Ground Control is an AIRMASH bot that sends wingmen to attack you. She's controlled through a chat interface. Ask her for help with --gc-help.
Let's get to it: request 3 wingmen from Ground Control with --gc-wings 3. You can request up to 5 wingmen to attack you. The wingmen are pretty dumb, always flying right to you, always shooting, and always predators. When you're done fighting your wingmen, say --gc-call-off to call them off your tail.
You'll note that you can only request wingmen to attack you; Ground Control doesn't want to bother players that don't want wingmen. Every player can request up to 5 wingmen, so hopefully the servers don't fall into chaos.
We need a nightly Rust compiler to compile the binary (cargo build [--release]). We may also use the provided Dockerfile to get a Ground Control client up and running quickly.
$ airmash-ground-control ws://us.airmash.online/ffa1
will connect us to FFA1 in US. We may connect to as many servers as we'd like; just pass them in on the command line. Use -h / --help to ask for help and see all options.
Use a RUST_LOG environment variable to control logging outputs. The Docker image will, by default, show info messages and above.
We have a small framework for defining your own wingmen. See the wings module's documentation for a walkthrough and an example. You can read it in the source code or render it with cargo:
