Adding Freighter Random Missions

Tue Apr 29, 2003 10:21 pm by Grey Wolf

I'm going to be working on making random missions (RM). The first RM I'm working on is a secret cargo that needs to make it from the mission's origin to another, randomly generated, station or ship. I know how to mess with most of the files, but I thought that if I post this here maybe someone could work with me to finish it. I think that a lot of people would have tons of fun with it.

The greater the distance between the two places, the more the reward.
Hostilities of opposing factions must be heightened during the journey.

I'll do what I do from here and if anyone out there has some advice (or makes it before me, grrrrr) let me know through the post or e-mail.

So what have you done so far? Can you post the files and tell what's still missing?

With finals coming up this week I have not had the time to work on it a lot. The time I do spend is spent still messing with the *.ini files to see what I can do and what I can not. Once I settle in to my new apt., and buy my new car, oh and get a new job I am sure I will find more time to make the mod more of a reality.

Seriously though, I should be working more on the project after finals. Again, anyone wanting to help is welcomed; I am not sure exactly how big an undertaking this is.

i have ideas for another RMs:

-cargo steal: you have to rob a transport and bring different kinds of cargo back to the base (like hunter-killer robots)

-escort: escort some freighters to one or more destinations

-free prisonner: you have to encounter and destroy prsion ship, tractor the prison pod with a prisoner inside and bring it back to the base

-base defend

write, what you think about this

dont think so..

Beserkirs right, youd prob need to edit the game sourcecode
