I've been outta the loop a long time....

[GeneralStrife]

Last time I was here...we were just starting to hex edit mission files and someone messed around and made it so in practice one of the enemies was your ally....so we can do all that with bonafied editors now? anyone mind bringing me up to speed?

[GeneralStrife]

So I've been editing dune to make it so the mercenaries have been present with the ordos through the whole campaign. It's successful kinda...I wish they would build. I gave them power, refineries, construction yard brracks etc. they wont train either. Or can we not do this yet?

You need to enable AI for them, currently we do this by copying AI from other missions.

Humm and how do I do that?

Copy a .misai file from a house by saving it in that program. Then load it into the mercenaries.

Basically pick a side in a mission which has AI, then export that side's AI to a .misai file and import that file into the slot you want.

Side indexes are:

0 - The Atreides

1 - The Harkonnen

2 - The Ordos

3 - The Emperor

4 - The Fremen

5 - The Smugglers

6 - The Mercenaries

7 - Sandworm

Using Dune advanced mod if that helps

Not sure to be honest, try restoring the original mission files.
