand to use "notepad" to open a SQF.... but I still don't catch the meaning of "#include lines to your description.ext" - Do I have to insert something here? within the description.ext that is within my mission folder?

    Thanks


  3. I continue to find the AI quite poor at spotting (but even more so firing accuracy) at targets which have elevation differences. Be it in Mtns or just within rooftops of builldings.

    Do others have this experince. I will have a gun unload several clips and not hit a target. I will circle back to him, look at where he is firing (usually someone whos elevation is above us) and I can take them out with 1 or 2 shots.

    I also notice (especially in the Fallujah map) that friendly / teammate AI is not so great at seeing / spotting enemy AI on rooftops (which I can live with, as they are good ambush spots). But it is the lack of return fire on said rooftops that gets somewhat frustrating.


  4. I have ARMA2 & Combined Ops - I am patched to 1.52/or 1.54 (at work at the moment). Would like to finally get pacthed all the way up to the latest which I believe is 1.57.

    My question, Do I need to apply 2 patches. ONe for A2 and another for CO. Or if I install the latest CO 1.57 patch...will that automatcially install / update A2 to 1.08?

    Thanks


  5. The more I play ARMA2/CO - The more Unimpressed I am with the AI -

    Enemy, CIV and even more so, AI-Teammates - I just recently had my four man team killed by a single enemy AI, who walked right up to us (in between us) while I was giving buddy-aid...and shoot all of us...without any of my members firing back on him....???

    Even more odd, once the enemy shot 3 of us (not me) he ran off about 50 yards and turned around and looked at me (without shooting) until I shot him...


  6. For someone who is not good at "scripting"....What would be the best way to go about setting up a trigger that would be set off.....If an enemy patrol spots fellow enemy KIA (along their patrol route).

    I know how to place triggers and how to place triggers regarding an HVT (being alive or dead). But I was just wondering, it would be nice if whenever enemy AI, spotted a fellow AI KIA....it would launch a trigger for sending reinforements to that particular location.


  7. The Shacktac Movement addon helps alot (for your one guy). It is a must have -

    With that said, your AI teammates are still useless inside - If BIS/ARMA 3 could ever find the way to keep what they do (outside enviroments) with more of an RVS inside /CCQ .....that would be amazing.

    On a side note, friendly AI is somewhat awful overall - Well, awful is to strong a word.....but friendly AI needs improvements. In SA and effectiveness overall.


  8. Once again after a recent mission - Friendly AI has to be able to STAY GROUPED TOGETHER AT MUCH CLOSER SPACING - It kills you in MOUNT Ops where your friendly AI end up all over the place.... (even when given Column TIGHT formations or Delta).


  9. Zeus worked nicely with upsmon, but the heavy cpu use in large battles is there.

    Make sure to use a cache system and even your big maps should work ok.

    else upsmon works quite nicely on its own.

    here is cache units script, very easy and nice.

    How does this script work exactly? Is it mainly for enemy AI (and you just put that script within the Team leader's INT: file?).


  10. We're actually with 1.56 version. There are any reason to still keep the 1.52 onboard?

    Can you make a full copy of your A2 folder as backup (if you need to keep it at this release for some reasons) and try to install the 1.56 version to check if the problem is still there?

    Don't have the time (curretnly) to install the new 1.56/57. But will after the Holidays - I think it likely has to do with me only being patched to 1.52 with A2/CO.

    Things were running so well on my system with 1.52 I didn't see the need for 1.54 - And then with patch 1.56 it seems like it causes more issues with half than what it improves the other half of people.

    I'm sure the thermals must have something to do with me being patched to only 1.52.

    Though, this is the only map I've had such an experiene with - Just DL the new Tora Bora map and Thermals run fine...

    Can't say enough about this map though! It is just fantastic! NVGs Ops work just fine - My favorite map to date without a doubt -


  11. Friendly AI needs to be able to follow (more closely) without falling behind - No matter, if you have them in Diamond or Line (COMPACT). The back 2 guys fall way off - They do not allow you to operate as a small cohesive unit - You are forced to constatly have to stop and redirect them to keep yourself as a tight unit -

    This is awful and especially during MOUNT Ops -

    Also, elevations (differing elevations). Meaning if friendly AI is on level ground and enemy AI solider is on higher (or lower ground) accuracy levels are awful! Ridiculously awful. I've seen friendly AI fire through multiple clips and then I double back to see who they are firing on and take them out with one shot. This needs to be addressed and fixed.


  12. I'm using the following (Older) version of Zeus - And the AI seems to work wonderfully, flanking, looking for cover, etc..... Never (or hardly ever, ever) do they throw smoke. This version seems very good and I've always kept with it (without seeing the need to update).

    ArmA II Zeus AI Combat Skills & AI Spotting modular release

    Config parameters, tested & built with beta version: 1.05.69782
