TPWC AI suppression system

[Kawa]

Nah.. better try this early Christmas present : tpwcas4.1.zip

To be officially released within the next days..

(besides previously mentioned fixes I decided to change embedded tpwlos to only trigger when 'knowsabout' value is less then userconfig parameter value (by default 2.9) - and included server keys)

Thank you SantOllem!

Happy Holidays!

Hi,

Firstly, thank you for the great mod!
Secondly, I've got a question about the following parameter of LOS:

// 14 MINIMUM LOS DISTANCE (M). ENEMIES ARE CONSIDERED "VISIBLE" NO MATTER WHAT, IF LESS THAN THIS DISTANCE.
tpwcas_los_mindist = 20;

Does this mean that enemies will be visible in the dark without NV on / on a foggy night / in severe snowstorm / through walls??? / in general in conditions of extremely limited visibility if closer than 20m? The wording ""VISIBLE" NO MATTER WHAT" is a bit confusing.

Good question: The "NO MATTER WHAT" quote is not really applicable.
Within the (by default) 20m a unit is considered visible if there is Line of Sight only: so enemy AI needs to look in the direction of the unit, and view should not be blocked by terrain, walls, etc.
Exception are unit's with good camo like snipers/spotters: the will not automatically be seen withing this range, and especially at night, while being prone and not moving, the range should be less.
