Re: Formations.txt
 

Is there any way to choose which ships will be in each place? I've tried different things but it just doesn't seem to follow any pattern.

I think I'll drag this thread back to the top. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

So, does anybody have any formations that they'd like to be added to this file?

Edit:
Hmm, guess I had better put a link to my file in here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Formations.txt

Re: Formations.txt
 

I was try to modify the formations.txt file but the game kept giving me the "can't load file" error. It's driving me mad! Anybody got a solution? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

My faulty formations.txt

Edit: Forgot to mention, I was trying to add a formation called castle.

Number of positions := 21

Changing it back to 35 doesn't help... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

We could use an "Ultimate Formation Collection". Fixes any AI formation problems, and provides advanced formations for new players.

Finally got it fixed yeah! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I did some more simulator tests and I still think having all ships break formation and do their own jobs is a better way to go, especially since the AI loves to zig zag and doesn't know how to slow down for the people behind to catch up.

Re: Formations.txt
 

Okay, I'm now starting the Ultimate Strategies Mod (or some such other nonsense). So far, it will include Formations.txt and Default_AI_Strategies.txt. I think I'll make a new thread for requests/submissions. I'm going to host it along with the Image Mod on my server. SJ, can you do this to, once I get the files in order?

Re: Formations.txt
 

yeah :-)
and
Position 3 Xpos :=
and
i think 30 is maximum
