[3.1] Ultimate Scavenger AI Mod

[NoQ]

v1.05:

• Bugfix: Scavnegers no longer stop producing tanks after hitting control limit (eg. 15 trucks)
  • that's why i like timers ...
• Updated chopper animation by Berg.

It's also raised the bar for CAM 4 Scavs. If I know Goth, he's already going down that road.

This would make the Scavs MUUUUUCH more interesting .. especially on M9 where the player acts as an "observer" between two warring Scavenger factions. I very much want to integrate Cam 4 into this mod as it is already, but problems with getting Cam 4 onto Warzone 3.1 have been holding it back.

That would make for a good prototype cut-scene Machinima. Maybe I can do something with just this Mod using your specific mission map (sans scripts) till CAM 4 is running in v. 3.1

Beyond that, Cam 5 (which I haven't really thought about yet) could be the "Scavenger Wars" mod/campaign idea that was floated around in the NEWST days. I'm thinking some hybrid of this and NTW.

Tons of possibilities.

Scavs Wars... Yes. Drawing from both mods, ditto. And we have lots of material for scenarios already. The whole "factions" component is super rich in that the Pumpkin canon is really just a blank slate.

v1.06:

• Further chopper animation update.
• Rebalance: more towers and less units, remove 2nd minipod from the rocket chopper.

[NoQ]

v1.07:

• Fix: humans no longer produce excavators instead of trucks

[Berg]

New chopper animation more realistic.
Need some one to make a vid of animation if possible thats would be good to post on thread.

[aubergine]

I'll do a vid this evening after work. Maybe a showcase of the scav units?

[Berg]

that would be nice thanks do note they are scavs and they will take everything they can even your base...

I've been thinking more about Cam 5 being Scavenger Wars. Since this is already working on 3.1, I'm going to build some test scripts and a simple-ish (by my standards) map and get a prototype of Cam 5 going over the next couple of days. Since there aren't any data files that I need to mess with to get it all working, this should be an easy process.

Any and all ideas for a Scavenger Wars campaign and (including factions!) can be put forward in the appropriate thread in 'Ideas', once I make it. That way we don't hijack this thread.

The texture is very weird for a transport...

[crass]

why orange?

All the parts will need renaming and it has no connectors

[Goth Zagog-Thou]

I like it. Sorta rusted and abused-looking. Go Scavs!

[NoQ]

Maybe a bit smaller? I can hardly imagine assembling a thing like that in our little VTOL factory.

P.S. We could probably make scavenger people drop from a helicopter, as long as it's a transporter (idea by vexed in another thread)

(:

Again I say there is no limit to what you can imagine...to what can be achieved.
I always have hundreds of ideas floating about and its just getting them in game thats the issue.
Just imagine NoQ for the next adventure create a new mech warrior from a cyborg template and ANI levels movement just turn the key and drive it away.
I think we have to tone the scavs down a bit I saw them attack 4 AI's and take over a couple of bases research centers, oil derricks etc.
By the way just cause I put up a model you dont have to use it I don't mind if others submit models too make it a community mod we doing well so far.
