Artificial Intelligence for LORD January 13th, 2002 12:09:22 PM
After wanting to install NPCLord from J. Masters and use that to help spice up my local LORD game, it had the RTE200 error, that most pascal IGMs have, so it was unusable. I patched the app with the TPPatch.exe and everything seemed to be fine. Until I created the Non Player Characters and tried to run the maintenace program for it. A different run time error.
So I tried to contact the authors that were listed in the latest version of the file. No responce. So I took things into my own hands and started to write my own Artificial Intelligence for LORD.
Currently, I'm working on the AI's playing of LORD. Forrest fights (the same way Seth created the fighting), Random forrest events, buy and sell weapons and armour, Master Fighting, healing, banking gold. I think just about everything in the forrest I have completed. But I still have a long way to go.
To Be Done:
- Flirting with Seth/Violet
- Stay at the Inn
- Misc forrest events (merry men, old hag, skills training..)
- use Skills in fights (if available)
That's it for normal LORD playability, then it's off to real player interaction with:
- Ability to Slaughter other players
- Get romantic with other players
- Converse with players at all the different places (Flowsers, Dark Bar Tavern, The Inn...)
- Form alliance with players
After everything is said and done.. this should be one killer LORD app that you can't play without!
Here is a sample log file for AILord.
