the moldy crow/the enemies


Ack

Recommended Posts

Hi, i just noticed a thing with the moldy crow...

 

The thing is:

 

I was just coming to the end of the demo where the crow lands and picks ya up. I shoot the two Stormies staring at me, and starts walking forward...

I have just 2 in HP and i get shot by the commando standing in the corner...

The Crow lands above my dead body, and the commando starts walking a little then stops, then walks a little more, then stops etc...

 

My thougts:

 

Since it is very possible for one to die up there, u should try to make the crow as an "allied" object.

So when u try to finish the mission, (if any left) the enemies start shooting at both u and the ship...

 

Is this possible? :)

 

Plus it would look really cool too! :D

A possibility would to make the starfighters behabe like NPC, e.g. assign the Ties to team blue and the Crow to team red, insert them in a transparent level on ceiling of the map and let the starfighters follow each other along some bot routes.

I don't know if this would work, that's just a crazy idea :D

It happens in JKII a couple of times - when you look out the window in the Doomgiver, and when you are fighting the ATSTs in mission 3 or 4, there is a fight above you.

 

We can just dig out those scripts from the assetts pk3s and see how they're done...

Yeah, we do that a lot, I guess... and it's an issue that could have been soved by them releasing the SP SDK. :rolleyes:

 

But we'll keep plugging away at it!!!

 

:D

I may just be mistaken, but didn't Jan call the Mouldy Crow the "Raven" a couple times in DF? Also, whats up with the goofy lookin X-Wing wings (lol) on the new Raven's Claw. I havn't read the books so I may have missed something.

Im positive that Jan never called the Crow "Raven" in jkii she does because thats what it actually was, a completley different ship(The Mouldy Crow was destroyed in jki). Have you actually played DF because thats what the Mouldy Crow looks like in it, it has thoses wings.

Actually, the Moldy Crow was never referred to by name in Dark Forces. At that time, when people asked what it was called, they only called it the "Crow". The "Moldy Crow" was actually a joke name, but they adopted it for JK.

No, Jan never called it the Raven, she called it the Crow. Those "new" X-wings are in fact the correct wings for the Mouldy Crow. It isn't a new Raven's Claw, it's a completely different ship.

Still waiting for the full tool release, so we can see what we can/can't do.

 

However, scripting is available in both SP and MP JA, so scripted dog-fight sequences shouldn't be too much of a problem, regardless of whether we use MP or SP :D
