Far cry's unscripted ai behaviour

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

Oh dear lord! Talking about realism in Far cry?

My only point of criticism is that the character moves too slowly. It would be more of a battle-fun if the player could run faster!

LOL

If that is'nt enough you can alter the speed of your character (and the AI) in the editor for a certain level.

yeah the editor is fun me and a friend made multiplayer dogems with humvees and buggys

I think we can give this thread a rejuvination. Now that DOOM3 is out we have the direct comparison.

Luckily I can stick to my opinion. FarCry is much more fun! The graphics in Doom are not as breath-taking as all of you proclaimed. The level design is pretty much the same level after level. Entering hell... well then it seems to change to a certain degree. Too many scripted events and after a certain while one basically knows that something is going to happen. Storyline is artificial and there are ONLY indoor maps. So for all of you complaining about the graphics of FarCry, the AI, the simillarity of maps... and kept poundering us with "doom is gonna be sooo much better" ... what do you have now to defend yourself?

[shadow 6]

How can you compare the two?

Because they are both first person shooters?

Ok i've been playing Far Cry recently , the game is good pretty decent even wth my card i can run it at medium settings and get good FPS , the demo sucked in this perspective it was too slow

Do you mean that valley with the strange satelite-structure

Try the trick... before you enter the valley a gate will close behind you and block the way to ammo, health, and better cover.

Simply push a chair or something else where the gate usually comes down. It will block the way and the gate wont be able to close.

i´ll use this opportunity to promote freestyle-productions.net !

recently they switched their concept from full mod to fun mod so that things may actually be released before we all get grey hair

Yeah i tried that but the chair doesnt hold for long for e.g i stuck it and then went down the hill to mess things up a bit i camer back and saw that the door had eventually managaed to throw the chair out of its path and lock again

in my version it worked fine! Sorry mate!   I managed to kill all enemies just from 8 to 10 metres away from this gate. It MUST be possible to cope with this level. You need rockets rockets rockets and more rockets..

Yeah it might be IF only those big rocket firing pricks stop their volleys of rockets for once

I am employing a new strategy this time i shall snipe those jumping gun toting clowns and then take on the rocket carrying pricks. But i HAVE to say this stage is the most frustrating one in the WHOLE GAME ive been playing it for 2 days now

[Albert Schweitzer 10]

okay.. try this... jump down and run around those big pricks while shooting. They are lame and so wont hit you...

And you need a safegame mod.

Snipe the agile monkey things, but use the shotgun not the rocket launcher on the bigger guys. Aim for the green crystal thing on its chest, not the head. Should only take 2 shots from close range.

Edit:- Reinstalled FarCry last week to get me going for HL2, ahh FC what an amazing game you are, any news on an expansion pack?

Those agile monkey jumping jacks are a big pain in the ass , i killed 3 of them but i cant find more yet there bullets are hitting me from somewhere i cant see , stupid buggers i am beginning to hate this stage now i quit ive been trying to do it for so long now and it isnt getting over.

I wasted quite a time on this last level and i HATE IT NOW HATEEE!!

Those basta*ds are just hiding somewhere i cant see plus my PC isnt that super and when volcanoes come up i get all these black square cloud they obscure my vision too so i cant see good as well , my old card probably doesnt support whatever that is ? That volcano stage was similiar to this too but atleast it didnt have this many pricks in it , here they all seem to gang up on me.

this is not Farcry related, but i didn't wana make another FPS thread since we already have a few others. so anyway if you liked Farcry than you might be interested to know The Cronicles of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay is comming out on PC.

Hurray i finally ended the GAME YAY!!

I beat those fat turds down and doyle too but the end was such a let down , i thought we were gonna get a good cinematic or storyline drive end but nothing even doyle doesnt say much quickly snuffs it.

[gandalf the white 0]

yeah, *pow* , sail off , farcry book ... some ending, even Doom III's ending was better!

FC's unscripted AI was less impressive when you came to the realization that getting that "unscripted AI" to do what you want in your own custom mission requires a pretty big whip.

The editor wasn't as simple and user friendly as the videos implied. There was a lot of setting up of AI profiles etc that seemed like a bleedin pain in the ass to me. I really wished they had made a simple mode for it so that you could get a relatively basic mission with the elements you want in it without a lot of work. Especially in the AI department.

Also the fact that the missions in the single player game could could determine individual LOD settings for entities made it VERY annoying in making my own realism mod. I was constantly getting sniped beyond my visual range for a few snipers at certain points of the game.
