I don't remember changing the amount of bandits between v1.8 and v2.0, but I could be wrong.

And about the ammo issue, I've shortened the delay between each magazine re-fill, so I don't think that the rearm feature had anything to do with it : the delay was a bit too long and they had time to empty their mags (and signal that they were out of ammo) before having them refilled.

Hi Haleks,

Still some feedback about 2.0:

- it seems definitively to me there are less bandits around in general. I have finally met a bandit squad however

- the ammo reload trick sometimes does not work: I have seen at least a couple of time survivors going full auto and quickly ending up with just one magazine left (and the orange indicator on the squad menu). Maybe the delay has to be shortened even more

Cheers,

Anubis

in both factions,.

I just checked, and the only thing I did between v1.9 & v2.0 was to fix/move some triggers wich were activated over & over...  I don't know; would you guys want to see more of them (I think there're already plenty!)?
And I will keep toying with the ammo fix for 1.7.7.

@Nabu : as mp5lng suggested, PBO manager works fine (it's the one I use).

[Nabu]

cool thank you mp5! i just installed PBOManager and i am curious to get into that a bit more.

About the bandits... i cant say there are to fiew bandits... at least in my missions i meet enough to be well entertained. In towns i close to always hear some fighting near or far of me.
I get sometimes 2 helis, last time in the additional mission. they are a bit annoying to get down or rid of them. but bandits i get a good number, also bandit groups.

Hi Haleks,

I personally would like to see more bandits appearing in general, but once an area has been cleared of bandits, I do not want them appearing over and over. If I leave the area then it is fine to re-populate it, it makes sense.

The individual bandits in 1.8 were perfect to me: you were always on the edge traveling. The bandit squads of 1.8 were not because they kept re-appearing in an endless wave, it was almost a nightmare.

Cheers,

Anubis

The sqf files can be opened with any basic text editor. You'll have to modify the following ones :
doSomething_bandits.sqf, doSomething_banditSquad.sqf, doSomething_banditstwo.sqf and doSomething_survivor.sqf (as well as the "respawn_survivor" file!).

Now add this line :

                _unit addEventHandler ["Killed",{_this call fnc_spawn_deathFlies;}];

under this line :

                _unit addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{_this call local_zombieDamage;}];

Note that the banditsquad sequence uses several units : unit, unit1 and unit2. Don't forget to modify the new line accordingly.
You'll also want to modify the doSomething_helis file if you want to add the death flies to the choppers' crew as well.

Can you find me a good one, pleassssse

[mp5lng]

You can't make the changes "inside" PBO manager; you have to move the files elsewhere first (like on your desktop), make your changes & save, and them put them back in the mission file.

Haleks, my good sir.

Do you have any ideas about the AI not dropping out of the heli when shot? The crash seems to eat bodies.

I've not looked into it as it haven't bothered me that much.

[Nabu]

ok, so extracting and editing/saving works, but i cant manage to put it back to the pbo... may i open a extra tread for it or do you think i will understand this soon?^^

Here's how i edit files in a pbo archive....
1- i open the pbo archive (let's say the mission file).
2-copy the (let's take the init.sqf) file to desktop.
3-edit the init file in the desktop and save it.
4-copy the edited init file and past it in the right folder wher it's presented in the pbo file (mission archive)   [ you need to select the main folder that holds the init file,.

Hope that helps even it's not that clear  :-p

Okay above...! Do you want to have that heli and all the bandits loot at the same time ???     !!Here's the way i do it....instead of head shot the pilot....RAIN HIM WITH FULL AUTO M4 OR AK !  Worked two times for me, and all the loot is yours  ;-)

[master bates]

Or just simply fire at the main rotor should take at least 5 hit with DMR
Then the pilot will try to safe land (unless he drops it on a small house)
do that while its heading towards you and when it overshoots you
And with a open field  its then a small firefight with the 2 gunners
And presto u have to kill the pilot and u are the new owner of a slightly damaged chopper

It would be cooler if you could just trickshot the pilot in the head and watch the explosion, and then collect the gear. :<

I know how to fix it now, though. I just had to think about it. :D

I'll post a comment here on how to do it when I've tested it. :D
It will kick the "player" out of the heli when killed.
