Title: Add AI ships in multiplayer
Post by: vonfrank on November 14, 2008, 05:42:31 PM

What i am trying to be able to do is play a LAN game (Version 1.1 (no KM)) with my friend's laptop but be able to add in AI ships.

As you know, in KM1.0 there is a multiplayer type called Turkey Shoot in which you can select AI ships to appear in on the multiplayer map to fight or fight with you.

The default game with 1.1 does not allow you to add AI ships in Multiplayer matches.
Having 1 on 1 matches gets boring after a while and we wanted to be able to add in AI ships for us to fight together.

Does anyone know how to edit the scripts for Deathmatch to make the host be able to select "PLAYER AND REGION" as well as "AI SHIPS" ?

Hmm. I recall making maps a long time ago that were Multiplayer compatible with static AI ships.. Maybe a start?

but is there some way to add the "add ships" feature to a 1.1 version of BC?

No, that feature is only available in KM 1.0's turkey shoot mode. It uses the "Add Ships" mod that is not present in the 1.1 game.

It should be possible to add Turkey Shoot to a 1.1 game.

Then there is probably something wrong. A scripter has to look into this.
