Spring RTS Engine

Thanks for the new binary, it works much better than the one from spring's installer (i.e. it doesn't crash right away when starting a game).

Still, the game experience is far from perfect as AAI still crashes frequently. The last 3 infologs I got are:

Just made a test game with 6357a2a with BA and Comet Catcher Redux. AAI just built a mex and a solar and waited. After it was attacked a few minutes into the game, it continued to play. Weird enough, KAIK did show nearly the same problem.

edit: Tested the same game again and it doesn't seem to be caused by an attack. It just waited about a minute after building the first mex and then again 2 minutes before building a kbot lab. Not 100% sure if the first game was the same though.

edit 2: It also seems to crash when it dies. Both test games ended crashing the frame RAI killed AAI. RAI killed KAIK first and that didn't crash.

the crashes meriton submitted were AI interface related, and this bug should be fixed in latest master.

The configs of AAI have been a noob-killer for quite a while.. What do you think about simply searching for BA.cfg as a fallback if BA<version number here>.cfg can't be found?

Sure the config could be outdated but at least for BA it hasn't changed in ages afaik and the behaviour of the AI can't really be worse than doing nothing (except for crash which should be avoided :D ).

Does nothing in BA 7.0 but works in 6.95 ?

copy mod config file. read the error message when you start a game with this AI.

AAI in current version of Spring 080.4 still doesn't work, it CTD's ... I have checked the .cfg files and all is good there, Its a shame because when playing AAI the AI commander would retreat if he strayed to close to an enemy base whereas with RAI and KAIK the AI commander seems dumb and often I win games because the AI commander strays too close.....

AAI was a far better better opponent in my opinion anyway....

Is there a fixed AAI that works please...

what is CTD's?
if it is a crash, post infolog as attachment or pastebin.com

As soon as a game starts using AAI 0.90 Spring 080.4 ctd's (crashes to desktop).. I have checked .cfg's and they look good...

Any suggestions appreciated...

PS: this happens on every map and XTA mod & BA modi I have tested so far...

Please see attached infolog, I just discovered AAI works with BA 700 mod but still crashes with XTA 958 or XTA 9585.....

Any suggestions or help appreciated....

Hi All, I am happy to say AAI is now working perfectly with XTA 959 mod and any map i choose to play on....

I simply copied the xta9585.cfg in the AI mod config folder and renamed it xta959.cfg and it runs great.

I think the issue may have been with the XTA mod vers 958 and 9585...

this is not considered an issue . AAI needs mod config files, and does not support autmatic creation or copying fro molder mod versions, so you always have to deal with this manually, as you just did.

does this still work?

AAI surely still works, IF you provide a config file for whatever mod/game you want it to play (and if AAI supports that type of gameplay, it doesn't like S44 for ex.).

I found a new glitch in AAI unit behaviour (don't remember seeing that one before). Sometimes attack groups get a fight order to lower left corner of the map, where there are no enemy units. Probably something makes them target coords (0,0). That can happen several times per game, those groups usually turn to another (proper) attack location soon afterwards.

Yep, there is invalid float var comparing in AAIBrain::GetAttackDest() enemy_structures is of float type. This could lead to select a sector with enemy_structures really equaled to zero.

looks like you know the code well, slogic. if you fork spring and supply a patch, i will include it (after testing maybe, if it is big).

if i could compile a working dll via MSVC i could create a fork. but i failed. i'll try next time.
