I think I will have to try that, starting the game with a premade tank, the issue in my mind was that the tank data is saved to the players AppData folder so at first i didn't think that would work but now that I think about it that can probably get forced on first load up of the game.
You have revealed to me a key instruction I missed in the editor, it says you have to purchase the ai files first but it should also say you have to load them. I didnt even realize the menu popped up before loading, instead it should show a message saying to load a file or something, completely missed that since i normally just click load.
anyways it is functional you just have to load the file you want to edit first then the menu works properly.
were you able to figure out and follow why the tanks were making the decisions they were making?
