Lobby Setup Scripts
« on: October 09, 2014, 07:54:56 pm »
I always tended to stack lobby setup options in my favor, so for my last few games I've been using the Unknown Factions Setup scripts (with a randomly chosen starting system & ship type). It keeps things fresh and adds quite a few surprises during the game, such as Human Colony Rebellions suddenly appearing just when you thought you figured out a way to get rid of our favorite digital overlord.
While generally nice, this method has a few flaws - the Unknown Factions 4 script is in love with spire civilian leaders and adds them in about 50% of all games, doesn't add the Fallen Spire campaign and of course doesn't use any of the content of the later expansions.

I've been looking into the scripts, and it's fairly easy to write & add new ones. The scripts are straightforward, if somewhat verbose, so writing the scripts I want shouldn't be too hard.
However, is there any kind of documentation available? A small list of functions and the names of the (newer) AI plots and minor Factions in particular would be very useful.

Edit: I completed most of the script, but I'm still missing the names/handles of Alt Champ Progress, Alt Champ Nemesis and the Shark and Counter Posts Plots. Any Ideas?

Seems our mods deleted all the threads from the copy-your-thread-bot, including those that resulted in useful conversations. Could some mod restore the deleted thread with the same name as this and maybe merge it? It contained some interesting information from keith about the setup scripts.

Meanwhile, I've added the script again for those that were interested. Short version, the script randomly sets some (anything between none and all) Minor Factions and AI plots and hides them from you, making those an actual surprise when playing a game.

Edit: Script goes into [yoursteaminstallpath]\Steam\SteamApps\common\AI War Fleet Command\RuntimeData\Logic\LobbySetupScripts, you can then select it in the lobby
