Woot! Brilliant work as per, I'm glad you've kept it Command wheel based single click option, I was wondering how you were going to implement it, if at all. I know I suggested it but I was looking back on it, thinking, how the hell would he fit something like that in which works just as easy as everything else. Glad you've kept the simple but powerful concept of SOGAI in this newest addition (Although im pretty sure it wouldn't of been that simple to implement, so thanks for your continued work on this project)

It wasn't too bad to build. But I suck at math so calculating direction of object side and offset positions did stump me for awhile. Thanks again for the great feature video and this suggestion.

Thanks for your work on this mod! it has become one of my all time favorites, up there with SSPCM, Zeus wargame RTS, and Dynamic Recon ops

It already works fine for Apex Protocol, GM Force Recon, Western Sahara, Combat Patrol and Escape on Malden, Altis, Tanoa, Livonia, etc.

Absolutely the best Mod I ever used. Do the AI-Soldiers have Stamina? Because I use the Remove stamina Mod. The AI is sometime very slow when I run, and they can't keep up. Is it possible to change that? If not, no problem.

@johnnyboy8657

Thanks dude. I'll take a look at the code regarding stamina. I think I have it turned off. I don't have direct control over the AI speed when they are in follow mode, so if player sprinting they tend to fall behind. But if you look at some point forward and give them a Move There or Lay Dog command they run faster to that point (that's what I do when I want whole team moving fast).

@@simisoadnomis3d407This mod always disabled ambient US voices for Prairie Fire missions. The reason was they became repetitive very fast, and it was immersion breaking to have them talk while sneaking around the jungle. But the VC ambient voices is always on, as I think it increases immersion and suspense to suddenly hear their voices in the jungle. I guess I could make a CBA setting that allows you to turn on the US ambient voices, but its not high in my priority list.

It's possible, but I'm not motivated to put the work in. If you own Prairie Fire DLC, you can use the mod in most other Vanilla and DLC missions (nearly any mission where player has an AI squad). IMO, Prairie Fire is bets ARMA content made to date, and totally worth the price.

@@johnnyboy8657 Thanks for getting back to me. Yes I do have Prairie Fire DLC, and I've been learning to use SOG AI. It's a game changer. I guess I have a couple of questions then. So it's okay to mix the required DLCs together? Eg in Spearhead, you mixed SOG, Global Mobilization and Spearhead? Generally when I make missions, I keep mods separated by era in the Arma Launcher. Secondly. The option for selecting and spawning a squad before the mission, it's great but there are times I'd like it turned off. Is this possible? Thanks again. This is really good work.

@@johnk5165 Hi John. Yeah, its fine to have multiple DLCs running at same time. My mod only requires Prairie Fire. But if running a Prairie Fire mission, I like to also have Spearhead and Burn Em mod running so you get Flame Throwers, Flame FX, and more immersive voice files (from Spearhead) in Nam missions, plus Burn Em's burning animations and screams. If running a Spearhead mission, I have PF DLC running so I can use SOG AI mod, and GM running (if my mod senses GM running then it applies GM German voices to the Spearhead German units which do NOT have voices yet), but you're not required to have GM running. Regarding spawning a team at start my mod will not present that option if the mission starts with AI already in player's squad (like Apex Protocol missions). I also have a known list of missions where AI joins player later, so for those missions the Spawn Team option does not appear. If you have a particular workshop mission you like where AI joins player later, give me the mission name, and I will add it to that list. In those missions, SOG AI works for the AI that joins player. If you're playing your own Editor mission and its not in the Prairie Fire setting, then give the player some AI in his squad at start, and you won't see the Spawn AI Team action, but SOG AI will work for your squad. Have fun and report back how it all works out for you.

@@johnnyboy8657 Hey Johnnyboy. I like to make my own large scale missions on Arma for single player. In these missions, the player can recruit extra troops using the Spyder Recruitment mod. I've been testing SOG AI with this and it does a few weird things when a get the new AI to join the team. (Eg, half of them stop listening to orders). That said, this is still a great mod with so much potential. Tested the one scenario using with and without SOG AI. Without it, the AI died very early. With SOG AI, they worked as a team and it was really good to play. So I'm going to try some of the PF SOG missions now with SOG AI. Looking forward to it.

@@johnk5165 Hey John, I'm glad you are enjoying the mod. Regarding editor missions, if mission starts with player having no AI in squad, then "Spawn AI Team" action is available to player. After spawning a team, any additional units that join the team (via Spyder or otherwise) should be also commandable via Squad AI. If Editor Mission starts with player having AI units in his squad, the spawn team action does not appear, and SOG AI should work for those units on squad, and any units that may join later. If you want to start the player without units, but use Spyder to recruit ai later, then put this into your init.sqf, and SOG AI won't initiate until the first unit is recruited: missionNameSpace setVariable ["jboy_teamJoinsLater",true];
