spectating AI vs AI

[submarine]

It may be very stupid to ask, but i want my ai to fight vs another ai; so if i add 2 ais in the spring client and select spectator for myself, the start button becomes deactivated...

Well play a 1v1v1 with 2 AI's then edit the script.txt afterwards and feed ti into spring directly.

And post the script here too.

hmm i got another solution: you select the same team as on of the ai players, and then use cheat function to become spectator...

it works...

Didn't they disable the ability to spectate AI's from the battle room?

Silly. Some one should add in a Debug mode with that kind of functionality, so if you're testing an AI, you can do that.

This script worked for me:

In AIvAI.txt:

Code: Select all

[GAME]
{
	Mapname=yourmaphere.smf;
	StartMetal=1000;
	StartEnergy=1000;
	MaxUnits=500;
	StartPosType=0;
	GameMode=0;
	GameType=xta_se_v065.sdz;

	hostip=localhost;
	hostport=8452;

	MyPlayerNum=0;

	NumPlayers=1;
	NumTeams=2;
	NumAllyTeams=2;

	[PLAYER0]
	{
		name=yourname;
		Spectator=1;
		team=0;
	}

	[TEAM0]
	{
		TeamLeader=0;
		AllyTeam=0;
		Color=9;
		Side=Core;
		Handicap=0;
		AIDLL=aidll\globalai\NTAI.dll;
	}
	[TEAM1]
	{
		TeamLeader=0;
		AllyTeam=1;
		Color=0;
		Side=Core;
		Handicap=0;
		AIDLL=aidll\globalai\JCAI.dll;
	}
	[ALLYTEAM0]
	{
		NumAllies=0;
	}
	[ALLYTEAM1]
	{
		NumAllies=0;
	}
	NumRestrictions=0;
	[RESTRICT]
	{
	}

in AIvAI.bat:

Code: Select all

spring AIvAI.txt

Just execute AIvAI.bat et voila.

I seem to remember this coming up before. This info should probably be in the FAQ or readme or whatever that comes with Spring so people won't have to ask about it.
