AI making me mad!

EmpirioN · 02-01-2005, 06:20 AM

RA2's AI editing should be pretty simple when u understand it. But no. :/

I cant make the AI build certain teamtypes at all! I do not get it, I have tried changing the priority many times, but no. Very rarely the AI uses those teams. Usually it only uses 2-4 different teams, whitch have priority set to 15.

This is the taskforce:

[0666685C-G]
Name=4 MM2MEC
0=4,MM2MEC
Group=-1

4x good old mammoth mk.II.
And the team type:

[06969723-G]
Name=super mechs Attack - H1
VeteranLevel=1
MindControlDecision=0
Loadable=no
Full=no
Annoyance=no
GuardSlower=no
House=<none>
Recruiter=no
Autocreate=yes
Prebuild=no
Reinforce=no
Droppod=no
UseTransportOrigin=no
Whiner=yes ;no
LooseRecruit=no
Aggressive=yes
Suicide=no
Priority=25 ;50 <---- What priority would the AI consider "highest"?
Max=2 ;1
TechLevel=0
Group=-1
OnTransOnly=no
AvoidThreats=no
IonImmune=no
TransportsReturnOnUnload=no
AreTeamMembersRecruitable=no
IsBaseDefense=no
OnlyTargetHouseEnemy=no
Script=0A667034-G ;0A667004-G
TaskForce=0666685C-G
- - -

- I dont know whats wrong with those. :scared:
I have tried all sorts of things. Is there some trick I do not know? Or is there a bug in the teamtype?

Please tell how can I get the AI to produce this teamtype more often.
And I have about 3 other teams what r almost always ignored by the AI.

Any help much apperiacted. Thx.

Check trigger probabilities, as those have more control over teams being created than teamtype priorities.

Hmm, thx DCoder.

...But where in the aimd.ini can I see the trigger probabilties?

lol check your rules file aswell, there are statements which specific, additional priority wieghting issues and also how long it takes to make a team..

It might also simply be, that the AI is killing off your team because the dissolve delay is too low due to high cost, high buildtime.

I like these threads, geniue newbees who actually need help.

EmpirioN · 02-02-2005, 09:29 AM

ok. But what about without the AI editor? AI editor won't open modified rulesmd and aimd.inis.

Damn, editing would be some much easier and faster with the AI editor.

- I thought the same thing, AlliedG. But for example. Soviets have a team with 8x apoc & 4 rhino tank. They make it pretty often.

What are you talking about? My V2 works with modified files just as well. Wouldn't be called an "Editor" otherwise.

EmpirioN · 02-02-2005, 10:45 AM

oh, then there's problem with the ini's, or something? I don't know for sure.
(I have tried few older versions, same problem)
First it asks my rules(md).ini ans when I point it to the AI editor, I get error message:

"This is not a valid rules(md)ini. file! Not loeaded."

Anybody got any idea? If I get the AI editor working, I won't be bothering u guys about this thing anymore.

Well, not much anyway.

DCoder · 02-02-2005, 11:16 AM

That error is only displayed when not all of these sections exist:
General
InfantryTypes
VehicleTypes
AircraftTypes
BuildingTypes
but without them, your rules would be incomplete/malfunctional...

EmpirioN · 02-02-2005, 04:56 PM

Thx again DCoder.

It works now. Now I start messing with the trigger probabilities.

- Oh, and the reason y it didn't work:

I had ";" and some text after the "VehicleTypes" - entry.
