Adding ai to DM serris
« on: February 13, 2013, 08:24:40 AM »
I used to host a deathmatch server using the 3 part serris system.

Serris 1 was always a neutral area for repairs and afk etc.

Players would volunteer to use aegian ships to help repair others.

I would have set the server in turkey shoot mode but then we have the problems of teams, which were not needed on my game layout.
As well as the overall stability issues that come with TKY.

An ideal world I would have DM TKY in one, no teams, and serris 1 would have a few ai workerbees and a dry dock or 2 to effect repairs.

I am not a coder full stop, I wanted to know, is it possible for me to drop a script into my bc that will auto load some workerbees and dry docks into serris 1 for the use of all players in the ffa death match mode ?

Is there a simple tool I can get hold of to effect this idea ?
Or perhaps another way I can add ships into DM mode as it is done in TKY.

I look forward to any responses.
My efforts are contributing to bringing the gamespy servers back to life :)

This works fine in quickbattle, whether or not it would work in multiplayer I don't know (I've never scripted MP)

Have a look at this script, it's based on Mission Scripting and it's part of an 'Enterprise Era' mod I was working on!

This will put the ships/stations in - as for the AI, I recommend you have a look at the AI Lessons in the Mission Scripting Folder and see if there's anything there that will help?

SimRex's Mission Scripting for beginners is very helpful and will probably explain things better than my script does! (Though I've added as much commentary as I can into it to be helpful!

Let me know if this works :)
