AI enhancement mod for Arma3. Download link: ASR AI3 v1.1.9 Mirrors: Armaholic, PWS, Steam Older versions can be found here: https://github.com/robalo/mods/releases This mod requires latest CBA. To install, extract userconfig from the archive into your main Arma 3 directory, extract @ASR_AI3 into your favorite mod folder location (usually same place, main Arma 3 directory). Issue tracker on GitHub It was primarily developed with dedicated server / coop gameplay in mind, although it works well for single player use. I have played both campaign episodes with zero issues having this mod enabled (in fact, I probably would not have played them at all otherwise). For best experience, install the mod on server and all clients connecting to it, headless or not. Feature Summary main - common functions and definitions, required by all other components cfgammo - config tweaks for increased projectile and explosion detection range - allow low level rockets to be used by infantry against aircraft and infantry cfgweapons - tweaks configs for weapon shooting by AI to make them appear more human-like - consistent dispersion coefficients - rate of fire based on engagement range - weapon and fire mode selection - variable, randomized bursts of automatic fire control - option to disable stamina for AI in player's group - option to become group leader after using teamswitch to control another playable unit - hot key for AI to follow player stance - hot key for AI to hold fire until player fires danger - adds various reactions on danger events - share target info with near groups on contact - use near vehicle and static weapons when available - move to cover - search or take cover inside buildings - lay down to shoot when there is no cover - machinegunners shoot more bullets at the enemy - units unable to find any cover near get suppressed faster (then throw smoke) greenrico - adds groups of SF units to Greek army faction hitreactions - adds some reactions and effects to units when they're hit - maximum suppression when hit - fall when hit - move to cover - use first aid kits when it's safe - killed or injured units get out of static weapons incognito - adaptation of Rydygier's incognito - makes units harder to identify as enemies based on few conditions - carrying and using a weapon - traveling inside a civilian or allied faction vehicle - movement stance and speed - time of day - line of sight rearming - units check if they have enough primary ammo and first aid kits - automatically rearm from near containers vehicles, bodies or backpacks of AI teammates when needed skills - tweaks cfgAISkill interpolation for aiming and spotting - unit camouflage (detectability) is based on actual gear (uniform, vest, ruck and launcher) - advanced skill settings (see more below) - wear NVG on head only when needed - reduced reporting spam (unknowns no longer called) - foot units less audible - more likely to crouch in combat - harder to be seen in the dark Advanced skill settings The units skills are automatically configured based on their unit type, faction and the settings that can be changed in the userconfig. The skills are randomized but given in between a minimum and a maximum value based on the skill level each unit is assigned in. This way you can have regular unit better then guerilla but spec ops or snipers a lot better then all so you're able to customize but also keep the diversity. You can configure for each unit class values for their aiming, spotting and general skills. You can also apply global coefficients per faction. The skills are applied after the start of the mission for present units or for any units that may spawn in later. F.A.Q. Q: Should I install this mod on servers, clients, both ? What about headless clients ? A: For this mod to work 100% as designed since v1.0.0 it has to be installed everywhere. Q: Where do I put all these files ? A: Add the @ASR_AI3 dir to your mod collection (directory of choice, can be main Arma 3 dir or another place you load mods from); The userconfig files should always be placed into <main Arma 3 dir>\userconfig\asr_ai3\; The bikey file is required only for hosting a MP game, goes into <main Arma 3 dir>\keys. Always make sure to do a clean install, removing any files from previous versions. Q: My settings in <arma3>\userconfig\asr_ai3\asr_ai3_config.sqf are ignored. A: Launch the game with file patching enabled (tick the option in the official launcher or add -filePatching to command line parameters). This is only required in single player or on servers (not required on clients connecting to a multiplayer game). Q: How does one manage dedicated server settings ? A: There are 2 types of settings: 1. Server side skill related settings - Modify settings in <arma3>\userconfig\asr_ai3\asr_ai3_config.sqf - The parameters that can be modified here are: asr_ai3_skills_sets, asr_ai3_skills_levels_units, asr_ai3_skills_factions 2. Other settings - Make sure latest CBA and ASR AI3 are active on the admin's client computer - Log in on the dedicated server as admin - Start a mission - Press Escape -> CONFIGURE -> GAME -> CONFIGURE ADDONS -> SERVER - When done, click on SAVE. This will allow saving an existing preset or creating a new one. - These settings will be saved in the server's profile namespace and they will be reused automatically after server restarts Q: Why are there 2 files in userconfig ? Do I need them ? A: In MP, the configuration is loaded on the server into a public variable and sent to all connecting clients so that server settings are always enforced. Some settings are only applicable on servers so they were split into a separate file (ends with _ss - server side) because it would be a waste of traffic to send those to clients that don't need them. All these files are required for servers and single player games. See change notes for 0.9.30. License I do not demand any express permission request but it would be nice to know when someone is enhancing it so I can maybe use that as well per licensing terms.

