Introducing LAMBS DANGER Version 2.6.2. Now how to encapsulate nearly two years of development into a readable short post?
Those of you who have been following our development branch know that we’ve releasing and testing stuff in the background. There have been some significant performance enhancements and fixes, heavily taking advantage of new scripting functionality introduced in Arma3 updated.
Major elements are:
We added a new Module: Task Defend. The module makes the group use buildings, walled fortifications, vegetation, or any combination as defensive positions. Once engaged, the group will remain within the area; moving from cover to cover according to proximity to the enemy.
The defending group will also frequently share information and attempt to call for Artillery fire.This makes it an ideal module to set up static defensive positions or defensive ambushes. It is also excellent to model artillery spotters that will hold fire, but actively call for artillery strikes against known enemies.
There are major improvements in how infantry groups perform flanking and suppressing actions. They now work closely with vehicles and their suppressive fire is more reliable. Trust me. Seeing an infantry group absolutely tear apart a position with suppressive fire warms our evil little hearts.
Speaking of vehicles, this has been another area of improvement. Not only will mortars inherently support nearby infantry with High Explosives, smoke and flares, but the Al can deploy the one-man commando mortars introduced in Reaction Forces.
This latest version of LAMBS Danger.fsm makes group-level tactics more flexible in that they can more easily be cancelled by both the group and would-be Zeus or mission makers.
You will also see crew changing vehicle positions. If the gunner is killed, a crew member will take his place. Move too close to an unarmed vehicle and drivers might exit the vehicle to deal with you up close and personal. Don’t worry. The AI will actually jump out of the vehicle in order to change seats.
There are more smaller changes. Debug-panel offers improved information, assault units clear buildings more effectively, and animations play more reliably in multiplayer situations.
Oh, and also there’s been a baby born which has slowed development a tad. ;)
