Aftershock PrepNet Phyle Faction, mobs, locations

[Maleclypse]

Summary

SUMMARY: Mods " Adding a bionic prepper faction to Aftershock"

Purpose of change

Creating a core faction for Aftershock will push it further into it's sci-fi setting and begin to set the tone for what types of additional content belongs in the mod.

Describe the solution

Created a faction, 2 monsters, 2 maps, one class and one NPC so far.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Doing less difficult things with my life.

Testing

Adding new monsters is the devil. Literally I may be starting to believe I am a sinner in the hands of an angry god.

Additional context

None

@LovamKicsiGazsii I'm getting a load stopping error saying that my npc class is unknown `` DEBUG : Error: line 64:33: unknown npc class

    { "monster": "GROUP_PrepNet", "x": [ 3, 20 ], "y": [ 16, 20 ], "repeat": 4 }

I thought you might have an idea where I've gone awry based on your work on the Church faction. :)

edit: Looked through your PR some more and solved that problem. Now on to all the non gamebreaking problems.

Hi-tech pioneer living. :)

Doing some testing. I've listed the cybermastiffs as part of a Mon_faction that is friendly with the NPC faction. If I attack the NPC the mob doesn't attack me. If I attack the mob the NPC rushes to my rescue and kills the mob he's supposed to be friendly with. Any suggestions? I had thought that mirroring Apis_Hive would work, but I'm not actually sure the bees and Apis are friendly with each other now that I'm looking at it again.

These are all the changes that need to be made to make all the topics start with "TALK_PrepNet_gardener" and for all the topics to be correctly referenced.

I'm trying to make the cyber-mastiff's treat PrepNet_Phyle faction NPCs the same way that Giant Bees treat Apis. Currently the mastiff's remain neutral until they see zombies. It appears that once zombies appear they attack everyone including the faction NPCs they are supposed to be aligned with. I'm not having luck determining how Apis stays neutral to bees in similar situations.

[Amariithynar]

The Tripods are unceasingly hostile to me just for coming near to them when they're attacking a Fungal Tower; they stopped prioritizing attacking the Mycus and turned on me. If it wasn't night time, I'd have been mobbed by like 15 of them; as soon as I got away, they completely tore through every fungal creature and structure there, and then started hunting for me. I'm neutral with PrepNet; they should probably not be aggro to me when I'm not infected or Mycus myself.

That should be fixed in the upcoming experimental.
