Mod Deals

[BentonGrey]

Howdy guys, I've been working on a mod for one of the skinners who accepted Tomato's trade off, and I've run into something truly bizarre.  I've got a character that I've built in from this skinner's herofile using M25's RR tool.  I've got him set up properly (Hero template, no Zero Cost or Generic Hero AI, and complex branded), although at first he had the duplicate cop AI selected.  However, every time I load the mission with this guy in it, he attacks the rest of the team.  What the heck is going on?!

I'm getting the following traceback, but it may as well be in Greek as far as I'm concerned:

The second error is probably not the cause of your problem (might be a secondary consequence of it, though). For the first one, the AI cannot find the character to which it should apply AI behaviors. I suggest you enable M25's AI debug messages to get more precise info.

[BentonGrey]

Thanks for the advice Epi, how does one go about enabling that?

Check your M25aidata.py file and see if this guy is already using a M25ai setup as a villain.

Alright, I've solved the traitor problem, but I've got several more now.  Also, this is probably about to take a detour into scripting territory, so if someone decides that it belongs in that forum, feel free to move it.

I've got a pretty simple setup, but something is going wrong with it.  I have a feeling that whatever is happening is due to my copying the scripts folder from another mod (PCTales) into this one, but I can't be sure.  That has never caused me problems before.  Basically, there are two encounters starting the mission, a fight and an interrogation.  The fight encounter's alert CS plays just fine, but then its start CS won't play.  Also, three of the spawned villains, Storm, Wolverine, and Nightcrawler (always the same three), don't seem to have their AI enabled.  They just sit there.  Also, the simple choice encounter at the end isn't working, but I imagine that's because I've got it set up wrong.  Other CSes seem to be playing, but this opening bit is really driving me nuts.  I need some help, guys:

Here is the pertinent part of the script itself:

And here is the script.log.  I'm seeing a similar error to the one that showed up in my previous post.  So, how can I fix this?
