[WOTC] AI to AI Activations

This pairs great with raider mods!

No, you wouldn’t be able to use that mod with this one as we both are overriding the same class.

I currently use the Dynamic Pod Activation mod and that has AI to AI built in, but it has an option to turn it off. It doesn´t have a way to exclude certain missions like this one.
So can I use this together with DPA with AI to Ai turned of in DPA?

you mean as in the option to turn this off from activating on certain missions.. as in, the big option in the config files for "not on these mission types"... the option that already exists?

i agree with Snicks, if there was an option to disable this mod from having any effect on certain mission types, itd be great. the retaliation missions where ADVENT shoots civilians, but only the leader of the pod actually shoots and the rest hold fire / dont activate, and the pod itself is still inactive, those pods need stay inactivated, even when shooting at civilians, or else the missions is basically impossible, as every member of every pod activates and now theres 3-4 times as many advent taking pot shots at civilians.

I appreciate this, but it seriously needs the ability to disable the resistance triggering Advent pods on haven defense. Especially with modded enemies, they'll kill sometimes 3+ civilians a turn and be activated on turn 1 by militia forces. This is with improved civilians mods to make them less like fodder, but that takes it from an instant loss to a 4 turn loss which isn't feasable if you play with almost anything that makes the game harder.

That just disables activations when an enemy sees an enemy, but they still activate when they shoot each other outside the sight of xcom.

I don't understand why this mod works for haven defense missions when I see the following in the ini:

; Some missions are simply to difficult with AI sight activation enabled, list any here that you want to not cause this activation
; Mission Name excluded from EnableAItoAISeesUnitActivation
+ExcludedMissionNames=ChosenRetaliation ; Haven Defense w/ militia
+ExcludedMissionNames=RM_OperativeEscort ; RM Additional Missions types w/ Militia
+ExcludedMissionNames=HIVETerror ; HIVE Terror mission w/ militia
+ExcludedMissionNames=HIVEFishingTerror ; HIVE Fishing Terror mission w/ militia

I like this mod because it makes factions vs ADVENT possible without breaking concealment... but haven defense missions are impossible. Is there a way to remove civilians/haven survivors from activating the enemy?

Mod needs a way to keep it from ruining some objective missions and making completion impossible. Having Ai to Ai on Haven protection missions for example makes all PODs active sometimes and then they just wreck the civs before you can strategically save them. I've also had them pop VIPs and have VIPs just murdered on round 2. I typically play honestman play thrus so having full missions just be impossible to do sometimes does suck. Other than that I love the mod and seeing the other factions go at it. Not sure a tweek that could help other than some code that stops all the extra pods from going after specific objectives like VIPs, Devices, and Civs.
