Finding the AI boss

[Xaoc]

I've found the AI boss in multiplayer previously on multiple occasions, but right now in singleplayer I can't get it to spawn. I've read the wiki and been trying hidden mass systems and empty systems at about half way to the core, but with like a hundred or so systems explored I haven't met the boss even a single time. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a command to force the boss to spawn?

It's further away than halfway, between distance of 280 and 340.

 

 

As for script, if in

C:\Program Files x86\steamapps\common\Avorion\data\scripts\player\story\spawnai.lua

you change line 29

if math.random() < 0.05 or consecutiveJumps > 8 then

 

to

 

if math.random() < 2 or consecutiveJumps > -1 then

 

it should spawn immediately when you enter a valid system.

Note: that means it'll spawn every time you do that though :V

I did change that script (since I lost my save/progress), killed the AI 3 times and it wouldn't drop the reward. Not sure what happened.

Sigh, after having trying it for many hours and then making this thread. I managed to find the AI in about 15-20min after making it. -_-

Thanks for the tip, anyway.

Odd. Sure you didn't miss it? AI drops loot all over the sector...

 

In any case, type

 

/run Player(callingPlayer):getInventory():add(SystemUpgradeTemplate("data/scripts/systems/teleporterkey6.lua", Rarity(RarityType.Legendary), Seed(124)))

into console to cheat artefact into inventory

Thanks for that solution, i changed the code then i found the AI and the artifact. :)

 

But i don't understand: in theory with your code i must found the AI at every jump (in the good sector) but i only find him one time.

Maybe we can kill him no more than one time ?

Hello,

 

You are missing something to be able to really farme correctly the boss is the time of reappearance.

 

This time changes it to line 63 of the spawnai.lua file.

 

Normal : noSpawnTimer = 30 * 60

 

Amended : noSpawnTimer = 1--30 * 60

 

With this modification the boss spawn all the time, just have to find it  :P

 

Sorry for my bad English.

Howdy. The AI isn't spawning anyway. I reduced the function onSectorEntered() to the call spawnEnemies(x, y) because i didn't manage it on the normal way. Only Swoks showed up multiple times but no AI is dropping in. Strange. Regarding Swoks is showing up in this range. He shouldn't, i think.

 

... and yes, my coordinates are between 280 and 340 squares from the center.

 

EDIT: My last try hit the fan. Dunno what went wrong but now i have artifact #6

 

EDITEDIT: Now i met the AI at 167:214. It fought against pirates near a convoi of merchant-ships. After watching the fight (the pirates lost) i engaged the AI but with every destroyed piece of it i have lost points for the convoi-faction. Mystery mystery.

The AI is weird. It seems it jumps around : I've gone to three sectors where I fled from it and no AI in sight. Interesting behavior :) !

Edit: And it jumps way too fast. It seems to evade my latest creation, which wants to make it her punching-ball  :(.
