Warfare V1 ADV AI 32 Players

[MSpencer]

RELEASE CANDIDATE 1
WARFARE V1 ADV AI 32 PLAYERS
**********************************
New features include:
*Advanced tactical AI
**RACS AI will stalk and kill you inside of a town, trying to eliminate the invaders and restore peace to their country. This results in a far more challenging experience in taking a town, as RACS won't stand around on a hill until fifty minutes after you've captured the town to come back in and try to take the flag.

*New AI pointsharing script
**Each point gained by your AI for killing enemy soldiers and vehicles is added to your score on the leaderboard. This results in a higher emphasis on teamplay and using your AI to increase the combat effectiveness of your squad. This will also reduce the number of "lone wolves" on your servers, and may help to increase teamwork between unaffiliated individuals.

*Improved Unit Cleanup
**Floating bodies getting you down? Warfare V1 ADV AI includes a sophisticated cleanup script for the removal of crew bodies and destroyed vehicles. This should greatly reduce the amount of lag experienced on servers by removing vehicles which really have nothing to do with combat operations anymore using serverside scripts.

I highly recommend this mission as a new standard for Warfare. As a CTI player since it came out, and as an ArmA player since about two months after it came out, I can say that this mission delivers an experience which is sorely lacking in contemporary versions of Warfare. The mission is based off of Warfare 1.1, and should be compatible with all servers and mods. Give 'er a shot!

[Axek]

Thanks MSpencer,

 The server I've been playing on has been looking for more of a challenge like this.

Do you have a download link?

No need for a sound file to create 'combat ambience'

During gameplay ai use all manner of weapon against you, even firing m136's at infantry and lobbing grenades.  Dont be surprised if you get flanked or find the enemy in the depot with you.

Very interesting, I see some Warfare awesomeness in a near future http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

What does this mean?

[Pauld]

this looks interesting, ive always found the rac's to be a big push over so this should be alot challenging, and some good decisons in the changelog too.

soon as you get it uploaded ill upload it too kellys server

[arma.isgreat.org]

I have posted the download link in my signature block.

AI bridging prevents congestion from ai in the dolores region by moving ai across the bridge automatically.

[colligpip]

had a quick go on this those AI really are dangerous now - can i try porting mando missiles into this as well if you dont do it

[arma.isgreat.org]

Quote[/b] ]can i try porting mando missiles into this as well if you dont do it

Sure, the current vers is 1.3, please build using that and post on here with a changelog, vers 1.31 if you don't mind.

If you don't already have a place to host it I recommend rapidshare.

Let me know if your having problems.

I am just making versions for saralite as coding takes so long.  If anyone wants to port this to different islands, that would be great.   There are two proprietary map triggers that must accompany this mission.

Note the two bottom triggers in this pic must be copied to new maps.

This is one of the ai friendly bridge scripts as they appear on the map. They can be moved or copied (with editing to the triggers and to the marker names)

Why....people why can we not stick to using a standard naming system for Warfare Missions.
It makes things ALOT easier being able to see which version of Warfare your custom version is based off.
Please guys, it is not hard to do.

From the wiki:

Quote[/b] ]Naming will also be important when trying to keep an overview of all community made modifications out there, so here's a short description of what to rename and where.

* Folder name - Since this also determines the eventual name of the PBO you might want to release, setting up a clear name for your mission folder is quite important.
o Suggested format: Warfare<player count><Warfare build>_<modification name><modification build>
o Naming example: Warfare32V11_RabbitWarfareV2.2
* Mission name - The name under which the mission is listed in the server browser and mission list is defined in the Intel section of the mission.sqm file. You can modify this by clicking on the Intel field in the top right corner of the mission editor, or by locating the entry in the mission file using a text editor. It is recommended that the naming standard follows a similar format to the PBO name.
o Suggested format: Warfare<player count> <Warfare build> - <modification name> <modification build>
o Naming example: Warfare32 v1.1 - Rabbit Warfare v2.2

*Improved Unit Cleanup
**Floating bodies getting you down? Warfare V1 ADV AI includes a sophisticated cleanup script for the removal of crew bodies and destroyed vehicles. This should greatly reduce the amount of lag experienced on servers by removing vehicles which really have nothing to do with combat operations anymore using serverside scripts.
Not sure this is a good thing, sure the body cleanup would be great, but the vehicle cleanup isn&#39;t as we get points from salvaging these.

