Ok, you should be good to go at DescentiaPedia. Now, I haven't tested this, but it seems to me you should be able to use the Merc dll in a non Merc mission. It's possible, though that there are other considerations I am not aware of. If you put them in the D3M they should not affect any other missio...

I assume the bots in Merc use specific dll's and you were using them in your mission, but they had the same name as ones in D3. I haven't checked it out. So, now I am curious how you used the bots from Merc. Since you say it messes up the regular D3 bots. Sorry about the page on DescentiPedia... I l...

Re: D3 Singleplayer level - Almost finished

Unfortunately, the AI for the mercenary robots seems to mess up the AI of any D3 Retribution robot that wasn't in mercenary. I'd suggest you make a separate installation of D3 to play it. I wonder if you could rename the AI dll and use it that way... have you tried? I also have to find a site to up...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that '2ms' is usually misleading also... I think it was the way that they measure, gray to gray, instead of color.
