Warzone 2100 Forums

Hello everybody,

is it possible, to mak a new AI for Scavangers? The current Scrips aren't working. I've to low skills with AI Scripting to creat a new Script alone.

Scavengers are actually inactive in 2.3 due to some script loading bugs after the new netcode was merged. It is fixed in trunk, but the fix is a bit dangerous to backport, as it may cause worse bugs.

You mean as Script, or in the SRC?

Oh lordy, I can stop pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I did wrong when I migrated my complex mod, WS 2113, to the latest version and the scav component went into the toilet - if I may be so colorful.

A notable exception to our discussion on complex mod compatibility (Zarel, Per & yours truly) in this recent thread page:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4489&start=45

Guess I can continue by migrating my mod dev to the trunk version...

Hmmm, I'll think about it some but in the meanwhile I'm having a good ol' time working with Flail13's new Map Editor and recreating my 2200 "Marooned" map for 2100... A sign I should perhaps focus on something less complex for a spell.

Cheers, RV

I backported the fix yesterday. I hope I did not break anything else! :-S But scavs are definitely active again in beta10.

Great^^

But can we include all Scavanger Templates, how Firetruck, Rocket Jepp and more?

Good idea, but just too late to make it in beta10, which is already being built.

Wow Per, didn't expect such a lightening resolution. Cool. I can continue working on my LT with the current series (I travel a bit and it's a satisfying pastime away from home during quiet downtime). The trunk with the new terrain engine I have to work with on my Quad/SLI DT which I can't take on my travels. Eventually I know I'll have to switch to Trunk and just work on my DT at home. Anyway I thank you for your timely efforts.

Cheers, RV

where can I find a guide about the scavenger bodies, turrets, structures and so on?

I don't think there is one. Anything in particular you want to know?

No I hoped there was something like the warzone guide where you can see which type of weapon a turret has, the pre-requisites for a research, which structures belongs to scavenger...the reason is that I would like to develop a bit (but really just a bit!) the scavenger AI.

This is good to know. Now I understand why Scavs aren't working in 2.3.x
