M25 AI not working anymore...

[Mangler44]

 

Not sure what I fubbed up but the M25 watch mode in game no longer works.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything, and the watch mode worked till I transferred all my custom heroes, FX and sounds.  Would anyone have some input as to what I should look into to get this AI functioning again?  *edit* It appears that no M25 ai is working in game now.

I enjoy sitting back and watching the carnage as the super beings annihilated the city.  Any help in this matter would be most welcome.


Additional info...
I have FFX 3.3 as well as other community utilities for modding.  The only editing I have done to the game has been installing custom meshes, FXs and sounds.

Here's a stupid question, but when you reinstalled, are you using the FFX shortcut to start the game?
If thats not it, it might help if you posted your script.log after trying a game and having it not work.

It's located in the root game directory.

There are no stupid questions boss.  I think my issue may be mere "user error". 

I am using the FFX shortcut and here is the Script file you requested.

Whether you or anyone can help or not, I appreciate your time.

FFX, and not just the AI, appears to be choking on the fx.dat file.  Something might have happened to it when you were adding custom FX.  Try replacing the fx.dat file with the one that comes with FFX and see if that works.

[Mangler44]

It appears you are right M25.  I installed FFX into a new testing dir and it functioned as it should.  I then copied over my new edited FX.dat, Sound.dat and the directories needed for my new fx I had added into this new FFX install.  The watch mode still worked. 

So I deleted my old FFX dir and copied this new FFX dir in its place. This fixed my original install and all is working once more.  Your input in this matter has forced me to learn more about the workings of FFX and its components.  Maybe this post will help others with little querks that can creep up.

Thanks again M25 and GogglesPizanno for your time.
