This is a continuation of the NR6 PACK script turned into an addon. Work on the script version has been ongoing for years and I recommend checking the BI Forums thread about both HAL (NR6) and the NR6 Pack to see what has been added since the last version of the original HAL.

This is a pack containing HETMAN Artificial Leader NR6 Edition and all of its expansions. This holds all of the work that I have done linked to HAL. In this you will find:

NR6 HAL which is a modified and expanded version of the original HAL made by Rydygier,
NR6 Reinforcements, a script for placing dynamic reinforcements for each side/faction,
NR6 Reinforcements (spawn mode), a mode of the latter script which spawns a batch of troops on module activation only once,
NR6 Sites for creating populated patrols and garrisons,
NR6 Air Reinforcements (A, B and C modes) providing dynamic reinforcements for air assets such as helicopters and fixed-wings (A for spawning airborne aircraft and B for reinforcements using parked aircraft, C for populating parked aircraft on the go),
NR6 Zbe_cache for HAL compatible group caching based on the original Zbe_Cache by zorrobyte,
A port of ALICE 2 the Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead civilians module.

This is the recommended way to use NR6 HAL as it contains tons of new features that seriously complement the original experience.

This version of the NR6 PACK is used by placing modules in the editor and customizing their settings. The outdated loose script version can still be found in the BI Forums Thread which will be posted below.

NR6 HAL (Simple Mode):
-Place HAL Core module
-Place HAL Gen Settings module (if desired)
-Place a HAL Commander module and make sure to set different commanders in the module (LeaderA - Leader H) if you are using more than one
-Place Commander Settings modules as desired and synchronize them to the HAL Commander module
-Place desired HAL Objectives (simple mode) and synchronize them to the HAL Commander module
-Place troops on each side and include them to HAL via HAL Include module by synchronizing a member of the placed squad to the module and the module to the commander module
*For additional features, explore the other modules and synchronize them to the HAL Commander module
*I recommend looking at the original HAL and its documentation to understand how the system works for the most part.

NR6 Reinforcements/Spawn:
-Place module and customize it
-Faction library is limited. Therefore adding compatible groups can be done in the Array tab or via the Asset Compiler module found under NR6 Tools.
Format for custom faction array should look like this (an array of arrays):

However, using the Asset Compiler is the recommended method (See below or in the composition example collection).

-Synchronize the module to the HAL Commander module that will control the troops

NR6 Air Reinforcements :
MODE A:
-Place module and customize it
-Faction library is non-existant so adding compatible aircraft can be done in the Array tab or via the Asset Compiler.

Format for custom faction array should look like this (an array of various aircraft):

However, using the Asset Compiler is the recommended method (See below or in the composition example collection).

-Synchronize the module to the HAL Commander module that will control the aircraft.

MODE B:
-Place module and customize it
-Synchronize module to parked aircraft and to at least one helipad (invisible or not)
-Synchronize the module to the HAL Commander module that will control the aircraft.

MODE C:
-Place module and customize it
-Synchronize module to parked aircraft
-Synchronize the module to the HAL Commander module that will control the aircraft.

NR6 Assets Compiler:
-Place down groups and vehicles to be added to the pool
-Place down a module and synchronize the groups and vehicles to it (only need one unit from the group to be synced)
-Either synchronize the Assets Compiler module to a Reinforcements/Air Reinforcements/Spawn/Site module to make the module use the compiled pool (overrides settings inside the module for factions) or Set a variable that will be used to store the pool (check the setting inside the Assets Compiler module)
-If the variable option was picked, make sure the Reinforcements/Air Reinforcements/Spawn/Site modules that will use it have their Faction set to "custom" and the Custom Pool set to use this variable.

Opening the missions in the editor is the recommended way to view the scenarios so that the user can see and understand how each module is set up. This is also why the missions are unpacked.
