Figured as much, though Platoon Commander might be something I can use now that I look at it, especially when I set up enemies to be fully automated, and I can control friendly forces whilst playing with players

#

certainly better than using MCC as I've been doing

#

Thanks for that

little nexus
#

platoon commander tries pretty well imo

#

but there's also a ton of issues with it

#

and unfortunately the author cant be reached 😦

dense glade
#

Oh, how bad are the issues?

#

Like is it still usable to a good amount?

#

I've been looking for a replacement for MCC for what I said above to use after my break from Arma

little nexus
#

well its based around the HC menu structure, which imo is.... terrible 😄

#

select a unit? now you can't zoom anymore :DDDDD

#

also it handles mixed groups really poorly

#

and in general is vague in how your AI units are actually diong their stuff

chilly oar
little nexus
#

yep

#

the menu structure of that stuff is god awfull

dense glade
#

Is there any alternatives to such control/command mods other than MCC?

#

Whilst we are on such a topic, is there also any good mods you personally tried or recommend for air support/support/artillery support and etc.

chilly oar
#

Mind you, I have heard that 'chain of command' is supported... no idea if it actually works though (BIS_HC_1 setVariable ["chainofcommand", true];)

little nexus
#

to me HC is a typical vanilla system

#

where it works... until it doesnt

#

and at that point you have literally 0 ways of fixing and need to create your own system from scratch

chilly oar
little nexus
#

because from any vanilla system i've EVER tried (Whether its zeus, eden, respawn systems, etc) i always run into some thing you just can't work around and that point you're fucked

#

making the menu systems, map interaction (or 3d rather) and so is easy, but yea just trying to have a RELIABLE Move option is too much of a chore in arma

#

even something simple like a "Move somewhere.... if you see people shoot at them, but the second you dont see anymore start moving again" in arma is just a weird mix of hacky workarounds to get something that works halfway

#

Platoon Commander doesn't fix that that much.... the second you go into command, getting units out of combat again is a pain

#

its definitely one of the things I hope Enfusion improves on: Moddability of AI behavior.

chilly oar

#

It's a huge issue if you want survivable combat, or combat that doesn't feel like a whackamol, since the second an AI side goes into combat it's all or nothing

#

arma 3 suffered from the Game AI dev role being an empty chair

#

much of the arma 3 ai code is from 2007-2012

chilly oar
# little nexus you're correct 😉

Hence needing to add separate Control AI waypoints and a separate Control AI option for unit attributes when placing them in the Editor (in addition to AI and Player, the former being the legacy Arma AI) to make them compatible with said waypoints... or as BISim has called some of this, 'AI on Rails'

#

Now I'm remembering the BI dev who admitted that Arma 3 AI wouldn't be allowed to autonomously lay mines...

#

I don't know if this is the correct forum, but I want to suggest Arma tweaking the "resuscitation animation" so that it is cancelable maybe? at the quickest, the animation for reviving a teammate is so long that you're a sitting duck, enough to where an enemy can simply stumble upon you and you just gotta watch them kill you.

Can't you just move, like in koth?

#

Anyone know of realistic helicopter mods outside of the hatchet UH-60 and Apache Project? I'm looking for a more realistic CH-47, OH-58, etc. American helicopters

#

dusk vine
dense glade
#

Can you tell me a bit of the game?

#

its 75% off for 46 hours

dusk vine
#

well it has offered thousands of hours of gameplay for the people who enjoy it so it cant be totally awful.

Theres nearly endless possibilities on how it can be played as it is higly moddable. Mostly its plays out as tactical military shooter but there are other ways too.

Single player experience is pretty strong too and there are quite many multiplayer game modes to try out

dense glade
#

you can drive tank planes and drones and stuff right?

#

even ships?

dusk vine
#

boats

#

bigger ships are static

strange spire
#

dense glade
#

shouldI buy arma reforger or arma 3

narrow canyon
#

Look at videos of both of them and see what you want, we cannot tell you what game you prefer

jovial grotto
#

i would say a3 tho as of currently, multiplayer on reforger is basically a gamble for some people it works and for some people like me it’s basically disabled

opaque tundra
#

Reforger is a stopgap to aid in modding support being carried over for Arma 4, is currently only really PvP and pretty much state-of-the-art graphics and a seemingly much improved interface.

#

While i would love to say "get reforger in early access and enjoy it getting upgraded over time", i once did trust that Bannerlord would be a good game.

#

Im not the best at arma III and need help making a zeus misson dm me if you want to help.

dusk vine
dense glade
#

#communities_arma3 to browse through advertised groups

Note: Please follow the templates in those channels (if applicable), and don't use them for discussions.

# dense glade shouldI buy arma reforger or arma 3

There are a lot of extremely questionable reviews on it right now as far as Steam goes. You could read those. More than a few say things about crashing, few people being on it and using it, etc. Why no one mentioned this is a bit beyond me. As far as reforger I mean.

terse onyx
#

Buy it, see and experience what this engine is gonna bring us with Arma 4. That’s what made me buy it, I didn’t go into it thinking this game was gonna be without any issues on launch. This is the same way bannerlord and many other games have introduced their titles

dense glade
#

what is the explosion mod

Do you know the camera mod?

Might try to set up an SCP rp thing.

With as few mods as possible cause large mod lists make my brain fart

opaque tundra
#

I mean, you more or less just have to use that one popular anomaly pack mod and perhaps the scp monster mod?
If you get a Zeus to babysit, they can do plenty of spooky stuff.

Yeah
