Fighters cannot pick air targets??? - Page 3

The more important problem would be the 100-Unit-limit. The more countries you add, the less units you can give to each individual country.

That's right... you'd have to solve that problem first.
I wrote s.th. about it in the "gamemd.exe hacked" topic

i thought the 100 unit problem was solved already :/

Nah - someone just found a way around it, a long time back. The downside of it is the AI gets screwed up to an extent. You could theoretically have as many new units as you like - just make sure the last unit on the list has Techlevel=-1.

What exactly do we - or better: you - know about the 100-unit problem?
The more I know the better's the chance I can fix it...

When the [VehicleTypes]/[InfantryTypes]/[AircraftTypes] list contains more than 101 entries, and something from the interval [#102nd and up] is buildable, the AI builds them non-stop, ignoring the aimd.ini triggers. There is a mod (D-Day) which claims to have solved it, but they ain't sharing the ini coding for it.

Knowing something like that but not sharing it should be punished!

Anyway, I thought it only was an error for the [VehicleTypes], but as it also "works" for infantry and aircraft, it's not a mistake in the procedure where vehicles are loaded, but somewhere else...

They say they will share it once their mod will be released. (Not to sound evil, but I believe you'll crack this before they'll do that - they're putting trememdous amounts of work into it, resulting in very long devel time.)

One more thing to notice: Everything is fine - as long as you're human. All units after 101 work fine as they should. The only problem is the A.I. building the last-listed one again and again and again.

i.e. if you were only multiplayer-playing against humans, you could have 500 vehicles per side and there'd be no problem.

Hmm, sounds good. I wonder if there is a limit to the sound entries file. I am almost at 999 and then the list already has 1000+ until a certain number... I hope I can exceed that number.
