[3.1] Ultimate Scavenger AI Mod

[Berg]

Berg: any ideas on a multi-turret scavenger body? (:

That truck actually has a lot of room left on the back tray for another connector it has a connector on the roof only I can modify it easy to take 2 weapons

It needs testing for scale and looks

@NoQ: Or you could possibly add an AA weapon there.

Like what you're doing so far, here's the scavenger tower from my avatar. It's included in a mod that i kicked together for it back for 3.1beta 4. I've included both the standalone tower, the individual weapon parts and the tower offset slightly and placed over a wall, so it could be used as a corner wall, much like the current towers can.

Have you thought about perhaps using some of the assets from:

I think scavs should get toyota hilux's: http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/killing-a-toyota <-- hope you can view that outside UK, watch all 3 parts, those things are practically impossible to destroy lol.

Perhaps, though I've yet to see one stand up to the armor-piercing rounds found in modern-day machineguns, cannons, or rockets, though chances are that the drivers would've been killed well-before the Toyota itself was totaled.

Scav turtle:

Yeah it does need work but hay its evil ness is pre defined ...
I like that a lot

[aubergine]

Yup. I went in to cheat mode and gave it 100k of power. The porta-cranes went in to overdrive Strange that it leaves oil resources untapped though :s

[NoQ]

Ouch sorry guys, i can't keep up with the pace (in fact i've always been like that, coming to play just from time to time, i just didn't participate in any teamwork yet). I already have some AI improvements coded, just unreleased, and it will take some time to fix some bugs in them

aubergine: here's the report about DORDER_ATTACK problems: #3359.

[aubergine]

Hrm, turtling might be a good approach for scavs. If they rush trucks to capture oil, build scav p.gens only when (derricks > pgen * 4) then spam defences around derricks and randomly across the map, they'd buy time to build a fairly decent attack army and go on the offensive against the player with the most power/units/buildings (in that order)...

[aubergine]

I modified the Scav mod so that it's build timer was running at 10 seconds rather than 80, here's the result:



Scavengers survived for over 30 mins against 3 Nulllbots, in fact, after I'd wiped the first two nullbots off the map the scavs demolished the third one on their own!
