[3.1] Ultimate Scavenger AI Mod

[MIH-XTC]

. I like the scavs and models. Would you mind if I merged this with EB

Hi MIH-XTC I made most of the NEW models and I'm happy for anyone to use them.

Regards Berg

Thanks Berg. The models look good. We still need to implement your force field wall and maybe a new line of marsupial bodies lol. Possum->Wallaby->Kangaroo?

Yep, Berg did most of the stuff. You'd have to scan through the thread to identify other authors for the models (there's Black Project's yellow helicopter and Flail13's excavator and Mysteryem's scavenger tower and maybe other stuff that i don't immediately remember). Or just look at the mod's license and blindly believe that it was fine for all authors to release under this license, which, in turn, is compatible with the base game's GPL2+.

If it's to get integrated into the base game, the best way would probably to turn it into a game setup button (no scavs - scavs - insane scavs), which would require a bit of game-side coding (can't be done with mods).

Ah you're right, it would need to be a game button which is extra work.

Actually this integration didn't take long at all, it's just merging the scav stuff from the stats. I thought it would take a day but it only took 45 minutes. I tested on fishnets.If you use autogame you have to be named "Nexus". Now skirmish games have a lot more action.

If you find errors look at duplicate image names i seem to remember texture clashes with some mods i forget which.

The game has two errors in 3.2.3
Cannot biuld a truck for ai

Also when loading up a skirmish map with scavs, the game minimizes with an error preventing me from scrolling down on the map because windows start menu is opened

Don't remember seeing those bugs. In any case, I have been getting this ready for the next release and added all the changes like the structure limiting change and the thermal armor for buildings and such.

I created a repository for this here. I dug through the posts to find authors and all the changelogs adding anything that I could find (hopefully accurate). Still need a cool readme which is pretty bland right now. Found a copter model from Berg called "chinook" a few pages back which I think could be used as a medic copter to bring units to a repair facility.

I think the scavengers weren't attacking too well so I made some modifications to the helicopter and ground forces attack code so they don't focus on one player too much... maybe they are a bit too ultimate with this one.

Scavs cannot build trucks error

Said something about cannot find crane

I managed to load the map with no issues, but the scavs cant build power now that the trucks don't work.

What version are you using? I still see nothing in the error logs (tested on 3.2.3). Only the 1.17 versions are compatible with 3.2.x (For 3.2.3: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=9182&start=465#p137969).

the above Release Candidate worked for me.

I started a new skirmish game, and I noticed all the above errors are fixed.

Great Job!

Also, in this RC, the scav are still building VTOL even though I turned them off in structures screen .

I will keep playing to see if I notice anything else.
