Descent 3 Source Code
I don't know how much Descent 3 shares with the original in terms of AI code, but Descent 3 seems to give NPCs a dynamic list of goals that's initialized based on their class ("stalker", "evader", etc.).[1] Each goal has a priority/weight, and criteria that will cause the goal to be enabled or not. Some of the goal enablers are straightforward, but others look more like state machine "emotion" states - fear, curiousity, etc.[2]
Seems complex enough to meet the description on the box for the original Descent.

Have you tried the ray traced version? In my opinion it's the best way to play it. https://github.com/BredaUniversityGames/DXX-Raytracer

What directory do .HOG files go in Descent 1, and how do I load them? Thanks!
What directory do .HOG files go in Descent 1, and how do I load them? I am grabbing levels from here and using this amazing Ray Tracing MOD. Thanks!
- I ran a ray traced version of Descent on Steam Deck expecting a slide show. A few tweaks later it's >30fps.
- Descent ray traced! The classic FPS gets a path traced global illumination mod. Do you like the new look, or do you prefer the original?
