DISCUSS A3 Claude written code for arma.
I have been a fan of arma for over a decade. Never picked up coding that well to design and create my own stuff. Nor had the time.
Now that Claude AI is really good at large file rewrites for sqf, I wanted to give some feedback to the community.
Claude has rewritten EOS spawning system with my personal criteria and AI written scripts, made me a dynamic mission generator to work along side EOS if I want, rewrite of BONs recruitment, help merge and working on compatibility mods for both (ifa3, fow, spe, spex, sep) ww2 mods and (sog/s and unsung redux) to fully align all vehicles, ammo, magazines and vehicle weapons, armor, armor values etc to be as close to the parent mod as possible. Claude finds errors, fixes, and diagnostic stuff and can piece it all together in short. All this is done in very small periods of time. It relies on testing using the game engine and retest, and you need to be aware of how to use arma 3 tools and give Claude specific details. Claude also provides ideas to expand on your projects. Sure, there are some limits, but for my needs, this is huge.
This opens arma 3 options big time.
