[SCRIPT] PiloteAI III.70 (28.09.08)

Azz · Post by **Azz** » Thu, 16. Aug 07, 22:18

yes, you are right,
there is no list of supplied ships, the targeted ship will be the only one supplied except if it is a leader, the tanker can in this case supply all its wingers in the same time.
Përhaps in a next update...

PilotIA 3.55

New features and also a complete refitting of the commands with a systematic usage of scripteds menus. As much commands as possible are now set in the various scripted menus:

Squadron Command
[ external image ]

Global Setup / Manage AI
[ external image ]

Communication with PilotAI
[ external image ]

ComIA Network
[ external image ]

A new shortcut is now available. It allows you to get direct access to the Squadron Command menu. I strongly recommends you to use it as much as possible.

- Merging of functions 'Extract / install AI' function.
- Merging of naming by base / sector / group function

- Some functions were voluntarily left in classic slots commands, thus, their usage will remain easy.

Adjustment: TL could not collect pilots
Adjustment: Time Reduction of the initialization of ComAI Network
Adjustment: Enhancement of low cpu usage by ComIA network

Translation of 'Ejection request transmited'

Change: When a squadron is told to protect a ship, or yourself, energy suppliers of this squadron will continue their task and will provide you with the same facility. Fighter AMS will also continue their task and will protect you like the rest of the squadron. Try it, it's great !!!. This will allow your trade ships to be escorted and also to be supplied automatically with Ecells.

Change: Checking of MK3's military rank (or station trader) is now made periodically by the extension AI function. You do not need any more to install the MK3 or station trader patch. This should make compatibility with the programs which modify the script MK3 easier. However, you must remember to set up the AI extension command regarding MK3's...

Change : Network status is now available directly from a hotkey.

Addition: When a ship is rescuing astronauts, it also patrols in sector to collect other pilots, until it does not have cargo space anymore, (must be at least rank

.

Addition: Setting quantity of photocells distributed by Suppliers-E (in the menu 'Global Setup / Manage AI') This will allow your vessels to make bigger jumps.

Two new importants functions added :
'-SOS- Squadron assistance' (menu of communication with the pilotAI) : a ship can automatically get assistance from a Task Force Squadron if it is targetted by hosties. The ship must be at ComAI network range.
Wingmen don't send alerts. According to that, you have now a new setting in the 'AI Global Setup / Management' menu :'Setting ability to react in front of threats'. You can choose a percentage beyond of which the ship will behave according to the level of threat.

- A dormant wingman with no order will automaticaly join back its squadron after a short period of time.

Thanks to PrizzZ for this fantastic tool..

I thought of an interesting suggestion, and wanted to point out a possible bug (this is with 3.5 though)

1) It would be fun to be able to bring up a listing of all your AI pilots via a report along with basic information about each. This would allow a person to quickly view what his/her fleets and ships are up to, which needs new orders etc...

2) Is it normal that every ship I purchase/build/spawn has a pilot with my name? I don't know about you... but one of me is MORE than enough for one universe ^.^;

You have alreaydy the 'Pilot AI list' or 'Squadron list', but perhaps do you think in another type of information ?

be quiet, it's not a military push

It is the normal functioning of X3 Vanillia. You can rename them manually with the command 'AI:Input PilotAI Name', otherwise PilotIA takes care to rename them automatically when you join them into a squadron, or when you asks their status.

Yeah

Fanstastic update finally out. Looks great very much like the new menu system it is a much improved way of handling.

---------
Just a quick one. The SPK is still called PILOTIAIII I take it this is the upgraded version with the same name

Kilrathi Avenger · Post by **Kilrathi Avenger** » Sat, 18. Aug 07, 08:13

Cheers

Azz · Post by **Azz** » Sat, 18. Aug 07, 08:19

Yes it's the same name

I'm too lazy to change the link in my site everey time I make an upgrade

You will have the message of update when you will start the game

Is this included in the PILOTAI download or must it be installed separately

It must be installed separately...

Lidza · Post by **Lidza** » Sun, 19. Aug 07, 02:04

Hi,

I couldn't find a way to instruct the squad Leader to launch automatically once a carrier is under attack.

