stoffe -mkb-'s improved AI (was Question about behaviors...)

Recommended Posts

I just DL'ed the new version and am ready to install. Will I have to edit the "st_inc_powers.nss" and the "spells.2da" files like I did in the older version

to get NPC's to use your HLFP's?

 

No, the installer should handle those things on its own. The only thing you may need to do manually is make it compatible with other mods made by others that modify the AI scripts, like the hardcore mod, that you may wish to use.

 

Script compatibility is one of the things I doubt the TSLPatcher installer will ever handle, since the format is too freeform and complex to automate merging of data in any reliable way (for someone of my programming skill at least).

What does the k_sup_grenade.ncs file do, exactly? It's one of the few files that did not have an nss file with it. Is it just a copy of the default one that comes with the game?

 

Asking because I've come across a Grenade and Rocket Damage mod that consists solely of a modded copy of this file. Wanted to know if throwing that in with this ImprovedAI mod will do Bad Things, or if it will work.

If I remember correctly it makes rocket and grenades a bit less useless by applying a bonus to damage and save DC that is tied to the Demolitions skill rank and character level of the grenade throwing/rocket launching character, and some other minor tweaks and changes.

 

If the NSS source code isn't included for it I must have forgotten about it. I'll dig around and see if I can find it.

Oh yes, I'm keeping that there. Muahahahahaha :vsd:

Well, I'm not planning on making any tweaks to the file at the moment, but thanks. :)

Okay this is a long way from the last post.

 

However, I'm having trouble using this AI mod. During install I get a log saying that there were 27 errors, though some changes have been applied, also got a following message that stated install most likely failed.

 

Now I followed the instructions to the tee.

 

Here's a copy of my install log, if anyone's out there willing to give it a look, I'd appreciate it.

I am surprised there isn't a thread for this in the Taris Upper City Emporium.

 

Me too... ol' Stoffe is slippin! :xp: -RH

 

I think I considered it more of a hack than a proper mod back then, so I never bothered to release it as a full mod. :) ~M

 

I almost split the last two posts off and merged them with the High Level Force Powers mod... oh how embarrassing that would've been.

 

P.S.Normal users can't see when we type in color, right?

Hello!

 

Is there a way to use the Improved AI mod without installing the High Level Force Powers?

 

I am very interested in the first but not in the second. I read around (http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filefront.com/file/Improved_AI;68905x#1000323 - Description by Inyri) that despite what the read me says, Improved AI would work even without High Level Force Powers installed.

 

It would be great if stoffe could shed some light on this?

 

Thanks!

I will answer, with no disrespect to the stoffe....

 

Yes, it works fine without HLFP. There are actually two versions of the AI mod, one made for use with HLFP and one for without.

 

Surprised you missed it, Salk ;)

 

EDIT: btw tk102, if you ever stroll through this lane again.... yes, we can see when you type in colours :p

Hello Qui-Gon Glenn!

 

Thank you for your answer and sorry for returning to this so late.

 

I actually searched this matter before asking here on the Forum because there were opposite statements about this mod's compatibility with the game without HLFP. The latest version (the one using the installer) requires the HLFP mod to work, according to its readme file written by the author.

 

But also the older version (Improved AI (2.1b2)) requires the same!

 

So which version should I use, if both are flagged as compatible to the game only if HLFP is installed first?

 

Thanks again for your help!

 

P.S. By the way, do you know of any other mod that does something similar (AI upgrades) for Knights of the Old Republic?
