Great. Tested and it works fine. Adjusted links at relics forum accordingly.

@Corsix

Next release please the text NOT centered. The buttons more white on mouseover, not darker. But, good work!

And I'm not in the readme file...

Didn't have much time to check out the mod, but the bare 10 minutes I played, I definitely noticed a change for the better.

Now, I'm also having problems with saving games. When I try to, the game tells me I don't have enough disk space, even though I have 8.47 GBs free.

Here's the log:

Not the slightest idea how it should be mod related.

[ShadowB]

It's definitely related to the mod, since I've just tried to save in the normal Winter Assault and it worked without any problems.

[ArkhanTheBlack]

It might have something to do with the global variables in the skirmish AI script. They must be saved, too. Maybe he has a problem with that. After my experiences with resetting global variables in the middle of the game, I wouldn't be surprised if the saving of globals is buggy, too. I alomost never save a game, therefore I don't know. Just an idea...

[LarkinVB]

After my experiences with resetting global variables in the middle of the game, ...

Can you explain this a bit more, Arkhan ? Which variables are reset ? Example ?

[thudo]

In regards to DoW/WA and saving - my opinion, don't.

About 90% of the DoW/WA games should be in the 10-30min mark. With all our variables flying around yer likely not gonna be saving and restoring properly. When you try to load a saved game recently saved under the use of our AI, the turret addons, for example, all go to Tier1 or Rocket upgrades. Can't be helped. Thats our randomizer. Yes its a shame but what to do? Fortunately, most DoW/WA games don't last so long to make this a save/restore issue.

[ArkhanTheBlack]

Oops! Last post was mine. (Wasn't logged in)

[Corsix]

Anyone been having the problem of trying to install and nothing happens? Ive downloaded both the "Dawn_Of_Skirmish_v1[1].5_AI_Mod_Install.exe" and "DoWWA_AI_Installer.exe" versions but nothing happens when i try to use them. ANyone know what might be goin on?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

More details would be nice - where you downloaded from, your OS, your memory and H/D size, your user level (admin,power user or user) etc.

[thudo]

Thats excellent, Arkhan.. that was Corsix's older LP/Turret addon randomizer scripts. So your saying you've corrected the save bug while maintaining the random script system for the LP/Turrets? How much of the scripts have changed to correct this?

[ArkhanTheBlack]

I've no idea if this fixes the save bug now. The save bug - global variables relation was just a theory.

The rewrite of this routines is only a small part of my changes. You probably didn't read my post about the control programs. A lot has changed, but not because of the post/turret routines! At the end of the week I'll be probably finished with my changes and will present the results.

[Malkor]

Thudo> Actually, many of my games rarely last bellow 30 minutes, most often well above an hour. Not that I'm complaining, I hate rushing games. I've not once needed to save, though. I have all my life to waste testing Ai and drinking coffee.

Edited by Malkor, 17 October 2005 - 07:29 PM.

[thudo]

I guess I was talking about human vs human games which don't take long. AI is good at War Of Attrition games.

Arkhan - I look forward to your work. Its very cool to see someone else also interest in the DoW/WA AI !

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Exactly. My games also last more than half an hour. You don't really enjoy the game if you beat the enemy in 10 minutes. I know human vs. human games are very short, but even the word "Skirmish" is in the mod's name, so I assume it was done thinking mainly in skirmish games. I hope this will be fixed. If it's too complicated or time consuming I can live without such fix, but only if those conditions are met.
