How to add AI soldier into Project IGI 1

Adding AI Soldiers in Project IGI 1

Adding AI soldiers to Project IGI 1 requires a methodical approach to ensure they operate smoothly within the game. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. AI Path (PatrolPath):

   - Each AI soldier needs a designated path, known as a PatrolPath, to navigate through the game world.

   - These paths dictate where the AI can move and patrol.

   - In Project IGI 1, you define these paths directly in the game’s level files, such as "objects.qvm". Example: `Task_New(1, PatrolPath1, "", ...`.

2. AI Script:

   - AI scripts are essential as they define how the soldiers behave and interact within the game.

   - These scripts govern actions like movement, combat responses, and interactions with the player.

   - You can find AI scripts in the game’s directories, such as `level1/ai/530.qvm`, where `530` is the soldier’s ID.

3. Graph ID:

   - Each AI soldier operates within a specific game graph, which confines their actions and movements.

   - Ensure you specify the correct graph ID when adding an AI soldier to maintain game compatibility and functionality.

How to Add AI Soldiers

To simplify the process:

- Duplicate Existing AI Configurations:

  - Identify similar AI configurations already in the game, like Patrol or Guard AI.

  - Copy their paths and scripts.

- Customize the AI:

  - Modify the copied configurations to create new AI soldiers with unique behaviors.

  - Adjust IDs, paths, and scripts as needed to differentiate them from existing soldiers.

- Integrate Into the Game:

  - Once customized, integrate the new AI soldiers into Project IGI 1.

  - Ensure all configurations are correctly linked and referenced in the game files for seamless operation.

- Make sure in objects.qvm you add like this.

Project IGI - How to add 3D Models

Project IGI, also known as Project I.G.I: I'm Going In, is a tactical first-person shooter video game released in the year 2000. The game was developed by Innerloop Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. Since its release, it has become one of the most popular and beloved first-person shooter games among the gaming community. The game features a range of weapons, challenging missions, and a unique gameplay style that makes it stand out from other first-person shooters.

In this blog, we will be focusing on one aspect of the game - adding 3D models to Project IGI. Adding custom 3D models to Project IGI can add a whole new level of customization and creativity to the game. This can help players create unique levels, missions, and scenarios that they can enjoy.

3D Models information

In order to create 3D models for Project IGI, developers typically use Autodesk 3ds Max 2005. The 3ds Max 2005 version is the most suitable for creating 3D models for the game. To get started with creating 3D models for Project IGI, you need to download the IGI 2 Map editor from FilePlanet. The IGI 2 Map editor contains the 3ds-export-plugin that you can use to export your 3D models from Autodesk 3ds Max.

To use the 3ds-export-plugin, simply install Autodesk 3ds Max 5 and the IGI 2 Map editor in the same directory. Then, you will be able to export your 3D models as .mef files Which are basically Mesh External File. With this simple process, you can easily create your own custom 3D models for Project IGI.

Adding 3D Models into the game

Once you have created your 3D models, you will need to import them into the game. and follow these steps.

1)First decompile Target Level and Source Level models.res from level\models\level#.res 2)Then Copy your desired Model MEF object like 435_011.mef copy all mefs with "435" same model name. 3)Then paste them in your source level models and Pack them again to models.res 4)Then copy object Texture data from level\models\level#.mtp 5)Download and Get MTP Decoder tool under Tools section. 6)Add your new textures in level#.mtp file and Increase total Objects Count and decode it. 7)Now add your New model with full qualified name like 435_01_1 into your level"

System Requirements

In order to use Autodesk 3ds Max 2005 to create 3D models for Project IGI, you will need a Windows XP operating system with at least 8GB of RAM. This will ensure that you have the necessary resources to run the software and create high-quality 3D models.
