What is DAC ?
In short, DAC allows mission-makers to define spawn and waypoint zones, which will be randomly and dynamically populated by AI. It can add to the (re)playability of the AI and improve their reactiveness but is of course not as straightforward as hand-placing AI.
Here is an overview-video for the various possibilities:
Why try DAC ?
One of my main gripes with ARMA how it can occasionally feel very static as players go through the AI checkpoints and patrols with one AI group not reacting to another's combat. DAC might possibly fix that. Ultimately it's an experiment to see if it improves our experience without sacrificing too much performance for it.
How to use DAC?
That one's on you. Download DAC and add the script version to your mission (we're not using the addon version for obvious reasons). Implement it in your missions and share your experiences and feedback here.
One important modification: When using DAC, open f\setAiSkill\f_setAISkill.sqf and modify the sleep in line 13 to 30 seconds:
That way, the DAC-spawned units will properly be affected by the F3 AI Skill Selector.
