[3.1] Ultimate Scavenger AI Mod

[aubergine]

I think one of the major benefits of the JS APIs is that they are not a PITA to update. You can just chip away at them without getting bogged down in code syntax semantics.

[NoQ]

All I can say is that I hope all this AI work is not a sign that NoQ is planing on leaving soon

After all it seems that every time someone makes a cool AI mod they disappear after a while and stop updating it

Look at the two-headed eagle on my avatar. I wonder which of the heads is responsible for playing warzone? (:

Btw, these AIs are many times simplier than DyDo, in sense of lines of code count. Btw, i recently tried to make DyDo playable on 3.1 ... and failed. Too many places where 8 players are hard-coded (without a relevant named constant ...) (JS couldn't have saved from that).

[aubergine]

Assuming we get things like chat, beacons and the ability to transfer power/objects between players, all the features of DyDo should be feasible in JS though, yes?

[NoQ]

I think so. But DyDo did some nice things that i don't want to implement, like using commanders (fun but known to be bad).

LOVING THIS MOD!!!

It would be great if they could try and rebuild lost / damaged bases. Eg. on your "Freezing" 4 player map, there's 4 scav bases. If one gets destroyed they should try and recapture the area and rebuild their base.

Also, after a while, they should focus on getting some more factories and build more rocket bunkers...

This mod has turned a mere annoyance into into a dangerous obstacle that should be removed as fast as possible.
Given too much time the scav AI will take all the oil it can and become a super power.
Looks like fun but as it is a mod its only skirmish so you multi players are safe so far

Grey on the mini map is scavs

I've made a compelling documentary about this new menace that threatens our very existence:

I love it. Especially the "very patient..." bits. I've watched quite a few of your compelling documentaries, I think this has a much more humorous side to it.

Methinks they need a slightly better AI....

[aubergine]

Considering this scav AI has been in development for about 1 day so far, I think it's going quite well. If you don't wall in your derricks they send in the school busses and tractors to take them out!

good documentar
nice

LOL being schooled by the scav army ...run flee

[NoQ]

v0.07: units don't get stuck around the factories, now works on the latest master.

Concept and scale test NoQ

Could that be a future base for the Scavenger equivalent of an MRA or Mortar?

[NoQ]

Scavengers already have MRAs (buggy and jeep). Good idea about mortar though.
Berg: any ideas on a multi-turret scavenger body? (:

upd: There. Probably i could add a MRA or mortar at the back?
