NTai XE10.1b

[AF]

The problem with using scons that way is I'd get an NTai.so not an NTai.dll, the server environment is debian based not Windows NT/Server

[Tobi]

aptitude install mingw32

(ie. buildbot is debian (now ubuntu) based too)

EDIT: if it is ubuntu gutsy I have mingw32 4.2.1 packages for it (it only has 3.4 in it's repository right now)

[AF]

Root access I have not.

[Tobi]

Ah then you can probably forget any kind of automatic setup

[lurker]

I grabbed the version for 76b1, and in almost every game the Evolution commander only builds one single unit. Maybe it's giving a failed move order?

[AF]

It built something?

There was no evolution config included. As far as I'm aware nobody ahs ever tried to build one. If you are trying to build an evo config and thats your result, then please look at the logs. It'll say why it skipped that task and the next one etc.....

[lurker]

I'm building a config. For this test I removed all tasklists except the com's. It doesn't say anything about skipping a task: http://pastebin.ca/853834 It just builds one unit and idles forever.
The config, generated by the toolkit: http://pastebin.ca/853840

The one time it actually worked: http://pastebin.ca/853845

[DJ]

In the toolkit you need to check that the task list has been allocated to eengineer, from the config you posted it looks like it hasn't...

[lurker]

I said right there I had removed all task lists except the com's to make the log as simple and clear as possible. The commander, ecentralprocessing, is ordered to start off by building 4 eengineers, and it only builds one before stopping forever.

[AF]

And lua gadgets never intervene in the construction process? What happens if you force a unitidle following the commander locking up by pressing stop or issuing a command?

Hi there, i dont know if i should post this here or in linux, but anyway here it is.


when I run(any) mod with this ai (compiled from source from the svn trunk of spring(6 of febrary) y get multiple buffer errors, then the commander does nothing.

This with BA 6.1

and the the AI/NTai/learn/BA.tdf file:

Code: Select all

[NTai]
{
	learndata=learn/BA.tdf;
	modconfig=configs/BA.tdf;
	modname=Balanced Annihilation V6.1;
}

I get the same error with CA, and every other mod i tried.

Im using Ubuntu linux, with the relase compiled from source. the game installation and the datadir are both in my home folder. So, no root permissions are required.

Sorry for my bad english

[DJ]

looks like it can't find or access the configs directory to me....

[AF]

hmm, it seems you compiled NTai but then thought that was all that was needed and never bothered to put in the needed folders and config files to make it actually do stuff.

[AF]

I've made more changes in the svn which might interest the kernel panic people (last half hour or so), and might speed things up in general for everyone else.

[overkill]

Is it possible to make ntai upgrade mexes?

[AF]

Not quite, but patches are welcome!

[zenzike]

I've just downloaded spring from the SVN repository (HEAD), and I'm trying to compile NTai which I found in the AI directory. There's a netbeans project that seems configured there, but there are a few problems:

Assigner.cpp, Assigner.h, Scouter.cpp, Scouter.h, GlobalAI.cpp, GlobalAI.h, helper.cpp, helper.h, Information.h, and InitUtil.h are all missing, though the project expects them to be there.

I haven't started hunting these down in previous commits, but they seem important, since the build spits this out when I try to compile:

Code: Select all

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `NTai/Core/GlobalAI.cpp', needed by `build/Release/GNU-Windows/NTai/Core/GlobalAI.o'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nick/projects/spring/AI/Global/NTai/AI'
make: *** [.build-impl] Error 2

Should I be using the nbproject as a base to look at this code from, or ought these files be there? Should I be working off another version from the repository (I'm currently taking from HEAD).

Cheers,

zenzike

[AF]

The netbeans project is very old, do not assume it will work out of the box, there are files referenced in the project that no longer exist and there are files that exist that aren't referenced.

You would be best building a new netbeans project from scratch and submitting a patch.

[imbaczek]

scons should build NTai (try scons GlobalAI.)

[1v0ry_k1ng]

hey AF you got a working version of NTAI with the current sprang that I can plug my configs into?
