• Fix carrying/attached objects logic (Community Merge item carrying code and switch to blacklist for carry blocking official-antistasi-community/A3-Antistasi#3210, Ultimate Fix: carrying/attached objects logic #733)

• Previously they were auto-added in all cases, regardless of whether the loadout already included them (except for the toolkits and mine detectors). Now, these are only added if a loadout doesn't have any.
• E.g. if a medic loadout has 2 medkits saved, this will be respected and no more will be added; however, if a medic loadout has no medkits/ifaks/etc saved (or the various ACE gubbins when playing with ACE), they will be auto-added as before. Similar for the other item types.

  • Added granular unit tier spawning to many functions to allow some overlap between the succession of police/militia/military/elite units and vehicles.
  • Changed the roadblock spawning logic. It now uses aggression to calculate the vehicle used, and war level to determine the garrison. The idea with "frontlines" is that they should have actual bunker checkpoints, and anything "inland" should be a mobile vehicular one.
• Emplacements in roadblocks (Emplacements in roadblocks #779)
  • Statics and vehicles will now also save when left near any rebel emplacement, except for watchposts. The statics and vehicles can have AI allowed or disallowed to use them, just like in any other zone.

  • Various pylon fixes involving use of getAllPylonsInfo official-antistasi-community/A3-Antistasi#3838: Various pylon fixes involving use of getAllPylonsInfo (only the garage parts)
  • 3.11.0 Testing Fixes 3 official-antistasi-community/A3-Antistasi#3873: 3.11.0 Testing Fixes 3 (only the garage parts)
  • Note: In Antistasi Ultimate, all UAV type vehicles will be automatically crewed by AI when placing from the garage or arms dealer. If they are a type of land vehicle / static weapon, they will get the option to allow or prevent AI manning them. If a radar, when manned by AI they will automatically scan the horizon looking for threats.

Parameters:

• Lockpicking for small groups (Lockpicking for small groups #737)

• Name: Allow Lockpick Kits | Location: Experimental Parameters | Description: Allow non-engineer players to use lockpick kits to unlock vehicles
• Name: Lockpick Kit Break Chance | Location: Experimental Parameters | Description: Chance that a lockpick kit will break upon use

  • Name: Allow AI to revive friendly unconscious units outside their squad within a set distance | Location: Experimental Parameters | Description: When enabled, if downed AI cannot be revived by any unit within their own squad, other friendly units within this many meters will attempt to revive them. AI will not revive units of another side.
