SE4 AI 101 or Editor?

Urendi Maleldil · #1 May 28th, 2004, 04:15 PM

I'm building a new mod, but I've completely redone the tech tree. I wrote new AI research and design creation files from scratch, but I sure wish there awas an easier way to edit them.

Does anyone know of an AI 101 modding reference like the SE4 Modding 101? (which has been a great help, by the way)

Or is there an AI modder that will speed things up? I tried editing the AI in DavidG's modder, but there are some bugs. I lost an entire research file when the thing wouldn't save.

No, what he meant was is there an AI tool that works and is easy to use as Davids modder is with the other files.

There are sections for AI modding, but it isn't easy and there are a few really big bugs.

Editing the files by hand was very time-consuming and required a lot of repetition. I also made a few mistakes cause I don't know how everything works.

Maybe some of you intrepid programmers out there might want to think about this. It would be a great aid in terms of modding. If the AI was easily moddable, then there might be more variation, and maybe even a better AI developed for the games.
