POST DEFINITIVE MODS/PROGRAMS HERE!!!

Pirates & Nomads Gold!

OK, for those who were asking about what they need to do to make their AI files compatible with Gold, I got permission from MM to post the relevant portions of the three files you need to change. Note these excerpts are from the AI default files and do not reflect my personal opinion on what the settings should be. That will vary from race to race. The are as follows:

(1) DEFAULT STRATEGIES DATA FILE
For each strategy, put the following three lines in at the end of each relevant section:

Type Priority Drones := XX (where X is the Last priority)

Dont Fire On Drones := False

Break Formation Drones := True

(2)AI DATA FILE - Settings
Add the following lines to the end

Ships don't move through minefields := false
Ships don't move through restricted systems := false
Clear orders on encounter enemy := false
Clear orders on encounter all := false
Percentage of total satellites to keep as planetary cargo := 40
Percentage of total drones to keep as planetary cargo := 40
Number Of Anti-Ship Drones Per Target := 3
Number Of Anti-Planet Drones Per Target := 3
Maximum Anti-Ship Drone Target System Distance := 5
Maximum Anti-Planet Drone Target System Distance := 5

(3)AI DATA FILE - Fleets
Add the following line to the end of the file

Percentage of Fleets to use for defense := 70

NOTE: Obviously the above changes will not enable the AI to actively use Drones and Drone Carriers, that can come later and is much more involved. But for now, these lines should prevent any errors from occuring.

Other members of the Gold beta test team, if I missed anything, please add to it here.

Thanks

Sadly, you'll have to count the Ultimate Mod out of the SE4 Gold. It's just too complex for me to bring up-to-code and create the images for the SE4 Gold.

Thanks Rollo, and TG for the info. I will finish the AI tonight, and add it to the Race. Also, the second race, The "Dopplegangers" will also be completed. (They are the sworn enemy of the UFA.


(Will edit this post and include links later.)

The United Freespace Alliance
-And-
The Doppleganger's

*(With Gold AI, [fingers crossed] and 1.49 AI.)

I think you could probably find someone to do work on teh mod to bring it up to date for SE4 gold and then let you check it to make sure it meets all your ideas. I woudl do it but i don't really have time. However, if it isn't done for spring break and im here with a ton of extra time (i doubt it) i woudl like to help fix it up a little, soem people could be given different parts, like a proofread.

I plan to release a new incarnation of the UM after SE4g is released.

Here are the Shadri Gold. They use the default Gold strategy file for now.
