Topic: Ai through Coop?

Now to be honest I don't play coop. I don't know how it works, how many people can join, etc. But one thing I think I know, is that there is ai during a multiplayer game. Can this be exploited into making servers, maybe for 24 players, then having 8 ai players that can be used for special purposes?
If possible theres a whole bunch of nifty things you could do with it. Wild creatures that attack people (rancor), special commander assests (maybe on infantry only maps we might see some 'call in able' air strikes, where the fighters are actually ai run, or how about for the imps some dark trooper pods, that could fall down like supply boxes, and then ai run dark troopers (driod stormies) can spawn from it), auto turrets on some maps (deathstar), and some othre really nifty stuff. How many players can coop mode handle, and can it be exploited to achieve similar means to the stuff i described?

The dark troopers were first unleashed shortly after the Battle of Yavin, on the unsuspecting Alliance installation of Tak Base. The Empire launched the droids via hyperspace capsules, in a fashion similar to the distribution of deep space probe droids. The inhuman soldiers tore through all resistance, and devastated the Rebel outpost on the planet Talay. Investigating this disturbing new assault was Alliance mercenary Kyle Katarn. He uncovered the secret dark trooper project, and traced it back to its source, the immense production facility aboard the Arc Hammer, General Mohc's flagship.

Re: Ai through Coop?

Good ideas all round. But is anyone else thinking playable rancor?

Re: Ai through Coop?

Btw, playable rancor would be impossible and very OP and plus they can kill everything easily unless the other team takes it down together, but if this is added into the mod plz make it so that the rancor can only be used once by the player with the highest score, but not for both teams.

Or there could be a sort of Hunt mode like what SWBF2 has but involves a rancor as a possible vehicle that can go around and kill enemies together, maybe a three seater or four seater cuz whoever they could face on the tatooine map or whatever would only be one sand person per person or w/e.

Re: Ai through Coop?

I like were this is going smile I like to play coop just to boost my confidence sometimes lol.

To add to this idea maybe the ai could be in fighters that constantly respawn like in Star Wars: The Clone Wars Multiplayer mode, where if bases were captured they would produce a constant stream of ai controlled vehicles to help in the fight. I do not know if this is possible, but it would be great to capture a cp and then have ai controlled tanks or fighters deploy and help out with the fight.

If nothing else please make ai controlled mouse bots big_smile

Re: Ai through Coop?

Would you happen to know how many human players can play in a coop game? Because if you could fit in 24, then I'm very surprised this idea hasn't come up already.
