Generic AI sets
I have a ton of races which need their AI updating to SE4 Gold compatability.
I need a generic set of AI files that can be amputated into existing races. For this, at least 10 different AI sets, from which different parts can be used.
e.g: Temporal generic AI, Agressive AI parts, Defensive AI parts, Organic generic AI, etc.
These AI sets would then be stuck together with instructions to create an 'AI Starter Pack' for new racestyles.. or in my case for upgrading existing AI.
Can anyone help supply one or more generic sets for this worthy cause?
Even better: anyone want to take control of this project?
I'll be hosting the AI set on my site: http://universalshipyards.tripod.com along with a long list of ALL the fleets that need their AI upgrading. I need the generic set of AIs first before I can do this though.
Thanks for any help people can give.

Re: Generic AI sets
Yes, there are plenty of great races at the USy that are simply not displayed because of lack of AI scripts. Good example would be the United Flora empire, my most favorite by graphics but sadly lacking any AI to play with.

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.
