Media v.95, Creatures Vs. Cars, and Mutants

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 There's two new features in here that I hope will be fun... 1. Creatures will now sometimes turn up in wilderness car combats, generally towards the end when they get the smell of human on foot and/or the waft of blood on the wind. Most creatures will avoid vehicles and try to pick off peds (although the more ferocious ones might attack cars too if they’re being injured by them in particular). The intelligence of the creature is also a factor in determining whether it recognizes an active car versus one that’s not moving or firing* (all creatures, no matter how dumb, recognize active versus dead peds!). 2. Mutants - as discussed in this announcements thread. * You may have noticed for example that zombies in the Halloween arena combats didn't appear to notice that a car was 'dead' and would tear it to shreads regardless. This is because zombies are low-intelligence creatures. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 20, 2009, 8:50 am Last edited Nov 20, 2009, 9:16 am by *sam*

I can't wait to find out! Actually no.. not yet. Thanks for the reminder, this is something I intended to implement when first working on creatures but didn't do. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 20, 2009, 9:17 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Has anyone met any creatures yet during a car-v-car combat? I'd be interested to hear how it went... hopefully they'll add some fun and occasionally some danger, but not be tedious. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 20, 2009, 2:48 pm

4saken The 4saken Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,282 Joined: Jan 1, 2008 Maybe we should up the chances of these encounters until we get some feedback? Quote: Have not seen creatures...but I had an enemy ped seem to do something odd...It looked as if she was attacking my buzzer by hand. The AI has learned some new tricks. I'm sure Sam would be happy to hear some feedback. I have been meaning to make a discussion thread on that. ......................... vet combatL1 wv1,0,0 Posted Nov 21, 2009, 3:19 am

No, they have higher stats and in particular a much better chance of psionics. One thing that maybe *could* train faster is courage? ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 21, 2009, 3:33 pm

*Rezeak* The Dark Knights Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals + Storytellers Posts: 2,377 Joined: Aug 8, 2009 Do mutants deteriorate faster than humans via "blue text" as well as through age? so will it take less battering to get a mutant down from exellent to good?

Well, no, it was rather hard killing them considering I sat on top of a hill, and creatures are harder to hit than cars  Still, it ended after about 10 turns, even thou some of the creatures were still active, another funny thing I saw was the only car with a conscious driver drove of to try and save his knocked out buddies  ......................... vet wv zom gateautumn deathrceL1 elmsautumn pvp1 pvp2 sssc raceL1 e2g combatL1 santa1 pvp3 gwextrav ww circuit32,18,0 Posted Nov 21, 2009, 4:36 pm

Apart from the very large creatures which attack cars, this generally means you just need to get back into your cars to end the event. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 21, 2009, 10:42 pm
