AI Writers Needed!

[Fyron]

I need one or more people to help write AI for Adamant Mod. Who wants to volunteer? The job pays in eternal thanks and praises!

What does it involve?. Programming was part of my studies, but I was never very good at it .

It involves modifying AI scripts, which are placed inside Races folder. Most important and complex script files are RaceName_AI_Construction_Facilities.txt, RaceName_AI_Construction_Vehicles.txt, RaceName_AI_DesignCreation.txt, RaceNames_AI_Research.txt. Tweaking of RaceName_AI_Planet_Types.txt and RaceName_AI_Fleets.txt are quite important too.

Good thing is that script syntax is very simple, bad thing is that building good AI involves a lot of workarounds, non-obvious tricks and pseudohacks. Also don't expect to find comprehensive FAQs, HowTos and such - documentation is quite limited. Best way to learn AI modding is to grab mod with good AI (TDM, AIC, Trek_Bab, DevNull - those I have played) and start to read its scripts. Then modify something and see what'll happen.

Well since i already created 4 AIs for my own mod, i suppose i could create 1 one 2 for you as well, Fyron. You helped me alot, too.

[Fyron]

Which would you like to make?

[Ragnarok-X]

Well, i dont make. I would to create an organic race, but there is already one. I dont really like the magic one, so i guess i will create a physical race.
Tell me what kind of race you would like (i.e. the race should focus in what strategy or tech)

[Fyron]

All of the races in the mod need better AIs... any of them (save the Verdurans which Chronon was working on...) are up for grabs.
