Re: Heroic 1.1 Mod

Make no mistake, I definitely play defensively. I like managing a single group of guys and taking things slowly one at a time, which of course requires a base to replace them from. The whole thing with the heroes, and the videos I posted for them, was just to demonstrate how insanely overpowered the...

Re: Heroic 1.1 Mod

I also experimented with allowing Mortar Men & Shrap to target not just buildings but units as well, yet when they got attacked, instead of retaliating by shooting back (like DR2 Artillery Units), they just... walked up to the attackers X-( . So I again only allowed them to attack buildings. Ye...

REVIEW: Heroic Mod v1.1

Personally, I've never been a fan of the "reworking / improving the original content" style of mods. Army Men RTS is no exception, but I went ahead and gave this a try if nothing else than for the advertised improved difficulty. This review is going to be mostly negative, due in no small p...

Re: About Minimaps

The Studio should be auto generating a terrain.tga file whenever you save a map. The auto mini-map will render the terrain and the textures painted on it, as well as vaguely the geography of the map which can be seen by the ambient shadows cast by inclines. Everything else, such as the terrain color...

Re: Important Questions

Of course, assigning mines to base orderers like towers will make them be rebuilt when destroyed. It's just that getting a specific tower or mine into a specific single spot on the map is unfeasible. Especially given that when the building is lost and must be remade, the AI will prefer not to reuse ...

Re: Important Questions

You can try to use trial and error to get an AI player to build in a general location you want by tweaking the placement rule's desired angle and distance values. However you cannot force a computer to build in a specific cell. You can give an orderer of mines to an AI in the same manner you give it...

Re: Heroic 1.1 Mod

Game crashes just after completition GB mission Garden Siege: Special Operation mission Sandy Breach, after getting all bonuses: Just want to say that while playing through the mod on my own, neither of these two instances resulted in a crash. When reporting a crash, make sure you include the actua...

REVIEW: On The Ground 3

U_lpKm17szA I've played this map on stream and a little bit off stream and I'll leave my thoughts here. Hopefully this helps. I'll split my individual thoughts into four concepts, and give an overall final thoughts. Concept / Idea Who are these Captains? Why are they here? Why have they betrayed th...

Re: Heroic 1.1 Mod

Of course, english.dat can be edited very carefully with something like a HEX editor. I always have recommended against this however, since it can be dynamically changed say by multiple authors who want their own language keys. And also it of course only supports English. But seeing as this is a sor...

UPDATE 01/22/2024 - Maxrush AI's

Hello. On stream last week , I spent a little bit of time writing a very simple Maxrush AI that would spam grunts as hard as it could. Over the weekend, I refined it a little bit more and improved its code as well as expanded it to include several different versions which each use a different specif...
