the cargo truck died last before the game failed.

Cargo Truck? An empty cargo truck or a loaded wreckage truck?

evecolonycamander · « **Reply #51 on:** July 09, 2010, 08:55:31 PM »

it had rare ore in it. it was owned by the enemy. it was just sitting there. oh yea... Eden needs a rare ore smelter and mabie a SF. im going to start working on that third colony. so you have to move the light tower in the south east corner

Flashy · « **Reply #52 on:** July 10, 2010, 05:33:00 AM »

Did you... research starship parts?

evecolonycamander · « **Reply #53 on:** July 10, 2010, 01:38:29 PM »

no need. it gives you the ability to build it as soon as you load the wreckage.
huh... did i launch that??? no, that was the Edward satellite. but i think i launched it during the battle

Flashy · « **Reply #54 on:** July 17, 2010, 11:55:19 AM »

Didn't work on it for a while...
However, I finished the AI vs. AI battle. Don't forget that the remaining forces will attack the player unless you're playing on easy.

I just wanted to finish this before i go on holiday on sunday for 2-3 weeks

evecolonycamander · « **Reply #55 on:** July 17, 2010, 10:45:02 PM »

so, they trough weakened units at you? nice. easy pickings

Hidiot · « **Reply #56 on:** July 19, 2010, 09:05:19 AM »

They fight each other and the remnants attack you? And the logic is... where?

evecolonycamander · « **Reply #57 on:** July 19, 2010, 03:10:07 PM »

it is only in lops brain. with lops permitting i will forward the e-mail to you that contains the game info. then mabie i can find the logic myself with your help.

Angellus Mortis · « **Reply #58 on:** July 26, 2010, 08:44:26 AM »

Okay now I have played it. Here are my thoughts:

The AI fight its actually interesting
The Plymouth base is too hard to get into
The Eden AI is too easy too kill
All the buildings are not recorded
The Plymouth AI looks too fake. The units need to patrol or something
You need to display a message when you get the weackage objectives that can jump to the location
Easy, is... well WAY to easy, drop the steady morale
DISASTERS

The objectives are done quite good though. I was wondering if I could get you code to see how you did it. I got some ideas. I could give you some help on the disasters. My scripts are good for disasters (:

Flashy · « **Reply #59 on:** July 27, 2010, 10:42:13 AM »

The plymouth buildings are recorded and the AI is just a basic AI and it will be improved later.

Disasters will maybe added later, lop didn't even list them in the to do list

Oh and eden will get a rare ore and research base later.(Fear the thors hammer!)

Sadly i can't work on it at the moment.

Angellus Mortis · « **Reply #60 on:** July 27, 2010, 11:33:49 AM »

How about that code though Flashy? I want to see how you did the scanning. I need to improve mine.

Flashy · « **Reply #61 on:** July 27, 2010, 06:56:57 PM »

look for the Main.zip a few posts ago

EDIT: When im at home i'll fix the delayed unit building issue, the AI vs AI battle is supposed to start MUCH more often.

damn that urber-quake

well flashy uhh... add a rare ore and another VF some thors should be kicked out at about m750. and at the last 6 wreckage locations there should be about 4-7 Plymouth or/and Eden units guarding the locations. also there should be some random lynx patrols(randomize the x/y destinations) at about m200-m400. another idea is to have the colony game start off just like a land rush. all of your colonists and buildings are packed up and you move out of Plymouth to a predestined location(CC must be built in a certain aria. your enemy's are to easy to kill; you just have to get 2-3 microwaves past there picket lines to kick there asses

and another thing LORD OF PAIN PLEASE SHOW UP LITTLE MORE OFTEN. i never did like playing tag with some one better then i

oh i found the map with all of the positions of the allie Eve colony and the dead Eden colony. ill upload it when i can get on that laptop again wile i have an internet connection

oh and another thing REQUESTING ALL OUTCASTERS RELATED TOPICS MOVED TO THE OTHER PROJECTS FORUM

Angellus Mortis · « **Reply #63 on:** August 01, 2010, 05:07:55 PM »

The uber-quake is not a normal disaster. It is by no means random.

evecolonycamander · « **Reply #64 on:** August 01, 2010, 05:13:58 PM »

oh i know that... its just that is the best representation and the most noteworthy i could find for your skills

Angellus Mortis · « **Reply #65 on:** August 01, 2010, 06:11:27 PM »

I can do a lot better. Once I slaughter StarCarft II, I will be returning to rewriting my colony and it should be done by September.

evecolonycamander · « **Reply #66 on:** August 01, 2010, 06:52:13 PM »

i know
another idea is to add a couple of decoy light towers.
ill give you the password if you need it(i never bothered to check if flashy removed it)
i only need lord of pain's permission first.

Flashy · « **Reply #67 on:** August 07, 2010, 04:05:30 PM »

the mission now plays the correct video

Zardox Xheonov · « **Reply #68 on:** August 11, 2010, 08:05:07 PM »

hey flashy don't forget sourcecode incase i want to add new items

and try not to use a password this time, thanks

I don't recommend adding new code to the file yet since hidiot still wants to choose a better player base layout. etc

Zardox Xheonov · « **Reply #70 on:** August 15, 2010, 07:04:50 AM »

Edit: this is the current version of outcasters starship colony game FTW!

although it will be changed again soon... enjoy

Stop waiting on me for anything, I only do OP2 stuff in my spare time, which has lately been very limited. In fact, college starting in about two weeks implies me having no idea when I can do more Outpost 2 programming.

evecolonycamander · « **Reply #73 on:** August 20, 2010, 07:43:37 AM »

heh, heh, hee
what we have done to the colony game...
edens missle

I did also just suddenly loose outcasters. It was medium difficulty and I had already salvaged the second wreckage. Mark may have been around 1500, but I don't know [/color]
