No, it attacks all enemies as well.

she attacks the core and certain (hardcoded) enemies from the labyrinth; enlight has a patch that overhauls her and among other things, allows targets to be defined individually with the 'unused' flag

Thanks! Where can I get that patch?

It's in BL (Booster's Lab) but here's some text files I made out of the hack.
To apply it, you'll need to use Autohacker. Only use "Enlight CURLYAI.txt" to apply the hack. (Also remove the text in the file as well.)
The other file is for addresses that you can modify with a Disassembler.

Why not just share the actual .xml (with editable values) instead of porting it to Autohacker from 2010? This seems completely redundant and made to be more confusing on purpose.

@LAIB You can download the latest freeware hacks from https://freewarehacks.doukutsu.club/. There is a download link if you scroll down the readme on that page.

If you use Sky Dragon Editor, you don't actually need to do this as the program is able to automatically update its copy of hacks from here.
If you use Booster's Lab, DELETE the "hacks" folder that is in your BoostersLab directory, then replace it with the "hacks" folder found in the "XML (BL Hackinator or BPP)" folder. Do NOT try to copy the files over and merge the two as that'll give you a bunch of duplicates. Delete the old "hacks" folder as this is just a newer one that includes everything.

Then my CurlyAI hack can be found under NPCs/enhanced vanilla/npc_improved_curlyai.xml . In Booster's Lab you'd get to it with Actions > Hackinator then NPCS > enhanced vanilla > npc_improved_curlyai .

Then, to make an enemy targetable, you'd edit NPC.tbl to apply the "unused" flag.

I don't think he can run BL, that's why I sent the text file instead of the XML.

@EnlightenedOne My computer won't run BL: The version that comes with the JRE is 64-bit, and my PC is 32-bit. Also, Java doesn't work because I only have 1GB of DDR2 RAM, and it can be upgraded to 2GB of DDR2 or DDR3 at a frequency of 667MHz. I should upgrade it, but where I live, I don't have enough money for that.
Furthermore, what keeps a community alive is modding. Now imagine that even to modify a game from 2004 you need a supercomputer, and I don't think it should be that way... especially since not everyone has a powerful PC (like me, for example).
And well, updating Autohacker is more of an individual project, but it's a tool that I think is still used (it appears in the Blink 2025 Guide) and updating it wouldn't be a bad idea. (I already applied a hack with the new version and it works perfectly!)
