Group Link 4 Special FX Edition

Dear community,

i'm glad to finally release the Group Link 4 Special FX Edition.
Group Link 4 is a A.I. and Special FX enhancement project with many new and already know'n features.
The A.I. Enhancement of Group Link 4 is available after creating the "Group Link 4: System" module and synchronizing a enemy A.I. group with the "Group Link 4: System" module once.
All Special FX features of Group Link 4 require AddOns which most of them are needed to be present on the player ( Client ) side only in multiplayer.
The Special FX of Group Link 4 are available after creating the "Group Link 4: Special FX" module.

Group Link 4 use a Dynamical Module System ( D.M.S. ) which means you can enable/disable/change/setup some core features of Group Link 4 by creating and/or synchronizing the given module(s) with specific groups/units.

Group Link 4 fully supports J.I.P ( Join In Progress )
The "Group Link 4: System" and "Group link 4: Random" modules will be synchronized with each J.I.P player after he had connected to the server.

Group Link 4 is coded to safe as much resources as possible in single and multiplayer.
The technically orientation is based on Operation Flashpoint Mod E.C.P. ( Enhanced Configuration Project ) which had lead a totally new way of scripting.

All features of Group Link 4 can be enabled/disabled by changing the given values in the "GL4_Global.sqf" and "GL4_Local.sqf" scripts.

Some features which are already included in this version but still in W.I.P. stage are not documented so far.
So you may will be suprised in some situations and/or at some locations.
Also you may need to play around with some values of Group Link 4 to fit some features like the Captive/Surrender to your needs.

Most features was already successfully tested in single and multiplayer but of course there may will be some problems ( locallity ) in some parts of Group Link 4.
You can help me sloving thouse bug's by posting errors and/or any other kinds of problems in this thread.
I will do my best to slove every problem as fast as possible.
