How to set Autotrade priorities for the AI and other .inc settings

[NiL_FisK|Urd]

After some analyzing of the savegame files, i found the following variables in the savegame:

Auto-Trade variables:

blocked_export = { 0 0 0 0 0 0 } # 1 is blocked
blocked_import = { 0 0 0 0 0 0 } # 1 is blocked
FocusImportValue = { 5.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 } # Oil / Energy / Metal / Rares / ? Supplies / ? Money

Expenses

	expense_consumer_need = 0.7500 
	expense_military = 1.0000 
	expense_intelligence = 0.0000 
	expense_research = 1.0000 
	expense_nuclear = 1.0000 
	expense_nuclear_power = 1.0000 
	expense_synthetic = 1.0000 
	expense_synthetic_rares = 1.0000

Autoslider Settings

	autoslider_advanced_max = { 1.0000 1.0000 1.0000 0.1000 0.0500 1.0000 } # Consumer goods / Production / Supplies / Reinforcements / Upgrades / Repair provinces
	autoslider_advanced_min = { 0.0000 0.0000 0.1000 0.0020 0.0010 0.0020 }

Starting Slider Settings

	consumer = 0.500
	supply = 0.150
	production = 0.150 
	reinforcement = 0.0100 
	upgrading = 0.150 
	#Province Repair is 1 minus the sum of the others

All of these variables have to be set in the .inc files, in the "country = {" section, e.g:

country =
{ tag                    = GER
  capital                = 300

  manpower               = 1800 #850

  # Resource Reserves
  energy                 = 1000
  metal                  = 1000
  rare_materials         = 500
  oil                    = 500
  supplies               = 500
  money                  = 70
  
	expense_consumer_need = 1.0000 
	expense_military = 1.0000 
	expense_intelligence = 0.0100 
	expense_research = 1.0000 
	expense_nuclear = 1.0000 
	expense_nuclear_power = 1.0000 
	expense_synthetic = 1.0000 
	expense_synthetic_rares = 1.0000 
  
  	blocked_export = { 1 0 0 1 0 0 } 
  	blocked_import = { 0 0 0 0 0 0 }
	FocusImportValue = { 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 }

	autoslider_advanced_max = { 1.0000 1.0000 1.0000 0.1000 0.0500 1.0000 } 
	autoslider_advanced_min = { 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.100 0.1000 0.1000 }

Note that changing these variables affects human players (who can change them manually), but the ai is stuck with these settings as there are no event commands to change them later.

You could load different values via AI switch file.

 

[NiL_FisK|Urd]

These settings are set in the country definition files (.inc), not in the ai files (.ai) - adding them to an ai file results in a critical error.

 

[Denniss]

That's strange indeed, at least some of them should be loadable via ai file.
