what up scripters , Just wanted to pass on a program i made that saved me tons of time. I made an app that will allow you to take the AIDATA.ini and edit its layout visually. The app can also be used to edit the ini files ,but the best part is the building layout. heres my site , its under projects/projectedit.

Hot damn I love that site! I'll be testing the new APP in the morning and give ya feedback like I've been doing for 4 days now.

BTW.. I'd love to write a web site like that! Is it mostly done via a Web Designing APP using Flash or pure code with sound bytes attached? Just brilliant stuff! Quick and fast!!

sup man, yeah the site is all in flash. Its not to hard to make websites in flash , you can even add script to make it do more stuff , the script is like java script ive been messing with it for a while now not to hard to get a grasp off. Can help you out if you need it..

I found something rather... uhmmm.. unusual about your APP for designing base layouts.

What happens is this:

Say I create a building on the top left of the CC and ask the AI to build there. Then when I go into the game and watch the AI build he'll actually build it on the top-RIGHT side instead of the top-left! This happens, for example, as the Generic CHINA general.

What I do not understand is the GLA Demo General will build his buildings all over the place yet some will be fine (Ie. first ScudStorms while second one is either not built and AI goes and builds the 3rd one.. weird).

I think we need to reevaluate the app until Msakdillz is able to look at it. Right now it generally works but the placement of major buildings is causing my AI not to build Superweapons or GLA is unable to build more than one Blackmarket. Its wierd.

Anyway.. just to let ya know.. I'll quickly use the WB's BuildList tool and compare notes.

Hmm thats really strange! Even stranger than one experiment I tried when I wanted the AI to use dynamic base building - failed 50% but only so far. Had no time to perfect it so I left it.

Anyways I'm sure MD will fix that when he gets back. Which should be in two weeks.. wasn't it..?
