OTA AI -> TAI

AF · Post by AF » 23 Jul 2005, 22:47

Currently TAI parses an OTA AI definition, it can tell the difference between different plans, and I've only implemented enough to laod what to build by taking the unit names that follow a "limit" keyword in the selected fdifficulty level (hardset to "hard" untill engine passes a value in future).

Should the AI build only units that appear in this file, or should it build every unit and building but limit accordingly. Note that 1 of thsoe options will take me a while of re-arranging.

Also how do I use the weights system?

Oh and btw, an initial build order for the commander in AA and XTA, complete with unit names quantity and UnitNumber. I've sorted this out for OTA & SWTA so far and zoombie provided me with TA:WD.

If I recall correctly, vehicle plant is less expensive than kbot plant (for Arm, at least), and it builds faster too. This is in OTA. Don't know anything about XTA.

Well get me the unit numbers for them, lets say vehicle plant for now..

The Kbot lab is actually cheaper, but the Vehicle lab is more useful.

imo vehicles first even on maps like small divide. great for rush, as even on maps like these they cannot possibly cover the choke points fast enough. i use kbot lab as my second factory or not at all if i'm playing seriously...i mean honestly they are the fastest, best builders and (relatively) cheap. kbots first is just plain silly imho

Well in most cases i would also say vehicle first.

But on maps like The Desert Triad 2 or water maps, it just doesn't work

(Probably the biggist problem with the ai, things humans see easyly are hard for them to understand...)

So then a build order for xta then? with unit numbers and names?

As fo now there's a build order for WTA rebel+Imperial OTA Arm+core WD NATO.
