When I tested the Big Escape level this morning one of the RPG guys climbed right up on the big hill where the player can't get to and shot at me from there! That's just plain cheating!

Yes the AI will run through water now - I'm working on a swimming update to the scripts for them (which we can do now that it is opened up to lua - yey!). More for the soldiers than the zombies


Cheers.

We should make a scripting thread where we collect all these "AI modification" so we must not search through a tons of threads when we sum them up, like Errant AI did it for FPSC. But maybe this is just a wish for a community project

If he can shoot at you, you can shoot back(or did he shout through walls, this would be a bug) Or did you made a meele run This level was never a big challenge, but I will try again now

Great work, love it and some wishes come true
My dream is to develope games, which makes fun when I create it and fun when other people play it.

A few of the characters DID actually animate and attack, but only when I was right in front of them, and then if I got a few inches away, they went back to being frozen like statues."


I've changed the view cone angle and view range, then they work although i would like to have Rocketman fire at a longer range than he is currently.
I have to get quite close to him before he turns around and fires a rocket.

Whoa, the cubemap shader is amazing! Definitely a difference for metallic models! Here's my little test with the default cube texture. I was ready to scrap this model prior to the cube-mapping option, it just didn't look right.

On to exploring AI and third person more

Big thanks to Lee, Preben, and the rest of the GG team!

@geistschatten, wow looks heaps better with the reflection

No luck getting cube maps working myself, my model just looks darker - missing something obvious no doubt - lol

@reliquia, Thanks! I nearly cried at how much of a difference it was to the "cartoony" feel since this was a model converted over from a Unity pack and looked shiny in Unity, like it now does in GG!

Not saying you did this, but I make the noobie mistake of not changing the shader in the FPE to cube_basic.fx entity_cube.fx instead of the standard entity_basic.fx during my first attempt with it.

Also I'm using the _CUBE texture from the Shiny Skull in the scenery folder, haven't had a shot at making my own... yet. I seem to remember something about including an alpha channel?

Lastly, the intensity is also controlled by the surface light, so if you have that at 0, nothing will show up.

@geistschatten. Thanks for the pointers

Yeah have double checked all those things a dozen times but to no avail.

The shiny skull fpe references 'entity_cube.fx' which I think is the new names for the cube map stuff, but have tried them both. Have put all the files in the same folder for my model as well. I must be doing the alpha thing wrong I guess but how I don't know - yet, lol.

But glad you got your model sorted m8

You're right, sorry, I was thinking of the beta shader.

The only other thing I can think of is if you're using a multi-texture? Not sure on the compatibility with that.

When you saved the _cube.dds you did select to save as a cube map right? That's the mistake I made, I created my cube map by editing the stock one then just chose to overwrite it, and in GIMP overwriting doesn't save the cube mapping.

I also have this issue plus lightmapping removes the EBE textures and makes them black again seems to be random, when I close GG and restart they are textured again if I lightmap again its random which EBE loses texture.
The textures seem to swap about with different buildings too if I manually fix them from all being black whatever I change on one EBE site changes on another, I thought each site was independent and you could have 16 textures on each is this not the case have I got it wrong?

quick video changed textures on billboard textures inside house also change

@Belidos, Thank you for mentioning that, I never knew that was an option in GIMP! Now off to make some new cubemaps

Edit: Custom cubemap only showed up a little bit when I turned up the Surface Level to max. Is there a trick for making these show up better on the model like that default Skull one does?

@ Lee
I was testing zombies in my level.
They are quite more agressive now, even thru the water, jumping, up levels, stairs, and son, cool.

Most of then going thru the floor when death, I think this is because the gravityOff when died, (ragdoll and so on).
But they also does when alive, I'm going to post the video here if you want to take a look.



So now the question:

Quote: "In both modes entities automatically avoid obstacles and other entities in their current container when moving about, without a need for a separate collision system. However, dynamic obstacles such as crates should not be added to the AI system, instead use an external collision/physics system to detect collisions with dynamic obstacles and use AI Set Entity Collide. "


Where this LUA command "AI Set Entity Collide" sit? I was looking for, even in global.lua, But I can not find it, maybe it's a future command for next release?

The quoted above sound really nice here.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the tips guys - appreciated.

I am using a single texture.

Yeah haven't got that far yet - lol, just using the one that comes with Game Guru for the shiny Scull.

The name of the model and textures are the same?

model.x
model_CUBE.dds
model_D.dds and so on.

In the FPE point to model_D as the diffuse texture and change entity_basic.fx to entity_cube.fx

Load model_S in paint.net or gimp and add alpha.

This is how i did it with the door and it worked with using the cube map of the scull after adding other pictures to the cube map.

@Earthling45. Thanks for the tips.

Double checked all those things, a dozen times too - still no luck.

