I have to announce that WICT has homepage and link is provided above. There is detailed description why I called it World in Conflict Tool Battlefield cannot be proud on AI
The stress is on making living breathing world.
New version will come out soon, hopefully, I am working on it.
I'am a fan of these three games (Battlefield 2 + Expansion, ARMA II Combined Operations & World in conflict + All expansions)
So therefore I like your addon!
Take a moment and visit WICT homepage. I updated all tutorials with new info.
I did some more testings of sandbox template (sandbox_exe.sqf script) to test its stability.
I also wrote a new tutorial : Expanding your markers (Snippets) --- very important for advanced users -- makes your life easier if you build missions with a lot of markers !!!
I am aware of the fact that WICT is not drag and drop tool, but it's flexibility is in the fact that you can script anything you want, and once you create some pattern you can repeat it and expand your game.
I am not very skilled in the art of scripting and I cannot seem to follow the instructions on your Wiki page. I noticed you had removed some videos on this mod and I was wondering if you could re-post or post a video on how to install the program and to edit and create your own mission. A sample example on how to do this would be very very helpful, also on how to move the files into the correct folders and where they should go etc. etc. From what I have heard and read this sounds like it could drastically expand the longevity of this game and make it a lot more fun. Thank you so much and I hope this won't be a problem.
They have seriously neglected to put any kind of detailed read-me in with this thing, even the wiki seems to explain things assuming the user has full knowledge of the tool already. I don't understand the line "Put WICT into .utes mission folders", but I've seen people using this on other maps too.
This is, most likely, one of the coolest things to come to arma2. Extreame learning curve. It seems to be worth it, though. The truth is that, this is a great mod that will go mostly unused by the common player. I can only think of one benefit to that: A lack of uninspired missions flooding the community, heh;) I sure thank you for my, eventual use of your very detailed, open-ended, amazingly complicated mod/tool:)
Hi and thank you all for commenting. I hasn't been around to see your comments on time, but here I am.
I removed old videos, because I changed how things are setup, and since you are not the only people that said this mode it complicated I had to make new versions.
I completely redesigned some parts, created new videos and made pre-defined settings, so it is now much easier to make basic WICT layout. But, yes, for full WICT power you have to have some previous experience with scripting --- for start knowing where to put folders / modes / scripts, what is mission folder (for example .utes, .chernarus .isladuala etc. etc.)
However... for newbies I redesigned basic parts, so now you have SP and MP template separated with most essential files.
Please, please, please --- I am here to help you and I am always helping people that want to work with WICT --- do not hesitate to come to Bohemia forum and ask anything, or send me PM here, I will visit it more often.
Need a litle help asap:)
Ill try to make it short and readeble; Can we copy trigers and other stuff on the demo mission and paste it on other mission?
Ive put the WICT_SP in my mission folder, inside the mission ive created.. , (example: Takistan 1)- What ive done was copy the things from Utes and paste it in a mission on Takistan and then on my mission folder (Takistan 1) ive pasted the WICT_SP and it does not work.
A little help would be apreciated.
And...Thank you to the people that did this!
Congrats.
Dont forget to reply!
I did it, idid it!:))
Where do i paste the classes and other stuff to OA, meaning: Clothes, cars, adaptated to OA terrain?
I saw something about classes but where do i put it? In the SQF, (?)....?
i am lost only like 4 friendly units spawn and they are paratroops and they end up dieing by the time they hit the ground and no enemys spawn.

World In Conflict Tool
by
ArmAIIholic
Description:
The WICT: World in Conflict Tool is ArmAII tool for infinitely creating dynamic battlefronts and ultimate free roaming experience with "Ultimate spawning tutorial" and powered by F2 framework.
Immerse yourself into the world of non-scripted battlefields. After creating just several bases the whole island will be covered with battles. If you immerse yourself deeper you can create sandbox-(Red Dead Redemption or GTA4)-style like world.
Features: Turn-based spawning system
brings new strategy dimension to the gameplay. Watch enemies’ movement, but also watch your teammates – you are not alone, use that as an opportunity.
No predefined locations
every inch of the map is potential spawning point and, the most important, battlefield. It’s completely free roam compatible. Every spawning point is calculated during the gameplay taking into consideration various parameters in order to create a battlefront and objective driven battles.
No predefined pathways
every class has its own FSM script that will evaluate the situation upon spawning and setup waypoints and goal – AI is finding the path on its own in order to accomplish that goal.
Safe, hot, tampon and directional zones
for true free roam experience in ArmA.
13 different classes
you can setup and modify for each base. This module is completely open for adding custom teams and squads, vehicles, loadouts… for ArmAII and ArmAII:OA.
It is not all about you
this is a world that will go on with or without you. Both sides will try to break the opponents frontline and capture the base. Both sides will try to capture neutral sectors and turn them into their vantage points.
No caching units
Still you can deploy particular number of units or just let the script make warfare for you. It’s fully compatible with any mission created in the editor. And above all it doesn't spawn just anywhere randomly - usage of the game resources is carefully observed and every spawned unit will play its role.
Stable version
tested, without bugs, mainly designed through FSM, ensures that spawning is accurate all the time.
This script is fully based on 360ISM I created before.

v2.3
CORE and USER SETTINGS
Major changes in the core and spawning system:
-- speeded up a script - it takes now 1.5 second to complete the process
-- added separate markers for west and east (open map in debug mode)
-- changed spawning position in templates e.g.
a) all (getMarkerPos "WICT_spawnLocation") are replaced with WICT_spwnPos
b) also now it is _groundloc = WICT_spwnPos;
-- added function for air-spawn displacement – manual p20 (Where to place a base?)
-- added function for calling reinforcements and instructions for artillery – manual p31/32 (Mission design tips)
-- smoother path finding upon spawn
USER SETTINGS
-- changed speed and altitude for aircrafts
MANUAL
-- added changes for version, installation etc.
ARCHIVE

ATTENTION DEVELOPERS: major change from previous version is that you don’t have to put a module on the map.
However, you also have to open .sqm in some text editor and to find and remove “mylogic” (with quotes), or you won’t be able to start that mission. This addon is now started as a normal script, but it should be installed as addon.

- confirmation for running WICT -- WICT v2.1 initialized successfully
- added auto start option for MP

USER SETTINGS
- wrapped code in NOT ClientOnly
MANUAL
- changed some parts according to changes in the script (as usual)

it's the battlefield not World in conflict :)
Thanx for commenting
Battlefield cannot be proud on AI

New version will come out soon, hopefully, I am working on it.
I'am a fan of these three games (Battlefield 2 + Expansion, ARMA II Combined Operations & World in conflict + All expansions)
So therefore I like your addon!
Please pay attention :
Take a moment and visit WICT homepage. I updated all tutorials with new info.
I did some more testings of sandbox template (sandbox_exe.sqf script) to test its stability.
I also wrote a new tutorial : Expanding your markers (Snippets) --- very important for advanced users -- makes your life easier if you build missions with a lot of markers !!!

Congrats to makers, thinkers, "donners"....
You need to change classnames in WICT pool of units in startSettings.sqf. Watch the Youtube video #1.

i am lost only like 4 friendly units spawn and they are paratroops and they end up dieing by the time they hit the ground and no enemys spawn.
