This article is an unfinished work in progress or contains transferred information that needs to be rewritten or reformatted to fit our standards. Please excuse the mess and do not mark for deletion.
One of several Level Files located in a Mission's level folder, the PTL File controls the Artificial Intelligence of the Rock Raiders. It designates what actions the Rock Raider is capable of doing, and the default order of preference. Every Game Level uses basically the same contents. Tutorial Levels, however, disable certain actions by not including them in the PTL file. It is suggested that you leave this file alone, as it can seriously and adversely affect the behavior of the Rock Raiders.
Further research has revealed that it not only controls the Artificial Intelligence of the Rock Raiders, but also of other creatures. It even is possible to alter game events using the PTL File. Such as clearing Rubble causing Rock Monsters to emerge.
Below is a complete list of "messages" as the exe calls them
I have no idea how to arrange this, or what to call properties vs their "answers", especially the ones that can be used as both
