Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

Hm, I still have complaints about the AI big_smile
I don't know if any of this can be fixed but I am going to lit it anyway.

First, the AI suffers a bit from, I'm shooting your vehicles but you don't care.
They spam grenades like maniacs *thank goodness they only have two*.
I mentioned before how they act like zombies running straight at you.
They seem to have trouble driving the speeders that can carry several men, alot of slowly shimmying backwards and forwards to get to the spawn points.
No use of cover whatsoever.
Are happy to take a few shots at you or your fellow troops, but will leae you alone if you duck behind a corner.
One of he most annoying ones is if a walker gets within about 10 meters of any troops, they will run straight under the walker and stand firing their pistols into its belly. And if you shoot at them, you get no response what so ever, they just continue on their suicidal attack on the walker.
And if you can fix any of these AI issues, while your at it,
can you make the troops in your squad actually follow you when you tell them to "follow me soldier"

wow what a list big_smile

I may lead a double life full of secrets and deception, but that's no reason to be suspicious.

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

Great feedback.  I will work on it.   I will need to redo the pathmaps for Encounter at Mos E so the bots will take the fires into account.   I can adjust the AI so the bots will stay at a distance and shoot.   

You need to set yourself up as a squad leader through the commander's menu to get the bots to respond to commands better.

I am using the 2142 maps as single player test maps.  My focus is on supporting the First Strike maps for Single player.

I don't know what is causing the Darth vader troll texture to appear.

I also plan on adding autocontrollers to the gunner positions.

It looks like the AA Gun's missles will cause a CTD when fired.

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

Ok that's cool.
My main concern with the "follow me" command was that it is only very occasionally that maybe one soldier will actually respond and say "yes sir" but then only follow me for about 20 meters before going his own way. I think tweaking the AI so that the squads stick together and follow their leaders, and follow orders without question will really make the Empire have that feel that they have, of undying loyalty. The Rebells can have a little more freedom I guess, but I just think that i the Imps always stick together and do what their told straight away every time (even if it means they die) then it will make it feel a whole lot more Authentic.

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

I agree with Blaz3r.  The Imperials should be extremely regimented and follow orders to the letter.  I'm not saying the should be lemmings but rather well disciplined and precise.  Conversely, the Rebel Alliance ground forces should also be well disciplined but should exhibit a more "guerrilla" style of warfare while still following orders...

Re: Single Player mini-mod WIP

Something I would just like to point out, in the space map, the controls are not inverted and can' be inverted, I don't know if this is just FS or the mini mod but it is quite irritating only being able to use the directional keys to fly ship as they are inaccurate and I can't fly at all with un-inverted mouse big_smile
