Can't switch AI for ...

[Lestradae]

Would be happy for hints!

[ai.load.failed.unknownAI]: Can't switch AI for <ShipEntity 0xe512468>{"Griffin Two"} from <no AI>:(nil) to "traderAI.plist" - could not load file.

Hadn't seen that one before. What is it and how can I repair it?

Cheers

Quite easy: just make sure your oxp contains that file. Because that is what it says: he can't find it.

btw: this is a very bad chosen filename that is likely to conflict with other oxp's that use the same name.

I would rather guess that it's a misnomer for route1traderAI, especially as there is no AI included in griffin2.oxp.

[Lestradae]

Ah yes, didn't think that there actually is no traderAI in the core game. D'uh.

Will look what causes this, thanks.

[Kaks]

'could not load file.' is one of the generally accepted clues that the specified file isn't there...

Thanks L!

Yeah sure, but the "D'uh" moment wasn't that - that I got. It was that I thought "but the game has a traderAI" and so assumed it had to be something much more complicated ... and while the back of my head was shouting at me, I was walking away whistling

Happy to have made your day though with this extremely witty question of mine

Obviously that's exactly what Griff must have thought when he typed the filename for a non-existing AI...

Btw, I had much worse moments myself... Much, much worse!

Thank you again!

Is that the fix then?

The problem is still there:

[ai.load.failed.unknownAI]: Can't switch AI for <ShipEntity 0x7f9bb939d1a0>{"Griffin Two"} to "traderAI.plist" - could not load file.

So is this the fix? To change [size=120]AddOns/griffin2.oxp/Config/shipdata.plist[/size] to say:

Code: Select all

		<key>ai_type</key>
		<string>route1traderAI.plist</string>

Not the best fix as the Griffin2 also has pirate and hunter in it's role list and they'd get the wrong AI.

Probably better to delete the ai_type key entirely and add an auto_ai key, which I think in XML looks like this.

Code: Select all

<key>auto_ai</key>
<true/>

auto_ai is by default yes, so adding the key wont help. It could be that the default ai is loaded first and than ovewritten with the auto_ai. In which case you see the error and the ship still has the correct ai in game.
