Random Tip:
26.When making a new skirmish build list try to rotate them to a 45 degree angle. This often makes it easier for the AI to place the buildings, thus you get a higher degree of consistency. Build lists are evil and they will almost never do exactly what you have told them to do.

» And more fixes on SDI!
Posted April 15, 2008. By Banshee.
I wasn't very satisfied with the changes I've done in the SDI few days ago and now I've also fixed some layout issues and skinned the network bar. Script Development Initiative is a special place for Generals and Zero Hour modders, which includes several tutorials for modders and downloads, mostly focused on AI scripting, but not restricted to it. And there are also the random tips of the day that may save many lives. I hope you enjoy it!
If you have any modding questions for Generals/ZH, use our editing forums (guest posting allowed) and we'll try to help you.

» Akkrand AI Update 1.15 + TFH + NoSilence SCB
Posted August 29, 2004. By Mithril.
The already famous "Lightning" Akkrand has worked on his AI again and advanced to version 1.15. He didn't say much about the changes - however there is evidence to assume that he has improved the plane and bombtruck AI. Grab his AI HERE.
There's also a new file available; the No Silence between Music ZH Scripts. Ever wondered why there's such a long silence between the music tracks? Well this .scb reduces the silence length effectively - you won't be playing without listening to the ZH tracks often.
Furthermore there's a huge update over at The Finest Hour. They have an ingame shot of the Ferdinand\Elephant, renders and ingame shots of the French Popup Turret, firing 135mm grenades, a new fuel tank system that will allow the player to target a part of a vehicle designated as its fuel storage tank with a generals ability, the destruction of that fuel tank takes the vehicle with it! Finally there is a preview of a USA mission map and a render of the M18 Hellcat.

» Akkrand AI Update 1.09 + Bombtrucks!
Posted August 10, 2004. By Mithril.
The Akkrand AI Version 1.09 is up, actually we can call him Lightning Akkrand now!
It includes some changes with the dynamic attack paths again, more refined logic and new battlebus behavior. Here's a quote from the thread:
"I've made a whole bunch of changes to the Dynamic Attack Paths that I use in my AI - it does a bunch of stuff with timers, counting how long each probe takes to get killed after it first gets attacked, and then comparing the timers of the various probe teams after they're all dead to determine which entrance to use... There are things that can screw it up a bit, but it seems to make more informed decisions, and it especially useful when there are multiple entrances flagged 'without defences', or if all the entrances are flagged 'with defences'..."
There's a new tutorial up as well, about Getting the Bombtruck to disguise properly. Now this isn't the best form of the solution, but as soon as you got the gist of this you will be able to fine tune the logic, like Akkrand did with the Dynamic attack paths.

» Dynamic attack paths
Posted July 24, 2004. By Mithril.
New tutorial about Dynamic attack paths is up. If you implement this your AI won't just send teams to die at the enemy base defenses. Especially useful for Burton\Black Lotus rush tactics...
