Applying Custom unit properties into games?[Solved]

[DeluxeFlame]

Hey, my brother and I were trying to goof around with some nostalgic wc2. I set the unit properties and uncheck the use default in the map editor.
Then when creating the game on bne the unit properties don't stick (is it because we are playing in game type melee?) But it will work in custom scenario one player off of bne.

EDIT: Thanks CLAW, turns out we had to set up player properties as computers and use the game type 'use map default' to get what we wanted.

it has to be
-USE MAP SETTINGS
or
-top vs bottom with FIXED ORDER checked

hmm, I tried using map settings.
We are trying to play against computers. Is melee the only option with computers?
Top vs. bottom doesn't have them.

[I hate naggers]

you can play with computers using the Use map settings option.
to have computers, you gotta set the certain colours as computer by doing this in the war2 map editor:
player -> player properties -> computer (as opposed to human)

I made a crazy GOW version where knights were really strong and axers/archers were good so that humans and orcs would be useful and axers would be a worthwhile unit to line up behind footmen (and beefed up dragons/gryphons too I believe)

But since you need to run the game in fixed order it was kind of useless.

Oh map settings the game type. Turns out we had to change player properties into computers. Thanks Claw.

(hah just saw your post defining what I figured out, thanks!)

If anyone is still here, I remember there being AI's that were programmed better and smarter. I don't know if it was a mod or certain PUDs.
Do they still exist?

Probably Violent comps + AIE maps in combat is what you need?

That does sound similar to what I remember seeing in the past. However, my googling is coming up dry, every page I go to just talk about it in patch notes. How do I access/activate the violent/aie maps?

i suppose there are check boxes with it during the instalation of war2Combat client

Yes, and that checkbox is on by default.
There are all the campaign AI slots rewritten by self-made algorythms. That was a great job with it.

You can open properties for any map in AIE to check which campaign slot is being used for which purpose.
