I just recently started playing OFP again since the disappointment of ArmA and was looking for a kick ass mod. I don't want a futuristic si-fi nor WW2 type of mods. Anyone...?

I'd like to see gadgets like my topic says: http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=64890 But worked out well, not crappy coding and stuff so the thing sucks!

I was talking about "MICRO" drone... not huge uavs! I mean to fly with it on groundlevel height through urban terrain. GIJOE94, no it doesn't. STOP CLOAKING up the thread!

I'd like to see some customized gadgets in the game to make things easier like "microdrone" and "microflies" for a starter. You know these little drones the size of your hand with which you can fly around to spot the area instead of getting shot in the ass. And "tag" vehicles with them, as so to speak, so you won't lose track of them too easily as happens quite often. What are your thoughts? PS I don't mean to shift over to the futuristic theme too much like unreal tournament or something! Keeping it realistic but with 21st century digital gadgets.

GIJOE94, NOT TOYS... I mean real gadgets! Matt Rochelle, yes as I said they are WAY WAY smaller! You honestly don't know anything about the Aurora? The information is out there mate, plenty.

No, those are huge compared to what I ment. I can't help that your knowledge on the matter is extermely limited but they do exist!

Here's another problem BIS should do something about: The "AI cheat mode". We as player visualize by cognition most of the time, other times we detect enemies by bullet tracers, weapon sounds from certain directions, smoke, explosions, let's leave the more advanged tech gadgets out since there aren't much in the game. The AI gets its info from "us" uploading our player (position) to the game /server\ upon which the game tells the AI exactly where we are without any (in most cases) actual "battlefield" info, if you know what I mean. There is barely any restriction for the AI where this is concerned. The AI doesn't actually know where we are obviously since its a virtual simulation pretty much and they aren't "that" advanged! They can see through trees at 300m, not only that but kill with the first 10 round WITH AN AK with NO scope on it... they can see through smoke and much more. Can you see "them" clearly with your M4 AND shoot them over, let's say, 150m +- ? Shooting them at 100m means you are doing very well! Let's be honest guys. Sure you got a lucky shot off from farther once or twice, but that isn't the point. Another thing, can you hit them when THEY run? They hit you with great ease when you try to run! How many times have you had AI run in the field, looking at a COMPLETE other direction from where you are, STOP and shoot you for no reason (without you giving them any indication as to where you are)! This is NOT intelligent AI, this is pure cheating. We should get the same info as they do or a motion sensor (like in Far Cry) if this isn't changed, at least we need countermeasures! I know its just single player but it does put a huge dark cloud over it!

AHHH , I'm actually starting to like you. :P I'm happy you got my point though. We should play a mission together and I'll show you. You did brought up another point, their decision making is diffirent AND they use diffirent tactics, although I like the Far Cry more I understand the ArmA can do more because there is more stuff in the game, like planes, tanks etc etc. YOu should be happy it has no conscious, imaging that . Than we would be in serious trouble... lol NO no, its not I don't believe you, its just that I know how AI works and can prove it to you. You are however not willing to see it, which is fine if you choose to - freedom of choice. By-the-way, I thought of another reason why some of you don't get shot so easily; because of your silent weapon choices. The AI responds diffirently to them I noticed. Which they should but you get the point.

For example yes but that isn't realistic or the kind of knowsabout the AI SHOULD have. If I were to shoot at you, you wouldn't know right away where my EXACT location is, drop down and kill me with your first 5 rounds, would you? Of course usually you would shoot to kill, but put that fact aside. Yes but the AI can see and shoot you nonetheless, try in a forest area where there is enough cover for you, they will still shoot you without you even seeing them or knowing where THEY are. That is what I mean, to them it is a matrix not a virtual simulation. What you say just doesn't work with this AI of ArmA. Other games yes, like Far Cry or such... They know the exact spot where you are, there is not much you can do against that. Counter measures like cover and changing position don't really help because by than you'd be dead. Exactly but for now that isn't the case which most people find normal here!

Yes, but those objects aren't filtered well, to them its like there is barely any object (objects blocking yours and their view don't matter to them but they do to YOU). To them it is a matrix, for us its a virtual reality. - We could go into the depth of both of them if you like but I think that would get too complex for you! - And their awareness jumps from 0 to the "magic" number on the first smallest clue. For example, if I were to shoot you (not kill you) you wouldn't know my EXACT position, you'd know approximately where I were if you were paying well attention and had a high awareness. You sure as hell won't drop to floor and shoot me with your first 5 rounds wihtin 10secs... Anyhow if you're shot your down on the floor in need of a medic, you won't do much at all (relay info to your commander perhaps). Unless you have super endurances of course . I hope you understand what I mean here and not skip it and focus on something that has nothing to do with this example. Thx for making me an artist . Those are vehicles, obviously they would respond diffirent with vehicles than with enemy soldiers. DUH Not exactly, but whatever - call it what you like. Thank you. "If I design a mission it would look stupid..." that is a good one! Did I ever say I "designed" a mission or are you making stuff up now? Yep you were! And what difficulty did you play it? Easy+ right?

In that link it said that their awareness raises from 0 to the "magic" number on the first clue no matter how small, that is not good nor realistic. You had a good example though, but it would get that info uploaded from the game, not the AI hearing himself. Damn, you still don't get what I'm trying to explain?! Than you have put it below medium, the difficulty. I didn't plan their waypoints. And ofpforum you dodged the Far Cry question...

Yea right... ROFL... put people in jail in on online game. Police State goes online... Why not run an presidential election too. What you want will just turn into political crap propaganda. This idea will turn out to be bad!

