Since not a lot of people are playing murder mansion right now. I love werewolf mode but while i play it all the AI seem to not know what the mode is. they look like they are treating it like classic. Is there a way to play werewolf by myself due to few numbers?
| |
The thing is though. no one was killed during the night as far as i could tell. the only time someone got killed was when the murderer accidently killed himself. (at least i think) how many ai do you recommend?
| |
Hmmm. Perhaps they're bugged in some way when it comes to that mode. Once I get back to working on MM (I entered a contest to use the new v500 animation features, and I've been working on that project almost nonstop for the last few weeks) I'll look into it.
As for a recommended number, this mode has a minimum player count of 9 (this was the recommended balance point based on the Werewolf/Mafia/Assassin role-playing game rules that inspired this mode), so anything from 8 AI on up should be fine. (I'd recommend sticking with the minimum, rather than piling a ton of extra bots in there) | |
Thanks. One more question: is there a way to reduce lag on large maps?
| |
The lag comes from the AI pathfinding routine, and I've never been able to figure out how to reduce it (well, aside from playing with fewer/no bots; but that requires more human players).
I use an old library by Deadron (a BYOND guru from way back in the day) for the pathfinding, and I don't understand it well enough to try to make it more efficient. I may just replace it if I can find something better. Until then, though, the AI simply do not play well with the larger maps. | |
It seems that i cant vote for the werewolf as a lynching target. i can vote for other victims though
| |
That would definitely be a bug. Looks like I'm going to have to spend a lot of time messing with the Werewolf mode.
| |
It's the most complicated gamemode in the game, and I never really got he AI to *that* level.
They know the rules, and should be doing their assigned things (if chosen as a Werewolf, they should be going to vote on a victim, killing them, etc. and if a "villager", they should be waking up, looking around for a murder scene, then gathering to share their ideas on who is the culprit ("I saw [so and so] carrying a knife!", etc.) and then casting their votes for the lynch target.
I did notice, though, that sometimes they were really slow in doing their tasks, and would sometimes miss the time limit for that "phase".
