Modifying CRAIG AI

[Von66341]

Hey! Hey!

I am trying to use Spring and Spring 1944 to aid in analysing how different people learn when playing real time strategy games.

I have actually have a new side in Spring 1944, and would like to modify CRAIG AI to be able to play using my side. How should I go about doing it?

p/s: I not sure if I am posting at the correct forum, feel free to shift my post =)

Thanks!

CRAIG should be fairly side agnostic unless your new side works in a radically different manner to the others... Even then all it does is either:

1. Map profile is present, send units along the waypoints to cap flags then attack base
2. No map profile is present, issue fight command to all attacking units to enemy base

I have this error message at the moment:
LuaRules::RunCallIn: error = 2, RecvFromSynced, [string "LuaRules/Gadgets/craig/base.lua"]:224: C.R.A.I.G. is not configured properly to play as battalion

How do I add a side that is recongise by CRAIG AI?

At current my CRAIG AI does not move out from the start point, but fire back automatically when attacked.

Thanks!

Ah yes, totally forgot :

LuaRules/Configs/craig/s44/buildorder.lua
LuaRules/Configs/craig/s44/unitlimits.lua

Should be fairly self explanatory.

Thanks FLOZi!

I edited buildorder.lua and the error message disappear.

What does line 235 -241 does?
However using my new side my AI still doesn't send units to attack my base. Any ideas why?

Thanks!

There's no entry in gadget.unitBuildOrder for your side... What is the starting unit of your side? Is it a structure or a mobile builder?

[Von66341]

If I do not want my AI to build anything, i leave it blank?
starting unit is a structure.

On a map without waypoints, only newly built units will ever receive orders from CRAIG...

[Von66341]

I manage to create the waypoint file (mapname.lua) for the units to work.

When I play with other side, my waypoint work perfectly.

However, when I play with my side it doesn't work. Hmm...any suggestion why?
