[3.1] Ultimate Scavenger AI Mod

[NoQ]

The main problem for map makers is that you can't easily predict on what height the building will be. When you put trees on a non-flat ground, they either got digged into the ground or become floating in the air, and rotating the heightmap by 180 degrees can change one of these cases to another.

This happens with current "pipe" and "bridge" features a lot, so it's hard to use them on symmetric maps.

Some original concept sketches contain scav units: https://warzone.atlassian.net/wiki/disp ... t+Sketches

Where are these images taken from?

BTW did you know that you can now go to google search and then drag and drop an image on to the search box - it will upload and google will tell you where it came from, along with listing any similar images on the internet. Works in Google Chrome, and I assume other HTML5 compatible browsers...

Yes this is correct but thats why testing of new maps is a must do.
I was more thinking of a player placing this factory on a map even the AI using it and have it so it auto rotates and will only fit in one position scenario on any map.

Also too i might have placed this on the wrong thread but seems scavs have many options and ideas running about lately...

I'm not sure the bunker entrance will get used in normal games, but in a campaign where it can be pre-placed next to a cliff on a specific map by a script it will be perfect for telling a few key bits of storyline.

Yeah, note that in skirmish challenges if you pre-place scav factories for a regular player, you can also set that player to be controlled via a scavenger AI (just point the challenge .ini file to a file equal to scavfact.js). This allows thing like making scavengers allied with a certain player.

Looks more like the wrecking yard down the road ...nice screeny ...where is the choppers

[aubergine]

I recorded a load of game footage with choppers this evening, will try and make vid at weekend (work busy this week).

Scav traffic jam:

Uhm yeah.
I didn't include complicated things like cluster analysis into scav AI yet, so this sort of things might happen
Even though i try to solve it by spreading the newly produced units all around the factory, this still seems to happen

Scav oil derrick substitute if it can be added test. I'll put animation later?

It has to have derrick animation enabled to realy be a alt derrick.
Just wishful thinking on my part maybe have 2 identical defined derricks which use different models.
Concept only Scale maybe need tweak.

[Giani]

In advanced bases in T1, the scavs can be destroyed very easy whit just some hgms. So i think they need a research facility to improve defences, units and weapons.
