Aerowind Report post Posted April 21, 2004 Ants are so fun can you make it so they do other skills like Magic or something? and interact with NPC's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sam3773 Report post Posted April 22, 2004 How about an ant being a Lucky dip ant that goes around like the rest training skills but picks up everything in a bag they see (till its full) then when someone goes up to it and shouts "LUcky dip" it drops a random object that its picked up :D:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_antiroot Report post Posted April 22, 2004 [playername] found a joker and won an ant ;-) Btw,sorry about being nasty to ant 154, but when he jumped on my bag the line "ant_154 #suicide" almost typed itself ;-) You may want to lock out "#kill me yes" as an instruction as I presume that would also get an obliging response ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

me Report post Posted April 23, 2004 I like killing the Ants by summoning creatures. Then I take their stuff. Then I wait for them to get out of hell and I summon another creature to kill them. That is fun. You might want to fix it. Me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted April 24, 2004 The Ants are busy leveling and I still need to get them to learn when they should or shouldn't attack. I have just taught them to eat, so they will be able to start healing, and in the mean time they are leveling as wel (most on the new server are around 12/12/ right now). This is still a lot more to do with them (auto equip, heal, call for help, etc). In the mean time, feel free to kill them with either summoned animals or in PK areas like KF where there Anthill is on the new Server currently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirdan Report post Posted April 24, 2004 ok WHAT THE HELL is the anthill??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted April 24, 2004 The Anthill is the location where they go after they are done gathering to drop their stuff. Its a location not an object. All of the Ants on one Server all work with the same Anthill location, so their stuff can sometimes build up. Often you'd find junk there, but on the older server, people kept raiding it to get summoning items. With it in KF, the Ants don't get there often until the level more.

Learner Report post Posted April 26, 2004 The Ant eating logic has been fixed and they rarely get confused now. They also are auto Equiping when they pick up wearable wieldable items and picked up a little bit more smarts ina couple areas. Now I need to get them to estimate if that can take a animal/monster/player as well as gathering their own food instead of bags only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killerlamb Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Are these ants figuartive or actual ants? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Figurative, I used dwarfs dressed in all black. It's the closest I could get to a black ant without special support from Entropy. If you would take the time to play you might even be able to say something intelligent for once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_yept Report post Posted April 28, 2004 the ants r great i saw 1 with leather pants on the test server. What did i do kill it 3 times till it dropped the pants . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted April 28, 2004 Thats part of the fun in the Ants, later on they will learn to hold a grudge for a while or call for help when your attacking one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Learner Report post Posted April 28, 2004 They don't do it yet, and I'm planning on making sure that even if you get them mad, it won't be forever. Thats all part of trying to make them more dynamic. Now if only they would do their own pickpoints ... takes a while to do them for 20 ants! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
falcon2330 Report post Posted April 29, 2004 yes it does =D now if u could only make the ants do one thing....kill 360 for killing them more than me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Learner Report post Posted April 30, 2004 The Ants now are doing their own pickpoints usage except they will not automatically take Perks yet. This will make running them much easier ... was hard trying to keep using up the pickpoints on 20 Ants! Now for Harvest ... so they can feed themselves!

lost_one Report post Posted May 4, 2004 It seems I'm the first person in this forum to say something like this... but I find the ants VERY annoying. And I'm not the only one. Some of my friends agree with me. They are running around, with no common sence or even politeness... they steal kills... they look like idiots running around, seemingly not able to find where they are going... when I get around one or two my server lags incredibly (And I don't wanna hear that it's my video card or my net connection my FPS is NORMALLY in AT LEAST the high 90's). What it amounts to, in my and a friend's opinion, is that you have made "Legal" bag jumpers. What if there is an ant around and someone accidently clicks off the bag they're standing on? What's to prevent the ant from grabbing that person's bag?? If they do end up stealing thing, is the person who created the program going to pay for what they stole? And yes, it IS stolen. I know I'm not the only person that feels this way, but I'm not sure how many people agree with me. In short, my opinion... Send all the ants to hell and not let them be able to get out.

Kedan Report post Posted May 4, 2004 The ants are the best, if your looking for an easy 30 or so gc go to the anthill and there you go. I think it would be cool to make the ants NPC's that walk around it just makes the game more fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
