Very nice, but wouldn't it be a good idea to replicate real NPC scripts through simulating the Fallout logic on the closest player? Previous work with networking allowed me to simulate physics on the closest client and sync it to the server and the connected clients. When a new player would be closer, the previous syncing player would pass the details over and so forth. This would reduce stress on my server and allowed me to create a sub-network of clients processing various objects.
Would be nice to have identical NPC logic from the core game, though replicating the logic is a possibility.
I agree it would be great to have the replicated single player NPC AI for VaultMP... but no idea how hard that would be.
First rule in multiplayer games: never, ever, trust a client. Never.
What when lamers will find out? They will simply teleport near npcs and manipate their behaviour ruining server for all the players.
This is not a viable option, ai will be server-side.
Arma 2 trust clients.. Biggest fail ever. Cheeeaaaaatttteeeerrssss.Quote:

AI scripts, Very nice :) Downloaded it, and had a look. Might try to use them myself some time. And DayZ standalone, I cannot wait!
I can see where you are coming from, and I can fully understand the trust issues with players.Quote:

Added carter.cpp script, which spawns a Carter NPC who will go and pickup any items in his area.
Hurr durr derp herp. (post deleted)
Could you post compiled versions of these scripts? Thanks.
You got enough time to learn and compile the script yourself in the mean time, AI is not supported in Gary 2.6.Quote:

The script (a modified version of the mutant and some minor other stuff) from this video:

(hacked together, not clean, may be buggy, just as an example)
When I try to build any of these, I get several errors, most notably:
error: 'F3' has not been declared
I extracted these to my cloned git vaultscript folder, then copied and edited makefile, changing all instances of "vaultscript" to "ant"/"carter"/"mutant"
vaultscript does compile normally.
Ubuntu server 64 bit, build-essential, gcc-multilib, and g++-multilib installed.
Several (minor) things have changed (namespace F3 has been dropped because there is no more New Vegas support, ActorValues are predefined, GetName function has been renamed to GetBaseName). I updated the scripts in the first post, they should compile fine now.
Thanks much. I'll have another go at it when I get home.
And success, ant.so, carter.so, and mutant.so built. Will test next time the Windows computer is up.
And server crashes with "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" when an ant is spawned. Should I be running this on a server/client newer than Gary2.8?
No, it should work fine. I just tested it on my linux box and it doesn't crash. Are you using vaultserver or vaultserverd? Can you send me the core dump?
EDIT:
I can confirm it crashes when using vaultserver. vaultserverd works fine. I already know the source of the bug, should be fixed in the next release
Thanks I'll keep that in mind until next release.
