BAT, BUG, Blue Marble, & Better AI

[AccipiterQ]

I've had these 3 installed, along with blue-marble, for a long time. I just decided to check for updates on all of them. What's the process for installing the latest version of all of them? Is there a certain order I must go in?

Just install BAT and you're good to go. It includes BUG and Blue Marble..., and BULL (BUG DLL). Because of the latter you can't use Better AI at the moment as BAI comes with its own DLL. EF is working on a merge but it's currently low priority, afaik.

cool, thanks!

You can, however, install BetterAI's DLL over the one in BAT. You'll get the improved AI at the cost of the extra UI improvements in BULL.

How difficult would a merge be? I kind of dread Windows programming (I'm much more of a UNIX programmer), but I always miss BAT when I use BBAI, and I miss BBAI when I use BAT. It makes me very sad.

How difficult would a merge be?

1. Install BBAI
2. Copy BBAI/Assets/CvGameCoreDLL.dll to BAT/Assets, replacing the one there

Note that the folder names inside the Mods folder won't be BBAI and BAT but rather something like "BBAI 0.80" and "BAT Mod 2.0".
