Think i've broke my AI!

I hope someone can help me. At some point in my modding the AI has stopped building from any structure. It wont build ANYTHING from the weapons factory, airfield or navel yard. The only exception is that if I kill all the members of the ONE defensive team of infantry that it builds (no matter what amount I set this to in Rules.ini) it will eventualy replace them and only them. I've looked at numerous tutorials and am none the wiser. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing this? I'm using YR ver 1.001.

Thanks in advance. Embarassed

Stop screwing around with the prerequisites! Razz

Check your AI.ini? Might just have to redo it...or change your prerequisites...is all I could think off the top of meh skull that could affect it, right now.

Does the AI go beyond War Factory tech (eg build a Lab)?

I've tried using a fresh copy of AI.ini but that didn't help, I didn't touch it in the 1st place though. The CPU builds all my structures and defenses, just no units.

1. Revert Minimum/MaximumDefensiveTeams to defaults (1,1,1 / 2,2,2 ).
2. Find that teamtype in the ai(md).ini and increase its Max= setting.

The AI doesn't create any other teams until it has at least MinimumDefensiveTeams created, it only creates teamtypes which have IsBaseDefense=yes set, and most of those teams have a Max=1, thus it can't create enough teams and locks up. Mostly obvious on Soviet AI, but can be created in all sides with minimum effort.

Ok, Dcoder, I'll try that and report back.

Ah ha! I changed back my min/maxDefensiveTeams and it seems to work again now. Thanks for that guys. Very Happy

Ps, while I'm here, does anyone know how to change the text for the game version (ie 1.001) on the main menu screen? I assume its in the CSF somewhere but I can't find it.
