Spring RTS Engine

update:

mail has been sent to all testers. i ough i couldnt test much aai seems to be in a playable state again. i hope they'll send me some buildtables for the next release

Just an idea about the people reporting crashes after a while: Im going to try lowering the max units in the cfg file to 500 (the units we play with). could be the AI trying to build more units than allowed. maybe...


EDIT
Nope: makes the game go boom pretty quickly.

I have an question about the AI
Why does it not build Aircraft all that much, and never builds fusions?
(and is there any way I can edit the learn file or something to change the weights?)

It surely does build fusions, you just have to wait long enough for the AI to decide it has enough resources for it.
As for the aircraft, mod config file might need tweaking, there are some new aircraft related tags which are not present in some of the default configs.

also, I think submarine said there was some new aircraft stuff coming up in the next version...

To be truthful, I think the AI overvalues metal to a fault. Ie, I watched the AI play itself, and both had more than enough metal, but they were always short on energy. In fact, 2 hours into the game, the AI's had about 64K metal in reserve, but were only producing about 1K energy, and had no energy in reserve, leading to absolutely abysmal build rates. (Think it had like... 15 adv solars or something). Which lead to the fusion question.

that is adjustable in the mod config files. You would do well to take a look at what you can adjust through the config files. It is important to adjust this, because a mod like Absolute Annihilation would work best with a metal_Energy ratio of ~25-30, while a mod like Expand and Exterminate has a ratio much closer to ~10-14.

I need help making AAI to work.
I have tried all popular mods, all maps (even defaults) but it won't do anithing. It's just sitting there, doing nothing

yawn


can we have a lynch mob to deal with this?

go back one page and the answer will probably be there
if not try the page before. the answer has been given at least twice this week in two threads

The AI works great, it plays very well, thank you Sub!

I can't get it to work with AA2.0 in the new 72 release of spring?!

Does someone know how to fix this?

(i've already renamed the files in the cfg folder of aai, that worked for the previous versions, but not for AA2.0/spring72)

AAI uses AI Interface version 12.

0.72 uses Version 15

Your only fix is a recompile which can onyl come from Submarine.

In the mean time NTai seems to ba the only 0.72 compatible AI ^^

i'll upload a new version as soon as possible ....

thx for the info, and good luck with your aai submarine!

Whenever I start up this bot in a game, it instantly crashes back to desktop, saying incorrect global ai dll version. Can i get some help?

oh my god READ!!!!!

the information is about 3 posts up for christ's sake....

And include some EE/AA1.48/.49/.5/2.0+/XTA5.5/6/7+ config files with it

why inlcude outdated versions? hmm i guess you want to prevent newbs from starting another dozen of "aai dosnt do anything" threads...

the next aai version will display a message during the game as well if it has not been initialized

Give me the new aai that works with spring! Pleeeasseeee! I need it bad!

Before the recent update to Spring, I loved this AI, no crashes and pretty decent on the battlefield. Please update it, the other Ais aren't really meant for AA v2

Another question: does this AI learn or something? I heard on other forums that it does, but I've never seen it do that.
