Homunculus AI Fix

The SultanRO client comes with AzzyAI (by Dr. Azzy), a smarter AI for homunculi and mercenaries. Out of the box it does not attack monsters on this server: AzzyAI treats anything with an ID above 100,000 as a player, but on SultanRO every monster has an ID of 110,000,000 or more. So your homunculus thinks every monster is a player and leaves it alone. This fix tells AzzyAI the real player ID range (2,000,000 to 99,999,999).

2. Install

1. Close the game.
2. Open your SultanRO folder (the one with SultanRO.exe).
3. Extract the zip into that folder and choose Replace / Overwrite when asked. The files land in AI\USER_AI\.
4. Start the game and log in.
5. Type /hoai in chat. If it says the homunculus is now using the default AI, type /hoai once more so it says custom (User) AI. For mercenaries, do the same with /merai. You only need to do this once.

The fix only replaces AI.lua, AI_M.lua and AI_main.lua and adds SultanRO_Fix.lua. Your own settings (H_Config.lua, M_Config.lua, tactics) are not touched, and saving in AzzyAIConfig.exe will not undo the fix.

3. Recommended settings (optional)

The settings that ship with the client keep the homunculus glued to you. For a homunculus that hunts on its own, change these in AI\USER_AI\AzzyAIConfig.exe, or edit AI\USER_AI\H_Config.lua in Notepad:

After changing settings, type /hoai twice (off, then on) to reload them.

Still not attacking?

• It only attacks first while its HP is above AggroHP. Heal it with the Alchemist skill Aid Potion.
• Alt+T toggles standby. If you pressed it by accident, press it again.
• Check that AAIStartH.txt in your SultanRO folder says started successfully.
• Still stuck? Type /traceai, try for a minute, and send TraceAI.txt from your SultanRO folder to a GM.
