Is it possible to change AI firing accuracy in the new version?

it's possible by editing the ai files, they are located in sp_pak_coop1.pk3 in the folder maps/

each map has its own file, example: escape1.coop.ai in that file search for aim_accuracy, you'll have to change it for each AI and then save the file and create a new pk3 file

I did try changing those from 0.6 to like 0.01 but the soldiers remained super accurate with their shots

Now that I think about it, what even is the point of those values being there if the game will always overwrite them anyway?

did you pack your changes into a pk3 file ? if not, did you run an unpure server ?

my bad, I forgot that this was overwritten by the code

I just checked again, and for coop games the accuracy is indeed overwritten by the g_gameskill setting

I have just added a cvar to the current git version which allows you to disable this, but at this moment I can't create a windows built, so this doesn't help you

about the crash, what's the last thing the logfile shows you ?

there's a big chance it takes months before I release a new version, I don't have enough time currently to properly test everything, etc

I tried to compile it again and I think this time the compiling worked fine, however the firing accuracy is still being overwritten even though I removed the lines you told me to remove from ai_cast.c

These lines are supposed to be removed, right?

        if ( g_gameskill.integer == GSKILL_EASY ) {
            newent->health = client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] = client->ps.stats[STAT_MAX_HEALTH] = 1;
            cs->attributes[AIM_SKILL] = 0.6;
            cs->attributes[ATTACK_SKILL] = 0.6;
        } else if ( g_gameskill.integer == GSKILL_MEDIUM ) {
            cs->attributes[AIM_SKILL] = 0.75;
            cs->attributes[ATTACK_SKILL] = 0.75;
        } else if ( g_gameskill.integer == GSKILL_HARD ) {
            cs->attributes[AIM_SKILL] = 0.9;
            cs->attributes[ATTACK_SKILL] = 0.9;
        } else if ( g_gameskill.integer == GSKILL_MAX ) {
            cs->attributes[AIM_SKILL] = 1.0;
            cs->attributes[ATTACK_SKILL] = 1.0;
        }

You told me to remove this entire block to stop the game from overwriting the firing skill, and I did but when replacing the COOP files with the compiled ones, nothing changed with the AI accuracy even though the file sizes are all different now

Edit: so weird thing happened, instead of deleting the whole thing, I tried (for testing's sake) to just change one of the values, so instead of 0.6 I put 0.1 .....and instead of the AI lowering its accuracy, now the bots can't kill each other at all, they still fire at 0.6 accuracy and I can kill them and they can kill me

But for some unknown reason they can't kill each other anymore, and another weird thing is: this change seems to have applied to ALL difficulty settings, not just easy (which is where this weird change should only be happening)

there is a cvar in 1.0.3beta called g_ignorescriptedaccuracy this when set to 0 in theory should allow your adjusted accuracies to work but this would require you porting this cvar across to your build or at least if you was to examine it's code you would be able to figure out how to allow your adjustments to work you would need to clone the latest github build and have a look. I have tested this cvar a little and it does seem to allow the enemies to be less accurate. one problem i have found with the 1.0.3beta build is if you was to use it instead, the players gun firing sounds are missing in the cooperative gametype for the windows64 build i don't know if this affects the 32bit build or the linux builds. also cooperative is now gametype 3 in 1.0.3beta i sorta think coop should have been left as gametype 2 as classes is very experimental at the current build, so coop should really be the default gametype.

did you clone from here "git clone https://github.com/rtcwcoop/rtcwcoop.git" as this will clone the latest you might want to move or delete the build you currently have in your Cygwin64/home/yourdocumentsname and download a new, as for cvars they are the commands that go in your server config or can be used in console that control how your server is setup plus some other things, but sorry i don't know where you might find that cvar within the code fretn may be able to help you with that. oh and most the files haven't been updated in years but if you look at the code entry you'll see that it was 3 days ago.

That’s great to hear you got it sorted, now all we need is a fix for endmap as that can bug out and make the enemies invincible, and for cvar g_log to actually create a log you can find and rtcwcoop would be getting nearer to perfect. But glad to have helped with your issue. Oh and maybe the possiblibilty of respawnable items and weapons. This is a great mod but I feel it could be even greater if it wasn’t for a few restrictions. It just needs a few more options possibly in the form of cvars so it can be tailored more. Not everyone likes things set in stone so to reach a wider audience it needs to be a bit more flexible.
