-- Yes and no. Yes it exists (I've played 'em all since '99) and no it's not available for download. (much older version for v.1.10 and
v.1.11 is still a dl and while quite excellent, IMHO, it is not in the same league as the 2008 iteration..)

-- It's called Become Prey 2008 and it is masterfully scripted by NIKER to NOT cheat and also employ almost all
successful veteran MP tactics. I'm sure it will give you a good spanking one on one. :twisted:

-- I've ported it over to the WRP binary for my own use in map making but I have to talk to NIKER about either releasing my port of what
he created in August '08 or, knowing him as I do, he might want to do the port himself with new script changes of his own....We'll see..

Does entering debug mode (--cheat: shift+backspace) have anything to do with this?

But anyway, aiv sucks even if it worked correctly... (its better than the stock, but still too weak for me)

Well, here's one: 1v3, Aivolution, T1 Advanced Bases, Rush.

But i have an addition to make, the aiv i have (most recent trunk) just spams mini pods, nothing but mini pods.
mini pod viper wheels, mini pod viper halftracks, mini pod viper track, mini pod bug wheel/half track/track,
mini pod leopard/retaliation/wheel/half/track and any other possible mini pod combo you can think of (excluding vtoalcs).
don't get it... O_o

even after installing new operating system, installinge warzone and playing aivolution-ai, they are always using vtols in my games ??????
also many different kinds of weapons; machine guns, mini pods, flamers, cannons, mortars....

I have a few questions about AIvolution

How long does it take for the AI to change its tactics?
and What factors will make the AI change its tactics?

Troman, its original author, is currently inactive, and I don't think anyone else knows.

Well for me aivolution does use a variety of ground weapons, but it never does use VTOLs or artillery (except for mini-pod). And it sucks defending against air. It builds some AA in the base, but nowhere else, so when their attack force comes(which usually consists of heavy bodies, tracked with heavy cannon, needlegun etc later in game) most of them are destroyed by my VTOLs before reaching my base.

yes there is. it's a matter of re-working aivolution or porting the most recent becomeprey or water ais (both will make you cry
before you can own em unless you take 1 or 2 ais as allies against the other enemy ais). peeps that can do this work are busy
with other priorities i would guess is why things are as they are. reworking aivolution would not be an easy task but porting bp or
water ais would be a lot easier but time consuming for sure.

Sounds like a great idea. I remember games against aivolution where it really sucked due to water. I played on the manhattan map, with a rather strong ai on the lower island and me on the upper one, the rest of the slots filled with normal ais. I hoped for a challenging game with the strong one taking out the nearby weak ones first and then using the gained mightagainst me. He didn't build a single hovercraft nor VTOL, nor any artillery (again with the exception of mini-rocket artillery), didn't cross the water, just filled his half of the map with tracked vehicles.

The AI has currently no way of knowing that some areas of the map are inaccessible to certain types of vehicles. I am working on a solution for this.

The simple way would just be a map flag - "This map is split by water!"

That won't be enough. But I just posted a patch to the dev list that should fix this once I figure out how to add it as a scripting function for the AI :ninja:

lol we need BP for 2.1.x versions... that ai was realy challenging , especially realy liked the way how the build , like random sensors around the map , and strong base front line
