5 Unlikely Songs that Remind You of Superheroes?

I don’t mention it much on the boards, but I have very eclectic tastes when it comes to music. Today, I’m going to list and link to at least 5 videos that remind me of superheroes (or in broader terms, comics) that aren’t actually about them. Sound fun? No? Well, read ahead anyway, dang it:

1) Mr. Jones – Alexz Johnson

Even though this particular song is more likely to be linked to a spy or detective, in the craziness that is my mind, I can see it applying to any superhero that happens to change their clothing in a phone booth and has a female reporter in their life that’s constantly trying to piece together who her super lover is. It can’t just be me, can it? More >

The Lack of Updates…

Sorry to say it, guys, but FRP is more or less on a bit of sabbatical. Shh, dry those tears. It’s not because we don’t like providing you guys with awesome content for your amusement, but because we’ve all been a little bit busy with RL (real life) and other personal projects which may or may not be related to Freedom Force. On my end, writing has come into the forefront and FF had slid towards the bottom of my things to contribute towards, but don’t you worry, I might have something coming your way soon. And just to tease a little more, I know my fellow site mate, Cmdrkoenig, will probably be ready to tease some awesome things in the near future. A lot of awesome things… full of awesomeness that’ll make you mansplode all over the place. Oi, that sounded messy… and wrong… *shrugs*. Anyway, that’s the news for now. We hope to be back with some all new features soonish unless, of course, robots begin to rule the world!

Using m25 AI in mods

Since this has been asked a few times, I’m going to put it on the blog so that it’s easily findable in the future.

How do you use m25′s AI in a mod or campaign setting?

Simple, dear asker. Just follow these steps:

  1. Import the FFX module using the following command: from ffx import *
  2. Under your OnPostInit() section, add the following lines of code:
    1. setMission(numerical value), InitScripts(), and FFX_InitMission()
  3. Still under OnPostInit(), add the following lines of code:
    4. heroes = getAllHeroes()
    for h in heroes:
    	SetupAI(h)
    	AIDisableCustom(h)
  4. And when you’re ready to activate the custom AI, call SetupAI() with the appropriate character name.

The completed file will look similarly to this:

# Sample

from cshelper import *
from ffx import *
   
def OnPostInit():
    print "start"
    setMission(1)
    InitScripts()
    FFX_InitMission()
    heroes = getAllHeroes()
    for h in heroes:
         SetupAI(h)
         AIDisableCustom(h)        

def super(event):
    m25ai.SetupAI('superguy')

That’s the gist of it, but if you want to know more about this process and what other commands you’re able to use, check out this thread: Using m25 AI. Hope this helps.
