Warzone 2100 Forums

v1.01:

• Capture oils more aggressively
• Rebalance scavenger weapon and structure stats: don't build structures instantly, make scav lancers stronger, more little changes
• More new designs, including scavenger MRA trucks (see also #3365)
• Attack in bigger groups
• Don't start shooting own units when they are getting damaged due to friendly splash damage (probably i should have left it as a feature?)

A WIP at a more detailed scav excavator:
I can't do textures though.

They are getting to be a power to be watched even though the units have low hp dont let them build up.

PS:just a idea can the scavs have there own oil pumps?

Scavs are working awesome now! They even oil rushed a nullbot!

Yeah, and nullbot stops building things when he sees scavengers at the base, even if they are friendly ... need to do something about it.

Do want!

Just posting some images of the goodness this mod adds...

In the first picture there is a bug... Sometimes they try to go trough walls :/

I still have no idea how to make them break through walls correctly. Neither regular AIs nor scavengers.
I think it should be fixed on the level of unit micro-AI.

They were doing a pretty good job of breaking down walls, hence me having a truck sat behind the wall to constantly repair it and the gun tower. Later that same game, they built some mortar pits close enough to that derrick to destroy it and the truck while I was busy dealing with some nullbots!

BTW, I think the fire trucks should have flamers on rather than cannons It seems somehow more fitting that something that was used to put out fires pre-collapse should be starting fires post-collapse...

how can I play as scavengers?

@crass it's not currently possible to play as scavs, however it seems your not alone in wanting to do this:

Scavs have been getting lots of love recently, with new units and mods, so hopefully we'll see the ability to start the game as scavs in the not too distant future. I would certainly like to play as scavs - their cheap and cheerful units/structures would be great fun to play with. I'd love to be able to place orders for fire trucks, camper vans and mobile cranes at the factory.

Excavator with basic texturing job:

hope you don't mind i just added some texture to your model flail13.
I think might be too many scratches but Well...
The zip has 2 textures a darker one and lighter use what you think best.

You guys are doing a fantastic job with this. NTW had a bunch of Scavenger things that you guys might want to look into adding.

So between this, NTW, Black Project, and Xanax's stuff there's a TON of possibilities here.

And I fully authorize Cam 4 stuff being integrated, if so desired.

Would be cool of one of the artists could do some sort of scav unit montage, like the sort of thing you'd see on the cover of a DVD, to commemorate the scavenger uprising! This mod is just so damn awesome it deserves it's own fanzine. I <3 Scavs
