First, I'd like to refer to the following thread: http://forums.revora...showtopic=31097
As a quick summary, I asked how to install the DoW/WA AI -files by overwriting the vanilla AI entirely, rather than using the mod -manager as if I wanted to switch between them constantly. As if I for some atrange reason wanted to still play with the vanilla AI when I already had a better one, if you know what I mean. And most annoying of all, I had to rearrange the locations of all my custom textures, banners and so on.
But to get back to that thread; I asked the following:
"So how do I make it so that it replaces WA's native AI? What folder(s) is it in?"
And my answer read:
"Copy the data folder from (DoW)\dowai_mod\Data to (DoW)\wxp\Data."
Now this is where my first question comes in. The answer wasn't as clear as I'd have liked it to. Simply put, I directed the installer to a new folder I had simply called "AI", and placed in my desktop for me to instantly find it. In the folder, I found these items: Two icons, one green icon for the mod itself, and another green one for the uninstaller. A file called "Dowai.module", another two files/icons apparently related to the uninstaller as well. And lastly, a folder called "Dowai_mod".
So I went into the Dowai_mod -folder, and found a folder called "Data". Next, I entered the THQ/Dawn of War/WXP, and in WXP, I found an empty folder called "Data". Now; was I to take the entire "Data" -folder from the manually made "AI" folder in my desktop and place it inside the empty Data -folder in the WXP -folder? Or simply overwrite the empty one with the new one? Or What?
And secondly, I'd like to refer to this thread: http://forums.revora.net/index.php?showtop...;.\.\.
Basically, a step to achieve more humanlike AI is to have the AI -forces "dance" away from melee -assaults. That always annoyed me. Not because I didn't like that it got harder this way, but because it was entirely devoid of the 40K "coolness" I had more or less bought the game for. I got a receipt on how to disable this disgusting dancing. As you can see from the thread, that didn't go entirely without complications.
And I quote myself:
"So... how do one deactivate it?"
"Locate the file "Infantrytactic.ai in Dowai_mod/Data/ai/tactics folder.", sounded the answer. So, well, obviously, my files aren't in that folder. Like I said, I placed it in the WXP/Data -folder istead, like I was adviced. Instead I went to where I had installed it. That is, WXP/Data/Ai... STOP THE PRESS! In the "ai" -folder, there are no "Tactics" -folder like he said! So, now, what do I do? Well, there is a folder called "Tactics" inside a folder called "Core". But will it have the same effect?
So my questions are: "Have I manually installed the mod correctly? Do I even have it installed at the moment?", and "How do I actually change the AI dancing when the folder seems to be misplaced?". Thanks.
PS: I hope this wasn't too confusing to read. But I am extremely tired when I write this.
