MP AI

[archedmaid]

Has any one yet figure out how to have non retarded ai on the MP maps. I started a project that I would like to finish, but I would like to get a working version of earthcity2 I believe, the beach, but with ai for MP. If I can not do that then I will just do my other plan I can post a patch for one of the levels I have if any ones interested. I dont have a computer right now so it might take some time.

AI in general are retarded. I don't think there's much you can do to make them better... I think the best way would be a BSP conversion from SP to MP. The Paths triggers, and events will all match the BSP, and help with this retardedness. (At least I think that applies...) Even though H2 Modding is practically dead, I have been motivated by curiosity to try again at an AI mod.

Rip off my post didnt go through but I have figured most stuff about AI except how to get them to be normal. my other thing is not an AI mod its a set of new semi original game modes.

You can improve the AI by changing the easy difficulty settings to the settings for legendary, but even then they are retarded if there's no zones etc

Yeah I think im just gonna make my new game modes.

Well, you can make simple AI stand in one place and aim for you, and you can have a bunch of flood infection forms chase you (not sure if/how you can change their speed). But I too have always been disappointed at how dumb the AI is. I much prefer an intelligent and cunning rival over a swarm of stupid guys, but that's how it is. For a game that was not intended to be modded, incredible things have been achieved, but not all of them stand the test of gameplay.

If I just do bsp conversions of some campaign maps i will get what i want. The only map I really wanted was earthcity2 I believe thats what its called, the beach level. When I get around to it if it works I believe it would be really awesome. Like the level on the ai revision that is a small part of old mombasa but way better.

Its too bad we cant make elites smarm you like the flood infections do, I was making a mod where the flood spawner spawned elites and infected humans, but it never worked out right, and they wernt aggressive so i gave up on it, it would have made a fun zombie mod. :\
