Spring RTS Engine

It is good to see that you are making good progress. :-D I had no time the last few weeks, but i hope i can start again tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to catch up again. nice pics!

thanks

How can I calculate where water is?

At the moment i use the height map, but i don't know the water height.

Merry Xmas or how we say it in Austria 'Sch├â┬Âne Weihnachten!'.

I can't really influence path finding. But I am working an placement problems.

I coded it so that it builds factories and builders once, so I can find errors better.

I will implement defence and attack units soon.

thanks for playing it. :-D

it is really strange. what happens: a builder builds something it is finished unitidle() update GetCurrentUnitCommands() == empty giveorder() unitidle() update GetCurrentUnitCommands() == empty giveorder() unitidle() update GetCurrentUnitCommands() == empty giveorder() .... i tested the old MyAI_0_0...

I tested it. If i build something and GetCurrentUnitCommands() is empty afterwards i wait 5 sec and then u update again. nothing changes! I order it to build something, but nothing happens.

return value is 0. my code: if(mAICallback->GetCurrentUnitCommands(i->first)->empty() == true) { // build ... } The problem is not that UnitIdle is never called. The problem is that it is called every update. The unit builds something and next update it builds again, and again! The best part is that...

i tested something and noticed that suddenly the builders stop building after some time. The find a good build pos and call giveorder, but then nothing happens. This happens: When they can't reach the build pos. (sometimes with UnitMoveFailed() and sometimes without) When they are to close to a buil...

yes please
At the moment it has some problems with playing with/against other ais.


Thanks for testing. How does it look like? At the moment it works best with absolute annihilation and metal maps with a small extraction radius like wideopencombat or core prime.

if you want we can talk about threads tomorrow

i used them in some projects

I would not use threads. Can i specify (and vary, runtime) the amount of processor time (in %, since it will run on different machines, absolute numbers wont work)? no, only priority or you are a genius and programme your own :-D Does it slow the program down compared to a single thread doing the sa...

new version :-D

see first post

developing MyAI

to you really use 0_0_3b?

in this version i fixed factory building crash bug

please send log_*.txt
*... a number

and modname_comname.txt

Is there a folder MyAI in TASpring\aidll\globalai\?
this could crash.

If not please send me the log file.

UPDATE: I tested MyAI with 0.67b3 and it worked.

this sucks

Why didn't you make a lan server and tested your ai with the old version of spring?

I saw one post that referred to millions of iterations... just to scan for metal and make decisions about planting mexes.

This will be done the first time you play a new map and then never again! And how do you want to find good build places for mexes?

good idea, but i am also thinking about having only 2 classes. one for units and one for buildings. Or only one class, but different modules(build options, weapons, movement, ...). I am not sure what i will do.

I can only speak for my own mod, but i think all mod independent, learning ais are to some degree similar. I think you haven't full understood, what we mean with learning. AI sends three units up a hill. My HLT kills them. What has the AI "learned"? 1. "I shouldn't send my units up hi...
