Scavs are more aggressive when it comes to picking up scrap.  They still have some dumb behaviors.

For example, if a ship blows up right next to one of your scavs, that scav will still choose to drive 1/2 across the map to pick up some scrap that was preplaced on the map before picking up the scrap that was right next to it.  This is especially noticeable in BZC since its scavs use doDrop = true.

(Oh, and I heard that they were supposed to run from danger. But they dont? They just sat there like in PB3 and got maulered to death)

[ScavengerClass]
[ScavengerHClass]
isFearless = false

they run when they are shot to the nearest friendly building

i have witnessed one drive into an area with an enemy turret; first it drove out of range of the turrets fire, then back to my recycler

i say they are far more intelligent

however the scrap bug is going to be annoying
Others would merely say it was good humour.

The thing about the scrap is that it probably looks in a list of all the scrap (maybe all objects on the map?) and just iterates through it a certain amount, ignoring all after a certain length, and just goes to the closest one (maybe if not already marked as being gone after by something else).  I think I recall once that GSH said that said lookups do not use an octree or other sorting system, just a dumb (by dumb I mean it is simple, no 'smartness' to it to make it faster, programming term...) iteration and it would have been quite a bit of work to change that (I have some good templated octree code (and some other forms of 3d and 4d trees) you could drop in to help it with sorting, or with other things :) ).

this is not really a bug - well it might be

i have a bone to pick

when i have a unit that is controlled by the dll, ordered to do something with a priority of 1, and then ordered to do something with a priority of 0, i am supposed to be able to command it. Instead it has a small reticle in the middle of the unit (like at a terminal) and cannot be controlled any more. Since there is no chance of pb5 any time soon, could somebody tell me another way to get dll controlled units back under my contol via dll?

DM bots seem to have become worse at sub-attacking now. I can follow one who is doing its 'hunt' thing, and it won't fire upon me until I shoot it first.

On bot vs human, they seem to take a little more initiative, but some of them will just sit there in many cases.

I dig the way the bots sometimes go for powerups.

Enemy AI still lacks in the evasiveness/initiative department. I thought the AI on them was supposed to be improved?

As long as they are on your team (if they are not, change them to your team first) just add them to a group using the get best group function or whatever it is called, and set them to that group, if their group's are full, keep checking it every once in a while and set it when available (perhaps giving them a message to clear a group or something), or just force them into one of them (the dll can do it) if there is no empty one available...

bigbadboogie, it is not something that can be fixed in the AIPs.  It is an engine bug that already has a fix in place.  It'll be released to the testers for testing hopefully along with some settings to help get some info on the out of sync issue.

There are two changes AI scavengers could benefit from.

1.  PIck up closest piece of scrap first instead of those with the lowest sequence number.

2.  Ignore scrap pieces claimed by another friendly scavenger.  Similar to how pools behave.

#2 would fix the five scavengers fighting over the same piece of scrap issue.  They pick up the piece, but they would be a lot more effective if they went after their own piece of scrap.

@Nielk1 I can easily play a g66 for almost over 3 hours on insane most of the time about which is 85% without crashing. Basic mpi runs great. Not sure what everyone else has a problem with. They could post it on the boards or there is any reference?
