As above

its alot less busy then mine ive created i was wondering did you find the dzai ai more intelligent then the sarge ai, reason im asking is i had to add more things so that the ai would fortify instead of just being a clean swarm to front gate

[Uro]

I tweaked my dzai's stats so some AI are more hardcore, some are more average, in the prison I put a mixture of AI skillsets. :)

 

they generally act like players would if they were under attack, taking cover, using buildings, running out infront of bullets :D

[andygully]

installed and is working fine thank you  :D

[cayote]

Just a congrat...good work and thanks for the support.  Works fine....

[Jaxjags]

I'm having a slight issue with this. I followed the instructions, but now I'm getting AI on the main islands instead of just the prison island. I want to keep the AI soley on the prison island. Am I doing something wrong? Something else I need to configure? And somehow the AI is coming back to life after they're killed.

[Uro]

Yeah, your AI aren't configured correctly :)

 

 

Look at your dzaiconfig.sqf in \dayz_server\DZAI\init\

 

Within dzaiconfig.sqf you need to look for the following settings and set them as false if you don't want AI spawning dynamically on the map, or at static spawns around the map:

 

 

DZAI_staticAI = false;

 

DZAI_dynAISpawns = false;

 

 

StaticAI generates spawn points in towns, cities and other predefined areas.

DynamicAI generates random spawn points around the map.

 

IIRC these settings dont effect custom spawns, and your AI will spawn as they are set in  cust_spawn_tavi.sqf / cust_markers_tavi.sqf

 

 

 

As for them coming back to life, you don't always kill them with 1 shot, sometimes they get knocked out and/or bleed like a regular player would, hense the "coming back to life" is simply them regaining conciousness :)

[Jaxjags]

Uro1,

 

Thanks for the help! This was my first time configuring AI on my server so I thought I was doing something wrong for sure! :) 

 

I'll let you know how it turns out!

[insertcoins]

for some reason every building is streamed over 15 times. Kinda weird opening 15 doors just to enter the barracks :D

Have a search on the forum, theres similar threads about custom map mod buildings adding multiples.

 

Could be something to do with scripts your running or the way your host loads stuff.  I can't recall what the actual fix is, but its nothing to do with my code :)

 

 

Also, your youtube link is broken :)

[tinux]

Awesome map addon, seems to work perfectly fine! I used the "server" side option and AI spawns, buildings are there, but the only thing I am missing are the custom markers on the map. Any idea what I might be forgetting?

 

Have set those options in the basic config Dayz AI:

DZAI_staticAI = false;

 

DZAI_dynAISpawns = false;

 

Rest of the options is addon default.  Running EMS 0.26 and Infistar AH, might one of those be blocking the markers?

 

my cust_markers_tavi.sqf:

/*
	Custom Marker Requirements:
	
	Spawn markers: The area covered by the marker will be used as the patrol and spawning area.
	
		1. Marker shape must be Ellipse (Could be rectangular but the function will consider the marker as elliptical regardless)
		2. Marker should have identical x and y dimensions. If they are different, the smaller dimension will be used instead.
	
	Blacklist markers: If a player is within this area, they will not be selected as a target for dynamic AI spawns.
	
		1. Marker shape may be Ellipse or Rectangle
		2. Marker dimensions should cover the area to be blacklisted.

The custom spawn dzai markers are invisible, to make them visible you need to change the setMarkerType line from "Empty" to a visible map marker type.

 

Personally i'd leave the dzai spawn files as they are and put the visible marker in the missionfile\mission.sqm, beneath the trader markers.  That way all the visible map markers (trader cities etc) would be in the same file.

Any chance this can be converted to NAPF? on one of the islands :P

I could but theres no way to take the actual prison building from tavi > napf.  so all that would be left would be the surrounding objects :)

Aww shucks your right :(

I want some awesome NAPF additions. I suck in the editor and I just dont have time with my work and family.

[Uro]

I'll have a play around when I get some free time to play on our napf server, get a feel for the map, see what I can throw together. :)

[Stoney316]

just a question will this work with DZMS installed or do i have to have DZAI as well

[Uro]

Either or both :)

 

For static spawns I'd recommend DZAI.

 

I have a few AI mods and mission systems running side by side :)

_bQty = _bQty + 1;

} else {

_objectQueue set [_vQty,_hiveResponse];

_vQty = _vQty + 1;

 

just making sure that this is the place i put the script.  cause when i start the server and i log in it just gets to the waiting to authenticate with the server screen.  then i have to wait a minute then it just goes back to the lobby and i have to click connect.  when i take the script out.  the server works normal again

[Uro]

Add them above this line:

if (isServer and isNil "sm_done") then {
 
serverVehicleCounter = [];
_hiveResponse = [];

To look like this:

//Custom Buildings
call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\mapaddon\prison.sqf";

if (isServer and isNil "sm_done") then {

serverVehicleCounter = [];
_hiveResponse = [];

IIrc the server monitor contents have been changed quite a lot since I wrote this install guide. :)

[Stoney316]

thank you very much

[Stoney316]

thank you i got it working. not put DZAI in yet cause had problem with the roaming AI keep respawning too quickly.it was clear one group then 2 mins later another group would appear and thats just the roaming AI

[Uro]

Yeah those dynamic AI are quite lethal if you dont configure them right :)

 

Here's the settings I use for DZAI dynamic spawns:

 

DZAI\init\dzai_config.sqf....

Lines 108 -109:

 

//Time (seconds) required to reach maximum spawn probability per player. Lower number = More frequent dynamic spawns, Higher Number = Less frequent. (Recommended range: 1200-2700, Default: 1800)
DZAI_maxSpawnTime = 2700;

 

 

DZAI\scripts\dynamicSpawn_manager.sqf

 

Lines 12-13

 

//Maximum chance to be selected for spawn condition check. Prevents unfairly high probability when few players are online.
#define CHANCE_CAP 0.1

 

CHANCE_CAP goes from 0,0.1,0.2, etc up to a maxmimun of 1.

 

 

:)

[Stoney316]

we went to the prison last night to have a go at clearing it.  found there was no AI spawning?  even though they spawn on the map
