Steel Legion + Inquisition AI

[SoshiK]

Quick summary: -for Soulstorm- Inquisition AI (cpu_manager & utility) and Steel Legion AI don't match at all. Suggestions?

Long Story: Alrighty then, so I've combined several mods into the Inquisition Daemon-Hunters mod (for my Soulstorm game). Beautiful mod, it is. But I wanted to tweak it here and there with weapons and new troops, so I combined parts of other mods into it. And it works great.

Now... my one true enemy is the Steel Legion Mod, I love that mod to death, but it and the Inquisition seem to despise one another.

I've been transferring things here and there to see what works and what doesn't (yes, try and fail method... whatever works). And though everything else has transferred beautifully, the biggest problem of all: NO AI for Steel Legion.
And once I get the Steel Legion AI to work, the Inquisition AI refuses to work then the game crashes.

...I'm not familiar with ai scripting... and before I stacked my head with information and drowned myself with information to figure this out, I was wondering if you guys (and gals) could help me out with a "shortcut"/"quickfix"/"push-in-the-right-direction".

I've singled out the utility.ai and cpu_manager.ai files as the true opposing factors.

So simply: How do I make it that the two mods work together - how can I make both factions run their AIs in skirmishes? Thank you~!!!

I just loaded up my old personal mod that has both of those mods and had a 3-way battle between me vs. IDH vs. Steel Legion. Worked just fine. So I don't think that is your problem.

Try making a folder called My_Mod and a file My_Mod and save it as a module (use notepad) for the text in the file put this in

[global]

UIName = A quick mod
Description = $16021001
DllName = WXPMod
Playable = 1
ModFolder = My_Mod
ModVersion = 0.01
TextureFE = Art/UI/Textures/Title_winter_assault.tga

DataFolder.1 = Data

ArchiveFile.1 = IDData 

RequiredMod.1 = objective_points_SS
RequiredMod.2  = Inquisition_Daemonhunt_SS
RequiredMod.3 = Steel_legion_DC
RequiredMod.4 = DXP2
RequiredMod.5 = W40k

Worked for me, just tried it.

A Combiner mod for Soulstorm is likely in the works, somewhere..

Getting mods to work together is actually pretty easy as Marstone pointed out above.

Glad you love Steel Legions and DH_ID but have to tell ya: the nearing-release of Steel Legions and DH_ID for Soulstorm are sooooo much better. Hang tight.. release is soon now.

I know I know, so soon, but I HAD to.

Thanks a lot guys. ... ^^; Never knew it was that easy, actually. Still new to this stuff.

Oh, quick question: After creating the folder - should I place anything inside the folder?
...and if there are any repeating lua files (same name, different content) within the combined mods, should I get rid of one before deciding to combine?

Thanks again!

It's not needed to place anything thing in the folder, it is only for tweaking to your liking, but if you like to do assassination mod, you will need a new scar file for that.

Ah okay, got it. Thanks. Awesomeness!

It failed to work once I tried switching to it but I think I know what's wrong with it. Thanks again!

is there an installer for daemonhunt race?

[thudmeizer]

Wrong topic bro.. but yes the forthcoming IDH for SS will have its own installer similar to SL's.
