Hopefully I'll manage to get some time to try it tomorrow. Kinda interesting to play vs bots so it should be lots of fun. | ||

Essentially the API interfaces with Starcraft and emulates a real person playing by issuing commands in the same way a human player's commands would be issued. Thus you need one computer to run the bot and one computer to play against the bot. | ||

Also is it possible to use this to play against other people, say on hamachi if you don't have/want to use 2 computers? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

I've ran over that probably 5+ times now, everything is as it should be but the same problem still occurs =[ edit- got it working, stupid compiling error on my part edit #2 - no end of troubles here, bw crashes maybe 1-2 minutes in t.t | ||

and yes it rapes all in game ai. the goons are microd and the standard AI does dumb shit like mnm in TvP. I dont get this though all it is is one wave of microed goons, nothing like the vids posted earlier... like it does 10/15 gate but the first 15 goons just sit idle in main till they move out. | ||

Have a stroke of its mane, it turns into a plane and then it turns back again when you tug on its winkie. I didnt try it yet because Im too dumb when it comes to install anything slightly complicated in the computer. Someone talks about dll injection and it gives me a headache already. I saw the videos though, and it looks awesome. Though, I notice the dragoons were not firing while moving away from zealots, they interval is too low ^^ Great job. Best AI I have ever seen | ||

So basically have an if((*i)->getGroundWeaponCooldown()>=23) continue; to not issue any commands to the dragoon during that period. You cannot even issue the hold command as that interrupts the firing sequence. | ||

His goon micro is not bad, but there are a lot of things, that need to be improved. Also it crashes in some cases (I use BWAPI 2.6.1) | ||
