WICKED AI 2.2.7

Since I really like (read love) the Wicked AI missions and support for them has gone in the latest patches, I decided to dust off the old files and start making these 1.0.6+ compatible. Starting with a few minor bugfixes and some custom loadouts, but quickly turning into a proper redo with awesome help of the - very much alive - mod community!

Release 2.2.7 (worldwidesorrow)

• Minor updates for DayZ Epoch 1.0.7 compatibility.

Release 2.2.6 (worldwidesorrow)

• Mission objects and crates use compact arrays and functions. Missions can spawn multiple crates.
• Optional godmode mission objects for servers with overpowered military vehicles. Also disables simulation.
• New mission C130/MV-22 Armed Vehicle Air Drop added.
• New multi-crate mission Firestation added.
• AI multiplier added so overall AI level can be adjusted easily with variables in config.sqf
• AI Killfeed added to "on kill" function - enabled in config.sqf with variable ai_killfeed.
• effectiveCommander option added so vehicle gunners can get kill and humanity rewards. @Twist
• Map independent patrol missions. Reworked so they use map locations as waypoints and they only spawn one thread instead of three.
• Improved use of the mission data variable for modularity.
• Avoid traders replaced with avoid safezones that uses the built in DZE_SafeZonePosArray in init.sqf. @Twist
• Some functions that were not being used and are not necessary like isSlope and inDebug removed.
• Additional parameter for the load ammo function added so armed vehicles can have magazines placed in their gear.
• Mission vehicles remained locked until the mission is cleared to prevent ninjas.
• Since Arma has a bad habit of not kicking dead AI out of vehicles, keys will not spawn on AI static gunners or vehicle crew.
• Killzone Kid's shuffle plus function added for mission array randomization. @oiad
• BigEgg's localization solution turned into a function that localizes and formats messages submitted as arrays.
• The dynamic text option has color-coded mission announcements based on marker color.
• Additional code auditing and optimization.
• "mission" variable includes server key for security @BigEgg17
• missions combined into one folder for ease of update
• configurable minimum loot level in config.sqf

Installation Instructions

1. Click Clone or Download the green button on the right side of the Github page.

   Recommended PBO tool for all "pack", "repack", or "unpack" steps: PBO Manager

2. Extract the downloaded folder to your desktop and open it

3. Go to your server pbo and unpack it.

4. Copy the WAI folder into the dayz_server folder.

5. Navigate to directory dayz_server\system\scheduler and replace sched_corpses.sqf with the one from the download.

6. Copy over file sched_wai.sqf to the same folder.

7. Open file sched_init.sqf.

   Find this line:

   call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers (PATH+"sched_safetyVehicle.sqf");

   Place this line directly below it:

   call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers (PATH+"sched_wai.sqf");

   Find this line:

   [ 300,      336,    sched_lootpiles_5m,         sched_lootpiles_5m_init ],

   Place this line directly below it:

   [ 90,       60,     sched_wai,                  sched_wai_init ],

8. Navigate to the init folder and open server_functions.sqf

   Place this line at the very bottom of the file.

   call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\WAI\init.sqf";

9. Repack your server PBO.

Mission Folder

1. Go to your mission pbo and unpack it.

2. Open mission.sqm

   Find:

   "chernarus",

   And add the following line below it:

   "aif_arma1buildings",

Note: The announcements used in this mod are localized strings contained in the mod's dayz_code PBO. If you want to adjust the announcements, you need to create your own string table and overwrite the existing strings in the "WickedAI" section of stringtable.xml.

3. Repack your mission PBO.

Note: In order for players to receive radio announcements, they must have ItemRadio in a toolbelt inventory slot, so you might want to adjust your default loadout in init.sqf if you have this feature enabled.

Configuration

Open file config.sqf in the WAI folder and review the configuration options. Generally, there are comments that explain the options.

Versioning

For transparency into our release cycle and in striving to maintain backward compatibility, bootstrap is maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines. Sometimes we screw up, but we'll adhere to those rules whenever possible.
