Hi pilots .
I just decided to work in a mod of VS , to help me to focus in the Economical/Political
gameplay of Vegastrike . ( and also to concentrate my ideas/posts somewhere , to not
disturb the general mood ( good nickname also ) of the forums .
Okay , what is planned ?
_ Have a working VC9 solution for windows 32 bits with the last svn head .
DONE !
_ Rethink the global distribution of units , taking care of their homelands :
( i updated the wiki with a title CHANGES to help for the navigation :
http://wiki.vega-strike.org/Development ... #CHANGES_:
_ Make real NPC ( with persistent characters ? )One of the major changes to the game is in the dynamic generation of the universe. That relates to the population distribution. At present, it is all random. To facilitate the dynamic economy being usable each faction needs a homeworld. Populations than diminish as you go outward from them. Another change to the universe populating process needs to look at the number of habitable planets in a system, asteroids and nebulae to determine population and what base types there are.
( i created a wiki page to expose the idea :http://wiki.vega-strike.org/NPC )
I 'm working in the integration of aiml agents : http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=19525
_ Political context : You choose a faction , each of them have different political views
( conquish , trade , etc ... ) . Old concept , the FAI :http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11612
The factions needs credits to achieve their goals :
that's where the economic system rules .
The first faction that reaches X credits win the campaign !
_Economical system : http://wiki.vega-strike.org/Supply_and_Demand_Dynamics
I will not invent the wheel , but try to build one .
The wiki is a very cool mine of ideas , i will also try to use some ideas/requests from the wish list (http://wiki.vega-strike.org/FAQ:Feature ... ussions...) , to make a cool addon/mod .
I know Ogre3D a bit (http://youtu.be/tmkT7w0T5Rk) , and so
will try also to work in the 3d engine port .
edit : a good start -> http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewto ... 65#p135465
