AI Scripts modding tutorial/research
Hi, I made some progress with MMH7 scripts modding. I found how to inject my own scripts into game. I don't have time to make any usable mod but I want to share my knowledge. I think that modding of Artificial Intelligence scripts is possible and I wrote tutorial how to do it.
My project is fork of LukaOo code. Thank you LukaOo again.

Nice work. You sure got talent but it's a shame that it's wasted on such a forgettable game. 
If such levels of programming are involved, I'd rather make my own game than continue working on that abomination.  (yes, I don't use unreal's default damage class)

Outstanding job, Biopat! (suggesting to award you with QP)
Hopefully someone finds a way how to fix some of the biggest problems.
Especially if Ubi is not planning to release another HoMaM or MMH, it would be extremely nice to see H7.5 coming one day.

/signed  , would be cool to see some remaing Bugs fixed at last, like the infinite aoe Loop of AI Units in Firewalls etc., or an AI mage that actually has some high lv spells and knows how to use em, one can still dream!

just for case anyone is ever going to do an AI mod for the game, one big Problem is that AI is not always using skills of creatures and spells on hereos even if it has a spell, it seems dmg spells with target enemy work fine, buff spells are just randon thrown in but some spells like heal i dont think the AI can cast the A_Heal spell
edit: just checked that post again and too bad that Person didnt continue working on it even he had such bug sucess /: maybe he will come back at some Point and do a Little AI mod at last

Hello H7 fans,
When I offered my help for IA improvement on UCP mod to Antalyan, he sent me here.
So here I am, trying to start from BioPat's work.
I followed his useful wiki: [url=https://github.com/BatPio/Might-And-Magic-Heroes-VII-Mods/wiki]https://github.com/BatPio/Might-And-Magic-Heroes-VII-Mods/wiki[/url]
But I am getting errors on script compilation:
Quote:
--UDKBase - Release--
Analyzing...
D:GamesMH7-SonnyDevelopmentSrcUDKBaseClassesMobilePlaceablePawn.uc(64) : Error, BEGIN OBJECT: No base template named CollisionCylinder found in parent class GamePawn: Begin Object Name=CollisionCylinder
D:GamesMH7-SonnyDevelopmentSrcUDKBaseClassesSimplePawn.uc(160) : Warning, ComponentProperty Engine.Actor:Components.Components: unresolved reference to 'Sprite)'
D:GamesMH7-SonnyDevelopmentSrcUDKBaseClassesSimplePawn.uc(160) : Error, Unable to parse parameter value 'Sprite)' in defaultproperties array operation: Components.Remove(Sprite)
D:GamesMH7-SonnyDevelopmentSrcUDKBaseClassesSimplePawn.uc(163) : Error, BEGIN OBJECT: No base template named CollisionCylinder found in parent class GamePawn: Begin Object Name=CollisionCylinder
Compile aborted due to errors.
I will eventually deal with this error. I already understand that BioPat's files overwrites UDK's. I just have to dive in and make my own compilation of both source code.
But it seems like I don't have the good UDK base, even if, as advised by BioPat, I took UDK-2014-02 that I found here:
[url=https://forums.unrealengine.com/legacy-tools-unreal-engine-3-udk/udk-content-creation-and-design/69672-all-udk-downloads?p=925576#post925576]https://forums.unrealengine.com/legacy-tools-unreal-engine-3-udk/udk-content-creation-and-design/69672-all-udk-downloads?p=925576#post925576[/url]
Have someone already worked this out and may speed me up?
Thanks,
Vildark

Hello there,
As I said I would, I did managed to compile scripts.
For information, that's what I did:
Pawn.uc: BioPat's Pawn.uc was missing defaultProperties so I took them from UDK's.
DefaultEngine.ini:
Completed necessary packages list:
Quote:
[UnrealEd.EditorEngine]
+EditPackages=OnlineSubsystemUPlay
+EditPackages=MMH7Engine
+EditPackages=MMH7GameStub
+EditPackages=AkAudio
+EditPackages=MMH7Game
After that, compilation was succesful.
Then, I added MMH7AIMod.u to my game, but now the game crash on launch.
I have 3 ideas of how to fix it:
- look at the crash log if there is one
- fix all compilation warnings
- find specifities of BioPat's mod between 1.8 and 2.21 version (because I am currently trying on 1.8 as I did not buy the game yet, therefore my other thread on what to buy.). Problem is, I don't know how to get .uc files for 1.8 (BioPat only shared 2.21 .uc files. But maybe they are the same. I don't know).
Like before, any help would be gladly appreciated.
Thanks

