Feda Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 The skirmish/LAN AI seems to be the atreides side in _PRAC.mis. I tried changing stuff, unknown bytes, hoping that I could make them build faster and/or from both light and heavy factories at the same time. Tried the things mentioned in THIS post, but I couldn't really see a notable difference. I did change byte 3 from 1 to 0, and they no longer built anything, just deployed MCV and moved the starting units, so changing this file does affect the AI, but for whatever reasons those changed bytes didn't seem to help. Anyone else tried this? Does someone have some time to test some of the bytes? A better skirmish/LAN AI would be quite nice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feda Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 I saw that the AI stops production when he is under 2500 credits, the only thing he would build are harvesters or crucial buildings (for example wind trap if he's low on power) or rebuilding a lost structure. I modified Habb erg II, added an Atreides AI (i changed some bytes, so it's custom) vs a Fremen AI (the basic Westwood skirmish AI). The player is Atreides, so his base is controlled by AI (which helps to see what AI is doing and how it was scripted). The Atreides AI managed to kill enemy in 3 big attacks, but the first attack had a lot more units than the enemy had in base; it literally was over after he first attack, but Turrets & other andom crap + AI's bad unit control required 3 attacks to totally end the enemy. So those bytes that sandworm suggested may have done something in AIs behavior, can someone else check this mission and confirm what i said? If you wanna test it, just make sure your AI's engineer won't capture enemy Conyard, and same with your own ConYard, don't let it be captured. You can select maximum one unit while your base is under AI control, so just use a trike or whatever to kill engineers and set your engineer to walk somewhere in the enemy base so he can get killed. I believe that skirmish AI/LAN AI starts with some sort of cash bonus, because this mission has 7000 for both AIs and they were building slower than in skirmish (because of the 2500 credit limit that I mentioned above). You can give them more money if u want them to build faster. Thanks for the help, for those who will join this :)A9V1.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminar Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I don't think the build order is in the prac.mis file.open it with hex editor.you will find things in the bottom of the file.I modded it and AI built less wind traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuclear_harvester Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 well i am wondering some things why there in data/maps folder are these mission .mis files in this folder? why we cant have prebuilt base in skirmish? is this hard coded in dune2000.dat ?

It's for multiplayer.. Having unlimited money, be it practice or multiplayer, is bullshit as there is no challenge. And those u mentioned can be done rather easily actually, just few minor edits in the .uil files. When I'm talking about skirmish AI, i'm referring to the multiplayer AI too, if I didnt make that clear till now, and mostly thats where I'm aiming at: making an AI that will be worth playing in a Comp Stomp mode (humans vs AI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
