AI's plays just as well as you do, give them a Medal!

Post by DraLUSAD »

No really... lets give them a few... maybe even through in a customizable Nik name, a medal case, maybe even allow the Single Player Host to change there current flag too... ooohh

What i really mean is, instead of calling an AI "Green" "Black" Ect, you can add a custom name to It... allowing the AI to gain some medals for its self, Co-op matches, or FFA's, AI's and Human players, all deserve equal rights xD

Yep, making a Nik name would be awesome for an AI, maybe even a one where you team up with, and see if he does better than you... but we all know in the long run they are... but it would be interesting to see what medals they get... and what kind of Awesome Nik name to give them too....

"follow up, here is a little edited pic of the idea, and, the suggested Drop-Down thing, lol"

And if you can point out a mistake in this pic, i will give you a free medal Or a Cookie, on the house :D

I don't like that idea very much, real players would be confused with AIs...

Real players.... confused.... how would you get confused... there is only one of you, and well... so many of the AI's, but the names and there date is stored separately its like when you call for:

"Set Blimp":
DraLUSAD: Help!
jim bob: Bug off

:|

Nought to be confused about, just adds some stuff to make the AI more interesting, rather than a pain, besides it adds alot of cool new features for the AI, and i mean ALOT!

The positions are swapped and so are the teams. Team B is the AI or adversary, and team A is the player. In addition, if you take a look at the map preview at the background, the green player is at player 0 starting position, and the green player is at player 1 starting position - the opposite as it is indicating on the Players Menu.

What do I win? I've found two mistakes! ;)

Anyway, I didn't get what's so great about medals anyway. Especially your pacifier xD
About the names... Well... I don't think it's a great thing. Would get boring real soon.

Well, i just thought about giving an AI an identity, just so you can see how he is doing, if i was pushing coding even further, you could click on your medal case, this would allow you to see a mini statement about your Stats, from "Playing Time" maybe about how many wins, loses, total units built and destroyed, and so forth, but it was a crazy idea just to give an AI some real identity, like you and me, far enough, its Computer controlled, but the AI does as good as what any other player is good at

Oh and the Drop-Down thing, is a mini preview, something i thought of, to change the AI difficulty & playing stance :)

What are these medals exactly? Never understood them.
Full of ideas - Most are probably useless. Feel free to ignore them :)

Changing the name of AIs was possible in 2.0.x series via modding.

Just open warzone.wz with WinRAR (or similar .ZIP extractor) and go to messages/strings/strings.txt

Then find for their AI names (Green, Orange, Grey, Black, Red, Blue, Pink and Cyan)

But later it was hardcoded in 2.1.x and later series, as far as i know :-S
