Useless Tags

Morenn · Vehicle Driver **Joined**: 15 May 2011

In the rules.ini there are the tags
Paranoid=
and
MaximumQueuedObjects=

Paranoid controls whether the AI will gang up on the person and MQO is pretty obvious. However I set Paranoid=No but the remaining AI will still gang up on the human player after the first AI is defeated. I set MQO to 9 and 14 and both times the build queue was still only 5.

Are these tags useless or are there any known bugs affecting them?

They work as you explained. Another rules.ini values are getting used.
TS loading overrides: tibsun.mix -> expandXX.mix (XX = 01 -> 99) -> rules.ini in base folder. patch.mix is usually not used by modders.

A bug in TS loading sequence was, missing mouse cursor in Dropship loadout screen. It gets fixed by putting mouse.shp in cache.mix in tibsun.mix.

If you want to increase build limit for anything set the build queue to any number you want. Smile

Lin Kuei Ominae taught me that Very Happy

CTRL + F type queue and then look for number 5 and then change it to anyway you want

Better explained/written out:
1) TibSun first looks for loose files in the game folder. This is how most modders have their mod files. If it finds files, it uses these. If not -> 2
2) TibSun then looks for files in expandXX.mix. This is how most mods who are released have their mod files. If it finds files, it uses these. If not -> 3
3) TibSun finally looks in tibsun.mix -> local for it's own set of files. If it didn't find anyone in the game folder, nor in an expandXX.mix, it uses it's default files.

Additionally, if the maps itself contain rule changes, these will overwrite any other.
So, if the map you played contained a paranoid=yes, no matter what you do, it will always gang up ^^
