I cant seem to make my AI's operate routes

[Volare013]

I installed a few different AI's and all off the library files starting with AI.
Ones i start a new game they begin their run but never start operating anything.
What am i doing wrong?

[Brumi]

Did you wait enough for them to build anything? Do their companies even appear in your game? Which AIs are you using?

[Volare013]

Im trying out both AdmiralAi and SimpleAi. i give them about five years but nothing happens, they start a bussiness on the edge of the screen and thats it.
Ive tried the RoadAi which builds a road, stations, garages but no cars.
And ive tried some others with various effect but none actually make money.

Thanks

Have you tried AIAI? If it is unable to build anything with sane settings, newgrfs and map - it is a bug. In this case - please post in AIAI thread save where it failed to create profitable company.

SimpleAI doesn't do anything?
Could you post your openttd.cfg so that I can test SimpleAI with your settings? How much did you wait after starting them? If the construction speed of competitors is set to very slow, it is not unusual that you have to wait even a year until the AIs actually start building. This is because they plan their routes in advance, in contrast to the old AI which tried to figure out its route on the fly.

Thanks guys for trying to find a sollution, it really takes out game experience when i dont have "enemies"

In your config you have disabled all vehicle types for AIs. I suggest that you enable all (or all but air if you wish to stop AIs from using aircraft).

[ai]
ai_in_multiplayer = true
ai_disable_veh_train = true
ai_disable_veh_roadveh = true
ai_disable_veh_aircraft = true
ai_disable_veh_ship = true

Edit: Disabling a vehicle type for AI means that OpenTTD enforce that the AI is unable to build vehicles of that type.

[Kogut]

Solved!

ai_disable_veh_train = true
ai_disable_veh_roadveh = true
ai_disable_veh_aircraft = true
ai_disable_veh_ship = true

You disabled all vehicles for AIs, enabling the again should fix problem.

EDIT: There was also AIAI problem that I fixed, see AIAI thread.

Thanks guys its working now :):)
