Is it possible to mix and match AI teams?
« on: February 20, 2011, 12:54:18 PM »
By that, I mean could I take a few Starcore bots, copy+paste them into a new team folder, and then have an AI team of just those robots?

As long as it is possible to create new teams, what you're talking about is also possible.
you must create a new team folder, the new entry in the file teams.txt and be sure the file bindings.py also lists your bots.
to learn a bit about that (create a new folder, how to bind) -> have a look at the file 'AIChart' in my sig (this is a cooperative work, i'm not the lone creator).
Warning  : save you RA2 folder first, if you fail modding your files, RA2 will crash !

However, in 'events' you can only fight bots from the 16 first AIed teams.
Changing the order of the teams so the first team Will become the 19th and the 19th the first is another challenge...

More or less I wanted to replace a few stock AIs with Starcore AI, without really adding new teams.
....As appearently my game goes crazy if I set the teams to 6 bots each, instead of the usual 3.
That would still be possible, right?

there's a chapter about 'replacing a AI bot with one of your own'. It's not so far from your need.
read, be sharp and try.
