Yep, from what I can see through RE of the binary it just gets tokenized then executed. My code is parsing it and generating an IR state then performing execution/evaluation. Once I can get the execution part handled then I could probably refactor the raw->IR process a bit.

As mentioned, the game uses a pre-shader version of OpenGL, to add shader support you would need to redo a non-trivla portion of the graphics engine.

nice! ok, i'll see about getting better support for python 3 then, until then it requires python 2.7.x.

Also how did you download the code? I double checked it and there shouldn't be any problems with running this with Python 3.x. Did you download a zip or clone the repo? Whitespace is important so if any of that breaks the code won't run.

I've been playing a lot of KOTOR recently.

Unlikely given the game's age, the OpenGL engine is pre-shaders.

Feral is the one responsible for that, due to legal reasons they cannot allow anyone outside of their company to write code for it. Since it isn't one of their primary titles, being employed by them would only mean you are allowed to work on it in your spare time. I'm pretty sure Feral would be ok with me saying that BINK is no longer supported at all for this. That code will not run on modern systems, it would be a waste of time to try to get that working again. The videos have been fixed in a more recent build to use MOV instead as that is what Feral has a license for.

happy christmas everyone

I downloaded a fresh copy of it off the downloads site we have and it was able to open for me. try nuking your existing and launching it, it should ask once then ask you where the AE directory is. If not, then I guess we can talk in more detail and I can help you chase this down.

I'm no expert when working with this, but could it be possible to force it to not path find? my understanding is that you want the AI to stay in one spot regardless of where a player moves. Couldn't this be done by nuking the patrol and path finding elements or forcing them to remain in one spot.

One way is to get them stuck in an area with no pathfinding grind associated with it, much harder and requires a level rebuild, but some small elements can prevent them from pathfinding out of an area that wouldn't impose problems for a player controller character. For example, in airport checkpoint 2, AI will never be able to get onto the luggage belt that is in that room you start in. Animations are rooted to the floor of the level, only way they could escape a small lip is by jumping, which AI doesn't like to do. It might be possible to create such a lip to enclose where you want them to stand without needing them in invisible walls. This also has the added benefit of making them time out instantly from trying to path find their way-out and fall back on other attack methods, being ranged attacking with weapons.

(this airport example is an inverse example, they will attempt to path find around to get to you, but if the rolls were reversed then you would be seeing them trying to just attack you when they exhaust their ability to path find.

I have spoken with Alloc and it looks like we will be working together to integrate this into AEI in the near future, and move forward with mod patching from there.
