Spirit of the Stars

In addition to some bug fixes, I have mostly finished the GUI’s.

I had some minor issues with adding multiple iterations of the same item, as well as handling ammo quantities, etc. There may still be some bugs here that I need to fix.

The Guis also work for the random NPC’s too.

I have added a way to generate a random inventory for these NPC’s, but I am having some issues making this inventory persistent, I am still working on this.

I will likely work on the AI improvements until the end of the month or early next month, and then move on from there.

I have made several improvements to the AI system. The AI now has a “relationship level”, which can be positive or negative.

As the relationship level increases, more options will become available (Such as the AI providing healing items or ammo to the player, or the AI allowing the player to access their inventory).

As the relationship level decreases, fewer options become available (Such as higher trade prices, or even no trade options at all).

The next goal is to add a complex gui that allows the player to buy/sell and access items in the AI’s inventory.

The NavGraph works fine over the network.

I have also fixed a few other minor bugs with the AI system.

The next goal is to improve the AI system and add more features for AI Companions, as well as a menu which allows for buying/selling/trading items, in addition to accessing the inventory of an AI companion and storing and retrieving items using the AI’s inventory.

I have also successfully ported to 2022.3 LTS, which should be a more stable platform to develop on than the TECH Streams.
