AI-Uveso (v87). AI mod for FAForever

[Uveso]

Hello JonnoHR31,

thank's for the info, and sorry for my dump question.
After searching the vault for "faction" it was clear what mod you meant

Well, of course the commander don't work.
They are not connected to the buildmanager and don't have any commander beahvior threads running.

Also a problem, the AI can't build a building that is not from the initial faction.
(The buildfunction is only checking the initial faction, and not the faction from the building unit.)

And the biggest problem is the upgrademanager.
To upgrade factories you need an advanced upgrade-logic for different factions wit HQ and Support factories.
(You can't upgrade a Aeon Tech2 land support factory to a Tech3 support factory if you only have a Tech3 Land HQ factory from UEF. You need a Tech3 Aeon HQ to do so.)

Good thing is, i can include game patches to my AI mod and i like the idea to fix the AI so it can build with multi factions.

New AI with patch is comming soon!

@uveso: Just read it forgot to add notifications. Sure best add me in FAF

@DeathStorm:

Yes naval needs some improvements. (But basic naval builder are already in)
Land units are almost ready, and i am working right now on air units.

Sure its possible to reduce spam. The Adaptive AI is only building as much units as the enemy has. Also the Experimental Ai is focussing on ... Experimentals

At th moment i am really short of time, but next week we can have a talk @Teamspeak³. maybe with Sven ?!?

Sorry for the slow response, I don't get on the forums much.

Wow, I never realised just how broken it was! I'm gonna give your updated patch a try now, thank you very much for the hard work!

Update 20.Sep.2018 (v42)
- Patched buildmanager to handle multi faction builders.
- Patched upgrademanger to handle multi faction factory upgrades.
- Support for all faction mod. All spawned ACU's now get a CommanderBehaviorThread and build manager.

Unfortunately it didn't work. The Ai spawns all factions except the one chosen (there's only 3 of the 4 ACU's spawned) and it doesn't do anything at all with the remaining 3. Interestingly though, killing the 3 ACU's doesn't defeat the player, the game continues as if the Ai still has 1 acu, but it doesn't exist anywhere on the map.

The AI mod does not change anything with the ACU spawn.
(i just download the all faction mod again and tested it to be sure; It works here)

Maybe there is another mod activated that is not compatible with the FAF game version ?

Please only use the FAF game version, my AI mod and the All faction mod.
If this don't work, then post a game.log please.

Hi Uveso,

I tested the AIx Uveso Adaptative several times on map Diversity and it was really fun. Your AI is much smart than the vanilla one. At end game it switches to an experimental massive building so it forces the player to be offensive. Really cool And it blends well with Alliance of Heroes mod.

Keep on your good job !
