A request/proposal to all AI modders

[Rexxx]

During the Last days there are several questions about AI-modding from people who - just as I did several months ago - search for general information to get a start.
There still exists this very helpful post from October 2001, the collected knowledge of the TDM-Modders. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...981;p=2#000019
If this post is revised and updated it will be a wonderful introduction/pool of knowledge for AI-modders.

Now my proposal or request to the "veterans" who contributed to the original thread: Would you be so kind to look through your post and - if necessary - update it?
Of course, all AI-modding newbies (just as me) should contribute and share their knowledge, too.
I don't think I can do this alone. It is not only a matter of limited time, I just don't know enough about all aspects of AI-modding (that was just confirmed in MB's AI contest) and - Last but not least - credit should be given where credit is due.
So, what do you think?

Maybe this just needs to get an update?

Don't hold your breath waiting for it but I recently started added the ability to mod the AI to my SE4 Modder program.

It's a very good site but does not help with AI modding. I will see what I can do but my time is very limited at the moment.

What about this, just for a quick solution maybe:
AI modding veteran takes one of his own ai.txt files and just places remarks about his idea/thoughts behind the according lines. Probably you could use a different color for the remarks.

Idea?