[arma.isgreat.org]

I just improved body cleanup, no real change to vehicle cleanup. AI salvagers and supply trucks were disabled.   Otherwise standard v1.1 settings. Supply limit in towns is up to 1000.

Like the map a lot, but first game i went to capture pesto but wont let me take it. made sure all area clear but still no. was able to capture the near by camp with no problem, any ideas?

Also just noticed that the ai teams are all stood around the pesto base but still not on the captured towns list?

[arma.isgreat.org]

Your right, Pesto is problematic, not sure why it did that.  I am deleting pesto in 1.31.

ok but it seems a shame as it is nice to have the smaller towns as well http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/sad_o.gif

True, but there are already many more than in the original

That will be great, looking forward to it. must admit thought my pc is starting to struggle with the load (lag). Are any of your plans to include 16 player version?. Was going to have a go myself at reworking warfare but looking at the scripting its beyond me lol. Thanks for your efforts  http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/notworthy.gif

btw just played on the full island version, its good but was a little disappointed because the extra towns were not there. i think the northern area does need more. anyway great map thanks...

[CrazyAce]

Quick question, does the AI use the buildings in the city like in SLX?

[Axek]

We played a game last night and found a few things. (The South version)

* Corinto seems to be bugged, it would never switch, though it&#39;s camp would.
* There was no capping progress bar when capping any town flag/base. Though it would show for any camp you were capping.
* Fast Travel didn&#39;t work for any of the new towns.
* The Bridge would make our own vehicles get stuck halfway across. Though this may have been a mod causing conflicts. We never saw any AI units being transferred across the bridge, as it was blown up pretty quickly.

Either way, thanks for the modifications.

Axek.

[CrazyAce]

I can truly say that I don&#39;t like not having the supply trucks, the salvage trucks I can do without, but them supply trucks are vital for LAN (SP). It takes forever to build up a respectable base, especially when positioned to the far northern part of north Sarhani.

Also if we changed commanders, the Ai we had would not take downs, or any orders from the commander.

I hope some of the bugs are fixed, because the 1-8th squad like what you are trying to do with the mission.

[arma.isgreat.org]

I am working on version 1.4, I have rewritten the supply truck script and am working out problems with that.  It is now an sqf function which reduces lag significantly.  (Lag is much less than in Stock Warfare 1.1)

[BigShot]

heres a little buglet i found while playin on an LAN:

After returning to base and clicking to get into the TEAM tab, there was some scripting error (zero divisor) and none of the factories were accessible (even though built and used earlier in mission) to purchase anything. The Gear tab itself was unavailable as well at this point (you couldnt even click on it). It was the same effect as if you were standing by a captured depot away from your base (plus the divisor error)...sort of like the system somehow got stuck in depot "mode" or something.

I dont recall the last depot which was captured before this ocurred.

This same bug happened to me yesterday. Anyway, keep up the good work, this is currently my favorite version of warfare despite the few bugs.

Also, the AirViewDistance option does not work. So I just increase the normal view distance option and it works for both when I am in an aircraft and when I am not.

Any word on how the mission is coming? This is becoming my favorite version of Warfare http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

[Sneaker-78-]

how can i join an other squad, i pres join and the request was send , but the other person of the other squad see nothing of my request.

[Victor]

I think I fixed this but kept the original question in this post:

Quote[/b] ]Going inside a chopper with mando hitch capabilities produces this error:

http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/4080/whateverrrrdp2.jpg

Does anyone know what causes this error? As I have edited this mission and would like to solve it as soon as possible - even before Chris&#39;s next release if possible - as this is hindering my ability to call my edit a &#39;complete&#39; 1.0 version.

