trigger problem with the last FS nod mission Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

I recently played the last FS nod mission (fsnod09.map) and had to notice a problem with the AI.
In the moment when you normally get the small Cabal Base in the NE revealed (Core, Firestorm defense etc), in my mod it doesn't only reveal Cabal, it also makes him an ally to me. (i can see Cabals energy state on the PPs and he won't attack me anymore)

Has anyone an idea what modification in rules.ini can cause a normal map reveal trigger to change into an ally trigger?
Or can someone find out how the whole reveal stuff works in this last mission? (maybe it's a short "make ally - undo ally" thing, but the "undo ally" doesn't works anymore and he stays an ally)

Since all my new stuff is added to the end of each rules.ini list ([InfantryTypes], [BuildingTypes] etc), it shouldn't affect the original stuff which is still almost the same.

Thats strange, and unless you edited the map (what from you said you didn't), i cant see how it would so do it...

Have you added or edited the houses at all?

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

no, the houses and sides are still original. and the map isn't edited too.

really weird, it never happens to me before , maybe you can try to look at Globals Variable Names or Houses and Sides section in Rules.ini, i'm not really sure.

i found the problem.
It's the Paranoid= key which i've set to no.
With Paranoid=no, Cabal becomes an ally. (i can't believe that this key can cause so much trouble)

But to make sure that it is this one, i would like to see anyone of you testing this too.

I recall I haven't encountered such problem even when I had set "Paranoid=" to "no". I could be wrong though, it's been awhile since I last time played the FS campaign.

LKO is correct. The problem is occurring because of the 'Paranoid=no' tag. WW set it to '=yes' for a reason. I Tryed it with 'Paranoid=no' I had the same problem as LKO, but when I play with Tiberian Suns default .INI's it works perfectly fine.

thanks Aro for proving that's not only my mod. quite strange that this key, which is imo more a multiplayer setting also affects singleplayer.

However, i've set back Paranoid=no in my rules.ini and then edited all Missions and added [AI] Paranoid=yes. So i can play in MP and SP.
