Whooops :oops: You're right, yes, it's still visibility-cheating, on pretty much all difficulty levels, though it doesn't really matter on Easy difficulty. Which doesn't mean that the AI's units see farther in combat; it's only about having full knowledge about the game state within the script and b...

The game gives double power from derricks to all AIs on Insane difficulty, and reduced power on Easy difficulty. That's the only cheat present and specific AIs cannot opt out of it. When you click Insane, you get what you ask for. Previously Insane had no effect at all compared to Hard, on any of th...

Five years? %$#@. I'm old :( A short tl;dr of the previous thread. Changing miss radius depending on various values is realistic and attractive, but bad for gameplay and screws up multiplayer balance. Such values may be accuracy upgrades or distances. Let's suppose we're within current game rules ra...

A little bit off-topic: How is accuracy working actually? I found a thread with a discussion what system should be used to calculate accuracy. But in the end, if I understand it right, accuracy is set to 100% except for the long range. For this range, a value is set in the weapons.js file in stats....

I made first tests with alpha 06 and due to their horrible accuracy, I found the Mini-Rocket Pod totally useless. I placed an inexperienced Mini-Rocket Pod near to a Repair Facility and let it shoot at a Scorpion body tank. I could have made a cup of coffee in the time it lasts. In campaign most of...

Even if you give away the Bug body from the start, i doubt it will be useful. In order to make stuff balanced, massive stat changes are necessary. And, at the same time, they are also sufficient, if there is enough of them. While rebalancing weapons to avoid spamming anti-tank rockets throughout the...

Currently the Warzone 2100 Project is not a commercial organization; it is merely a fact of collaboration of a few independent people over the internet. They don't make profits, and if they were given money, they don't have a procedure to distribute money among developers. The aforementioned donatio...

All these ideas you have can be accomplished by tweaking stats. There's no need to break the plot. Eg., buff cyborgs against rockets - the player realizes that lancers are cool, and then bah, a swarm of cyborgs shows up, i believe that pretty much was the intended plot, but they didn't have time to ...

Dunno what you mean by endpoints (events?), but almost everything you need to know is in the official API documentation . In my opinion, the best way to teach yourself how things work is to try to write a very simple AI that does almost nothing. Eg., just selects a truck, builds a factory, produces ...

Weird. Could you attach a crash dump? Still, see if deleting (or moving away) mods and maps helps.

Please to not post what you do not know for sure! This is known for sure. Even though the author is posting in the wrong thread, which means that he probably didn't notice the NullBot3 work, it's quite obvious that i didn't work on this for years, and i keep saying that my current life circumstance...

Looks like a broken mod, are you using mods?

I don't think we should bump it to 1024x768 because a lot of netbooks with 1024x600 screens were around just a few years ago.

In 3.1, as well as in 2.3, as well as in all previous versions i remember, there were tons of campaign bugs reported, but i've personally never managed to reproduce them through dozens of campaign playthroughs. Even that bug in mission 2, as far as i remember, needs some pre-conditions to reproduce,...
