how to remove tech/building recommendations in xml

[mmc02815]

i posted a thread in the general forums asking if there was a way to disable the "recommended (military), recommended (economy), etc." suggestions the computer makes when you are asked what building to build or technology to research (note i don't mean sid's tips, advisor popups or unit action recommendations). someone posted a reply in which they suggested deleting the relevent bits of text from the relevent xml file. could anyone advise if this would work, if it's safe, and if so, instruct me on how to go about it? i downloaded xml marker v 1.1 so i would like to utilise this if possible

thanks a bunch

are you talking about flavors?

I believe they determine the value of the tech/building...


just find the flavors in all techs and buildings and replace it with this:

			<Flavors/>

That makes all of them have no preference....


another thing is:

			<iAIWeight>0</iAIWeight>

the higher the number the more valuable it is to the AI decision to make it...

Most have 0 but I think there are a few buildings that have some "weight" to them (units also have this tagline)

just change all of them to that 0 value




I am not sure if that is what you mean... but I hope it helps
