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)
    
  5. 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.

Skinning Tutorial: Boots

Murs, how you did the boots of your Red Son Superman? Most of skins (including all of mine) has the boots looking form fitting, like spandex. Your Red Son Supes has a great leather feel and no muscles showing in his boots. How you did that?

Skinning Tutorial: Hair

However, the thing that I believe all skinners could aid from is different techniques in doing HAIR, for both male and female meshes.

This same method can be applied to female hair.

I have a question Murs, how do you colour your base? Like going from your original base to the blue tone you have for the Spidey 2099 skin you did.

Skinning Tutorial: Highlights

Freedom Reborn member John Jr. asks:

“Murs, how did you make the (perfect) highlights on your Spidey 2099 skin?”

I don’t know about perfect, but this is how I go about doing them. If anyone would like me to go into more detail, just let me know.

Just a heads up: I’ve been fighting serious allergies so I’m sorry for any coughing, sneezing, sniffling, and throat clearing.
