Re: Generic AI sets
hmmmm.....dog ships....maybe, if I get time I could try...
as for the AI....me no great AI wizard but I know the basics...general AI no biggy but racial trait ones could be a bit of work, especially reasearch and designcreation...

Re: Generic AI sets
I was looking for nice shipset to play with AI for Proportions. Could I use one ?
Yes, it would be completely incompetiable with standard SE, but it could be inclided in next Proportions mod.

Re: Generic AI sets
John,
If these races have pre Gold AIs, xhy not rather just patch them to Gold ? They will then keep their previous "behaviour".
The process is tedious if done by hand (copy/paste chunks of data) but quite fast anyway (I did 10 of them for B5 mod in say 20 minutes...), and a just graduated (or even ungraduate) programmer could automatize that - I'm just out of time and tools for this  but can make some manual tweaking.

Re: Generic AI sets
Erm, no.
I have shipsets which were made before SE4 was released. Ones which have the AI state of an amoeba...
For the benifit of other people, I want a generic AI set! Lets see.. 24ish fleets on my site, half without se4 Gold ai.. and then I've got 100 zipfiles, of various Versions of fleets uploaded.. No, I won't be sorting them out anytime soon. They need completely scratch built AI sets..
I thought it'd be easier if there was a generic library of races AIs that could be made. Then I could leave the AI creation to site visitors, and credit them with making the AI for existing fleets. . . and everyone wins.
So whos can help?
I need 'An AI Set'. Simply text files which have been genericfied, and then labelled as 'Organic'.

Re: Generic AI sets
Why don't you copy AI from original shipsets such as Xi'Chung for organic and Phong for crystalline.

Re: Generic AI sets
Seems like what is needed is are two Groups of files. One group would be sets of research/design/construction and possibly settings files for different race types (organic/psychic/normal/etc.) The other group would handle political characteristics and be made up of the politics/anger and maybe the general file (minus descriptions). The second set would give you flexibility for friendly or hostile, aggressive or not so aggressive, etc.
I can try to put together some sets of the first group fairly easily (I think I have all of them but temporal pretty much set up already). The politics side is much more difficult for me. If someone is a politics master maybe they can volunteer to put some of those together.
