Analyzed Procedures and Flags

[Dio]

I am currently looking into functions that play an important role in determining various aspects of the AI behavior. I plan to release a text file with most of the information I have gathered once I have sufficently compiled accurate material. Presently, this thread is for any .exe coders that want to share the known functions of procedures or memory addresses with flags they have analzyed. I will start with the procedure at 005B9580. I know part of this procedure interacts Unit AI Plans. In particular it is switch 2 of 13 (hexadecimal) that interacts with the AI Unit Plans. In addition, Switch 6  of 13 interacts with Unit special ability flags. Finally, the most frequently called switch in the procedure is switch 2.

I am currently looking into functions that play an important role in determining various aspects of the AI behavior. I plan to release a text file with most of the information I have gathered once I have sufficently compiled accurate material. Presently, this thread is for any .exe coders that want to share the known functions of procedures or memory addresses with flags they have analzyed. I will start with the procedure at 005B9580. I know part of this procedure interacts Unit AI Plans. In particular it is switch 2 of 13 (hexadecimal) that interacts with the AI Unit Plans. In addition, Switch 6  of 13 interacts with Unit special ability flags. Finally, the most frequently called switch in the procedure is switch 2.

5B9580 takes the unit whose number is passed in argument 1, and finds the number of units in that square fulfilling certain other properties (depending on the other arguments, one of which is the switch).  So not purely AI.

(Also, be aware that AI unit plans, despite the name, are not purely AI-relevant; many other properties, such as ability to convoy resources or carry units, also seem to depend on this value.)

Here are some additional flags I have discovered:

0090E8EC: Custome Game Rules Flags
Do or Die: Don't restart eliminated players: 1
Total War: Allow Victory by Conquest: 2
Mine, All Mine: Allow Economic Victory: 4
Peace in Our Time: Allow Diplomatic Victory: 8

No Unity Survey: World Map not visible: xh, 1 or 100
Blind Research: Cannot set precise research goals: xh, 2 or 200
Iron Man: Save/Restore restricted to exit: xh, 4 or 400
Higher Goal: Allow Victory by Transcendence: xh, 8 or 800
One for All: Allow Cooperative Victory: xh, 10 or 1000
No Unity Scattering: Supply Pods only at landing sites: xh, 20 or 2000
Spoils of War: Steal tech when conquer base: xh, 40 or 4000
Bell Curve: No Random Events: xh, 80 or 8000

0090E8F0:
Randomize faction leader personalities: 80 00 00
Randomize faction leader social agendas: 1 00 00 00

This could be very useful.  Thanks.

005BF1F0: Is one of the procedures that controls the appearance of Special Ability Names in Scripts.
The associated value for each Special Ability is as follows:
   Super Former: 1
   Deep Radar: 2
   Cloaking Device: 4
   Amphibious Pods: 8
   Drop Pods: 10
   Air Superiority: 20
   Deep Pressure Hull: 40
   Carrier Deck: 80
   AAA Tracking/Tracking Lasers: 1 00
   Comm Jammer: 2 00
   Antigrav Struts: 4 00
   Empath Song: 8 00
   Polymorphic Encryption: 10 00
   Fungicide Tanks: 20 00
   High Morale: 40 00
   Heavy Artillery: 80 00
   Clean Reactor: 1 00 00
   Blink Displacer: 2 00 00
   Hypontic Trance: 4 00 00
   Heavy Transport: 8 00 00
   Nerve Gas Pods: 10 00 00
   Repair Bay: 20 00 00
   Non-Lethal Methods: 40 00 00
   Slow Unit: 80 00 00
   Soporific Gas Pods: 1 00 00 00
   Dissociative Wave: 2 00 00 00
   Marine Detachment: 4 00 00 00
   Fuel Nanocells: 8 00 00 00
   Algorithimic Enchancement: 10 00 00 00

In particular, 5BF1F0 tests if unit number arg1 has any of the abilities whose corresponding bits are set in Arg2.  (Usually, only one such bit is set so it only tests for that ability, but it could be used to test for multiple abilities simultaneously.)

The order is simply the order in which they appear in alphax.txt.

Some flags I know for certain that pertain to Diplomatic relationships.

0096C9F8:

Treaty: 2
Truce: 4
Commfreq: 8
Vendetta: 10
I want revenge: 20
I shall betray: 4 00

I want to talk: 20 00
I am atrocity victim: 4 00 00
I have surrendered: 2 00 00 00

Those sounds like the diplo flags in the scenario editor.

Actually, for the relationship faction #x has with faction #y, these are at 96C9F8+20CC*x+4*y.

It appears as though the procedure at address 005B0E00 has some important impacts on the appearance on certain AI Editor traits.

[Dio]

It appears as though part of the controls for AI production of colony pods is at address 004FB69C. What I have read so far is this:
If the current base population is less than 2, and the nutrient surplus of the base exceeds the mineral surplus, and nutrient surplus is equal to or greater than 1; than produce a colony pod.
