Horred,

Dont want to be responsible for feature-creep, but, if you are taking any requests for future revs of the mod, this replacement AI system ROCKS.

http://nwvault.ign.c...591604074.shtml

It has an ERF that replaces all the bioware AI scripts with pointers to these specific AI scripts, so you dont have to go edit every single creature once the scripts are massaged to work the way you want...

I play semi regularly on a server that uses it, and the improvements are really good. Things like:

*Creatures fleeing in the face of overwhelming odds
*Swapping out ranged weapons for hand to hand
*Intelligent selection of spells, including counterspells and dispelling
*Bashing down doors and crossing areas to get at fleeing PCs
*Targeting improvements (not always going for the nearest foe)

etc

Anyway, I have no clue whether importing this into the v7 (or soon to be v8) mod will make things go splat, and now that I have a server working fairly well, I dont want to blow anything up I cant fix

Thanks for all the great work!

If you look in the mod, you'll see that Jasperre's AI is already in there. I discontinued it for these reasons:

1) It caused ungodly lag when you had a group of spellcasters to fight
2) I got a bunch of scripting errors from it--it still needs work.

Overall, I would agree with you on the system. It is better. It doesn't replace the nw_c2 series--you have to do this yourself, or switch your creature's AI over. . Some of my earlier beta-testers (pre-release) can attest to this, and to why I removed it.

I havent opened the mod at all 'cept to add in that bit of scripting fixups for v7 you posted. The server I play on sometimes uses it, but they may have modified it themselves...not sure, cuz its a fairly big server (50+ users on 24/7) and they've been using it for a while now.

Oh well, thanks for replying.

Now back to work on v8
