MOSAIC - Modular Ordanance Standardization Artifact Intelligence Conflicts

[saturnV]

is there a way to play this?

[PicassoCT]

Yes.
Download the package

Code: Select all

 game:mosaic:stable

Its is far from perfect though.
Thanks for reporting bugs:
https://github.com/PicassoCT/MOSAIC

[PicassoCT]

Added a refugee gyland

[PicassoCT]

So the AI started interrogating random citizens-

attracting the police


Cons:
So, lots of bugs.. the Interrogations are a bad decision to start with.
The police got all stunned.
They did not shoot on the agent, who was revealed during interrogation.
The agent got stuck in a loop of interrogation, obviously not getting its "weapon" is worthless for assassination.

Pros:
The agent did build a safehouse before it went downhill.

[PicassoCT]

Okay.. walls and Checkpoints

Checkpoints reveal all agents - but costs you 50 $ per checked unit/person

[MasterBel]

That checkpoint is looking really cool :D

Love the random "Input grabbing is enabled!" in the middle of the interrogations :D

[PicassoCT]

@masterbel, had to redo a lot of it - the yardmap wasnt working, had to put tons of brehmerwall up only to redirect the flow of traffic through it
Also added even bigger lights so you can see if the scanned unit was a enemey spy.

The propaganda cost for scanning the local citizens is now withdrawn from the players.

Regarding the Input grabbing enabled - that is nearly unavoidable.

Thats a engine thingy- if you prevent the mouse from leaving the screen, it spams..
Had to do that, to realize the mini-game..

[PicassoCT]

AI places to many buildings in one house

The problem is - i cant block the build spot - or else all other teams know that there is a safehouse within this house.
Can you block buildspace only for one team?

[PicassoCT]

So i added a directional graph to display if a spy has been interrogated and revealed its parent (creator/recruiter) and the unit he/she have recruited.

[PicassoCT]

How do i draw a Unit with a different gl_blendingMode ?
I want to blend the icon units in like a hologram. Aka, no shadow and looking like this.

Goal is this:

[PicassoCT]

So the good news first - the unit graph is working.

Now the bad news- i got bored, and started feature creeping..
Good news though its not additional gameplay. Its just a widget. It will add com chatter, in the background depending on the commands you issue.

Stuff like:
"Operative Five move to sector Alpha Seven"
"Asset take out Operative Zero One"
Another step closer to that BlueRoom/PredatorBay/MenInTheChair Feeling of most movies..

[PicassoCT]

So got the town to errupt into anarchy..
Must admit im loving it..

[PicassoCT]

So i played it against turBoss and added a issue to commemorate this historic event:

https://github.com/PicassoCT/MOSAIC/issues/23

Notes:
-The propagandaserver produce to little money at the start.
- Prayer-time is a give away to lots of new players
- The police reacts to cloak civilians getting killed on decloak
- Raid Icon-MiniGame has a horrific bug
- Lots and lots TODO

Thanks to TurBoss for trying

[PicassoCT]

So i added a little explenation for the mini-game into the loadscreen

[PicassoCT]

Anyone wants a graffiti or protest-sign:

Short sentences only..

[PicassoCT]

Hooray, i have motorbikes now..
In this picture is bike that has loaded a truck that has loaded a payload.
magnets, how do they work..
Ancient lore tells only the knorke knows..

[PicassoCT]

Have some more propaganda

[PicassoCT]

So, i have double agents. Basically units that flip the side, upon decloak.



My question is, should those units be recursive - as in, everything a double-agent recruits/builds - becomes another double agent?

It is a pretty scary concept.

[PicassoCT]

So i kept it in.. its kind of anxiety creating.. after all, if you build on top of somebodys base, you create the base for your own downfall..

And the curse of recursion mean, that if a enemies double-agent base builds something, it creates more double agents.. its sort of the ultimate mindfuck and you can only prevent it by raiding a house ahead, making sure its empty..

Maybe im making it over-complex again, but the rest of the game is so simple.. it should still fly..

If anyone wants to try it - its
game:mosaic:stable in springlobby

and its at Version 0.675

It includes a bot, which cranks out vehicle, but sadly does not get the complexer parts of the gameplay.
