The constant AI presence would be awesome if it was based on how many people were online at the time
No way to do that though.
Por Que?Too much PC resources?
The missions are built and they have no dynamic interface that allows them to start or enable certain numbers of AI according to arena population, etc. They just run whatever they are built with when a staff member loads and starts them.
I've been in there twice the past few days and no one else has been in there and there's no indication of any AI flying.. Also I can't get the mission thing to work like it says on the AM. What am I doing wrong?
There is no feature to auto load missions. A staff member has to load and start the mission.
The way I am getting around this is to build a very long mission with AI only. I just started to do this yesterday. The players do not have to join this kind of mission. They simply up in free flight to chase down and fight the AI.
The only problem is that a staff member has to restart the mission when it is over to keep AI constantly flying.
I had AI flying all day today but what happened this evening is another staffer wanted to load a different shorter mission once the one that was running finshed. I just a little while ago went in and restarted the long mission.
The arena message mission intructions were for the mission testing we did yesterday.
This is still in it's testing phase and we do not have enough missions built for all our setups and we don't have a schedule yet to keep the AI flying all the time.
Bear with us, we are working on it.
