requesting help with 2 AI problems

BionicleManF · Civilian **Joined**: 25 Apr 2012

Hello! i am currently working on a mod of mine called BetaMod. It features units and abilities that were forgotten plus a bit of my own tweaks.

I am trying to give the Nuke General AI a special bomb to throw down when at rank 2, i already put it in the AIData.ini but he won't use it
(I am unaware if there is something else i need to do, that goes with the next one too)

and i also want to replace a few of the particle cannons the SupW General AI builds with her other Super weapons (including the Tomahawk Storm i added) again, i eddied the AIData.ini not sure if that was enough.
i know she builds five cannons, I want 3 of those replaced with the 3 other Super weapons of her's.

any help would be most appreciated! Very Happy

All in the SkirmishScripts.scr. And the only way to edit that is with the WorldBuilder, a pain in the ass.

thanks, but i'll probobly need more info then that.
i have read up how to extract it, but not sure how to continue.

~EDIT~
ok, so i did figure it out all on my own, but this is really confusing, all the generals are in the wrong folders! is that normal?

~EDIT~
oh! i get what went wrong! because i had another team added, everything got messed up! ok, i think i may be able to do it myself!
...
or not. apparently, it still does jumble the players.

Well, it's really a long story on how to properly edit the AI. Following this tutorial should help something, although I dunno what is causing the problem you describe. Never run into that Confused

what i understood from that is how to get an AI to use units, i need to teach it new buildings.

also, this is what i mean by jumbling the players

as you can see, America has the GLA scrips, and the list above that says China is on the Civilian player.

~EDIT~
OH! i found the source of this problem! plyr civilian need to be at the bottom of the player list! it doesn't do that automatically, removing it from the top and putting it to the bottom has fixed everything! no need for help until further notice! Very Happy

~EDIT~
so i have set up everything in AIData.ini and in SkirmishScripts.scr, but the stuff still wount work.

Put the edited SkirmishScripts.scr and AIData.ini in the correct place in your Gen/ZH folder?

yes, because the buildings i replaced now are not built, but the new buildings aren't built ether

I have Core i5 quad with tons of RAM and ZH still lags to hell and back. However, it's usually on fan maps with more than 4 players present. The more AIs you throw at the game, the more it has to to pathfind. Pathfinding in ZH is a bitch.

At least on most EA made maps, I can throw every AI at the game and it runs fine. Seems like most fan maps have some sort of pathing issue.
