i have crashes with this mod from time to time (mostly when mission ends). I can be wrong, but i suspect this mod.

So this mod will not be updated for a while. Does the current version still work? I think I need this mod so my smaller mechs don't get killed as often.

Hey, just wanted everybody to know that I won't be able to update for a while; I made a game that's on Steam now: I had this crazy idea of combining a game like that with FTL-like deck-building mechanics.

Nuke Survivors is the result.

I've put up a free demo on Itch.io, if anybody wants to look. It's arcade-y and pretty straightforward at this time, but I'm open to adding more features if I'm seeing enough feedback!

Hello, I get a conflict warning with Coyotemission. Since CM is really picky - do you overwrite either
- mw5_assetaccess
- MissionChoicePersistentData

Thanks!

Amazing mod! Thanks for your hard work.

Thank you for the response :)

This mod doesn't affect a major feature like that. Infantry was kind of half-baked, at best, upon release (hence why it's a "mod" rather than a "feature").

is it possible to get the AI (both allied and enemy mechs/vehicles) to shoot at infantry? Say as the lowest priority?

If it is possible and easy to accomplish may I request that please.

Thanks for the update!

Updated for DLC4. Not that it was broken, but, you know, so that the game doesn't auto-disable it, lol.

Like it battle are more realistic thx

thx for update

Updated for latest MW5.

It shouldn't create problems, unless TTRulez is doing something really weird w/ the AI's aiming systems. Try it and let me know if there's an issue, and if so, I'll bring it up w/ TTRulez's maintainer. What I'm doing is really basic stuff that shouldn't cause any real issues; this just changes a few numbers, basically; it's not new code or whatever.

I was told last week that even if you put your mod after TTRulez, that it creates problems?

It is compatible.

I assume this is not compatible with the TTRulez AI mod, right?

Legend, thanks for this great mod, it really makes the AI feel less computery and a little bit more organic. Can't imagine the game without it

Odd. Fixed the link.

Link in description broken? Says mod not found for the nexus link.

1.02 updates the mod for the current DLC.

This honestly feels to be just right in my current playthrough.

Everything seems a bit more realistic and fair.

It also effects this a bit, by using a different set of percentages. It does ~not~ effect things like how much your lancemates are affected by their leveled-up skill bonuses; that involves a piece of code I didn't want to mess with, as it gets touched by other mods.

Alright sounds cool. Does this effect the Freindly AIs skill levels as well(where they start to target more limbs/hit more at higher skill levels, thus giving you more incentive to keep em alive)

Enough that it's noticeable?

For example, all AIs, including the player's helpers, are penalized at point-blank ranges, simulating what happens to players at said ranges (it's hard to hit things at point-blank due to torso / body rotation speeds, essentially, but the AI ignores most of that in Vanilla).

That said, the player's helpers get a better overall curve, hitting more frequently at all ranges, than all but the most elite enemies, which is reasonable, in a game where you're frequently outnumbered by a wide margin, and by the time you're fighting elites, you should have top-tier gear, Cantina upgrades, etc., which give you a considerable total advantage, even in Vanilla (and if you play my total rebalance, Unification, it's even more interesting as you hit the top of the power curve).

How much we talking here? Since I notice the AI just being really Dumb for my team mates and its frustrating to have to do missions with 1-2 people with no reinforcements or such.

Yes, it enhances the friendly AI somewhat.

This mod work with friendly AI? Since when it comes to missions Its always really infurirating in missions when playing with AI

Probably?

But does it work with MercTech?

Im new player to Mechwarriors game, but i think their AI likes to stuck on walls, rocks and keep chasing the enemy and ended up destroying my mechs. Some ppl may be ok with it, but i found it frustating. Keep hitting F2 command but the AI keep chasing the enemy lol.

Second try seemed to have better AI. I guess it was just a weird game. Maybe I'm just noticing more because I'm looking for it.

It isn't doing *anything* to the base AI. All it changes is stuff related to aiming.

Is it supposed to say that it conflicts with a previous mod? I know it's supposed to overwrite part of TT_RulezAI.

Also, preliminary tests showed mechs moving more stupidly. Am enemy rifleman walked past my lance without even looking, then kinda just stood there looking at nothing until it was fired upon. An allied Centurion also managed to get stuck in a slope.

My Lance acts less like crackheads now.

Still works.

Do you need to update this for The latest DLC or does it still work alright?

Thanks for making the mod, any AI improvement makes for a massive quality of life improvement, I mean in defense missions my own lance does more damage to the target than the enemy AI usually does..

My bad, link updated. Short answer: this mod makes the AI feel better. Long answer: it's especially good for people using the TTRulezAI with my weapon mod, which makes pretty major changes to the game.

What does this Mod actually do? I click on the Details link wich just sends me to the "Unification" mod and that just seems to be a Weapon Mod according to it's description. :/

Comment for anyone getting this with TT_RulezAI.. you need to go into it's mod.json and change the default load order to 5 or higher (I went with ten) since TT is set to 4.

If it's loaded so that it overrides TT_RulezAI, it should cure the headshot-god issues, unless the author of said mod deliberately quit using the standard AI profiles, to make this not work. In which case, I'd be sad, but hey, it's not my mod that people complain about the insane accuracy with, lol.

Try it that way. I had it that way, then people said it wasn't working, so I went the other way, lol. If it works, I'll update the mod to be 99, not -99, lol.

Honestly, if PGI just let us move things around in their Mod Manager UI, this would be so much more straightforward, lol. It should load before TT_RulezAI, not after.

My issue is that I don't know what the numbers do. I know which mod is which but I don't know what numbers to add.

Your mod had -99 in there. Does that mean it loads first? Shouldn't that number be bigger so that it loads AFTER ttAI mod?

One easy way to figure out which mod you need to put at the bottom of the load-order in modlist.json is just to turn off my mod, then check which one has bEnabled = false.

Modlist.json is a text-file in C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries

The modlist tool on Nexus allows moving around load-orders, etc. very easily, and IIRC it handles Steam mods OK, too.

Sorry that this is kind of a PITA; I didn't design it, lol. If it was up to me, the game would rebuild the modlist on startup every time, or at least have an easy way to reset it, but nooo.

I'm trying to understand the numbers because I won't bother with mod manager. I have a mix of Steam Workshop mods and Nexus mods and I don't know if the mod manager can manage both at the same time.

This version has a number of -99, am I correct?

Doesn't that mean that it gets loaded first instead of TTAI?

Shouldn't the load order number be higher? How does this work?

Okay,my Lance-mates are 'with it",and my weaponry rocks. (digging out wallet) What do I owe
you? :) Thanks again.

OK, new build up; will place itself into the bottom of a load-order automatically if freshly installed. If you're not sure how all this works, I strongly recommend downloading the mod load-order editor tool from Nexus, folks; Steam mods don't come with a handy label in modlist.json, just a numeric ID.

Do you have this set before, or after, TTRulez_AI? Because this mod is designed to nerf that. I'm uploading a new build tonight that should make sure it loads in the correct order w/out the user needing to know what to do.
