Actually the new AI would only be for the Flood, not the other AI in the game. Their AI will remain the same, mostly.

u sure you want the ai (excluding the flood atm) to be the same? They're all stupid. D;

You're a weak infected flood form rather than a superhuman. You sure you want all your enemies to be much smarter?

agreed with gamma... its all ready hard enough to beat seintels

hellz yeah. It adds spice. :P nah, at least make the AI throw nades. But not too frequently. Since flood attack in packs. But they are effective, enough to make the player at least think before charging into their target. :P

Then you'll find it even more difficult in the more latest versions where there's more sentinels. (but there is more allies too).



Well, I was thinking about adding grenades to StKft, but when I thought about it for a while, I decided against it. In the more recent versions I have included Fuel Rod grunts and more Hunters. Which, obviously has shortened the life-span of the player and his allies. But I feel it kinda reinforces the point that the Flood are the Flood, and that they can continue to throw troops at the enemy until the crumble under their numeric superiority. However, I may add grenades for some enemies, as it's needed to increase the carnage factor.

Just how easy is it for you to die as a flood?

Are you guys going to include humans like I had suggested before?

Yes, maybe not in the area you described, but in the level, most likely.



In the alpha, it was easy-ish, in later versions there'll be some fine-tuning to the biped so it's a bit easier to die, but the player speed will be increased to match the speed of the Elite Combat Forms.

Hullo guys. Long time no see?

ZOMG TEH PROGRESS

Ninja edit: Ignore the second part of the convo

THE ELITE FLOODIE HAS NO PANTS

I'm working on the sounds right now as we speak. Going to make some custom flood sounds next. (the high pitch the flood make)

I can't download the beta. Filefront said that its not avitable for download. Could you upload it at uh megaupload just in case Lone?

That beta's extremely old. Wait for the new version.

crap i forgot about this.... i should probably start on that B40 part (which i will not speak about ;)

Ok.

So.. as a percentage the progress is?

Patience. All things come to those who wait.

Do you need anything done? I am kind of giving up on my custom level cuz no one can do portals apparently, not to mention I bet I am missing half of my files after wiping hd 4 times.. :/

okay that was completely random but i found it kind of funny. leave dark if you're gonna troll

[08:10] Lone Warrior:

[08:10] Lone Warrior: Thinking about making the one on the far right the player model
[08:10] Gamma927: z0mg he r haz pants
[08:10] Lone Warrior: Not sure though
[08:10] Gamma927: ofc the player deserves pants
[08:10] Lone Warrior: mmhmm
Edited by Gamma927 on Jun 9, 2010 at 09:57 AM

The far right one has more armour, so would explain the shielding better.

they should all be in the same gbx model, as different permutations... Saves tagspace when u need to make the actor variants, bipeds etc... also add the foot/boots to them.. Look a bit to bland for the flood. lulz. :p
also lets the player be any permutation they want. (well developers choice, but not as limited)
because we can change the player's permutation without doing any tagging at all. Its all with 1 command. :)

This sounds fun. But what in the hell made you choose to play as a flood? Either way this sounds fun to me, and sorry for the bump but can we some footage or screenshots of the map please?

Well, look at that, I appear to be in the credits. Suck on that, community. I provided inspiration.

Wow, this place hasn't had any news in a while, but, as I said, even if progress isn't shown, it is made!

And here we have today, the progress we have made so far.

v0.1b release.

Well, what is it exactly?

0.1b(release) is the first beta release of the Flood Campaign, it includes the level Stop the Key from Turning fully populated with several of our tags, along with some community tags.
0.1b has been in the making for a long time, and I decided to pick it back up about 2-3 weeks ago, and with dedicated help from our Interal Alpha testing team, and Koo294, this mod would not be standing here before you today.
So, I proudly present to you the first beta of the Flood Campaign, it may have some residual bugs from our intensive testing period, however, the beta has been designed that almost all bugs we found have been eliminated.
If you find any more bugs, please refrain from whinging about them, and post them in our topic or on our Moddb page instead. This is a beta after-all, and whinging about bugs doesn't really help the team.

So, I'm going to show you some pics of what the level is like while we wait for moddb to upload the file, or if you're late to the party, when you're downloading the file.

First is out Armored Combat Elite Form in action, and yes, they do come in other coloured variations.



Secondly, our Human Armored Variation, instead of different colours, the Armored variant has permutations which randomize between 3 different kinds of armored human form.



Thirdly, we have our Flood Ghosts in action, they may die semi-easily, but even when they're out, do they have a surprise for the Covenant, the biomass that was driving the vehicle, detaches, and crashes down, exploding like a carrier and spewing several infection forms everywhere.



On the topic of Flood Vehicles...



And finally, we have an epic screenshot to finish up with. (Warning: This screenshot contains some visually-altering 3rd party software which allows the game to look better, you will not experience these visuals in-game unless you get the 3rd party software installed.)



Well folks, stay tuned while we upload the map to several different mirrors. We hope to have a Mediafire/Megaupload and Moddb mirror up by tonight.

Good luck, and have fun playing!

- The Flood Campaign Team.

Apparantly I bumped it too early. Whatever.

Update with Download Mirrors.

Mirror#1(Mediafire): http://www.mediafire.com/?pfkzp4p8d8c2amz

Mirror#2(Moddb):http://www.moddb.com/mods/flood-campaign-project/downloads/stkft-v01betademo-release

More mirrors to come shortly.

Also, regarding the beta.

Many of you are probably gonna wonder about the lack of content, well,we decided to make v0.1b to v.1.0 the time where we implement and test tags, as a result, many things in this mod are not final, and others may be added to replace them or improve on them.

Furthermore, please make sure to read the readme and once you are done testing, please provide feedback in this thread.

Hey guys I made custom content. I must be cool right?
Seriously Lone, start ripping no one likes anything you do.
