Ai editing is one of the more tedious aspects of modding. I dont know anything about actually doing it but i also want to learn.

Its not that tedious.
For starters, obtain an AI.INI file and open it up. You'll see that in the first section, you may recognize some unit names from RULES.INI. You can start by changing these to your own units. For these they follow the format:
x=y,z
x is the number of the command (counting from zero)
and y is the number of unit z to build

My editor won't have much use without knowing the basics... I strongly advise you to download (and read  ) DeeZire's INI Editing Guide before using my program.
I'm currently wondering should I write my own help file about it or not... |

btw: My AI-Coder (Phantom/Blackpearl) got pissed recently: He figured you can't put the names of pre-existing things (like scripts etc.) into an action, 'cause it'll get re-created...
e.g.:
If you have a script [scr1pt], and you tell the AI-Editor the action should use the script [scr1pt], it will actually write a new section [scr1pt], which makes two in total...

 I know that. I'm now fixing this and a couple of other small bugs, sorry, but it's still a beta, you know, it can't do everything... |

ah how fun.... i think i will have a rest on AI scripting. 7 crashes, 5 cups of coffee and a seriously sore finger is all i gained... that and 3 crashes and the computer turning on its own units when it built a weather controller.... the joys of being a newbie...

That was not meant as an offense of any kind...
It's just that he told me that about ten mins before I posted, so I still had it in mind...
Don't worry, your AI Editor is great anyway. 
@mellr0: Sounds like fun...  |
