Thanks!Gorium wrote:Amazing results in game so far....
Does this mod create more Xenon and Khaak random spawns in sectors? I seem to have a lot more in this new game than I had last game.
Nice seeing all the Rearguard in action though, good work.
Added a bunch more options to the menu and reorganised it a bit. You can now directly control the Rearguard token settings in the advanced options. If you dare play with it, please let me know what the effect is, especially if you find a better set of values than the default for some scenario. AI updates: patrolling ships will restock even more often; M8/M7M will restock as soon as they've shot their wad; carriers will restock with fighters (using Rearguard tokens) when restocking at their homebase; ships will be equipped with Jumpdrive when restocking at homebase; Jumpdrive will be used, with ships refuelling first if possible/preferable; carrier management is much much better... ... plus a gazillion other bugfixes and AI upgrades. Inparticular, there was a bug in the assignment of ships to threats, so responses should now be more proportional sooner.
I noticed this as well... But if you look at the name it doesn't have the word 'Rearguard' in, which means this plugin didn't spawn it, GOD did. I.e. in the vanilla game there are some military ships that are of another origin. Strange, but I think adds a bit of spice. Another wierd one I saw yesterday was a 'Argon Military Colossus Hauler' spoken fully by Betty as well, very strange.spacefueladdict wrote:Hi mate, Excellent script, and really enjoying using it.
Noticed though that races are using other races ships. e.g. split millitary base in ginns escape had several ships that were of boron and argon origin under split control, would it be possible to alter this so that they only use there own ships? or create an option where they can call reserves in from allied races? eg argon/boron, split/teladi?
Hmm, that is strange... The default values are 200 max, 100 regen amount, 7200 regen time, 7200 patrol time. I think that's all of them.Alkeena wrote:In the config menu it lists all the token related values as being 'null.' I presently have Improved Races disabled via the plugin manager if that's where it was supposed to draw the values from...What should I enter as reasonable values instead of just leaving them null?
Oh wow, it just dawned on me what you meant--are you actually putting together reasonable carrier group AI? That would be absolutely amazing if so!ThisIsHarsh wrote:
I've actually nearly completed a major update to this plugin, with massively enhanced response AI and carrier management, as well as the option for Xenon Military Bases (which will invade and wipe out everything in sectors moving radially outward from Xenon sectors) and an option to enable sector invasions (which by default just involves races 'cleaning' Xenon sectors, unless another 3rd party script modifies notoriety settings to make other races enemy to each other).
Invasion mode allows Recon ships to signal invasions of enemy sectors. In vanilla the only enemy is the Xenon - oh and Terran, though they don't seem to do as much invading. If you use a sector takeover script and are an enemy to a race... watch out. Hopefully someone will release a plugin that allows players to tune race/race notoriety settings - I would do it, but I don't have much time these days. Xenon Military Bases can be enabled via an AL plugin. The Xenon will aggressively defend their territory and attempt lay waste to surrounding sectors. Xenon can use Rearguard tokens, which can be set to a multiple of the other races in order to increase/decrease difficulty - the default is x2.Code: Select all
x.sig.killed.scout@Xenon Relay N[XM5YN-28](Scale Plate Green) of Xenon Sector 347 index=-1: scout dead, killed by null, spawning replacement Xenon Relay N
scout.callbase@Xenon Relay N[XM5VL-79](Scale Plate Green): no nearby military base
Ya, im running/useing litcube's flatmap. I have a little bit of time that ill try a few things while i make coffee and try to wake up.ThisIsHarsh wrote:
EDIT: @Thrandisher - I take it you enabled the AL plugin and it started doing this? From the looks of the log it seems as if no Xenon Military Bases were spawned for some reason, which is obviously a case I hadn't considered in the spawning of the Relay ships. Are you running a mod that changes the galaxy map?
Better support for uninstall. Ships respawned during/after uninstall will immediately dismantle at nearest shipyard. Also, Recon requests to Military Bases will not be serviced (hence no notification) during/after uninstall. Fixed bug causing progressive slowdown of game (wing task was being started again and again on progressively higher task ids). Added checks to make sure Xenon Relay scouts don't respawn if there are no Xenon Military Bases available.
