KAIK 0.13 Unofficial (Spring 0.80.5*)

[Forboding Angel]

Yeah, 0.12 looks at the ratio between resource
levels and storage capacity to decide if it's low
on something and what to build next, so if it
suddenly gains a huge boost in either metal
or energy storage the decision process gets
thrown off until the balance is restored (which
can take quite a while if every extractor adds
+1000 of each ). Shouldn't be hard to fix.

Yep I thought that was it. Could you put out a release (If even only for me) to fix that little bug there? I really really really need KAI for testing, and this bug fucks kai 6 ways from sunday.

Also, something else I forgot to mention. Have kai start checking for the unit restricted tag. ATM it keeps trying to build a restricted unit everywhere and doesn't understand that there can only be 1. Fix plox ;p

And btw, I vote for KAIK. Cause it sounds like Cake, and that's just cool ;p

@Forb (and any other interested parties):

I've released 0.13 on UF, which shouldn't get
confused about resources anymore (although
I'd be much obliged if you could confirm that by
playing a few games ). It will also upgrade its
extractors now and won't go for hovercraft as
eagerly as 0.12, and it favors building factories
over static defenses slightly more. I didn't have
time to implement unit-limit checking yet though,
but expect that in the next build.

incorrect globalai version? Huh? AI/bot-libs/

insta crash as soon as it tries to load. That's disappointing.

AI/Bot-libs/KAIK-0.13.dll has C++ interface

no crash, just *pop* and im back in the lobby

[yuritch]

It's probably built with the svn Spring and that won't work with 0.75b2.

[imbaczek]

Yup, quite some stuff got changed and added.

[Kloot]

Oops, I accidentally built the .so against the
SVN Spring source (note to self: don't do 3AM
releases in the future) and forgot that buildbot
does the same to produce the .dll. I don't
have a working cross-compiler at the moment
so Windows binaries are going to be delayed a
bit, but a 0.75b2-compatible Linux build is now
on UF. Sorry for the mix-up!

[Forboding Angel]

/me cries

[Kloot]

0.75b2-compatible Windows release of
0.13 (rev. 11/9) is now available as well.

[Forboding Angel]

FUCKING WINRAR!

Thanks Kloot!

[Linebacker]

Is it possible, that KAI 0.13 does not build a single AA unit? Only rare Slasher/Samsons but no turrets at all. You can also send in some troops to kill the commander in his base. KAIK does not really build base defenses. His squad-attacking is versed though.

[Argh]

Just tested with PURE Alpha, which has two obvious factories, a metal-maker, a Solar-equivalent, mines, radar turrets and many other OTA gewgaws in it... the Commander just sits and does nothing

I will be posting the Alpha publicly very soon, I am a bit concerned about this. I have a feeling that KAIK's economic code is probably resulting in no decision being made, because PURE uses different scales than OTA, although the results are very similar.

[Kloot]

Linebacker:

It's not big on AA, no (never really has
been). Also, KAIK emphasizes ground
units over defenses, so if you want to
beat it early you know what to do.

Argh:

I'll know more after you release it.

[Argh]

Yeah, I know, chicken-and-egg there. Can I release it to you privately, to take a look, if you're not too busy? I have another release coming up on Thursday for the team...

[Kloot]

Sure, PM me a link and I'll have a gander.

[AF]

this needs reuploading to UF.

[Smiff]

good work.
seems to be the *only* bot that starts its base in the right order (imho. kbot lab then metal makers etc.) and expands with its metal makers properly and in some way that looks like a human.

most other bots seem to be building wind farms and all sorts of strange things! like starting their base with two solar then two metal then a factory.

just about every time i put different bots in, KAIK wins by a long shot..

Is there any download mirror to this AI?
