Title: Old stuff, good stuff - a bless for the AI
Post by: Flaser on May 25, 2004, 01:06:22 pm: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,17067.0.html

What happened to these modifications?

Is there anyway to bring them into the code?

Are some of them worth recoding?

Discuss, and Recommend.

Put these in, these are all really great :)

That's why I inquire on the status of these things.

Post by: Flaser on May 25, 2004, 05:27:21 pm: That's why I mentioned recoding the stuff - or simply put trying to remake the features that are considered worth it.

For one thing I believe the energy output could be one such thing if anyone has the patience/time to balance the whole fleet.

The single quadrant shield would be a Godsend for the AI - it manages its shield very poorly.

Post by: Flipside on May 26, 2004, 01:20:37 pm: I emailed him a while ago, and he did say he intended to come back, he had found out himself that the code broke stuff, so he wasn't annoyed his code was removed, I think he's just a bit too wrapped up in RL atm.

It would be great if this stuff could be re-implemented, but I think it might be better to wait until people are more free and the AI can be given a complete overhaul. But then, that's easy for me to say, I wouldn't have to do it ;)

Post by: Goober5000 on May 26, 2004, 05:08:19 pm: I'd definitely like to add argv's stuff back in... I'd just like to do it gradually, one feature at a time, so we can make sure nothing is broken. Most of his features depend on him returning to HLP to re-code them, though.

Big Guns In Front Flag

Any chance you could start the one by one re-adding with this one? :nod:

if you start do something from there you should do this one.

This would be wonderful for Inferno's Lindos destroyer (used in Starforce with the name Thanatos), as 90% of it's weapons are in the front and face dead forward.