I finally bought Trial by Fire.
I followed BatPio's instructions:
Copy "UDKGameScriptMMH7AIMod.u" to game directory "Might and Magic Heroes VIIMMH7GameCookedPC"
Open file "[My Documents]My GamesMight & Magic Heroes VIIMMH7GameConfigMMH7Engine.ini". Add to section [Engine.ScriptPackages] entry NativePackages=MMH7AIMod
Run game and wait until main menu appears.
Inject mod dll "MMH7ScriptsMod.dll" using "Extreme Injector".
I used BatPio's MMH7ScriptsMod.dll and MMH7AIMod.u (MMH7ScriptsAIModExampleUdk/UDKGame/Script/).
But I don't see any difference in AI behaviour. They can still wait or not wait. Maybe because it is not compatible with Trial by fire.
Has someone already made this work?
@Antalyan: Can you please try on 2.2.1 vanilla?

What exactly shall I try?
If you have any question regarding Biopat's work, I suggest that you could contact him, that's probably the easiest way to hget the answers.

Thanks for cheering me up MoritzBradtke 
I am already trying to contact BatPio. 
You should follow the installation process of AI mod:
1) Copy https://github.com/BatPio/Might-And-Magic-Heroes-VII-Mods/blob/master/MMH7ScriptsAIModExampleUdk/UDKGame/Script/MMH7AIMod.u
Paste it in game directory: Might and Magic Heroes VII / MMH7Game / CookedPC (where there already is MMH7Game.u)
2) Open file "[My Documents] / My Games / Might & Magic Heroes VII / MMH7Game / Config / MMH7Engine.ini". Add to section [Engine.ScriptPackages] entry: NativePackages=MMH7AIMod
3) Download extreme injector: https://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=21570 (You might have to register on the site)
4) Download MMH7ScriptsMod.dll here: https://github.com/BatPio/Might-And-Magic-Heroes-VII-Mods/releases
5) Run game and wait until main menu appears.
6) Inject "MMH7ScriptsMod.dll" using "Extreme Injector".
Then see if IA will always wait.
I hope it works, because Biopat's did a huge work, and it would be very hard to fix it.

@vildark
I don't have just the plain vanilla either but it should not make any difference, both of them are merged, only some content is locked without TbF.
EDIT:
One unrelated question, would you be able to look into the properties of Moats? I don't have any idea how the things you do work but I have run out of all ideas what to do with them, there must be a mistake in the source code, so the creature is trapped inside.
I tried to changed them into Traps but the game treats them as if they were creatures from one half, so they can be targeted etc.
If you are able to do sth. with at least one of those archetypes, I'd be really thankful.

Ok let me know if IA mod work for you.
Arf IA get stuck in Moats too?! Maybe it is the same problem as AOE like firewall. I won't test what I change for the moment as the mod doesn't work on my game, but I can already look into the source code to get the problem.

I cannot test myself at this moment but I will pass that to my testing team to do that
It's not the problem of AI but of general mechanics, any creature entering the moat is trapped there forever, even controlled by the player.

just in case u make Progress with the AI MOD and Need some hints what could Need improvement, let me know, Combat AI is fine for most part, Adventure AI could Need some improvements but without putting some effort in and it and being able to understand everything what is written in the AI script, it seems impossible to improve the script, i've alrdy checked both so i do understand how some Things in the game work but i dont understand everything in the scripts

It won't matter long anyway: I got in touch with Biopat. I think he will quickly help me through it
Oh ok for moats. But now I wonder, does the player get stuck in AOE like firewall too? That would explain why IA get stuck in AOE: not an IA problem but an AOE problem. I will test this evening. And I will soon look into moats source code.
Thank you MoritzBradtke. I think it will definitly come in handy that you already looked into it. I will get back to you as soon as AI mod work for me.

It has been tested and it doesn't seem to do what's intended - however, I'm glad you find a better way to get desirable information.
The problem is that the player is wise enough to get out of the AOC while the AI is not and stays in. However, there is another problem with Firewall: The interrupt movement action in the whole game does not work correctly.
