STALKER VOICES FOR AI UNITS

(32Mb, signed, +key, SP/MP, Plug&Play)

DESCRIPTION:

This addon bulds its own event and state system for Units and Groups. Depending unit activity addon will activate Combat Phrases taken from the original games STALKER: Shadow of Chornobyl and STALKER Clear Sky. There are only neutral voice-lines suitable for regular ARMA missions – reactions to enemy spotted, friendly down, healing, grenades, fleeing, etc, … no radiation, anomalies and arfefacts.

COMPATIBILITY:
  • Single-player Vanilla Campaign
  • Single-player Custom Scenarios
  • Multiplayer Hosted
  • Multiplayer Dedicated

CBA_A3

(suggested but not necessary) – adds faction and language options to main menu. If you want to change language settings on Dedicated Server, you have to #login as admin. CBA_A3 should be loaded on both server and local machine.

ADDON FEATURES:
  • Voice-lines are played only on AI units (even when group leader is Player)
  • No word about anomalies, artifacts or radiation. Only combat and neutral phrases.
  • This addon doesn’t replace or modify any files
  • Select Faction Voice Set for any Arma III Faction [available on Single-player or Server side]
  • Select Language for each Side/Faction (Ukrainian is by default) [available on Single-player or Server side]
  • Additional settings to control Vanilla chatter and talks (useful if you want to hear original scenario radio chatter and talks)
  • Every phrase activated on unit is played on all connected machines and server (if not dedicated)

FACTIONS AVAILABLE:
  • MILITARY [UA/RU] (default for WEST)
  • FREEDOM [UA/RU] (default for EAST)
  • BANDITS [UA/RU] (default for RESISTANCE)
  • STALKERS [UA/RU] (default for CIVILIAN)
  • CLEAR SKY [UA]
  • NEWBIES [UA]
  • NONE (if selected for SIDE as Faction, this side will be excluded from this addon system)

With Addon Options you can assign any Faction to any Arma3 Side.

THREE SEPARATE SYSTEMS:
  1. Personal – Individual actions of unit like throwing a grenade, getting hit, killed another unit, getting shot from a friendly unit etc.
  2. Group – Voice-lines that will be activated only on Group Leaders (but not if leader is Player): Group has spotted an enemy, one of group members was killed, group movement speed is changed, etc.
  3. Random idle – A set of Voice-lines for idle state, when units stand still on positions or casually walk to next waypoint.

To customize factions you want to be affected by this mod just add this line to your mission InitServer / Init:

missionNamespace setVariable ["FGSVsides",[RESISTANCE,WEST,EAST,CIVILIAN]];

This variable is used on start only if CBA_A3 not loaded. Otherwise addon options applied.

INSTALLING:

Simply subscribe to this addon and activate it in your launcher when starting the game. You dont have to edit or rebuild you mission files to hear something new from AI.
If CBA_A3 mod is also activated you can find addon setting for language and factions in addon options.

FOR SP

launch any SP mission and AI units will be affected by this addon. You dont need any script or option change.

FOR SERVER AND MP

it is recomended to add this mod as a serverside mod and put the Key in keys dirrectory, so people without this mod can still join and play. "STALKER VOICES FOR AI" will be in "Suggested but not nessessary" addons.

Launch it like:

"-servermod=pathtoaddon@FGSV;" + FGSV.bikey in "keys" folder on server.

FOR PLAYERS IN MP

with this addon you can join only those servers where this addon is alowed (FGSV.bikey file in server "keys" folder)

TESTED in SP APEX PROTOCOL mission and on Dedicated MP Server
