Hello Guys,
I have a problem, I hope someone can give me a hint:
WC-Saga is using carriers, were the hangar-bay is through
the length of the entire model, and has two exits this way.
(certainly you remember good old "victory" from WC3).
Fighters should start from the front-hole, and landing should
always take place in the back. To assure this, I make two fighterbay-
subsystem (one in the front, and of course one on the back).
Each bay has at least 4 flight-paths. Path 1-4 in the front,
and path 5-8 in the back.
Though the AI is using the first available, nearest flightpath (at
least as I know), so launching works quite fine in the front, when
the carrier is not moving.
But now my troubles started. When the carrier is moving, some
fighters are launching in the front, some in the back. Sometimes
only one fighter in the back, sometimes two. This is never the same
and cannot be controlled, AI seems to act like she wishes.
The enemy is attacking from behind, but it has nothing to to with the
mission-goal or the enemies. I scripted the launching fighters that
way, that they received the goal "attack" a few seconds after they
launch, there are still a few launch from the back.
Now the reason, why I posted this here and not in the modding
forum is this:
Is it possible to enhance the AI, and of cource FRED, so that it is
possible to select not only the carrier, where a fighterwing should
launch, but also the subsystem where they should launch from ?
But, what happens, when there are only 4 flightpaths at the
subsystm, and their will be fredded 5 fighters to launch at once ?
(to this time, AI is simply using the next fighterbays in the back).
Oh, and that's not my problem, cause I launch only 4 fighters in the
above mentioned situation.
As I heard, it is quite difficult to change FRED-Code, but this could
make things much easier for us. So thanks for checking on it.
Besides that, I have a small problem with the new FS-exes.
When text is being displayed in the briefing, debriefing or the
mission (I'm not sure of the techroom at the moment), then there
is never a ' visible (as in "I'm"). Has this something to do with
the GForce-Fontproblem, cause I'm using a GForce4 TI4200?
Selecting or unselecting the fix problem-field in the launcher has no
effekt.
