<3 The spirit lives on through all of us who enjoyed it for the funny, supportive, diverse community of many great people.

I realized I never made an AI Director thread outlining this feature so I'll do a quick one now.

The basic concept comes from Left 4 Deads AI director concept[left4dead.fandom.com] but a much more simpler, basic, less intelligent version. Basically our AID looks for data points to track how well or badly the player team is doing and adjust accordingly but not wildly. Sometimes the AID doesn't care how good/bad we are doing and just says fuck you! This chance is increased based on number of players, number of control points, and how many capture points they have captured.

• AID factors in kills of insurgents and players differently. 1 kill by an insurgent is a bigger deal vs 5 kills from a player. If insurgents get lots of kills while players not so much, the AI sees this as the players doing poorly and vice versa. Also it factors in fatal kills, wounded, medic/vip killed, jugs/bombers killed as +/-.
  
• AID factors in player revives and reinforcements as a positive for player team. If a medic or VIP is revived, the AID views this more of a positive vs any other troop.
  
• AID factors decisions based on player count. Mentioned below on how it decides difficulty.
  
• AID checks for player team progression. Example: If players are capturing points and the enemies still have a pool of reinforcements, the AI director sees this as the player team doing very well.
  
• AID considers a counter attack, enemy reinforcement or ambush, jug/bomber spawn as a bad thing for players.

Think of the above as the AI Director creating a "team status score". 0 means the player team is horrible while 100 means they are elite with everything in between. Based on that score, they AI will adjust difficulty. There is also a percentage chance the AI Director does not care, he will simply set difficulty to max end the player team. This change in difficulty is on a random min/max interval.

• Reinforcement and subsequent reinforcement timers are increased or decreased.
  
• Enemy ambush chance is increased or decreased.
  
• Frequency of special bots like juggernauts or bombers are increased or decreased.
  
• Counter-attack chance can change by +/- 10% chance. (NEW)
  
• Ambush chance is increased as players capture more points.
  
• AID has a low chance to set max difficulty regardless of team status. It increases based on factors. These factors aggregate start with player team size (bigger = higher chance), total number of points on map (less points = higher chance), and as the team progresses through the map (farther along = higher chance).

Disclaimer: AI reaction time and aim movement (not aim itself) does NOT change based on AI director. It DOES improve on counter-attacks and finale counter-attacks always. The change is substantial enough but not OP.

Sounds good, will remove those for now and add vietnam. For sure launch control.

Here's my bottom 5 "Hall of Shame":

Dishonorable Mention: Cu_Chi_Tunnels
This cave dwelling nightmare usually does a pretty good job of clearing out the server.

5. Ins_Prison
Poorly lit, cramped, and you spend most of the map cowering in a corner somewhere to deal with enemies randomly spawning all around you. There are multiple "jail" sections which quickly grow repetitive. Very dull map.

4. Treval
It says "v002" at the end of the map name but it's more like "v0.002". A polished version might have potential, but this one isn't even close to being finished. No mini-map, hard to find resupply areas, and the confusing map layout leaves you scattering to find your way to the next point.

3. La_Drang
It's often very difficult to see where enemies are shooting from on this map. To make things even worse, they can sometimes spawn under the map and shoot at you without you being able to do anything about it. Even without the glitch, I rarely see people enjoying this map.

2. Fa-Cargo
Infamous for a good reason. Due to enemy bombers, this map is pretty much near impossible as half your team (or more) can die in one second. Even if there were no bombers, the map would still be dark, cramped, and ugly. If an admin isn't on to help "cheat" then there is no point in playing it cause you likely won't even make it to the half-way mark. Return this cargo to sender.

1. Vietnam
The absolute bottom of the barrel. There isn't a single map on the server with worse foliage than this one. Have fun being shot at from every random direction with no ability to reasonably fight back. Good luck if you have to defend a point when you don't know where the enemy is coming from until they are standing right in front of your face. If that weren't bad enough, you start out with a laughable amount of loadout points, perhaps the lowest of any map on the server. If any map deserves first dibs on a trip to the garbage bin, it's this one.

Sorry its taken me this long to respond. I've removed those except for la_drang. That map seems well made aside from buggy first point. If people disagree let me know.

I'll look into replacing the texture and recompiling map. Just got back from a 4 day backpacking trip

So I scale the supply points based on the number of capture points of the map. More capture points = more base supply, less capture points, less supply.

I agree with the max round.. though I feel like 1 round is too little. I wanted to make maxrounds based on number of points (though I dont think the cvar can be dynamically changed once map is loaded). I feel like smaller maps, max rounds should be 3, bigger maps, maxrounds should be two. I do believe that the timer does kick in to overwrite maxrounds but I simply have not tested so will try to prove it if possible.


EDIT:

So mp_timelimit and mp_maxrounds do work dynamically (meaning you can change mid-game and it gets applied immediately). So I'm leaving maxrounds to 3, the only difference is I may increase supply slightly (1-2 points).

Then I'm setting mp_timelimit to 20 minutes so when time on map hits 20 minutes, either on 1st or 2nd try, the map should end.

As a bonus, I'll create a simple way to extend the map with a /extendmap command or something but Ill have to type up that logic later.

So it was another mod possibly?

Create a file called pure.cfg in your insurgency\cfg directory. In the pure.cfg paste sv_pure -1

In your batch file, make sure you have +exec pure.cfg


Example of mine:

start /wait /affinity 01 /HIGH srcds.exe -game insurgency -secure -console +exec pure.cfg +mp_theater_override "dy_gnalvl_coop_usmc" +sv_playlist sernix/sernix_coop +sv_pure -1 +maxplayers 49 +sv_workshop_enabled 1 +map "shop_invasion_coop_b2 checkpoint" +sv_lan 0 -port 27015 -autoupdate

The reason you see blank models is because on first load, the server isnt able to load custom models.

Also make sure you're NOT using any other custom PLAYER models on the server or subscribed by the clients.

I designed our theater to only look for our custom models, not custom ones from workshop because I want all players to see the same models and in the past, players would subscribe to enemy bots that were highlighted red or easy to notice.

This may vary for gun mods though since we don't overwrite certain vanilla guns.

Thanks Ill review and eventually address

Good discussion.

I agree and disagree on some points.

I removed thicket and panzer since I agree both those maps arent that fun. Panzer is a missed opportunity since the spawns are so spread and poorly done.

I also removed fa-goldeneye_facility_coop since it was god awful watching it the other night it literally motivated me to work on the official facility port and put daimyo quality into it since goldeneye was a favorite game of mine that it felt shameful to shit on it with that map.

Since I dont play as much as everyone, I'm thinking we can list all the maps and just vote on which ones we truly dont want for a couple weeks, not because they are difficult or played too much (remember we got new ppl flowing in that some of these maps are awesome if you remember your first time on them), but because they are generally a lazy port and or spawns/points are done poorly or just not fun to new and old vets.

What you guys think?


EDIT: Also, after some sourcemod updates or if im too tired to code, Im going to work on getting more maps ported but also fix older ones we had to remove like dog red and ins_resistance.
