I assumed too much. I assumed earlier that SM_Krug_AI.dsres was the least likely mod to be breaking my saves, but I was wrong. Krug specific changes have been scrapped for now, and save games have worked fine while I fiddle with templates.gas.

I'm not discouraged, in fact it's perfectly ok, because a few of those changes I made assumed too much as well. In fact, this whole process has been centered around testing my assumptions and correcting my mistakes. This has been a hands on experience, and the main thing I'm learning is not to be afraid to try new things and revise assumptions as new data is made clear.

I assumed I could add booleans in templates.gas with a simple added line of text, but this is probably false. I found a list of these parameters in world\ai\jobs\common\brain_hero.skrit, and I'm assuming (sry ming) that I might be able to add to this list, but I want more experience and info before I'll try that. What I will be doing is using the default hero_brain.skrit and the other files in jobs/common as a reference for what changes are possible to all [mind]'s, good, evil, and indifferent.

Just reading these files is a gift of knowledge, though it has been a matter of tracking it all down and remembering where it was again later...

So, I'll just leave this here:
