Modding AI Files

[GaryChildress]

This is a good thread for modders to be aware of. May I recommend it be stickied to the top of the modding forum?

Yes ts a switch on exe and it appears in save file folder as a text file

[Dan Nichols]

Now I understand a bit more, it doesn't create a file for turn 1 it seems.
The file created says it is a land debug, is there an air and sea one also?

[Andy Mac]

The air data is in there as well

There is no naval one to look at the naval AI you need to load up the save the AI script controlling a specific tf is in the name of the TF

[Andy Mac]

Bump someone asked for this one

[Andy Mac]

Debugging became soooo much easier after Michael put which script is in control of a unit in the game made life a LOT easier no more requirmeent to use the debugger report !!!

And the AI script download ... HUGE help for me.

Andy:

If I create a new scenario from 004 Guadalcanal by copying it to Slot 026, I have a new file aei026.dat.

Within this new scenario I have created several scripts. All those scripts I assume are compiled within aei026.dat.

I assume therefore that the true AI can only select aei026.dat and execute the sequential scripts within.
Is this true?

Thanks,

Joe

yes I think so