I guess it is to do with the _S, but no matter what I do, I still be missing something - lol

I use photoshop, but even if I save the _S as DTX1 with no alpha, and open it in Gymp, gymp thinks it has an alpha channel anyway, and if I save it out using Gymp with settings recommended by Pyrate Myke in this thread I still have no reflection.

Also tried just saving the _S as a png, opened it in gymp, right clicked and added alpha channel and save as dds with above mentioned compression - but no joy.

I get the same results in test game.

Might just try another model but I get the impression that I am just not getting this alpha thing - lol

The _S file needs to have an alpha channel and saved with dxt5 compression if using a .dds file.
.png files I would have to test.

Thanks Pyrate Myke, yeah I am not using png in gg just dds, and dxt5 was the compression I thought would have been correct, and have also tried - but yeah.

Will persevere some more, but may send the files to you later!

EDIT: will shelve this for the time being, spent the whole day trying to get it to work - must be my noobness at adding alpha chanels in photoshop (damn I thought I had that worked out lol)

Thanks for your help all.

Getting some fairly bonkers AI issues myself. I've made a quick map to test them and as soon as it loads up, all I have to do is stand still and wait, a zombie will come running in and run around you in circles, really fast. This can trigger a repeating sound at times. If you hang about dodging them they eventually stop attacking at all and default to idle. They still can warp about and moonwalk, also still hit you from silly distances when they do so.

Here's a link to the map in case anyone wants to test and see if it behaves the same way on their setup.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but the AI now seems worse than ever. The player can walk right up to the characters from behind and push into them and they just stand there. You can fire a weapon close to them and they do nothing. They seem deaf. If you get them to respond, sometimes all you need to do is walk round behind them and they forget you are there. I can't get them to use the stairs. Sometimes they run on the spot or spin around. I've tried uzi soldier and combat soldier. The characters made in the character creator don't work at all. In 3rd person the reticule can aim in the opposite direction to where the player is facing. I like the new close-up combat moves but the rest is seriously disappointing.

I know there are another ways to get what I'm looking for, but that's not the matter here, matter here is waypoint does not work on my level, and I would like to know why, in order to fix it.

About waypoints, I don't get it working. Using last buid now, anaway it does not as well, when using previews build.

I do not use often wp, but my last models/level I'm working on, need wp to move from point A to point B. (easiest way for me )

So, IIRC I should click on create waypoint button on main toolbar, and the wp should appears in some place (would be nice it appearing where I do lmb click), but it does not, I was looking for the wp around all my map with not to avail, in previews version a found it under water.

Even I've tried clicking on edit waypoint mode button, but it doe no make the difference, I can found it.

I've made a video to show you better the issue, now it is uploading to yt, waiting for..... post in realtime...



somebody knows where is my wp?

ok, ok, I'm going to move the house, who knows, maybe..

Nope, nothing there.



And the very odd here is than it works fine in a blank map, so why doesn't in my map?

The floor zone should act as a nave mesh.
you will notice it now has 4 points to drag .
holding shift while mouse on any point will add
another point, i guess this might be so you can make
more shapes like going round corners ect.
well that is what a nav mesh does i ? think it

Navmesh is just a coding technique. The floor zone is simply a set of coordinates defining an area, Lee may have used a navmesh algorithm or he may have come up with something entirely from his own imagination, maybe he'll explain it in a broadcast at some point.

The floor zone nav nesh constrains the AIs that start out placed within that zone to that zone, so you can have AIs that don't move across your entire map if you don't want them to or don't go beyond building boundaries and such like.

You can connect the zones using way point paths too (for tightly defined travel paths between wide open zones), and the zones can be at different heights.


Cheers.

OK. Thanks for the info on Floor Zones. I seem to be having a very different experience of the new AI than some of you. My characters are avoiding stairs and often seem both deaf and blind.

On the MMS level the RPG guys start firing before they have even seen me, the soldiers are all facing away from me (makes them easy to shoot though) and the uzi guys just seem to stand still, makes for an interesting play but I can't really say it's any harder. When I got to the bit with the tunnel going to the right with a couple of RPG guys hiding around the corner they retreated up the hill, ran around behind me and came into the tunnel from the other end! Thing is the player can't climb that darn hill but they can.

@Preben, Thank you for explaining how the shaders work in that other thread. I've had much better success with using my custom cubemap texture now

Editor still jerky, when entity, marker or light attached to mouse, ok on reasonably sized map. If i select grass painting mode, editor speeds up, select marker, light or entity to place, editor is stuttery and slow again.

Empty map - open entities, characters, pick one (stock soldier) and place character.. i have to wait around 5-10 seconds for the map to appear again and show my character to be placed.

PS.. second character goes a lot quicker.. probably the engine starting up when placing the first.. so no biggie here.
