[AI] CityLifeAI 3.0

Version 2.4 by WalkedBy (2021/10/10)

It would be awesome if the above code change could be implemented, and then checked against OpenTTD 14 and uploaded to Bananas. This is a huge Quality of Life upgrade that many players don't know exists.

I fully agree, I neglected this projecty for far too long, so expect a new release relatively soon.

Also it looks like somebody forked it and made some enhancements, might be worth looking into.

Is it possible that this doesn't work anymore with OpenTTD V14?
I just found out about CityLifeAI, followed the instructions to a T, i.e. installed all the dependencies, but it's not doing anything. I checked the script debug window and all that happens is repeated demands for money - several times a month and for months on end, too. I've tried later start dates, too (1980), no dice.

OpenTTD 14 included some changes that have broken several AIs, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Why is the roadbuilder removed? It seems to be working (at least in my own fork).

Maybe because JGRPP already had that function.

JGRPP has an API for AI road building?

Oh no, I mean the game can generate public roads that connects towns during map generation

Considering RaTT/Ufiby Road Set, these generated roads may still require an AI to upgrade...

I wanted to release a stable version of the AI that will be usable from the content downloader. The road building between towns worked fine for easy use-cases, but could fail or create too many bridges. Also the addition to road building in JGRPP and the fact that the road is owned by the AI, so it will not be possible to upgrade it unless the AI does it, has a role in it. So I think it is better to let the game or GS handle road building. I would like to keep the parade part of it, when two towns are already connected, the parade will get going. But I guess it can be brought back under a parameter.
