Sarge AI attacks friendly players

[tigger]

We are running into trouble that Sarge AI (1.5.2) is being rather malicious. Survivors and and even military occasionally open fire on hero players (even if these have no murders and even if they haven't ever killed a survivor/soldier.) Looking through the logs, they even seem to be attacking themselves occasionally. Further more, although they are not supposed to search for vehicles, they tend to want to hitch a ride and then either just sit there or drive away once you get out.

 

I even tried setting the friendly AI side to WEST, but the first survivor patrol opened fire on me and injured me and all I got was the usual "blue on blue, cease fire" messages as I was returning fire.

I'm not getting this on my server.  I wouldn't go playing with the faction settings either, that causes untold weirdness.  Best advice is to remove Sarge Ai completely , then re-install from scratch, with clean files.  Sounds to me like your settings are screwed up! :(

[tigger]

It's even more weird now- I took out all soldiers, but they are still spawning and in addition, bandits sometimes spawn as resistance. I need to clean the configs and reinstall.

[tigger]

OK, perhaps custom missions have been the issue, since the mission AI was set to "resistance". It might be that the SARGE AI playing for "resistance" knows how many "resistance" members you killed.

I've heard that using faction.sqf in the mission system results in weirdness if you're already running Sarge AI. Aside from that...seems like a reinstall is in order.

fr1nk is spot on.  Don't mix the faction files.  Use one or the other, if you're using Sarg Ai or DZAI , don't use a sperate faction.sqf as those mods already have the settings at startup.

I don't think I'm mixing faction files. I have only Sarge and Sarge-based missions, only one faction.sqf is linked. It seems to be resolved for now..