A3_3DEN is part of the game. Can't be missing if you installed Arma 3 correctly.

Wouldn't be too hard to make one just for that purpose: https://pastebin.com/2jda9txH

I can't. Why ? because there is no such global variable either. What you can play with: - radio report range; also remember there must be at least one radio in the group for it to send or receive target infos. - counter-attack range (if you enabled it, default is off). The increased ammo detect-ability is set in configs and you can't change that on the fly.

Sounds nice, but I don't have neither the time nor the motivation to code all that. The way I work on it is mainly making sure it stays up to date with the current content. Then, for features, is when I find something really annoying or want something really bad I try to work on that when I can.

Ugh, my guess is you've used a downloaded version (Github, Armaholic) before and now switched to Steam ? AFAIR the Steam addons had the spaced mod dirs for a while. I haven't done anything different with Publisher.

Heh, the random bug that made teamed units unresponsive to commands made me rage quit months ago and stop playing for a while :) With the 1.1.9 version of the mod, I haven't encountered it yet. Hope it's really gone and not just luck, only extended play testing will tell. Since I started playing SP more I added some features aimed at better controlling the team AI, but it's certainly not meant to replace advanced AI control mods like C2. I like to keep my mod setup slim (and those efpeeesses high :) and found C2 too advanced for my needs so I don't use it, hence I can't comment if there are any conflicts. All my AI control features are optional or triggered only on configurable keybinds so I don't expect there would be issues. The focus here is on enhancing the opposing AI in SP and coop games, not so much on commanding friendlies, so very different mods. Special configs are a lot of work so I can't do them for every mod out there. They provide the full ASR AI experience for those mods they are made for by adjusting the config values. But it does not mean that other mods without special configs will have any troubles. Just not as well tuned.

The RHS configs were updated for 0.4.8. Also split into one pbo for each mod.

Time for another update: v1.1.9 Have you even noticed after teamswitch the unit left in place often wonders off to some cover spot, not responding to any commands ? With added fun when you were in a high tower before switching to another unit ? The new version has a fix for that (need more testing to confirm it's 100% gone). Some other changes: - ammo detection tweaks - vehicle dispersion adjustments - copy my stance works only for nearby teammates - stay up when player in vehicle on copy my stance, faster mounting - add some nasty temporary weapon sway to falling units - bunch of code performance improvements, making sure some loops exit when they should - improve the unfreeze unit command (the one that has a shortcut key in control settings) - tweak the aiming and spotting skill interpolation curves Have fun !

Hopefully you're considering using JAM classes while you're at it ;) Tedious AF: https://pastebin.com/HSeQZfNS <-- feel free to grab any useful bits or the whole thing

Nothing to fix, does not happen with CBA only. So you have another mod that's breaking vanilla class inheritance.

1.1.5

Is cfgmagazinewells officially supported ? There's info in the biki but I did not catch anything about it in the changelogs. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Weapon_Config_Guidelines

I just fixed the Steam workshop visibility. @tuskohopkins I wouldn't need such standalone mod so I won't do one. But you are free to rip the code out of this if you want.

1.1.8 update is ready. It brings a major bugfix to hitreactions module plus some minor tweaks and code optimization. [cfgammo][config] - (mod) detection tweaks, increased distances [cfgweapons][config] - (mod) decrease AI dispersion coefficients for vehicle weapons [hitreactions][script] - (fix) units fall and get suppressed again when hit Enjoy !

