Default Re: Any Guide in making an AI?

Someone once made an AI Design Spreadsheet in Excel that would build an AI for you. Perhaps one of the more knowledgable designers would provide a link and comment on its strengths and weaknesses.

Try this link. Most of the info is still valid.

The AI-Sheet from Atraikius is here:

I updated the AI excel sheet that is posted this morning. The AI_ConstructVehicle section has been changed, and an AI_Speech has been added (anyone remember those Mad Libs from the 80's). There are still some errors from typo's that will show up in the game, and the most of the files are rather messy yet. I'm working on updateing the entire thing, and adding some sort of aid for modifing the files by hand (like the DesignCreation sheet I did).

Great, I'll wait a while before I start on this, too busy now anyway.

Atraikius: I am a bit dense, how does one save the individual files generated by your AI aid?

Pathfinder - just copy the 'A' column, and past it into notebook or wordpad (as text file).

One thing to pay attention to with the file right now is that the Construct_Vehicle file calls for Satellite 1 & 2, Weapon Platform 1 & 2, and Fighter 1 & 2, while I hadn't gotten to updateing the design creation file to match yet. You will need to do a find/replace on one of the two files until I finish updateing that part of it.
