Code: Select all

This code makes player 0 hostile to player 1 (line 1), and player 1 hostile to player 0 (line 2).
That's it, I'd hoped it'd be something simple, thanks.

Re: Best game to use for research?

So erm, using the tips above to make the game play an AI vs AI match using the default map... it seems the two AIs build their resources and such but never attack each other. I've had a poke around but I'm still a huge noob at this, hopefully the reason is pretty simple?

Re: Playing Aleona's Tales

I played a game and got the gist I think. I'm not understanding the point of the critters the farm makes though?

Playing Aleona's Tales

So I'm planning on using AT for my uni project as I said in some other topic somewhere. But before I start fiddling about with the insides I figured I should actually figure out how to play the game first? Is there a manual or tutorial anywhere? I can't find anything. For reference, I've never playe...

Re: Best game to use for research?

Right, just diving back into this and trying to get serious about it. As suggested I'm going to be trying this and this to get to grips with AI scripting, though honestly I find trying to get into all of this a bit overwhelming. Breaking down my objectives for the very near future: - find a way to r...

Since I've got Aleona's Tales set up I was just going to stick with that, or is there a reason to switch to Wargus? Is it more documented or have more materials to draw from or anything?

Re: Best game to use for research?

As far as I know, it is possible to set up games in which you have no units but don't lose because of that, and you can also set up the different AI players to be hostile to each other. You need to remove this trigger from the SinglePlayerTriggers() function in stratagus.lua: AddTrigger( function()...

Re: Best game to use for research?

Well I've got it running from VS and breakpoints seem to work, though if I just break using the break all function it can't seem to find the source. But this should be workable. Now I need to start looking at what I actually need to work on my project. And I guess I should have done more prior resea...

Re: Best game to use for research?

Tales comes with 32 and 64bit binaries. Do they work? Dinky is our resident VS expert, provided he still lives here. Yeah, it runs fine using the exes, the problem is just with debugging in VS. This is pretty vital, I was hoping to get familiar with the engine and possibly delve into the code rathe...
