Summary0001778: ai_link_primaries problem
DescriptionThe $AI Always Links Energy Weapons and $AI Maybe Links Energy Weapons AI Profile settings are not interpreted correctly:

if (shipp->weapon_energy > The_mission.ai_profile->link_energy_levels_always[Game_skill_level]) {

comparing the ship's absolute energy level to a percentage doesn't do much good, so this must be:

if (shipp->weapon_energy * 100.0f / sip->max_weapon_reserve > The_mission.ai_profile->link_energy_levels_always[Game_skill_level]) {

 Good catch. Add an ai_profiles flag and I can commit this patch.

 I don't understand.. this is not retail. This was added by someone in FS_Open and uses above AI Profile lines to get the values. Why does this need an additional ai_profiles flag? It was a bug, this doesn't add a feature. The original feature was buggy.

 This *is* a retail feature. Go back and read the code more carefully. Compare it to the original source code release.

The only difference between retail and SCP is that in retail the percentages were defined in the code, and in SCP the percentages are defined in ai_profiles so that they can be edited.

 I see, so this bug was already in retail. I will make this a flag then alright.

Edit: New patch attached. Feel free to change the comment line again to something more appropriate if you think that is needed.

 Mostly. I tweaked it, then committed.
