No AI file. Do not recommend in its current state as it's a pain to modify. The code is also questionable in itself:
- Use of NPC config width and height rather than v.width and v.height
- Every NPC spawns a cannonball in BOTH the FIRST and SECOND player's sections if there are 2 players.
- Lots of duplicate code.
- Cannonball spawn locations are hard-coded in the wrong ways: Changing cannonball size produces offsets. The code doesn't use the overload of NPC.spawn that auto-centers.

Is this the only cannons pack there is? It's quite buggy.

No. 8lue Storm made one too, and i suggest you to check it out - viewtopic.php?f=87&t=23372

Worth noting is that the pack linked here was created for Beta 3 and thus doesn't function as an NPC pack but as replacements instead. If I recall correctly, it's also not possible to normal-jump on the cannonballs in that pack. I think it would be much more helpful if you (Lord Exor) could describe in detail what kind of bugginess you're experiencing, so that the author of this pack has a chance to improve it.

The cannons react to gravity and layer movement in undesirable ways--they also don't fire soon enough once they appear on-screen, as they did in the source games. I'm savvy enough to change the velocity of the cannonballs to better match the velocity from the original game, but altering the firing delay once spawned eludes me.