There's a link to older releases in the first post.

Could've read the post just before yours... Also nothing stops you from using a slightly older compat config, if you really must not use all RHS mods. Perhaps they need FAKs ? Should stop eventually, only going once in each place in 5 minutes. They do not know in advance if a container has what they need, they must go check it. Generally all players should be running the same mods on a server. Who knows what happens if they don't ? They could grow a third arm, shoot bullets from their behind.. up to you if you want to allow that :) Don't know why they're not saved, but check if you have settings saved in a server-side sqf file as per CBA Settings documentation. If you do they will override anything you set in game IIRC.

It's more work to maintain them separately but I'll consider it next time there's a RHS update. Maybe CBA isn't loaded on the server. Also this isn't a server-side mod, read instructions in first post, everyone should run it not just server.

Interesting, but I didn't touch arty dispersion config. Does using a higher skilled gunner have any effect ? Might be the combined effect of the increased aidispersioncoef with low skilled unit firing the weapon. But I'll look into it.

Can't see anything wrong in that picture, it just looks like debugging is enabled in settings. User/Admin error :)

Not directly but it can create that impression as the AI may patrol near buildings or use building positions for cover.

Sorry for lack of replies, haven't been much around this lately as the interest in the game is slowly fading. Most questions already have answers in this long thread, so please use the search thing. @Keycat First you have to understand what this mod changes, best place is to look directly at the source: https://github.com/robalo/mods/tree/master/asr_ai3/addons Then you have to know what exactly do you need to adjust for the mod you want to bridge. Best of luck :) Also, I'm pushing a new version. Changelog copied below. 1.1.7 This version integrates Pooter's enhanced ASR AI as optional features among other things. [settings] - (mod) in-game settings organized with subcategories [main][script] - (mod) automatically exclude civilian factions (contributed by 654wak654, thanks!) [cfgammo][config] - (mod) detection tweaks, tracers more visible to AI than non-tracers - (mod) use HE ammo for Vorona and MRAWS against infantry and vehicles [cfgweapons][config] - (mod) update class relationship to match with 1.82 - (mod) use variable full auto burst lengths for SMGs [control][config] - (mod) adjust gear actions to show before the take actions (which can clutter commanding menus a lot) [control][script] - (mod) copy my stance can be used for selected units (defaults to all when none selected) - (mod) remove stamina handling completely - (add) shortcut keys to toggle AI flashlights and lasers - works under certain conditions (MRT compatible) - (add) shortcut key to attempt to unfreeze AI units in team [danger][script] - (add) advanced cover and counter-attack from Raptoer/Pooter's fork (thanks!) - (mod) removed unneeded setvariable flags [hitreactions][script] - (mod) optionally keep AI inside immobile vehicles with working weapons (by Raptoer, thanks again!) [skills][config] - (mod) support tanks DLC for dynamic camouflage - (mod) minor spotting skill decrease [skills][script] - (mod) performance optimisation for dynamic camo (contributed by Dedmen, thanks!) Have fun !

In-game setting ? Maybe, don't know when though. Most scripted features are already disabled for player group anyway. There is no group joining in this mod. Used to be in older versions but it has been removed long ago. I don't play zombie scenarios so no plans for that. Rearming kicks in after 5 minutes in game in latest version.

Pushed some code fixes for the magswitch errors, hopefully they pass QA and we get another hotfix soon :D

This. It has been reported in the past that removing it fixed the nade spam issue. The weapon config changes in that pbo conflict with this mod big time. Also I'm not running ACE (wish I could but performance hit is way too extreme for me) and I can't repro the issue. Yeah, when I push to Steam with publisher it changes the mod folder name. It's too much of a headache to maintain 4 extra configs instead of one... in addition to the others. You're missing out on quality stuff in GREF and SAF, my advice is to use them. Otherwise, you can split the extra RHS configs into separate mods and publish them yourself. I'm OK with that, just use your own tag in the mod name and make it clear I'm not it's maintainer in that form. 1. Look for Rydygier's mod called "Fire For Effect: The God Of War" 2. Yes
