AI Generals, AI.TLB

I've just read about this AI Generals (unused in RA2, I don't remember with YR) in Deezire's Encyclopedia. It also talks about the AI.TLB file which can make it work. Since I don't have TS, anyone here can share me a copy of it?

Get the file from here: http://redutils.puslapiai.lt/requests/
AI.TLB and AIMD.TLB is the same file, AIMD.TLB is renamed in an attempt to make it work in YR.

im considering trying it soon, but i think you still need to do taskforces and stuff though, i dont know, maby someone can confirm it?

deezire obviously implemented it lol.

It was coded for GDI (allies) Nod (soviets) but not for YR.

Also Dcoder mentions it messes with AI predictions.

It also heavily relys on pool teams and additional task forces. Pool teams are quite hard to implement, e.g. A.I. only builds defense teams and pool team and nothing else.

so its pretty usless if your making a yuri revenge mod then aint it.

Yeah, then just thanks anyway, but I can't really put away the thought that DeeZire used a secret something for his DeeVious AI, which works fine with YR.

The generals were also pretty crap for GDI/Allies vs. GDI/Allies or Nod/Soviets vs. Nod/Soviets too.

yeah but Deezire told us how to overcome this by telling the A.I. to specifically target soviet players and vice versa but to honest its too much work.

Good a.i. should have some nice varied taskforces and reasonably large teams (which don't pathfind too badly) and a very low TeamDelays= statement I don't mod YR since the a.i. is useless at effectively countering yuri players and my soviet team always act dead >__<

I'll have a good bet that deezire a.i. just has far more advanced [AITriggers] which rely on random power/money values (instead of time or specific structures) and successful pool team implementation.

I had same problem but lower MaxDefensiveTeams(Or something like it,I dont remember) solved it.

Can this be fixed so we AI can have better defense?

yes more defense structures, there is a tag for it saying allied, soviet, yuri basedefense counts or whatever.

The most effective way for ai base defence building is to half the cost and power drain of base defenses and make the ai rich.

It was absolutelly simple!
Soviets have just 1 base defense teamptype with Max=1.
Soviet AI got stuck becouse it couldnt build its minimum of defensive teamtypes. Just set max= of that type to high number,10 works well,or make more soviet teams with Basedefense=yes. You can get this bug with Allies and Yuri also,so if using high numbers of defensive teams,give them more teams.
