I tryed once to remove this [@], but I get IE...or maybe it was only an Quit-to-Desktop...but was something bad, anyway... don't remember if when I started the game, or a little later...
But maybe the error had nothing to do with [@]...don't know... I didn't insisted "playing around" with it...

Originally, [AIGenerals] is still here while its content has been commented. What I'm wondering now is : is it enough to prevent the engine to use the AIGen logic ?

Its better to write your own AI rather than 'borrow' somebody elses - mainly because only the original author can truly know how his AI works, so using someone else kinda defeats the object of writing your own.

I spent some serious time and effort on the Deevious AI, please leave it as mine

Sorry!

Please, wait a second DZ !!

Can you tell us more about the mysterious [@] section ?

Damn, I'm doomed. I don't have "serious time"... damn I say again. *Ponders* "will my mod ever have AI?"

IIRC Im sure it was leftover code from the Dropship Loadout feature of TS - in the absence of any predefined codes in the map file, the [@] section in the AI.INI file was used instead. I think I left it in as part of trying to get Chrono Reinforcements to work, which relied on the same logic.

(Remember this, people...if we ever need the One here again, just try to take away his stuff )

Understood. Thanks DZ !

I'm seriously thinking of making an AI Writer program, which will randomly create TaskForces, TeamTypes and Triggers using existing Scriptypes and write a functional ai(md).ini file with mod units. This will save a lot of time for modders (especially me, who knows abt AI editing, but dont want to spend 'serious times' on AI editing). Think of it, u click a button and a new AI ini file is ready with hundreds of new TaskForces with hundreds of new triggers
