As of version 2.1b, players have the ability to create customized scenarios for Advanced Rogue Intelligence Assault (ARIA).
This is a guide on how to make them.
The basic flow through is as follows:
There is a dialogue scene before a space battle, then a space battle, then a dialogue scene after. There are several way to modify the scenario. even such that there is no space battle at all. there is also option to implement sex scenes in the scenario.
The scenes can be played by loading a scenario code. which is a series of 35 values used to define what happens in the scenario.
this is a example of a scenario code:
1000[A]2000[A]10[A]3[A]10[A]40[A]100000[A]20[A]13[A]20[A]20[A]2[A]1[A]50[A]2[A]10[A]4[A]1[A]3[A]6[A]8[A]10[A]1[A]1[A]4[A]Arielle: Jeo want’s us to capture all agents putting up a resistance.[A]Phia: No sweat sweetie. Who are we going to deal with first?[A]Arielle: Tiffany tracked Kim on radar. She is in the area so lets grab her first. Are you ready Phia ?[A]Phia: I’m always ready sweetie.[A]Kim: Stay away from me Phia![A]Phia: Aw sweetie, you just need to unwind a bit.[A]Kim: Mmm~ stop… please…[A]Kim: I’m.. I’m…[A]Phia: Now run along sweetie. We have work to do.[A]
the values are separated by a [A] and there need to be no spaces unless it is a dialogue line.
below is a guide the explains what each values is used for so you can build your own custom scenario(s).
keep in mind that the ARIA girls will use their own stats from the players current game state. Most of this is setting up the enemy units.

i dont get it
All of this is fairly technical and I made this early because it needs to already made before I finish and release the next version. So it might make sense later after I get the next version out. And I plan to have a senario creator tool also. There is still a lot to do.
Soo….replace the numbers…inbetween the [A]’s?
yeah that’s the general idea heh. it is a bit more complex than that though.
Interesting.
should be interesting yes heh
scenario creation is always good, because you create out of history or sense HEHE. looks good man.
yeah also things can made that are non canon.
Can’t wait to see the new version.
need to work on the sui-may stuff
Just finished my scenario. Hopefully I can use it soon. (◔ ‿ ◔)
probably won’t be till next week.
Cool stuff! I’ll probably stick to the canon story as long as it continues to develop, since I like the story and it’s nice seeing the chicks’ faces. But it is excellent that the option is there if we feel like it. Well done! 🙂
I’ll quite a bit of ideas for custom scenarios myself.
Could you post some of your customs on here since it’s so complex?
