SE4 AI 101 or Editor?
 
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.

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.
