Formations.txt - Page 2

Is there any way to choose which ships will be in each place? I've tried different things but it just doesn't seem to follow any pattern.

I think I'll drag this thread back to the top.

So, does anybody have any formations that they'd like to be added to this file?

Edit:
Hmm, guess I had better put a link to my file in here.

Formations.txt

I was try to modify the formations.txt file but the game kept giving me the "can't load file" error. It's driving me mad! Anybody got a solution?

My faulty formations.txt

Edit: Forgot to mention, I was trying to add a formation called castle.

Number of positions := 21

Changing it back to 35 doesn't help...

We could use an "Ultimate Formation Collection". Fixes any AI formation problems, and provides advanced formations for new players.

Finally got it fixed yeah!

I did some more simulator tests and I still think having all ships break formation and do their own jobs is a better way to go, especially since the AI loves to zig zag and doesn't know how to slow down for the people behind to catch up.

Okay, I'm now starting the Ultimate Strategies Mod (or some such other nonsense). So far, it will include Formations.txt and Default_AI_Strategies.txt. I think I'll make a new thread for requests/submissions. I'm going to host it along with the Image Mod on my server. SJ, can you do this to, once I get the files in order?
