Nice. Is there anymore room for improvements? Is it even worth it? Would it for sure cut into AI performance? The only major feature left untouched is AI army composition. The AI could possibly be smarter when buying units by taking into account the map terrain and the player army list. On one hand ...

New version 3.1 is now available. See the first post. Here are the changes : WHAT'S NEW Stuttering fix and some optimizations that in some cases slightly decrease AI turn time. - Fixed most cases of AI movement animation stuttering (this was a problem of the mod, not the game). - Optimization : AI w...

You mentioned some kind of update, Roguedjack, helping with the stutters. Is that available somewhere? Keen to use the mod now.

Not yet. Will be in the next version 3.1 which I'll release soon after the next Fog2 patch.

Mmm. But the 'system' txt file in the config folder, for example, shows

//debugmode = 1
and
//debugdisplay = 1

But do those little '//' marks mean this doesn't apply?

Yes those lines don't apply.

But you mentioned 'debug mode', Roguedjack. I don't see that in the options. Where do i find it and how do I switch it off? Thanks.

Don't worry it's off by default, it's in a file you have to edit to switch it on.

Any way of reducing the problem of (2) through different settings, such as Idle Animations (as an example)?

Probably not, its purely related to scripting. You could try changing "Unit Speed Turbo" in the settings to your liking, I have mine set to x3.

As I understand from the feedback I think people are describing 2 sorts of lags/freeze/stutter: 1) the major freeze when ai starts its turn, lesser ones during its turn when it starts a new pass, and very minor ones when between moving units which may look like stuttering. 2) the stutter in the anim...

I was very keen to use this, since it's so praised in here, but I find it leads to a staggered performance on my system, at least. Meaning it's REALLY stuttery. Freezes for micro-seconds whilst the sprites are moving, regularly (I mean all the time). Could put up with the big freeze at turn change ...

Do you have any interest in improving army selection? It seems that type of improvement might be substantially easier than what you have already done with the Ai. At least my army selection is fairly easy and based on only a few criteria-terrain open or closed and a comparison of army troop types. ...

You’ve done a great job. I’m playing FoG:E using your AI for exported battles and it’s really interesting. Even if I win easily (and it’s not always the case), the battles are very interesting without obvious AI errors. You’ve implemented some solutions which should definitely be implemented into t...

If you want to compare vanilla and RoAI ais on the same battle, save the game during your deployment phase and take it from here. The AI you started the game with is the one who deployed the AI army. This can have an impact on the game as RoAI use different deployment logic than vanilla. I will try...

A wonderful mod. Is there any possibility of optimizing the code so that a future is more fluid?

Thanks.
Since performance is an issue for some users I'll see if I can improve it in the next version without penalizing the AI.

Hi, I'm enjoying the mod, however since installing it I'm getting alot of stuttering and freezing that wasn't happening with just the TT mod before. A performance hit is expected, but I'm wondering how much is normal and if there are fixes/tweaks I can do. It is normal if it happens during the AI t...

I'll add that to the first post.

Got the saves, thanks.

@MarkShot Thansk for the feedback. RoAI does indeed evaluate terrain when evaluating the armies positions and the groups manoeuvring. To be honest I'm not sure it did for the specific reason you mentioned though but that's possible, depends how far it looked ahead. Its easy to over-estimate its clev...

Rouge Jack, does the improved AI work with Pauls mod?

TT mod : viewtopic.php?f=477&t=101538 ?
I just tried with the campaign version and it works fine. Will work with the custom battle version too.

Thanks
Feel free to post in the 3.0 thread for any comments: viewtopic.php?f=477&t=102040&sid=961c12 ... f38b4ce2a3

Thanks for the feedback. I realize you probably don't have much systems level control (like thread creation and destruction). I am not sure if you are familiar with how standard (non-neural net) chess engines are coded: * You use the player's think time to keep processing. So, if done as a low prior...

@roguedjack : Great mod. Will you consider making a future one for FoG2: Medieval ?

Thanks. I'm not sure I'll get FoG2M, I'm not really interested in wargaming the time period.
