AI ignores "max_AA_level"

[NiL_FisK|Urd]

I added a series of 100 AA Batteries to the startup build, and the AI ignores the "max_AA_level = 5" command. Wilhelmshaven and Münster have 10 AA batteries now.

That's an old HOI2 bug. We solved it in Darkest Hour, though.

 

[NiL_FisK|Urd]

Also, the AI ignores the province preferences for building AA and deploys the AA batteries to province 80 until 10 AA is reached, then province 81, 82 and so forth.

Then maybe you could shed some light on how to solve it here as well?

.exe modification

Ah, thanks, Denniss. So there was little point in telling us that it has been solved in DH... it's something our devs must look at.

No need to be sarcastic here.
I called this an old HOI2 "bug" to let NiL_FisK|Urd know that it was not WAD.
It has to do with the code, indeed, not the external files.
And as you guessed, there is nothing I can do to help in that regard, sorry.

No problem Fernando, but I was just guessing if you could give a hint on how to get rid of this bug - unfortunately, it turned out it was a hard coded issue, something I didn't know when I first replied. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

 

[Fernando Torres]

No problem.
Has gunman fully taken over AOD development? I know the previous AOD devs did not want to cooperate with other HOI teams but perhaps he would be willing to (if he has the right to). Both games could benefit from hints on how the other fixed obvious issues like this one. At least that has always been my philosophy (even if it never came into effect)..

 

[Titan79]

I don't know - you should ask him directly, I guess.

That is a great philosophy

Well yes Fernando and Gunman, that would be the adult thing to do if Gunman has free hands then why the hell not!?

Is this with the latest patch and unmodded? I thought I addressed it some time ago:

Don't have the code at hand, but IIRC AI checks max_AA_level when starting a new build on his own, not when having to to place a predefined series.

It is with the lates .exe but modded.

Ok, that is why it does not work. I thought that the AI also used the same settings when deploying a non-defined serial.

 

[Denniss]

Does the AI use at least the priority provinces for AA placement ?

No

Also, the AI ignores the province preferences for building AA and deploys the AA batteries to province 80 until 10 AA is reached, then province 81, 82 and so forth.

 

[Denniss]

So the AI use those settings only to start/place local builds of these province improvements. I assume this would happen for globally built radar and bases as well.
