There is a tool in the scripts dir that will convert a colored bitmap into regions. I forget the name now, but I bugged grel until he made it.

Well I just remembered it's the turning circle that is the problem. After x seconds the bots choose a new destination, performing a straight line collision detection towards the new destination. If it's clear it will start turning towards the destination while thrusting at the same time.

Everyone is having trouble killing the merchants with the "bronze cannon"/L2 bomb upgrade. Any ideas how to keep some sort of bomb upgrade and fix this problem?

It must be a problem with the drone's damage detection system, so I think anyone to answer your question would have to look at that.

You're using the proper radius formula to calculate bomb damage, right?

Yeah I think so "damage = dist * - (i32)maxdamage / radius + maxdamage;", I got that off shanky.com/server faq somewhere. Any ideas how to bypass/sidestep the problem somehow? I don't want to code perfect ship movement as well as perfect weapon movement :/

Just visited the Pirates! zone for the first time and it was great to see ss working this way.
Great work, smong. I already had fun with the few players and the short time I was there.

It only needs some bug fixing and a bit of finishing here and there but then it would be even better then most zones (in its own way ofcourse). biggrin.gif

Keep up the good work! icon_smile.gif

Btw, ask Bjorn (contact him somehow) about such specific AI questions, he already figured most of it out with his AI bot.

And you're properly adjusting the radius for bomb levels? Does it do prox detection?

Yeah it does prox, and the enlarging radius for both splash damage and prox.

The only think I can think of is the player positions are taken from the packets, as in they are not being updated every tick. Still I can't see this having much of an effect since most people's aim isn't perfect and you have the BombExplodeDelay from the prox to help make the bomb explode closer to the target.

Ah, I was wondering about that aswell icon_smile.gif

Yea, I opened the news.txt, it's in the FAQ:
Quote:
Q: Which ship is Spanish?
A: Ships flying a yellow flag are Spanish. French are blue, Dutch use striped flags and English have a red cross.


No worries though, Smong told me he would make a cheatsheet biggrin.gif. I guess that would be a ingame picture that always shows.

Awesome zone.
Just need to keep it a bit more balanced versus the RPG aspects (either that or chambahs abuses FCs tongue.gif) and it's mint.

Death+ and Gameplay have given me a slot on SSCI so I moved the zone there. The points and stuff should still be saved. Also the stats moved to:

It's just SSI-A, apparently. It's not SSC.

One might think that this is pre-colonization.

Or, better yet, pre-Americanization of the Caribbean. The way it is now looks like colonial times.
