I just gave it my first go on AI v6.0 w/ Cheating and have a few thoughts:


Playing P vs Z, I noticed that I'm able to force field my ramp and destroy all units after 10-20 seconds. They were hugging the force field and my 2-3 cannons with stalkers and sentries just flat out pooped on them. I was definitely glad that this AI expanded, but the LazyLaunch 2.0's Chinese X5 still seems harder due to them bringing more ranged units in general; roaches, hydras, mutas. This one only brought zlings, blings, and a few mutas.


I know it is only AI and I cannot expect it to counter everything I throw at it, but this is how protoss players should be expected to play... using the force field to block ramp to allow more teching.


For a challenge, I still enjoy the Chinese x5 more so far. However, the Chinese x5 did not have much support for Terran or Protoss.

why would u do a maphack? why would you want to ruin a fair gaming competition with such thing? honestly why?

I can understand using a crack to play beta cause it is not out for everyone, but this... that is just sad man....

I couldn't agree more.

Agree.

Use your gifted skills positively.

The best AI that I faced already was Zerg from the Chinese x5 AI from LazyLauncher 2.0. Roaches, Lings, Hydra, Muta within the first 5 minutes. I saved the replay after I won and held 3-4 massive attacks containing these unit combinations, but after that 3rd or 4th attack, it didn't know what to do.


Is this AMAI2 going to be supportive of all races for AI? I've just been downloading so many AI, files, etc. since the beta and I eventually had to uninstall because I kept spawning two units of everything and even buildings... starting with 2 Nexus, Nexii?


Thank you!

mate, try a different folder, I use to have the Unable to open map error, had all those 00\11 folders, I made a different folder 09 (I actually already had that folder in cache) and made a z7 folder in it so it be like  09\z7 - then renamed all files like 09z7Blisteringsands.sc2ma (or whatever the extention is)


and then it worked

First post. I just wanted to thank everyone that contributed to Blizzard's non-negotiable open source SC2 Beta. Giz, I have the identical problem that you're having. However, I played a game with lazylauncher pointing to a map that is in a downloaded folder somewhere instead of the cache folder. Now like you, I can replace my BaseSC2 file and there aren't any problems watching the actual beta vs beta players going head-to-head. However, when trying to view a replay that is in my Recent replays folder (either through cracked play as guest UI or lazylaunch), I receive the 'unable to open map' message.


It seems like the replays are trying to point to a map in the cache folder with the odd map names regardless of what map was actually selected when playing the game (lazylaunch's 1v1 LT). It must wrap up the original file within the replay, then attempt to find that to 'open the map' in the cache folder directory? I've attempted to rename my downloaded Lost Temple AI map to the same file name of the 9666 lost temple cache file and open the replay, but again no dice. I've put the BaseSC2 file as the default and the one that I hosted the game on when playing against the AI, no dice.


I feel like I'm losing track of what I'm altering... I am just impressed that I was able to defeat the waves of Zerg rushing you on Chinese x5 so I wanted to see it and have proof! I'd also like to see how I progress with my skill throughout Beta as well as my APM.


Anyone have any ideas?
Thx
