[Request]Merged AI pack

Ok If somone would do this for me,It would be great.

What i want Is an AI pack that contains all Available AI's that work with patch 3260...

I will put a list here,But if you do this for me make sure you have the creators permission.

Sorian/Jaws2002 AI

Thirdlawplus AI

Duel AI

Tortuga and Bean AI

Brent_AI

If you know any more AI's please tell me.

Also if it is not to much trouble upload to the vault.

Pm me if you will do this for me.|||newestguy1|||There has been a merged pack since March (I think).|||Is that merged pack on the vault?(I cant check right now).|||newestguy1|||Ok i have downloaded the merged pack is that the latest version of all the mods?

Also it seems confusing to add HAL to the pack.|||Adding HAL is not required, but it is very easy. I would merge it myself but Giskard (the author) wont allow it.



I try to keep the merge pack as up to date as possible. As of right now it is up to date except for the Duel AI. Duncane has just released a new version that will be included in version 2.7 of the merge pack (due out soon). I just recently came up with my own version of the Ghetto Gunship code that I think he will like so I am giving him a chance to check it out first.



Gamedata mods cannot be uploaded to the vault at this time. GPG either needs to fix this issue or implement mod shadowing support before any AI mod can make it on the vault, unless I am completely missing something.



If someone knows how to do it, please let me know.|||Um...I tried to add Hal and i messed it up and had to reinstall the pack.

I want to use hal and pit it against sorian AI but i cant do it myself.

I need to get it in there some how but i cant do it myself.

So I have a problem.

I cant do it myself,and no one else can...maybe giskard will reconsider?|||Not even sure if he is still playing SC. He hasn't updated since June/July. If he gives permission I have no problem doing it, otherwise someone else is going to have to.|||I made a .pdf instruction manual on how to add HAL. It has pictures that may help. I will be including it with the next version of the merge pack.

Permission to merge HAL is not given and will not be given, not after the crap i got for giving stuff away for free. Also to merge it HAL using the method above is to chop hals frontal lobe off so it looks like a Sorian AI.



Its a carefully ballanced AI that needs all its files, if you just drop some because you dont think they are important you end up with HAL 0.2 The Halfwit. Which may make sorians AIs look good but they do nothing to make HAL work right.



But i guess thats what Sorian wants....



Also HAL and the Epic warfare mod are designed to work together and are completed mods for fans of the TA style tactical games and not the command and conquer style rusher games.



They are also not being updated anymore because users of this forum made sure it was not fun to make mods for them. I now make mods for games that are fun to mod and enjoying the mod making process once again.



Enjoy.



PS, dont expect an answer, i only came here today because somebody pm'd me.



Giskard|||Damn Giskard you have a grudge against Sorian. You two were both making AI mods and it seems like Sorians AI got more popular? Is that a reason to be so mean and insult the whole modding community of supcom?





oh and:

"Permission to merge HAL is not given and will not be given, not after the crap i got for giving stuff away for free."



what do you expect when modding?



ps: i'm sure you'll be reading the answers to your post.|||Merging the HAL pack using the instructions I have given in no way changes the default behavior of the HAL AI.



Anyone here can tell you: that is not the way I operate.



I am not here to deceive anyone. I have gone out of my way to create and maintain a working merge pack so that users do not have to choose which AI to run, but instead can run them all at the same time.



Giskard, if you do not want your AI included that is fine. I have no problem with that nor do I hold any grudge against you for choosing not to allow your AI to be merged. But, please don't pretend it is because you feel I would intentionally gimp your AI. In all the time the merge pack has been available I haven't had a single complaint from any AI author with the exception of you.|||I for one want to thank Sorian for the excellent support he's given the game and it's AI. Without his AI, I would have probably stopped playing the game long ago. My recommendation, with Giskard's attitude, forget toally about his AIs. There's plenty other AIs out there that perform better anyways...|||Wow. Well, I had a lot of time for Giskard when he started modding for SupCom, but he kind of lost that (what was left - after his temper-tantrum about people needing to register on his website) about a second into me reading that post.
