RELEASED A.V.I.A.N. Avian Core

You might also want to look into modifying files like aimessages.config, since it has scripted dialogue that plays when the player reaches a certain point within a mission. I can imagine that A.V.I.A.N. might be disgusted when she 1st sees a Moontant, or that she might comment that the situation within the Erchius Mining Facility looks like something out of a B-rated horror movie, or that she might get a jumpscare moment when the Moontant Miner starts chasing the player down a corridor, or that she might comment about the player jumping down that hole at the start of the Floran Hunting Party mission.

 

I can't wait until the next stable comes out.
After playing through it at least once, I'll unpack all the files and check out how things work now.
I've seen that the ai's in general have been completely changed to a single ai character that has his own personality/story...

 

What? I liked the idea of individual AIs based on the civilization that developed them...

 

So, 1.0's finally out, what's the damage report? How badly borked is our favorite AI?

 

Hopefully you will update this soon. Homogenizing the AI into a single type feels like it was a poor choice on the devs' part. Alas.

 

Just chiming in to voice my love of this mod. I too hope to see this updated for use with 1.0 eventually.

 

This mod is a must for 1.0. Hope it can work again.

 

AVIAN FW (FreeWare)

The FreeWare version of the popular SAIL AI AVIAN is simpler and more limited in its functions, but more easily integrated into different ships’ systems and more accepting of program updates, whereas the full version of AVIAN is far more difficult and time consuming to update.

Fluff explanation aside, this is a pseudo mod for what is basically an AVIAN skin for the stock AIs, with some minor edits and custom work, just to tide us over until Cgeta can get the full mod updated for 1.0. Because we miss our bird AI. However, this pack is meant to slot into the Racial AI Restorer mod Diriel made as a replacer and add-on for that mod’s assets (I've included Avali compatability), which allows AVIAN to be colored to match each race’s theme. Also included are AVIAN themed tech stations for each race as well. Needless to say, these resources are freely offered to Cgeta if he thinks they might be useful.

The full mod for this is now available here.

 

i can't wait to see this mod to be update for the new 1.0 version of the game

 

Yeah, I can't wait to see this on the workshop. I mean, oh please, let it be on the workshop?

 

I hope you update soon... i miss my sassy bird AI

 

Just tried it. I get her picture on the mission list but the screen is just blank static where you should see her talking. Is it because of 1.0 or something?

 

yeah, they change the AI system

 

great mod love this A.I. and i wanna ask if you are gonna put this on the steam workshop

 

I have no idea how the steam workshop is gonna work.
But I imagine I'll look at it eventually

 

cool hope its on there soon

 

Pleasepleasepleaseplease tell me this is going to be updated to support 1.0

 

Wow, this is a really cute mod. Any plans to update her to 1.0? Now I just need to find a fitting high-tech Avian ship to go with her...

 

Yeah, I've started working on it today.
I figured out how to do the packing thing. And I assume putting it on the workshop won't be very troublesome.
Then I replaced the regular ai stuff in the ship. Also working.
I also changed the beeping aichatter soundeffect with another one that I found in the assets
And I also did the title and sub title of the ai window. Changed it to AVIAN

Tomorrow I will probably do the radio messages, which there's a lot of now. This also involves making a small version of the current ai frames and testing if everything works.
After that I will have to redraw the tech stations, or whatever they're called now. As now they display the face of the ai, and it should be her birdy face that's decorating it.

 

yay, good to know you are working on the mood again!
