Yeah, thanks for the update Robalo.

Updated version frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

ASR AI Skills v1.14


Community Base Addons

Thanks Robalo - downloading now!

Great Stuff - see you had to jump through hoops to re-create the userconfig! That's going to cause a lot of pain elsewhere for others as well I imagine. Thanks for taking the time to fix and release this.

EDIT----->

Also, I like this;

setskills_debug = 1; // Log skill assignments to RPT 

Should make things easier when working out what skills any addon units get assigned - thanks for that as previously I had to run a script in an empty mission to do this.

Agree, the logging feature along with Jedras ESS will make things easier to find the sweet spot for AI!

After reading the readme I'm a bit confused tho so therefor a question. Readme say the following...

- AI spotting distance automatically reduced at night (and restored at day). Default is half distance at night, can be changed in userconfig

and the default setting in the new 1.14 asr_ai_settings.hpp is..

nightspotting = 0.2;           // Spotting range night reduction coeficient

Since BIS fixed the AI's night vision capabilities in a recent beta I would like to disable this feature but wonder if I should set it to 0.4 or 1 to do that (I assume it should be set to 1 if it's an multiplicator to the BIS default value) or can it be disabled by setting it to 0 as with the gunshot hearing range coefficient?

I changed the default to 0.2 (but forgot to update docu, sorry) to compensate for the relatively increased sensitivity compared to vanilla and after experiences from playing night missions. If you want to disable this, set it to 1. I don't have a "skip if 0" check for this one, so don't set it to 0 or you'll end up with 0 spotting skill

Anyone know if this is compatible with i44?

Anyone know if this is compatible with i44?

It seems to work fine. I added the I44 stuff to the userconfig for weapons, like so...

  // List of secondary weapons that any unit may take. Other launchers not in this list will only be picked by specialists
  launchers[] = {
   "M136","RPG18","cwr2_AT4","cwr2_LAW","cwr2_RPG75",
   "ACE_M136_CSRS","ACE_M72A2","ACE_M72","ACE_RPG22","ACE_RPG27","ACE_RPOM","ACE_RSHG1","ACE_RMG",
   "I44_Rocket_60mm_M6A1_M1A1Bazooka", "I44_Grenade_PIATMk3", "I44_Rocket_149mm_PzF_100", "I44_Rocket_88mm_RPzBGr4322_RPzB54"
  };
  // List of frag grenades that units will look for
  grenades[] = {
   "HandGrenade","HandGrenade_West","HandGrenade_East","BAF_L109A1_HE","ACE_DM51","ACE_DM51A1",
   "I44_HandGrenade_No82", "I44_HandGrenade_StiHgr24x7", "I44_HandGrenade_Mk2", "I44_HandGrenade_No36M", "I44_HandGrenade_StiHgr24",
   "I44_throwable_M37", "I44_throwable_GbLadung10kg", "I44_throwable_M2", "I44_throwable_GbLadung3kg"
  };
  // List of smoke grenades that units will look for
  smokes[] = {
   "SmokeShell","SmokeShellRed","SmokeShellGreen","SmokeShellYellow","SmokeShellPurple","SmokeShellBlue","SmokeShellOrange",
   "ACE_M34","ACE_RDG2","ACE_RDGM","ACE_DM25","ACE_DM31","ACE_DM32","ACE_DM33","ACE_DM34","ACE_DM36","ACE_M15",
   "I44_SmokeGrenade_ANM8", "I44_SmokeGrenade_NbHgr39", "I44_SmokeGrenade_M18Red", "I44_SmokeGrenade_M18Green", "I44_SmokeGrenade_M18Violet", "I44_SmokeGrenade_M18Yellow"
  }; 

I'm going to check the skill allocations later, but it will only not work if the I44 team used some strange class dependencies when setting up their units.

Just getting back into ARMA 2 / OA - Have been away for about 6 months - Really want to learn how to use this mod / addon - But I"m confused as to how to use it (tweak it for my units).

I understand how to install an addon Mod - but from there with this I'm confused - I mainly play SP - If I install this and create missions is it automatically running or do I need to place a file/s into my mission folder each and every time?

How do I know what are the skill settings for my (Blue) AI teammates? I mainly use Tier-1 units (where does their skill ratings fall under within ASR AI skill ratings? Is it under the class level_1 { // sf 1 ??

Thanks for any help on a walk through on how to get started....

Just install and run with it. Tweaking is there for advanced users, not something you need to do.
Tier 1 units inherit from Delta Force so they're top units by default (level 1).
