Issues regarding Local Team Skirmish AiX and Fog of War

Postby genap » 30 Oct 2013, 06:49

Hi!

I wanted to know if anyone was aware of a quick-fix for an issue with AiX and Fog Of War I've been encountering since I got this game.

No matter what form of AiX I used (whether it be Sorian or regular legacy SupCom AiX), entering a local skirmish game in Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance will open up with me seeing the entire map with Fog of War completely disabled, allowing me to see the enemy team.

I couldn't find a similar post within this forum on the issue, but I did find an old thread on it in GPG.net, which was, unfortunately, left unsolved. Link: http://forums.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=52608

I'll be more than happy to post any logs required if they're needed, I just wanted to know if the community had a quick fix to this before I did so.

Some extra info:

I'm using the Steam version (and, as a result, I have the most up to date version).

This happens with or without mods.

Thank you for your time!

The AiX is supposed to have no FoW, it's a cheating Ai. Somebody could probably make a mod for this, so if you know anybody with modding skills you could ask him/her.

Sorian did a mod to include different options for AiX. Its built into faf normally but here is one you can use with steam.

In the game options there will be a heap of options to change aix including the fog of war

I think think genap means something different. It's not the AI having no fog of war that bothers him but he himself not having FOW.

Try starting a game with FOW disabled, and then starting a game with FOW set to explored. This has helped in the past.

Yes, I think he has an Aix on his team and that Ai is sharing vision with him. If he turns off vision for AiX it won't give him full map vision.

Or just don't put an AiX on your team

My problem exactly! I'll give that a try and come back with any news on a fix.

I suspected that, Deering. However, the regular Adaptive AI is ridiculously easy (even for Sorian AI) and I'm looking for a challenge. Any suggestions (short of playing human players, of course)?

So I am correct in thinking that you have an AiX on your team?

If so that mod I linked will work. Just turn off AiX vision.

If you don't have an AiX on your team then I have no idea.
