Hi all,

Been using the AI scripts most of the time but it seems the spellcaster ones are not that effective.

For example, for my Wizard if I put it as Wizard Defensive, it would only seem to cast Stoneskin (as a Defensive spell - this is good) but when it's time to attack it only uses Magic Missile (I have the other higher lvls spells memorised - Fireball, Acid Arrow, Flame Arrow etc).

Same goes for the Druid/Cleric, only attacking spells the AI would cast is Insect Plague.

Another example is when using the Druid Summoning AI they don't summon the elementals.

I done a standard install and it has introduced a lot of new AI scripts, but for casters it doesn't work that well.

Any one else had better luck?

Also been searching on Google on new scripts to install, found this site (http://www.sorcerers...dex_editors.php) wondering if it's safe to install (taking into account BWP adds tons of new spells).

Or if anyone has any custom scripts tailor made for BWP would be great.

Thanks.

Is that the SCSII's installed one? Cause if it is the SCSII's for example, you need to use hotkeys to "activate" the defenses. It would probably be good if you would read all the Party AI providing readmes... if you are going to use them that is.

Many of the scripts you have installed may have bogus spell references. The uscripts that you linked to are pretty good and will work for BGT as well (same spells). Once you get comfortable with what you want you may try making your own.

You can also edit the BS (party scripts) in NI and possibly change some of the missing or bogus spells. It may be fun that way and you don't have to start from scratch.

If someone gets around reworking the BPMage script to be more compatible with all the spell mods in the BWP, hot dawg I'll be eternally grateful :Bow:

RR (or aTweaks') has a great Thief and Bard script :coolthumb:

And the Fighter, Ranger, Cleric scripts in the BPSeries are great too :P

The problem is only the mages, too many spells, too many enemies, not enough AI :D

Cheers,

Thanks,

Will try the uscripts and search for the Big Picture ones when I get home.

Going to also try to find some tutorials on editing the AI scripts and hopefully share it with you all if I make a decent Mage one.

Always been facinated on trying to make my AI work into a monster killing machine!

Wish me luck!

Ok, been trying to install the bpseries_35_07_16_09 (BP AI Script - http://www.shsforums.net/index.php?showtopic=41523) using the Setup-BPSeries in my main game folder and this is the error log (please see file attached).

I also tried copy/paste method for a previous version (http://uk.geocities..../BPSeriesv3.zip) that had the *.bs files. What I tried to do is copy/paste the *.bs to my scripts folder and the rest (*.baf, *.bcs, *.cre) into my overrider folder.

Not sure this was right, was just experimenting.

Loaded the game, scripts work! But always crashed when going into battle.

Note: I would have liked to try manual install the bpseries_35_07_16_09 version but it doesn't look like it has any *.bs files for the script folder.

Hi,

Been away from BWP for quite a while.

Does anyone know if there's been any updated AI scrips made for BWP?
