Re: [Epiar-devel] Hailing?

[Christopher T. <ch...@lu...>]

besides sound code, the level editor, and landing on planets (oh, and
selections) (btw, most of this i intend on having a good hold on before
0.14 comes out), i do have plans for a hailing system. i'd like to write
the code for it, since it's mostly hud stuff and i'm doing major hud
changes.

also, with reading the hud, 1) the hud is ugly anyway, so it needs
revisiosn), and 2) i think a new message should come in a little above
the bottom hud, on the main display, in white and bold, and after a few
seconds, it would be moved onto the last few messages recieved part of
the hud. remember, the hud is about to get major upgrades, but yes, i
agree, hailing is a must, and it would show off the a.i.

i'll see what i can do when i redo the hud sat.

I dont know if we want to yet, but if we implement some sort of hailing function, even if its only a text message in the box down at the bottom of the screen, it'd be a really easy great way to show off the changeable AI. That way you could hail someone a bit, and see that they get the idea and start hailing you back. It'd be an easily observable thing, and it wouldnt require the threat of destruction to another ship. It would also easily showcase the AI learning from AI, and things of that nature, again without the constant threat of destruction. Just thought it might be nice. What do you think?
