Does anyone know a good free/cheap AI engine that can be used for an MMORPG. My team is working on an MMORPG and we thought it would be alot easier to find an engine to use for AI. I''ve been searching and I can''t find any. Is there even such a thing? Does anyone know of any AI engines? Thanks alot.

it aint that hard to make it for a game.
All you need is path finding, and when to do things like wander around town, hunt, run, fight etyv

ai engine....if there are any it''ll be hard to make it work specifically for your game.

Maybe when I''ve finished mine Joke. Everyone says that...

Try looking at LUA for any scripting you need to do. Just do a search for A* code. There will probably be plenty out there that''s open source - that''ll do for pathfinding.

Best of luck.

Since AI is so specific to the genre and what it is you want your specific design to do, engines are almost non-existant. However, you will find multitudes of "tools" to use to solve given problems such as pathfinding and interaction. In most cases, you will have to do so much customization of the AI, you may as well write it yourself.
