July 7 Update of DayZ-Expansion Bundle has fix for AI picking up items

First test are positive that AI might be fixed by Expansion team. Please give feedback if any of you are able to run AI with out this mod, that would be welcome news.

DayZ-Expansion Release Notes: AI, Core: Worked around RemoteObject functions being broken in DayZ 1.21. Fixes possible CTD with AI when taking and firing gun held and used shortly before by another player, and fixes desynced market container if purchasing guns with mags while player inventory is full.

Mods DayZ-Expansion AI. Fix AI Patrol Weapon Crash!

Prevents them from picking up Items (Weapons, Melee. ext).

To compensate for AI not picking up weapons, add extra magazines to their 'Loadout' or set 'UnlimitedReload = 1' with 2-4 magazines to inventory.

This is an attempt to get AI working until developers release real fix. Please provide feedback.

Reports of AI still crashing

There are reports on DayZ-Expansion Discord of server still crashing after installing this mod. Some things to try:

  • We tested and are using this on a server with no other mods that modify AI.
  • DayZ-Expansion AI is default settings except 'Faction' settings.
  • Server is running Shamans, Raiders, Mercenaries and Civilian factions with 'UnlimitedReload = 0' to stress test AI not getting Items.
  • Passive AI bots work on the server without this mod, Passive faction does not ever pickup any items. So try testing with all AI factions set to Passive.
  • Server running without AI crash since June 3. Would crash within 10 minutes of engaging AI before mod installed.

Do Not Repack, Do Not Re-upload, This took hours of testing.

Installation On Server

  • Copy 'GazKey.bikey' file from '@DZExpAINoPickupItems/Keys' folder to server root 'keys' folder.
