You're right. It is mod-dependant. But then again, so is AAI. An AI writen
for AA. And this is what I'm requesting. The sidedata.tdf file that he has. The one
for AA. Really
anyone who has it could give it to me.
You, for example.
could give it to me. No one's offered of all the times I've asked for it, so I'm asking Submarine directly, seing as how I know he
must have it or else he wouldn't be able to launch his own AI that he authored. Again, I realize he is not under any obligation nor is it his responsability to do so, it is just a humble favor asked from a fan.

Clearly, I don't have the file. I'm at a loss as to why people don't believe that. I'm not "lying" to you. I'm not deriving any sort of macabre pleasure in attempting to decieve anyone, nor would there be any motivation to do so. I really would like to play. I'm sure it would be a grand time.
All I've wanted for the last two days... is the file.
That's it.
I suppose ultimately, I may be forced to write my own sidedata.tdf file. I'm assuming that it is plain ASCII information parsed under a spesific formatting, though I can't verrify this, given that I
don't have the file. So, I suppose as an alternative request, if someone could point me in the right direction for the relevant source material which documents how the file is laid out, I'll get to work writing my own.
Of course that would be nearly ridiculous, an exercise approaching intellectual bankruptcy, but I would be willing to do that to solve this problem.
It may even, if this progresses further, come down to my actually offering a
bounty for the file. Say, $10 dollars over PayPal to the first person to make it available to me. Though, I'm not
quite ready to do that just yet, though it may become a possibility once all other options have been exhausted.

That's your fault...
For exemple, have you launched the AI through the lobby, or through Spring.exe ? Are you sure to have a mod installed, what? etc..
All of the above. Launching through Spring.exe or SpringSP.exe results in the missing file error (the file I'm requesting a link to). Launching through the lobby results in an automatic and instant victory the moment my commander spawns.
I apologise again for the further erosion of your thread, Submarine. Though if anyone would be so kind as to enable a means of my acquisition of that file, please PM me. Last time I'll be heard from about the matter in this thread, either way.
