=== How to setup an AI fight for two player-created ships === | |||
Game Version: Alpha13B - Steam | |||
''Note: You'll need your favourite text editor. I use <nowiki>https://notepad-plus-plus.org</nowiki>)'' | |||
''Note: For readabilty in this guide, example save-game text is indented (by 1 tab), but it isn't in original save-game files.'' | |||
TLS = The Last Starship | |||
==== AI Strategy ==== | |||
You can assign an "AI-strategy" to either ship, which determine how they fight: | |||
<code>StrategyVeryCloseOrbit: Broadside orbits within Gatling gun range.</code> | |||
<code>CloseRangeAggressive: Broadside orbits in cannon range just outside of gatling gun range.</code> | |||
<code>MediumRangeOrbit: Broadside orbits within far end of cannon range.</code> | |||
<code>LongRangeSniper: Broadside orbits at railgun range well outside of cannon range.</code> | |||
<code>FastMovingJet: Forward facing strafing Runs, fly's straight at opponent then circles around to do it again.</code> | |||
==== Instructions ==== | |||
* In TLS, create your own ship and export it, or subscribe to a ship on steam workshop. Or alternatively, download a ship from a trusted website. | |||
* TLS stores ships in the ship-folder: "C:\Users\<your-windows-username>\AppData\Local\Introversion\LastStarship\ships" | |||
* Each ship has a ship-file named "<ship-name>.ship", and an image file named "<ship-name>.png". | |||
* Launch TLS, and select Creative Mode -> Create New Ship | |||
* Go back to the main menu (by pressing the escape key) and select "Import Hostile", then select a ship to import. Note the name of the imported ship, which will appear in red at the top right of the screen. We'll refer to this as "ship-1". | |||
* Repeat this process to import a second ship, "ship-2". | |||
* Go back to menu and select: Save Game -> Create New Save, then give it a helpful name (e.g. ship-1 vs ship-2). | |||
* Go back to menu and select: "Abandon Game". | |||
* Open the save-game folder (not the ship-folder): "C:\Users\<your-windows-username>\AppData\Local\Introversion\LastStarship\saves" | |||
* Open the save-game file (.space file) you just created, using your text editor. | |||
* Text search for "NEWSHIP", it should look like this... then delete this whole section including the BEGIN and END. | |||

''Info: occasionally there are other random ships named "NEWSHIP" with a much bigger definition. You can just ignore or delete them.'' | |||

BEGIN ShipAI Layer 2508 Broadside -1 Engaged true Strategy CloseRangeAggressive END | |||
* Save the changes to your savegame (.space) file. | |||
