A few questions regarding CF 1.81 (mods)

There are 14 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by Bond.

    Hi, recently I've installed CF 1.81 and started playing storyline SP, but I really dislike the new advanced AI.


    Can I somehow remove the new AI so I could play with the vanilla FL one, because I find it more fun to play with?


    I also noticed the thread about modifying CF, about how it said you can't change stuff due to an anti-cheat system of sorts. Is there a way around this so I could make personal adjustments for my storyline SP experience?


    Mainly stuff like making the missile ammo count be 500 instead of 50 and making a simple scanner be very powerful. And ofcourse disabling the new AI.



    And one last question: Is it safe to use the Speed mod with CF 1.81? I like to stress that these modifications are strictly for personal SP purpose, I don't intend to play MP.



    Thanks!

    sorry, but i guess a cheat protection workaround is not a good idea to be published.


    for the advanced AI i suggest to look for a better ship and equipment - there is plenty coming together with the mod!


    please do not use the speed mod, as this is considered a cheat and not allowed together with the CF mod.

    But it would work for SP, right? Thats all I need.


    Thanks for the quick reply! :)

    And another one who`s missing out at least 50% of the whole CF experience by playing SP only...

    Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.


    Being a Cynic isn't that bad. Either I'm right or I am pleasantly surprised.

    We can even make poetry with this :D


    Yes, there are plenty of new, organic, complex, storylined in MP systems, with weaponry that could kick a light fighter NPC in 2 shots.


    The new AI is the challenge, the challenge brings the fun. If you have all NPCs just sitting in front til you kill them, what fun you have ? What skills you get ? ^^ you just get a number of "killed NPCs" that has no use for SP...

    yes - the speedmod would work in SP, but it would disable several other features

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    Are there pirates in your MP servers? Those are primarily the cause why I decided not to play MP again. And does your server tolerate swearing? Because I might throw a couple of F-words if shit hits the fan in the game.


    What kind of features are there in MP besides other people? Does it do RP as well?

    It's build FOR roleplay in the FIRST instance.


    There are quite a lot of pirat-clans very active on the server. But also some strong police-clans.


    Due to the serverrules, which can be first-viewed by just leaving planet-Manhatten, swearing is officially not allowed. You would have to work around a bit like SH-T or ev. F--K in typing and esp. DON'T be peronal offending (if the character your swearing at isn't your special buddy).

    I see, because while playing online with another mod in an MP server, I got raided twice by super pirates and then blown to bits along with my cargo even I did what they said. After that, I just HAD to type in "FUCK" out loud. Next thing you know, I'm IP banned. Fucking great.



    I really don't know about going to play MP, because I don't enjoy the PvP matches in FL. The only thing I would do, is go on an adventure in a cool ship with some nice guns with a partner or two and explore the far systems in CF and do NPC missions in groups while going deeper in the universe.

    The pirates in Crossfire-Universe are quite "civilized" as I got it by now. They have to wait (by rule) until your up to stand a chance against them.


    I think, a little swear, when fitting the situation wouldn't harm anybody here. On being the humans we are, its not avoidable.


    About this rallying on NPCs, just ask, if someone else will take part. Should be possible. And then : DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE QUESTS !!
    There are many and they are fun, keeping you on exploring, and exploring, and......





    A little explanation :


    I am a dedicated Singleplayer -for other reasons- for years now. I am on Crossfire because it HAS the most evolved singleplay in the whole FL-universe.


    But the guys here talked me with a lot of words and "friendly" answers on questioning about singleplay, into first-time ever playing on a server.


    ATM for me it's like playing OpenSinglePlayer, preparing to QUEST.
    It has some advantages over SP alone, also there're some things I prefer while playing alone.


    My advise so far: JUST TRY IT !

    Yes, the pirates are without honor in RP, but they're civilized, and they bring the fun to the server ^^

    Whats this quest you guys keep talking about? Can it be played in SP too or is there a certain script in the MP server that runs it?


    But yeah, I agree with NucNuc on the CF being the best mod to play SP in. I've previously tried CF 1.7 in SP and it was fun until it crashed and broke for some reason, cant remember why any more.
    After a long break when CF 1.81 came out with its amazing 1.4Gb size, I figured this has got to be something epic and better. For now I'm having fun playing the storyline campaign with the new features CF provides and its great, except for the AI.


    The reason I like the sloppier and easier vanilla FL AI because its not frustrating as the new advanced one in CF 1.81. You see, I'm a casual player and I don't really find the combat so fun in FL. When playing against even simple enemies like the rogues in the first mission when you escort the train to pittsburg feels like this is taking hopelessly long before you can kill even one of them because it takes a tremendous amount of focusing to hit him even just a bit with your puny guns. Then when it uses shields and nanobots it gets even more frustrating to take him down. And thats not to mention when it keeps re-activating his shield by itself each time he turns around.


    I might sound a bit whiny there, but I personally just enjoyed the old AI much more because it was not as frustrating as this one in CF 1.81.

    Ofc u can, and there is a few guys around which i know for 1 year.They play like u want to do:exploring without interfere with other, but if someone blow up your ship at these voyages, this is not a reason for swearing(you must know this is RP server), just try to stay calm and ppl will figure out ur way of playing and they should leave you "alone".