No I mean that they run to places which don't make any sense, there is no tactical advantage or such where they run to, so why should they run there? This indeed would be a partial observation. Yes but other people said it was their sight so I had to reply to that too and I was referring to other posts which you just red. AI doesn't see, hear, feel or senses anything. That would be far far too complex to design for just game makers as I'm sure you would understand. Yes I observe too, but I do know how AI works regardless of an observation. I'm not just stating facts of what I observe... I 60% talk about how AI works regardless of the game, if you know what I mean. Do you honestly don't get the point I'm making or are you just taking the piss at me? Unless you refer to something other than me and skip my point. What I said about the AI getting it's info is not by what I observed, obviously. Exactly. But regardless of what is said, won't you agree there is something wrong with the AI in ArmA? Compare the AI to Far Cry for example and hopefully you'll notice. Just a simple example. I know its a diffirent game and all blah blah!

After you engage them, not before. You missed the whole point! No, its not. read the link of wishper and you might understand if you have any intelligence. No its not, that is BS. You just don't know how AI works. I did test it and after a while they start to run to points way off, but they always use the exact same route. You just don't know AI . Read a few posts on page 2 and you find it. As many have giving examples as I did, we can tell when AI looks at us. They simply were looking at a complete other direction, turned and fired a kill round. The point is that they DIDN"T see us! EDIT: LOL . I centainly will.

NO WAY dude, they hit chest shots at 200m easily! No, that is AI. No, that is not how it works! Yep, that is our problem too. Why not, simply code tactics into their already "godlike" skills. There isn't much to the AI, they simply know where you are and aimbot shoot you. Not exactly what I call "AI", they have no intelligence whatsoever! And they walk purely by waypoints set for them, they never randomly go somewhere in order to countermeasure your assault for example. Zombie like they are with aimbot...

Yep, that is correct. Yea dude, that is exactly what I mean. Computer AI's don't have human perception or any perception actually. Yea there is another point, this is far from a realistic simulator which is disappointing... What I mean is that the AI knows exactly where you are without ANY indication, because you upload your player info to the server, including information like your positions, direction of view, health, weapons, etc etc... now, the games tells the AI where you are in the field, THAT is cheating. This is how AI works, the game knows where you are and relays it to the AI. Its like you have a radar which shows you EVERYTHING, including enemy tanks, planes, soldiers, soldiers behind walls, etc etc while you are 500m away from that actual position, you catch my drift?! They use aimbot aimed at the chest (the AI), they always hit and kill with the first 10 bullets at ranges well beyond being able to due to many factores. Anyway, here is an easy way to solve this problem. Invent a "perception" for them, just like "Commanders" has this thing where you can see what the german AI "sees", when they are alerted that increases but put that aside. Simple make sure wherever their eyes are aimed at, that is what they "see". Out of the all the evidence shown, they got 360c view. I'm sure you get my point without me writing pages about it.

Is there a way to adjust the scope's elevation, windage and focus? And is there a laser range finder available?

No, I was alone but I get your point. Sam Fisher gadgets don't exist in the game. They can't hack your communications. I think he means the enemy MG, perhaps I'm wrong though. Well, than you'd be a pretty darned good shooter than . But can you do the same THROUGH trees at 300m? No, I mean where you can't see them and they can't see you because of all the objects in the way, trees, grass, smoke, etc etc. I get what your saying but you missed the original point. There is an easy way to solve all this, simply filter trees, grass, smoke etc etc IN instead of out. Obviously if a tree is blocking your view you can't see what's on the otherside. I'm sure you all understand what I mean.

I too checked it. I was laying in the field and this soldier ran for like 10min, he passed me so I looked at him without him being able to see me (and obviously me not shooting at him), he stopped, and shot me. I was hidden very well. But he was 200m away. AI can't "see" anything. They fire by aimbot (at the chest), how is it that they kill you on their first 10 rounds most of the time when you empty whole magazines at them? Assault weapon yes... They aren't agent Smiths. And when you engage silently into an forestlike area with trees blocking BOTH views, they still manage to shoot you while there is NO way for them to have noticed you or actually have you in "line of sight" as you put it! You know, when you walk around the map and engage them from behind. It is cheating. I'm not saying they should dumb the AI down to zero like most games today but, c'mon... You just don't stand any chance whatsoever. Edit: Here's another thing. They don't even BLINK when you try to irritate them with that damned bird after you die, no response whatsoever at ALL! They just stand around there like zombies untill a player shows up, than they all wake up! The bird is just filtered by the AI out because it can't do any harm. You and I would be irritated and respond when that bird flies around us blocking OUR view, correct?

Are you serious?!

It is very possible!

Don't blame me, you want me to lie to you? I'm not the one putting out wrong information over and over again! You miss the point as always! Like I said with 4 buttons so far not in use. The windage problem is EASY to solve, a simple script would do! ROFL OMG, good one good one! Certainly more things need fixing, but this is by FAR the simplest. You know what, I got a new idea: Why not input “smart bullets†as new ammu for the sniper, that would be sweet now wouldn't it?! And simple to input! And please think before someone babbles about it being impossible, because there are guided missiles too!

WTF? But finding a way for you to change it, ANY way of your choice is too difficult. You can't find a simple way? Find any way of your own choice since you are so good at it and all, can you do that?! I was actually talking about the temperature, humidity etc etc... but whatever! TRY OUT THE SNIPER BEFORE YOU POST BS. Have either of you actually TRIED the sniper yet? So far you haven't come up with any ideas worth anything so don't tell me to “bring it to the tableâ€! And most of the stuff you write is OFF base.
