Man, this is awesome!  :thumbsup:

ptanhkhoa, that sounds really exciting.

I guess knowing which file gets run first when the melee map trigger initializes the melee AI will help a lot.

I suspect it's the Melee.galaxy?

The next issue would be, the constants, native function parameters, etc?

I'm really glad you guys figured it out.

Cheers!

Su, after discovering the changes, did you notice if the AI Engine had changes? Does it still use the same states method? How did you initialize the AI and run the states?

Strange. Initializing and running a Melee AI from a custom map trigger works without problems.

Somethings up. It's either they changed the map structure, or this has something to do with something else.

Someone should take a look from this angle, since I have zero idea how lazylaunch works.

Custom map trigger has this for melee start:

AIMeleeStart(3); where 3 is the AI player slot.


With the pre patch 9-10 maps:

MeleeInitAI();

I'm using the LazyLaunch 2.0 and no other gui launchers. Still, I'm getting the error.

I suspect, that AI.galaxy is not being parsed.

yup, patch 9 breaks AI. Which is a shame, because now we can launch custom maps.

I've already done a clone of Garden Of Aiur, but the launchers go bizerk with player numbers.

I think there were just a few tweaks like the NativesLib in core/base.sc2data will try reinstalling since WinMPQ is not working.

edit:
I'm stuck. There's this error that says Invalid mainstate or something, even with the default AI.

Somehow, I'm also seeing problems when compiling a .galaxy from within the Editor. Not sure if they're both related, or if the editor supports script editing fully yet.

You guys have any luck?

I'm trying this one:

It seems that the AI stuff within the core.sc2data and all that stuff were updated as well. I'm extracting everything from the patch file and manually putting them together.

I'll report back.

Edit:

Now having problems with ShadowFlare's WinMpQ

Are you guys having problems with the AI? I can't seem to get them to work.

that's beautiful ptanhkhoa!

QuoteChainaw,Yeah, it is possible. The most apparent work-around is typing   something. As simple as 1,2,3, or Enter, 12, Enter, will then set the AI   to the 12th opening, which then leads to the 12th tier 1.5, and so   forth.

It is a very neat idea, how can you recognize the input text of the player ? I think if you can do this you can order the ally AI to do something for us to. For ex : Tell them to Attack what player, focus on producing something or help from them. So it good when playing vs team.

Using TriggerAddEventChatMessage(..). It's kinda tricky, as you might immediately notice, since the input must be done before the first 2 workers get stocked/trained. 2 is arbitrary though, but more likely since most BOs do diverge from there.

You're absolutely right, this could prove very interesting. I assume, should the coming patch with the Galaxy Editor contain a complete AI, we can simply create a menu much like AMAIs for Warcraft 3.

In any case, I'm sure someone will find the most effective way to make this happen.

Very exciting.

Do you remember in warcraft 3 where we could order a structure to do a train, and workers a build? I am pretty sure this is what the guys are doing. They're giving one of the probes a direct build command via choosebesttarget as the point function or they could have their custom function that determines a point given off-sets and such.

Stacking orders in a given unit is possible perhaps since we can check if a unit has an order.

Check them out.

Okay, so if I understand this correctly:

We must use the patch file version in order to watch replays, and cannot do so with just the base.sc2data?

Edit: Attached is the Base.sc2data, just rename it from Base.sc2data.zip to base.sc2data

I have to say, the protoss plays good. This is the semi-cheating one.

I'm confident that it can.

Awesome! Grats.

I suspect that if by some optimization, you guys can actually determine where the ramp is and from there create predefined points as to where structures are to be built.

This could require facing and such along the way.
