Any way to pause or temoraly disable ai autorun?Q: MikeB mentioned an auto-run feature that can be used to run a game without player intervention. This would be very useful for mod testing. Is there any way we can activate it now? If not, will we be able to in the future?
A: MikeB was very naughty to mention that and will shortly be fighting the company bear to pay for his mistake. :) This is a feature we use internally for debugging. Autorun is not something that we've openly advertised for released versions, and it's not normally something that a player would want to do, simply because they are *playing* the game rather than *watching* stuff happen. However, there's a -ai command line option that turns autorun on in release builds after the 1.2 patch. This doesn't work with earlier versions of the game.
Currently if I start game with -ai, it goes and goes and never stops.
And if I save game, and load it (after removing -ai), it still goes and goes...
No way to stop it.
And stoping is crucial, if I (and other moders) need to examine AI player game.
Mike, Shogun?
Please?
