I have made a test.
I am playing a skirmish game on the map t1-cockpit (4 players) where I am player0, player 1 and 2 are BP2.92 and player 3 is aivolution (my ally).
After 15 minutes evreything seems fine, no crashes, AIs playing well... but if I type the command "are you aiv?" no AI is answering (I expected player 3 - aivolution to answer me)...all othe commands are not working too...
What is happening? is it possible to assign different AI scripts to the AI players?

Re: Skirmish with aivolution and BecomePrey
I have made some more test and it seems I "thought" I was playing with the mod I created but instead the standard AI was playing. I am not 100% sure of what happens: I have simply put the AI scripts withing the playerX.slo and vlo files and zipped them with WinRAR into a wz file.
Then I have tried to play a bit only with aivolution.wz and if I unpack aivolution.wz and repack it with winrar the new wz file is much smaller (the original aivolution.wz has a compression ratio=0!) and not working, I mean the skirmish starts and you can play but if you ask via command line "are you aiv?" no one answers.
Then I made a test with winzip and re-compressed it at "standard" compression ratio and it works fine, I mean you can play against aivolution and the AI answer to your questions on the command line.
Therefore the issue I had at the beginning could be related to the fact I compressed various AIs (BP and aivolution) in a wz file using winrar and not winzip.
I will do some more test with winzip...but in the meanwhile...someone else should already know if it is possible to play a skirmish against various AI...
