detailed instructions on to how to setup the BWAPI interface:

http://eis.ucsc.edu/StarCraftBWAPI

The bitchiest part is compiling the example dll, since BWAPI uses dll interjection in windows you have to compile on your native machine. And when I say on your native machine, on the machine that is going to be "playing" as the bot.

everything else is a breeze.

Yeah.... There has to be a better way to do this than with 2 computers. I'm gonna try doing VM, but before I waste my time has anybody tried this before?

The instructions for setting up the bot kinda suck though.

1. Install BWAPI:
http://eis.ucsc.edu/StarCraftAICompetition#GettingStarted (DONE)

2. Move ExampleAIModule to the bwapi directory (DONE)

3. Double click (double click what? The DLL? Can't do that... Double click the game? Tried that but where and how do I see the following message? In the chat in the warmup??? Aint workin!)
Do not start the game until you see the following message:
ProxyBot: Waiting for client connection

4. Send replays to: mah email

There has to be a step missing. There is no instruction as to where to unzip the esibot release package.

Okay I got it to work. You have to move ExampleAIModule.dll to the starcraft/bwapi-data/AI directory.
Then you gotta double click Run Normal.bat and wait until proxybot message. Then go to chaos launcher with bwapi checked and run it.

When you make a game it takes a VERY long time before it starts playing.. like a 1-minute wait before your SC will start working.

The bot makes like a control group of goons off of 1 base and 2 gates while cutting a lot of probes. Then the goons move out. Just wall and get siege tanks.

You need chaos launcher. Then make sure the BWAPI injector is checked when you launch. Then you're good to go.

well, I got the bot semi-working, it sends workers to mine and builds one more, then stops doing anything. O.o?

ah double click "Run-Normal" it all makes sense now. :D

uhoh it's still not working. during the run-normal execution I keep getting a nullpointerexception and then it hangs at CBR:Loading case retriever.

if anyone else has this problem and figures it out lemme know...

oh nevermind it just took a while I see proxybot finally, wow so exciting rofl.

This is because it has to learn the map. If you play the same map again there won't be a lag.

after u set up the BWAPI download the custom bot from the OP. it sounds like your just using the default bot k20a.

I downloaded it again, ran the run-normal yet still doesn't do anything after the initial peon is built. I think it may be a problem with my run-normal, i'll screenshot/upload it in a moment

edit - screenshot of my normal bat thing trying to run

T_T everything worked, proxybot loaded etc, yet it still just idles the first probe built and nothing after! Anyone in the same boat?

edit- the run-normal.bat sits at the "waiting for client connection" even when BW is loaded, is that supposed to go that way?

yes.

Did you set up the BWAPI correctly? Did you copy the correct files to your windows directory? Make sure you do all of this correctly.

I love watching the screen of the bot man it's amazing all the lines and boxes. As soon as I click some units somewhere it can see where I clicked... such hax.