Apparently the code from the Description.ext:
Quote[/b] ]{
titles[] = {WF_Splash,CampCaptureProgress,TownCaptureProgress,EndOfGameStats,UseObject,mando_hitch_hud};

#include "mando_hitch&#92;mando_hitch_titles.h"The bold words were taken out of the original script and/or forgotten about. Without this line the previous error (image above) occurs when entering a cargo chopper.


On another note: Has anyone noticed a gradual increase in supply from a specific town? The scripts specify the lowest supply level and the highest supply level. For example a large town starts with a supply of 30 and eventually gets up to 120. However I fail to notice this increase in this mission but the script that shows the lowest and highest income at 30 and 120..

[LockJaw-65-]

Hi on this version are you supposed to be able to join the same squad using the support menu. I have tried to do this using the squad admin and then join squad but nothing happens. Can anybody help with this thanks

same problem here, but still no asnwer get

[BigShot]

I would like to add a routine included in this version into my own modded version of warfare but have no idea how to do it.

Can anyone tell me how to add that routine from this mission which spawns friendly troops after you capture a town and they stay and defend it? My version doesnt have this yet and I wish it did, so id like to add it in if thats possible because im tired of the battlefield2-ish style of running back to towns i already captured:-)

...any help would be much appreciated&#33;

[S1AY3R]

Hi there guys

Is it possible to make a warfare mission that only has about 4-5 towns close together? I can only play singleplayer and would realy like to engage my AI opponent early in the game cuz i cant save?

Please can somebody tell me how to do this?

Would be very much appreciated

Thanks

[Deus]

I posted this inside the wrong thread earlier.

Instead of A.I. buying, or in addition to A.I. buying troops / vehicles, allow the commander to buy the assets and assign squads and plot what he wants them to do. For instance, buy three manned vulcans and place them to "Defend Town / base".

Would love the ability to use Zonekiller&#39;s / Mando&#39;s Support scripts, but instead of having a Blackhawk bring reinforcements by default use of the script you have to purchase the blackhawk first and assign purchased troops / squads to the blackhawks to bring reinforcements. Then when you need them in a sticky situation or need reinforcements quick, you have assigned a set squad / number of Copters / Troops to serve that purpose. Same with CAS Copters and Jets. Purchase to set aside and use instead of just "Having" them because the script says so.

Just like with Doolittle, love your work and hope you return.

[Yuka]

I just saw this thread. I&#39;ll evaluate the mission tonite and report back any bugs/problems that I see when I have a few minutes (and remember to do so)&#33;

[{USI}_Zombie]

since the ai supply and salvage trucks are disabled, does this mean supplies are automatically generated, or do players have to do their own supply trains to and from the main?  I wouldn&#39;t mind having to command a supply corps and engineering corps, (for salvage operations).  I personally think if these things are scripted and just happen instead of actually having to be done, it takes away from the mission instead of adding to it.

[arma.isgreat.org]

I had a weekend off and did some work using my mission.

I made a version combining rbti 00085, WACO and my Warfare advanced

Features include rbti functionality, waco ai and my ai score sharing - you get points form ai. Dolores bridge fixes, and indavidual loadouts per unit class to name a few. Known bug, scaler bool issue on template prices for east, does not effect functionality. Many other existing errors have been removed including &#39;missing content:warfare and other bugs. Better unit deletion system and improved supply trucks
Also ural/uaz/riflemen from town depots

Anyway this blend should be huge. I start playing ARMA again 3 weeks ago only after read someones post about Warfare.


BTW is there difference in AI logic between telling AI to capture towns and move to destination? (despite capture towns picks up closest Hostile loc)? Sometimes I want to setup massive assault to capture specific city.

Also is there ANY chance to save game status ? Like to play in standalone mode but it takes good 5-6 hours even with WACO to finish.

Other than you could send everyone to the same place.
Where as &#39;capture towns&#39; could split them up to attack seperate towns&#33;

There are new units for east and west in upgrades. The ai works better and the game has been adjusted for quicker gameplay. All other features are present though this is a reworked version since the last. Note AA heli&#39;s.
