Now get back to diamondgeezer's thread before he yells a big that his thread was hijacked.

The correct exaggeration would be "The AI-Targetting is so crappy, if it fell over, it'd miss the floor".

Phreak mate, you rule all. I owe you a bottomless mug of new Duff Extra-Cold.

Woulda been nice if it could be sexp controlled.

2 sexps:

AI-use-dumbfire - Obvious

AI-dumbfire-accuracy - Lets you edit the hit/miss ratio, so if it's a bombing run, they won't get you all the time.

(yes I did post this in the harpoon/tornado thread)

Dude - FFS, if you don't want the AI to use the damn things, DON'T GIVE THEM ANY. Christ, it's not difficult. I wanted this feature so that I could give my wingmen rockets, not so that I could have my AI enemies raping the player with Tempests. And how many times do I have to say this - if they're shooting you with dumbfires, just GET OUT OF THE ****ING WAY. What is the problem here?

It will be very nice indeed to be able to load the wingmen with tempests and see them actually be used.

notes:

the AI will now only use dumbfires against asteroids. no more wasting harpoons on the things.
the AI will "hold down the trigger" if the refire rate is less than 1/2 second. otherwise it will revert to the old method.

now to fix the ai capship turret problems with asteroids and swarmers.

I'm having an interesting little buglet on the new Build

These are shots taken from the tech database.....

It appears to me that the renderer is skipping LOD0? I've checked my details settings, and they are all 100%, so I was wondering if anyone had the same problem before wondering about my card

You have to type them in, else they seem to return you here

That's a new trick for Freewebs!

diamondgeezer · **Reply #31 on:** August 03, 2003, 10:11:18 pm

It looks like it's displaying lower LODs in the tech room. Which is odd. S'not doing it in mine...

Flipside · **Reply #32 on:** August 03, 2003, 10:34:27 pm

Yep, I've checked the detail options, and they seem to be fine, are you using the recently updated version from Phreak's siggy?

diamondgeezer · **Reply #33 on:** August 04, 2003, 02:49:22 am

Yeah, the one he made with dumbfire-using AI

Flipside · **Reply #34 on:** August 04, 2003, 06:54:48 am

Well, I've tried absolutely everything I can thnk of and I think it's some sort of bug with something! LOL
I'm going to have to go back to the previous build for now

Hmmmmmmm... very odd, een the old version is doing it now. I'm going to try to remove all user mods from the directories tonight and see how that works. I've checked on the launcher and it is set at computer speed 4, which is correct, and all the detail levels are at full

but I have to run the launcher and re-select all my options every time I run the game!
