That's good info!

There are more bugs like this, as you may know, only the vanilla china side will build mines - the other three china gens won't do it because EA told teamSkirmishChina to use the mine upgrade and NOT the corresponding general skirmish team!

Furthermore in the "China Behavior: Helix Attack" script the helix is told to hunt using the napalm bomb commandbutton EVEN THOUGH the helix's INI hasn't got a CommandbuttonHuntUpdate...

I've been thinking about implementing an "AI platform" or "template" in which all known bugs are fixed .. maybe there could even be some rather major enhancement like Akkrand's development of the dynamic attack path system.. Have to think about that

[Mithril]

What! thats a doubly nested error!

Hmm I think I've just found another bug: the nuke general is told to buy the uranium shells and nuclear tanks upgrade, while the Nuke_ChinaNuclearMissileCommandSet has none of these upgrades..

[Sc4Freak]

Vanilla USA's scripts has a script telling skirmishamericaairforcegeneral to upgrade control rods, and in the GLA's scripts to fire generals powers it tells the AI to fire the gps scrambler instead of the sneak attack.

Hmmm... that with the Firebase is not a Failure, i played so often against the USA and on Hard Difficulty they ALWAYS put a Team of 4Missile Defenders in all their Firebases....

The Thingy with the NukeGen and their Uranium Shells and Nuclear Tanks Upgrades is because the WGShells and the Fusion Reactors are cut from ZH, as you should well know DeeZire

Uhm wait a minute, I said this..


Vanilla USA will garrison their firebases, the USA generals won't because.. well read his post


Good info here! Am I mistaken or are all the garrison scripts from the generals screwed too - thudo once said something about them being completely useless..

-The Infantry general is told to upgrade to nationalism (which it has) instead of patriotism
-The SWG wants to get composite armor
-AI players cant research MOABs properly 99% of the time for some reason
-The AI comes with priority sets for almost every unit but berely uses them, it also comes with a script for rushing that seems to be ignored by all but the GLA.
-Dozers are programmed wrongly so they try to build a building and it remains at 0% for ages

But the biggest, most game destroying one in my opinion:
-Planes use attack paths LOL!!!!
Its sooo funny... auroras are not invulnerable when following paths, planes use up their ammo on the way and still proceed to attack with no ammo left... in some maps they stop midair and do 90 degree turns!! you need 3 quad cannons to stop all planes as they will always come through a rail-like waypoint line and stop flying a lot of the time.
But thats not all...

-AI cant get its own oil derricks at base because they arent in the combatzone
-AI can only get to one oil derrick at a time
-They have some 40 scripts/teams dealing with the garrisoning of at most 2 buildings in only SOME maps while most gens wont ever garrison buildings other than those (or fail miserably to do so in some maps with infantry outside the building in a tight pack)
-Some USA gens have teams with pathfinders even though they dont appear in the gen power list
-They cant use flame wall, laser lock, helix bombs, most hero powers, combat drop, gps scramble (properly) etc etc
-Gla gens have scripts to build tunnel networks near the enemy base that dont work (once again inviso AI unit would help)
-Instead of checking every x seconds for building control rods, lots of scripts have that in them and the AI screws up and ends up with power shortrages while buildings its own base...
-AIs wont use neutron mines
-The AI uses paratroopers, IN LATE GAME, ON THE ENEMY BASE. This could be filed as generosity but i will go for bug...
-The AI will spend all its money. Great! Rebuilding? uhh ohhh uhmmm...
-Auroras will fire 2 (yes 2) bombs a lot of the time they attack using waypoints
-Demo bikes hit single infantry when attacking
-AI doesnt use inferno cannons? (ok they are crap but still...)

Guess that will do for the time being... just about of these i have already fixed, all the others can be done as well...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, but he re-enabled the WG and Fusion Reactors in Pro:Gen for ZH, which made me do that too, i fixed the Scripts too for that
Nah, all USA Factions are garrison the Firebases. But you know that my Scripts are a bit surprising for no Reason, remember about the GLA Worker building a Demo Trap near Tech Buildings, which you said is not usual

This with the MOAB is really confusing, i never saw the AI use it.... they always just use the Daisycutter and if they use it, it appears right at the Spot where to drop the Bomb...

-AI doesnt use inferno cannons?
-AIs wont use neutron mines

My AI does use them.... and that annoying often...
The most sickening Bug of all is that the AI USA MD's can use their Laserlock to Infantry and Buildings too....

[Lion]

Neutron mines? ive never ever seen it, and infernos (well the ? sign is there for a reason)
I wouldnt even call that a laserlock though... id call it DOOM! the range over a screen away lol

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

mmmmhh..... it can be that i re-added the N-Mines my own, don't remember atm I enabled every single Upgrade for the AI that they can posses
That Issue with Alexis wanting Composite Armor is because she has actually a Paladin in their Arsenal Which I made buildable for her too

Hehe DOOM seems appropriate somehow for that

[Lion]

oh and i forgot a funny one
-Stealth general builds demo bikes!!

[Cammy]

LOL

Yes, this is what i saw too But only in GC....

[Cammy]

I said that the WGShells and FR's are cut in ZH actually, and that is a Fact, isn't it?
I know that my Scripts are really weird, but that started with downloading the sorted SkirmishScripts.scb from SDI

[Mithril]

I'm going to (attempt!) to make a bugless SkirmishScripts.scb for ZH.. as such, I will need a list of bugs to kill. here it is - feel free (by all means) to suggest much more.
