Hey,

I was wondering if anyone would do an AI map for some of the DMT maps, as well as ambush. I do not have the connection to play online.. and those maps would be incredible if AI were placed in them.

Thanks,

Mal

Just run the DMT maps using map_name. That enters the map into bot mode.

Arent they all protected?

thanks I will give it a try

but then how do you get the bots to spawn?

What about ambush though? It would be fun to have AIs fight in the helicopter as well as the Humvee's and rebel trucks in the city.

That has no AI built in, and the map is protected.

That was fast...

That's quite unfortunate... what about the RPG Beta 5? The maps creator recently made an unprotected version, if I am not mistaken..

Yes but it would be a big map (size) and would HAVE to be a SP map,
Unless you like the lag?

I don't have the internet connection to play online games so i am a lone wolf in the game, which is why I want AI maps. They did extinction as an AI map and it worked really well, and that was a big map. RPG-B4 was made into an AI map as well. It can be done, but I would assume some objects would need to be taken out so that it does not slowdown the game.

Search under "Mysterion" for several large AI maps such as NoWayOut, Coldsnapwar, Desert_Floodwar. I am currently working on a mod for Hugeass.

Thanks Mysterion, but I already have all of those maps, and they are awesome! That's great that your working on Hugeass right now. It's a good map.

Which RPG-B4 AI version is the best?

Why don't you upload it?

maybe he chooses not to, as it may not be perfect yet?

i shall use a technique that i learnt from my history teacher many years back from now to "guess" the map that DDT_Ghost had made.


statement: DDT_Ghost has made an AI bloodgulch map.

evidence: the quote in the post.

elaboration: by saying that he is not a person who is a "LOL I MODDED BLOODGULCH" person, DDT_Ghost is implying that he has made a bloodgulch AI map, as he used the map bloodgulch as an example, instead of sidewinder, dangercanyon, hangemhigh or any other map that exists in the world as of October 2009 6:15 am. From my contextual knowledge, bloodgulch maps are common and typically shown-off and uploaded by n00bs who have just about no knowledge at map-making, as such we can conclude that DDT_Ghost is a lousy map-maker as he makes bloodgulch mods and tells it to everyone reading this topic.




ok that was just a joke, no offence to DDT_Ghost or any other map-maker out there.
lol

@ Mysterion: I believe the best RPG-B4 AI map was "RPG_BETA_AI_V3.map"

Downloaded it last night for some late night fun...

its funnnn hahha

I live in goulais, ontario. its pretty much all bush, so i have no choice but to use dial up

ok lol.

@ h4x0r: 3G is not compatible in Goulais. Satellite costs $250 to start and its about $100 a month. Its expensive, unfortunately.

i was wondering why everyone's talking about their internet connections in this thread, when it is clearly not about making AI mods......

@ sargejohnson: good point. haha -- is it possible to have an AI map for RPG B5? Vertimad?

most likely, you can, on the condition that the maps aren't protected and that you wouldn't mind some lag (if you compile it as a MP map, that is. For SP....maybe such a problem exists, but since i have never set any map i made so far to be SP, i wouldn't know).

also, the map-makers may have tagspace problems due to both the size of the map and the AI required for such huge maps.

I have used Toolpro to help overcome some tag size issues as with coldsnapwar, as well as some other maps, that would never compile using standard Tool. I should note that Toolstar never seemed to work, and has since been disabled its creator EP3O after some nasty exchanges with someone here at the forum.

@ Mysterion: How much time does it take to add AI's to a map (such as coldsnapwar)?

It hardly takes any time. It depends whether you want the AI to appear intelligent, and responsive. That takes much longer, not to mention the distasteful command lists that 3/4 of all AI map makers absolutely must add in. I say "distasteful", because it robs the AI of the ability to appear intelligent and responsive, but merely act as slaves, forced to follow subroutines that the AI map maker adds in. There are other ways around it, but of course, no one wants to use it, because they're happy with their command lists.

Depends on your skill level. If you want to add AI into a map, here's a basic tutorial that helped me start:
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2136

@ Mysterion: So I take it that it doesn't really take you a lot of time to make an AI map? ..If you had the time, like any spare time... could you possibly create an AI map of vertimad or rpg beta 5? I mean whenever you do have time. I understand if you don't want to.

@ Corrupted Halo: Thanks for the link!

Many things can improve AI intelligence, but, as Gamma said, too many people focus all their attention on Command lists. Move positions, firing positions, scripts, and various other things can all add to the AI intelligence, thus creating a better experience for the player.

MAL027:
I would love to do a mod for rpg beta 5, being such a huge map. I will definitely put it on my list to do. Is it protected? I've never checked. Any ideas on themes? How about rpg beta 6?
Edited by Mysterion on Oct 10, 2009 at 11:27 PM

@ Mysterion: OpsY made an "open" version of the map. It is called "RPG Open 5." I was reading his description of it and I believe that it is unprotected, but I could be wrong because in his description he went all technical and stuff so I got pretty confused, pretty fast. (Lol). As for RPG Beta 6, he has yet to release an unprotected version as far as I am aware of. I will search through the forums later on in the morning just to make sure. What do you mean about ideas on themes? Like where to put the AI's and how would the gameplay be like? Lol

If thats what you mean, There should be AI's in certain main areas of the map, such as the city, the base, some campsite's, the frigate, the campsite on the mountain, and in the mountain (where the map-room construct thing is). In the city, there could be humans (possibly insurgents [rebels]). The base could be insurgent-controlled as well. The campsites could be UNSC (allies). The frigate could be home to Spartans. And in the mountain, there could be sentinels (possible protecting something [[/a secret weapon perhaps??]. Is it possible to have team play (where you can join either side -- like in extinction AI, when you first spawn, you were either allies with the covenant or the humans). With that it could be UNSC versus Insurgents (kind of like the map: island defense). I cannot really see the covenant or the flood being in this map. It doesn't really fit into the map unless you added certain scenery that was covenant-ish... or flood-ish..
