**What This Is**

Basically, we can all agree that the ally AI in Clans is not great and that we modders should try to fix it.

However, I am not an expert in game AI, and after seeing what the MW5: Mercs community went through with Shadows of Kerensky AI mod compatibility, I don't think it's wise for there to be **one** guy who becomes a bottleneck for AI mods.

So I am making an open source project for the AI mod, that does the following:

* Provides a [centralized location for storing information about how the AI works](https://github.com/korgano/MW5C_ClannerAI/wiki).
* Provides a [centralized location for modders to discuss how to improve the AI](https://github.com/korgano/MW5C_ClannerAI/discussions).
* Provides my work so far, so that people can get started faster.
* Two Unreal tutorials that might help.

The Wiki is currently WIP, with the vanilla AI configuration detailed, and screenshots of the modded AI config uploaded.

Since I have access to the Early Release Mod Editor, I can test the mod against upcoming DLC.



**Things I'm Looking for Help With**

* AI reactivity to enemy fire (they're currently glorified turrets).
* AI use of evasive maneuvers (they don't seem to use them).



**How to Install**

* Download [`ClannerAI.zip`](http://ClannerAI.zip) from the Assets folder.
* Install the MW5C mod editor.
* Navigate to `[DRIVE]:\EGS\MW5C[]Editor\Editor\MW5Clans\Mods`
* Paste and unzip `ClannerAI`
* Open `modlist.ini`.
* Add line `Mod=(Name="ClannerAI", Enabled=true)`.

  
Hope you'll help out, or at least spread the word.
