Yeah I was talking more meta-game than actual programming.

SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN HELL YEAH

SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN HELL YEAH

I think that he means a multiplayer scenario, where the Non Player Characters are 'played' by other players.  Not really single player, and no AI would be involved.  Am I right?   Like you had a Dungeon Master, but he used other ppl to play the monsters and such.

 Sorry to disappoint, but, unfortunately, there would be no single player in MWLL. It's not planned to be implemented at any point in the future and even it's theoretical possibility is rather questinoable. Not only such project would require enormously more efforts, compared to multiplayer, but it would also present the dev team with a lot of new technical difficulties(like crysis/crysis wars AI being unable to control mechs at all) that would be a serious obstacles on their own.

multiplayer campaign mode against player controlled NPCs.

Good Luck with that.

And why not?

The technical constraints in getting an AI to work with a character entity we created from scratch and MacGuyver'd to work just barely enough to be functional by players as well as the near impossibility of getting flowgraphs to work properly in crysis multiplayer is what defines my statement, as if we haven't thought about this before with a solid understanding of the underlying technical framework before us.

For a singleplayer mod, there may be the slight possibility of success. For Multiplayer, neigh impossible.
More power to those who try, but like I said, Good luck with that.

There is no AI. The NPC team is controlled by players filling the "extra" roles. They follow a strict script, use predetermined assets, and take real time instruction to ensure the battle continues as planned. The PC team has mission objectives, reacts to scripted changes in the mission, and has actual freedom to complete their objectives. After a few more goes we will have a video up for the community to watch. It should be fairly epic.

 I'd be very glad you guys would succeed. Any progress so far?

[aTolyK]

sadly I sux at sandbox so I'm doing the design.
finished on paper. now need to make heightmap, shaders (suck at those too  ) and other stuff.
including photoshop topview.

Can we please dramatically raise the stall threshold for the Shiva and Sulla, they can STILL just literally sit in midair floating, while firing. This is so very very retarded/unrealistic.

MWLL is not fun any more. LRMs are nerfed to the point there is no point playing as a support. It just all got down to laser/AC brawling.
spend 45 mins today in LRM hower on an open map not getting a single rang and earning ~30k for the whole time.

LRMs are nerfed to the point there is no point playing as a support.

Quite a few mech wracks of mine say otherwise.
Try out ATMs if you want something more hard-hitting or even direct-fire support.
Also don't forget that LRMs are not always what's needed in 0.4 TC, so direct comparisons to 0.3 SA are moot.

Will try, tnks. Are any staring vehicles with ATMs?

[xInVicTuSx]

LRMs are fine. Use ATMs instead.
