Feasibility study

<< < (2/2)

Nokim:
UFO mission without dogfight... Aren't they already here? I have good map coverage and sometimes ground mission appears without UFO detected in air (landed UFO). By the way it's very strange because according to UFOpedia Scouts anf Fighters can't land - they even don't have landing equipment.

H-Hour:
Yes, but it is hardcoded to only work with specific mission types and specific UFOs.

The only way you could get the humans to only use human weapons would be to create a separate "race" for each human which is designated to only carry one weapon type (similar to how the bloodspider only has the bloodspider weapon).

Right! This is the sort of advice I am looking for! It will be easy to create several "races" of identical looking terrorist/insurgent/cultist with a different weapon. Every one of them will generate the same UFOapedia entry when killed and dissected.

I have no idea what are you talking about. Translate in plain non-geek english, please.


--- Quote from: H-Hour on September 29, 2012, 09:15:00 pm ---Because we are an open source game, anything is possible. Several of these ideas will require you modify the source code, something that you are freely able to do if you know how to write C/C++ code.

Well, learning a little C++ won't hurt me, I hope. I already know the basics of programming (writing code for automated assembly lines is not easy).

I am almost finished with my first map, I am going to post it in mapping later. Thanks for your support!
