How do you insert new AI in the game ?

Where do you copy the tar file and what do you need to write in the openttd.cfg?

[Yexo]

1) Download a NoAI binary.
2) Place the tar file in bin/ai/ (or just ai/)
3) Start a new game.
4) open the console (key left of '1' on your keyboard)
5) type "start_ai AINAME" (without quotes), were AINAME is the name of an AI you downloaded (or wrightai since that one is included with noai).

Instead of steps 4) and 5) you can also set the number of AI players in the difficulty window to some value > 0 and the game will automatically start a random AI.

I have a problem related to this: The game says "command or variable not found" if I try "start_ai" and no AI players ever start no matter what settings I have. What do I do?

Download the latest nightly

I did that 15 minutes before I posted this. I had problems with no (normal) AI starting regardless of settings in 0.6.3 before I downloaded the nightly too. Is a shared configuration file corrupt somewhere maybe? I tried removing the OpenTTD folder that contains saved games and the openttd.cfg file - resetting settings. It did not help.

By the latest nightly, he perhaps meant the nightly that is about to come out.

I see. Now it works.

Hello, I just downloaded the latest nightly (R15141) but how do I install the noAI beacause i don't have an map called AI

[Conditional Zenith]

NoAI is part of the trunk, you don't need to install it. I don't know why you are looking for a map, you either download AIs from the content server, or you create a directory called ai that is next to the data directory, and put AIs in there.

I don't know why you are looking for a map

Probably he got hit by a false friend. I don't know Dutch, but in Swedish which has much common with other European languages, "mapp" has the same meaning as the English word "Directory" when one is speaking about computers.

[Conditional Zenith]

ahh. That does make sense. Anyway, in the context of the above post, using map instead of directory or folder is really confusing.

Yeah exactly sorry for my bad english, i meant Directory ofcourse

EDIT:
I got it working now (sort of)
Because openttd is recognising the downloaded AI (admiralai-v19)
But it didn't build anything. (see screenshot)
I made a directory called ai and put the downloaded file in there but nothing happens.

Use the "online content download" feature to get the libraries.
