Tactical AI Mod v20120513 (for CoH 2.602)

[Quitch]

So the newer version is an AI mod and a few tweaks to CoH as well? Balance tweaks?

Sorry if I'm being a bit slow, just trying to understand.

[LarkinVB]

Please do not add skin changes to your mod. I want to play your latest AI but do not want new skins.

You can change or remove any skin in TAI to using your skills.

Hello,

It would be nice to improve snipers, because each time they are hurt, they return to their HQ and this is often unjustified.
I don't know if that possible, but here are some basic suggestions:

- If hit by a vehicle, armored or artillery/mortar, immediately return to the HQ.
- If hit by infantry at very close range, immediately return to the HQ.
- In others case, if hit and health less than 40-30%, stop fire, retreat and heal.

I will try... but please don't expect that.

The snipers have a sort of auto-retreat 'no-matter what' value set that is most effective at keeping them in play. Asking anyone to do better with this would likely be a waste of time and coding time. Best bet is to simply lower that retreat percentage. I'd suspect Azooma probably already did that.

[AGameAnx]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think snipers, just like lieutenants (leaders), British HQ trucks and Goliath RC bombs, are special units which aren't affected by too many conventional settings at all.
As far as I'm aware, to control these units properly, you need to either use a scar script or, more likely, take off their special unit status in their squad rgd and then make a very good set of tactic rules for them. In fact, you might also need a (hidden) retreat ability to control the retreat separately from other units. Controlling special unit auto-retreat isn't possible without this.

In fact, due to Relic AI sucking so much and lieutenants not retreating at all, we did make a special retreat ability for units to control the retreat of units in our mod and the actual retreat percentage for AI is set to 0. But yea, snipers still behave the same way they always would, regardless of normal retreat being literally disabled.

Azooma, I suggest you'd wait with releasing new versions more than a day, perhaps every week. Currently you are releasing a new version twice a day with 3 maybe 4 changes, which results in many double posts of your own as well as that nobody will keep downloading and updating so often..

[Azooma]

Thanks your suggestion. My impatience made that problem or bugs.

[TheVole]

Azooma how do I get the cheatmod working with this? I have it installed in the right folders, but it does not work ingame.

[Azooma]

Bacause cheat mod have some problem in multiplay, I was not include cheat stuff to TAI mod.

BumbleBeeTuna// You must change Tactical_AI_Mod.module to using editor.

And your shotcut' target must be changed for '-dev'.

[TheVole]

[slax]

Hi,

I still found a bug,
With Royal Artillery Support (British), in the Command Tree, I select 'Supercharge Artillery Rounds' first but after I can't select 'Overwatch Artillery' when I reach 2 other command points.
Old versions of TAI don't have this problem.

[Azooma]

Thank you guys...

And... CoH2......orz..... AI plz!!!!!!

[bzorglub]

Hello to all,
maybe a dumb question but is this mod: "Tactical AI Mod" needs any other mod or tool to work because
when I check the archive, I don't find same kind of files that on other AI mod like "Nurbsico Improved AI Mod" for exemple...
Files which describe ai behaviour and so on... Am I missing something or am I too old...
Thanks dfor your support.
BZ.

[Azooma]

That's files included in TAIData.sga

[bzorglub]

thanks for quick reply Azooma !
Cheers.

[tkoezw]

wow$$$$ thank you azooma this mod works great and its great way to prepare for pvp its like playing against a real player play against the normal ai is a waste of time and not as fun compared to tactical mod all i can say is get this mod and dont look back easy to install to.

[Quitch]

Does the AI respect fog of war, or does it have total map vision?
