Thats the spirit!

Yes, construction on one side, politics on the other..

If you could produce some examples of these, and pass them around, we could work on simple instructions on 'How to create an AI'..

I'll start posting them as soon as I can. I probably won't be able to do too much before the weekend, but if I can get something together sooner, so much the better.

Swell. Whenever is good, no time scale, these fleets have been waiting for many months already (and no one seems to have complained). :-x :-)

Hmm, i might try to do the politics part, i am not too bad at it.

But what kinds of races should be?
I see that each kind of race should have at least two kinds of AI files - 'heavy' and 'light', using technologies accordingly.

I am working on a utility to help make the *_AI_General.txt files. You will fill in various form fields and make characteristic and Advanced racial trait selections and it will format and generate an appropriate AI_General file. If I can get it working I will also have it verify that your selections for OPT1, OPT2, and OPT3 don't exceed the 2000, 3000, and 5000 racial point limits.

Should have something at least semi-usable by this weekend. It might go well with a library of various research, design, etc., files.

geoschmo, that sounds really cool, could be a great help.

I guess that it would save and load data straight from current AI files?

That means that several generic races would still be needed as examples, which could then be modified slightly?

whatever, a utility program will be a great help.

SEIV RACENAME_AI_General.txt file creator ver. 1.0

Download it here.

This utility will create a properly formated AI_General.txt file based on inputs that you give it.

Html and javascript. Runs in a browser window. I have verified it works with IE. If you have another browser and can't get it to work, let me know and I'll put something to that effect in the program notes.

Unzip it anywhere and double click on it. It should open in your default browser. You can follow the instructions on csreen from there.
