1. Description:

I really do love this game, it is very fun to play, and would hate if it would go to waste so I ended up here and found the fantastic CarrierTools!

One problem is the whimpy Carrier AI that runs past you, doing nothing most of the times. Reading the script-code for the carrier, it actually does attack you only in one case (if he has nowhere to go) due to what I call a tiny bug.
Since I'm an old programmer and had some time I scanned through the AI-code and I found and fixed one AI-problem
in uec_militaryadvisor.h in the class MilitaryAdvisor, function: AnalyzeNeeds.

With this fix, if you get too close to him he might get very personal and come after you with walruses and mantas!
The Carrier-battles will be awesome! But he will still run if he is scared of you.
I changed that single line of code it is about and increased his "attack-awareness"-radius. You see, the code for launching all mantas, all walruses and other stuff already exists but it is not called when you would like it to do.

Since I have not asked for a permission to release a mod I probably wont do that for a while. But I will make a personalized experience anyway at the meantime.

2. Usage

In uec_militaryadvisor.h in the class MilitaryAdvisor, function: AnalyzeNeeds replace the following:

if ( AvoidEnemyCarrier )
WriteNeed( Logger, mem, this, GOTO_ISLAND, enCurr.GetArea(), 0, 9 );
else
{

if ( myCurr == enCurr && d < 320.0 ) // 1000m
{
WriteNeed( Logger, mem, this, ASSAULT_CARRIER, enemy.GetID(), 0, 9 );
else
WriteNeed( Logger, mem, this, GOTO_ISLAND, enCurr.GetArea(), 0, 9 );
}

With:

if ( AvoidEnemyCarrier )
	WriteNeed( Logger, mem, this, GOTO_ISLAND, enCurr.GetArea(), 0, 9 );
else				
{
	if ( d < 640.0 ) // 2000m
	{
		WriteNeed( Logger, mem, this, ASSAULT_CARRIER, enemy.GetID(), 0, 9 );
	}
			
	else
	{
		WriteNeed( Logger, mem, this, GOTO_ISLAND, enCurr.GetArea(), 0, 9 );
	}
}
