The AI changes are coming along faster than anticipated, but there's still a ways to go...

CURRENT STATUS

Data files - 99% completed (pending proofread)

AI/race files - 15% (default AI in work - then conVersion of all 20 races http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif )

Image files - 100%

EDIT - Also, this marks my official promotion as Sergeant. I actually passed it this morning, but I still had to sew my third stripe on. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Isn't that what the "Combat Fighter Group Amount" lines in the Settings and Strageiges files does?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No. That has to do with how many get launched in a group in combat, not with how many can be in a stack. Also, it gets overridden by the strategy that ships are using, so it is a useless feature (except maybe for planets, but I think there are settings in the AI files so that AIs do not use the line from Settings.txt either...).

Quote:
- Scanner Jammer (in armor)
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Scanner Jammers only work outside of combat, and I don't think you can even click on an individual enemy fighter on the strategic map when they are in a group.

Quote:
- Auxiliary Control
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Units do not take damage to components, it is all dead or all alive. So, things like Aux Control are meaningless. They can not lose their "bridge" unless the fighter is destroyed.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">More minor points, but it will allow me to trim some stuff from the Components file.

Thanks for the input. I know I'm plowing ground that has been plowed before, and I appreciate the insights from the more experienced.

The default AI changes are done - and I hope that they will make the single-player Version at least tolerable until more experienced players can give their input.

CURRENT STATUS

Data files - 100% completed (but still mulling over how to tweak Torpedoes)

AI/race files - 20% (default AI done http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif - now comes converting all 20 stock races http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif )

Image files - 100%

All the beacons of our worlds are lit up in celebration! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif The data file changes are done, the AI's have been updated, and the game open has been run without any nasty error Messages cropping up! Now comes the acid test - a series of trial runs to Last at least through this weekend to test game play, AI adaptation, and search for any lurking bugs. Further progress reports will be posted as the Highliner Mod comes to life.

There is method to my madness. If my hard drive fails, I will lost at most a few minor changes to Adamant. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
