Mapfact: Dynamic AI Creator by Silola

BadAss [Mapfact.net] has announced the release of the Dynamic AI Creator by Silola in the BIS Forum. The DAC will add some dynamics to your mission.

MCPXXL has started the project DAC Zonewriter which is a help for all DAC beginners to create their first AI zones.

P.S. For those who don’t really understand what’s going on (I know I didn’t when I first read the news) here is a small explanation from a guy who knows nothing about mission-making. DAC will help you creating fully dynamic missions within 30-60 minutes. There are 16 demo-missions you can access in the editor that show you the workings of the dymanic mission generator. By assigning AI zones you can create the effect of massive numbers of troops present on the island without the slowdown of conventional methods. This is achieved by reducing group sizes when you’re too far away from them. Only units in the nearby vicinity are generated. On top of that every time somebody plays your mission situation changes. Player will encounter tank patrol instead of just infantry, AI can call for helicopter support instead of usual infantry support, patrols will follow different waypoints compared to the previous time you played etc. There is more to it than I just explained, but you will have to find that on your own.
