Set the default AI players

Hi. I'm playing with AI from time to time and I'm getting tired with having to set the nations and AI difficulty levels manually each time I start new game. Is it possible to save the AI players list I preset, so that they appear automatically when I click "Start New Game"? I'm not talking about the number, but AI difficulty (per AI), nations, leaders' names and colors.

I don't think you can get the colors set, but for leader names and nations derived from them you could write a set of "create" and difficulty setting server commands to a file and run that with "/read <file>" when ever you want that set of AI players created.
e.g: ai_players.serv:

Hey, that's a good tip.
I agree wholly with baltazar's comments. Now my question of course:
Cazfi: Could you expand a bit on how to go about it? From your "Code" example, you need to include the AI difficulty, but how do add the nations? More AIs?

I don't think setting the nation is possible via commands. Setting the color, however, is:
Code: Select all
set plrcolormode PLR_SET
create AnAIPlayer
playercolor AnAiPlayer ff0000

'Create' command sets the nation based on player's name. 'Hammurabi' is leader of Babylonians.

(DUH!)
What I meant is how to write the list, let's say 7 AI players with 'normal' difficulty and their respective nations and colors.
I figure that using a text editor to write said list, naming it, copying it to chat line with the /read command should do it. That's what I do with the 'my_settings-2.6.0.serv' file, since it has all those inner commands (like 'metapatches' 'cmdlevel', etc.) are already written.
My question is what is the syntax to be used?
I hope I'm making sense...
