The AI works, then stops, then they produce units. At one point their probes stop mining. What do I do to keep the AI running throughout the whole game???

Oh, and what AI scripts would be good for towns? They the probes don't work. The only thing they do is make nexus's in random places throughout the map. Also, how do I make the AI work efficiently?? (In essence like a melee map.)

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

First of all you must not preserve AIs. Run them once, and only rerun the action if you want to change the script.

Also make sure that the player's race and the AI and, if applicable, the units have the same race. You also have to disable randomized start location for any forces with melee computers.
For melee Custom Level or Campaign Insane work best.

Probes still randomly idle and the AI stops acting at all after about a 5-6 minute period... :(



None.

This is aside from the topic, but the reason for the editing of your post... Threats against my life?? :-(

Umm, apparently I'm also guilty of prostitution.

But really, it was just Kaias joking around with me, I didn't actually make any threats, don't worry. if you take a look at my Admin page

you'll see that Kaias has edited my posts a bazillion times (mostly to add information to the SCMDraft and FAQ topics), and he got tired of the real reasons and decided it was time for some lulz.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
