Loading AI

[scallas]

Hi there, I'm trying to load the ai I created using the online tutorials at openTTD NoAI site.
But everytime I start OpenTTD (in admin mode) it doesn't load my AI.
I did download other AI's in online content in game and they work, but not the one's I create, Even if I copy and past the contents of the main and info files it doesn't appear in AI settings!
Help please!

Probably your info.nut file is broken. Can you post it?

Just a basic file:

Code: Select all

class CyrusAI extends AIInfo 
{
  function GetAuthor()        { return "scallas"; }
  function GetName()          { return "CyrusAI"; }
  function GetDescription()   { return "My First attempt"; }
  function GetVersion()       { return 1; }
  function MinVersionToLoad() { return 1; }
  function GetDate()          { return "2010-11-02"; }
  function GetShortName()     { return "Cyrus"; }
  function CreateInstance()   { return "CyrusAI"; }
  function GetAPIVersion()    { return "1.0"; }
}

/* Tell the core we are an AI */
RegisterAI(CyrusAI());

http://noai.openttd.org/api/trunk/classAIInfo.html tells me that the shortname must be exacly 4 characters long. You use a longer shortname.

Thanks. That solved it!!

If you had started openttd with "-d ai=9" you would have gotten an error message telling you what exactly was wrong.

Is that loading the debug window?
