If you're probably wondering why your AI is a bit messed up, looking at temperatures, or values being negative in the census, or planets being messed up when a colony is dropped, or even the timer going down when its not supposed too, it is most likely because you forgot to add edit the races. Make sure to always read the dev log at
www.stellarfrontier.net if you are a modder!
I've added a new value which defines the AI population. Basicly, if you have a mod, you really need to change your race file! For example:
*
* name id home dt debstart
aipop temp atmP grav bonus col% condition
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arcean 0 Titan 20 0
10 170 0.50 0.5 5000 60 "hold (Mercury,Venus,Earth,Luna,Mars,Callisto,Io,Ganymede,Europa,Titan,Rhea,Phobos,Deimos) planets for 5 minutes"
Terran 1 Earth 20 1*
10 300 1.00 1.0 5000 80 "hold (Mercury,Venus,Earth,Luna,Mars,Callisto,Io,Ganymede,Europa,Titan,Rhea,Phobos,Deimos) planets for 5 minutes"
Drengin 2 Mars 20 2*
10 240 0.50 0.3 5000 60 "hold (Mercury,Venus,Earth,Luna,Mars,Callisto,Io,Ganymede,Europa,Titan,Rhea,Phobos,Deimos) planets for 5 minutes"
Pirate 3 Ceres 20 1*
2 300 1.00 1.0 5000 30 "hold (Mercury,Venus,Earth,Luna,Mars,Callisto,Io,Ganymede,Europa,Titan,Rhea,Phobos,Deimos) planets for 5 minutes"
As you can see here, I've specified 32 AI total to spawn considering I have specified 32 robots total in the scn/dat files. Basicly the value is 10 per race, except pirates, which get 2. I've modified the race data to give an error in the log when you do not add it, but you need to have logging on (use the -log param for frontier.exe.)
If you want AI to be random spawning like before (It was basicly random picking.), then set this value HIGHER then the current robots value in your dat/scn file. Otherwise, make sure the amount of AI spawned = the robots specified.
I do have a modders zone at
www.stellarfrontier.net, but I know it is hellish messy. If someone wants to take it and edit it then let me know, otherwise I'll edit it so that it states each version and what was changed for all you modders rather then cramming it into one page.
