Error with AI settings upon starting a new game - Page 2

The problem appears to be that I've found the absolute latest Version of the Vandron shipset+AIs that I can find, but Vandron_AI_Construction_Units.txt is MIA. Following the instructions in your sig...

Antra: Make sure that any AI_construction_Unit file has a line at the top about "Percentage of Resources To Reserve For Unit Construction := X" where X is a number. Ran into that myself with an AI missing that line.

Will do. Still doesn't help the fact that the supremely awesome Vandron shipset has NO AI_Construction_Units.txt

Do as I do...get permission to copy another and modify that one for the Vandron

Any suggestions? By default they're a peaceful, honorable, religious race who breathes vaccuum

Well, for that particular file I don't believe it really matters but if it does, I recall the TDM Narn to be religious, honorable (not sure how peaceful tho' ).

Well, how about "friendly"

. I'll copy over the Narn traits.

Turns out it was the AI_Settings, but I forgot to follow an earlier poster's advice and shorten the names. I mean I did, just Program Files/SE4, but the name of the mod directory was too long. It was indeed AI_Settings, and I copied the Abbidon because they had the same Personality Group settings. I now realize that, in the absence of such things as AI_Construction_Units, the default AI files will be used. So this worked. Thanks everyone! I've learned a lot

That's how I learned
