I've loaded OpenTTD nightly11503NoAI Win32 copied my main.nut the subdirectory. This is only a bittle playing around with these and that. So i looked over the tutorial in the wiki and over the writeai in ai subdirectory.

I started OpenTTD with the following line:

Code: Select all

openttd -a "Virus AI" -g

A game started and seven AI-Players joined, but its nothing to see in console. So where are my printings? Do i need to redirect a special AI console to the normal one or do some config work? I've tried to search for such a problem in forum, but that damn forum searchtool wants a three-character search key => "AI" is to short

.

main.nut

Code: Select all

according to the lack of "./" in the beginning of your shell command I assume you are running windows. To get the output´from your print-statements you need to tell OpenTTD to open a debug window using the "-d" argument. So instead use:

Code: Select all

openttd -d -a "AI name" -g

I have not checked your squirrel code for mistakes as it might be correct, just that you have not opened the debug window yet.
