Title: Customize Strengths of Aliens
Post by: shevegen on November 29, 2011, 10:31:40 am

Hi,

It would be kinda neat to be able to customize aliens.

Not so much the looks of aliens, but why not that too (provide some .gif or .jpg or .png or what not, or if it has to be a 3D model, that could be used too).

Also customize the values of the aliens, and a pre-set of behaviour (sneaky ... aggressive... cautious... swam-mode)

The idea is that a player could customize heavily before starting to play an Alien Invasion game.

You can replace the texture or the model of the alien for yourself (however changing the model isn't easy, it needs several animations to work nicely).

Edit: their stats are scripted too IIRC, look for character templates.

I think it's MODding already and we (the Team) cannot help you more.

Stats can be changed via the script files (http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/UFO-Scripts). But behaviours can't. The game only has one possible AI at the moment.

If someone would finish the LUA AI, it could be scripted too.... :)