For example, leaving a carrier patrolling a sector, with a squad of 20 ships landed on its deck. I've not seen launching the fighters/squad unless I intervene. Is there away to do that... auto-launch once under attack? Thanks

Azz · Post by **Azz** » Sun, 19. Aug 07, 12:36

Hello Lidza
That one aspect which will certainly be improved in the next version (see the post by sartha a few posts above)

At the moment you can use the squadron order ' - Protect your base / Carrier ' (menu Squadrons Commands) The squadron will dock to the carrier and will take off automatically in case of enemy's detection.
But the squad leader has to be at least of rank 8 to be totally self-sufficience

jocan2003 · Post by **jocan2003** » Mon, 20. Aug 07, 16:05

Azz idlike to add that your script is not compatible with the bail extension script package i made a work around but it still not working at 100% after kill about 300 fighter my AI in my ship is still lvl 3 LOLL, im still trying to fix that ( need to m,odify the bail signal extension to call your calculation script, but there is som many file that i cant find everything lol. wnat my result when it will be done?

Azz · Post by **Azz** » Wed, 22. Aug 07, 14:46

Helo jocan

it's strange
The bail extension script only use the Signal Attacked while PilotIA only use the signal Killed

I will have a look

To help you :
The script which has to start at the destruction of a ship is:
'azz.prime.killed', normally selected by the instruction :

Code: Select all

global ship map: set: key=SIGNAL_KILLED, class=Vaisseau, race=null, script='azz.prime.killed', prio=10000

in the script 'setup.azz.prime'

jocan2003 · Post by **jocan2003** » Thu, 23. Aug 07, 22:37

I will speak english because its the english part but im french, I know it doesnt use the same signal, but while the *modified signal_attacked* kicks in the signal killed wont kick out.

The script at 95% of the time will destruct the ship at 1%or higher, will happen few time that you will kill the ennemy if you *overkill* him, hurricane missle on harrier, long burst of Beta HEPT on M4 etc,
i tell you, please trust me, that after 3 day of full time fighting my pilot only had 15 kill, was using APBE to blow shield fast and hull slowly to kill them slowly so the Bail Signal Extension had time to do all themaths etc.

I soon realise that my pilot was getting lot of exerience, then i made some change to the BSE script and now its fully working, sometime having strange behavior, BSE Bailing ( no explosion ) getting mesage from pilot about his bailing and ship blow?

Still have to carefully look at most of the files to be sure to understand how it fully work. Coundt work on that yesterday had a heartbreak... 22 yr and first heartbreak...... no im not fatty, all the opposite.....

Anyway, all the changes i made so far was in BSE scripts.

Wow this sounds like just the kinds of things I've been looking for. Especially the response fleet which has a tanker to refuel!

Just want to be sure, there is no problem with the bonus pack? I have vanilla X3 2.02 with Bonus Pack and the HUD mod from the main page. There should be no clashes? Thanks!

Azz · Post by **Azz** » Thu, 6. Sep 07, 22:49

xxbluedragonxx :

No problems with the bonus pack

PilotIA 3.56

Correction of some problems mentioned on the french forum :

a few commands were broken :
- Supplying by the command 'Attack-Protect-Supply...'
- command 'attack all' in the 'Squadron Command Menu'
- command 'ComIA Strike Squadron' if the ComIa was the leader of the strike squadron.

that's all

enjoy

latest release appears to contain a .pdf that the script installer can't handle (the .spk format release). Attempt to install crashes the plugin manager.

Azz · Post by **Azz** » Fri, 7. Sep 07, 08:02

Hello xxbluedragonxx

It works fine for me

Are you using the latest version of Xscript Installer (2.12) ?

Leopardog · Post by **Leopardog** » Tue, 2. Oct 07, 19:02

I've been using this script for a few days now, and so far it has been fantastic!

But I have one issue I cannot seem to resolve. I just created a "Supply" squadron with TL as tanker and 3 TS as suppliers. I set up the supply list of the TL for 5000 ecells (BTW there should be an option for more than 5000, as the TL could hold many more) and some missiles. Then I set the TS ships to supply the tanker, 2 supplying ecells and the 3rd supplying missiles.

I then had the supply squad travel around to all my other squads and resupply them, which worked perfectly. But now, the tanker is out of stock and the supply ships are not re-supplying the tanker, just following it around. Is there some special command I need to issue to the supply squad to begin resupply of the tanker?

I thought I had everything setup properly to have this happen automatically. Could someone walk me through how to get the resupply tanker to happen automatically??

thanks!

Remember this post?

Azz wrote:It's for this reason that it is compatible with OCS, or whith your script (depending on the fact if you use or not the Signal-killed)

Since version 0.7b, which has been released a week ago, I've been using SIGNAL_KILLED... that's what made my script incompatible with your one... unfortunately, I forgot what I quoted up there...

I've already fixed it by using a script call to my killed-extension (the same i use for the original SIGNAL_KILLED)

Is there any other signal or original command you change?
Just to be sure ^^

I couldn't read anything like this in your 4 setup scripts, so I don't think so ^^
