Good to see the interest in Broodwar AI grow! The top bots really are an improvement these last couple of years, real fun to play. With the growing interest of humans to play these AIs, the coders are improving even further, so I say gg

At the moment LetaBot is really pushing things with a scientific approach that translates into a really nice adversary, Blizz should hire this man. krasi0 and Iron are doing good work too, but unfortunately they don't have much time. Persistent updates and long-time involvement, you can't beat it.

Keep those games vs AIs coming and if you like you can send me the replays, I always like to cast man vs machine matches!

I forgot about this thread! I should check out the new bots and updates.

Does anyone know if we'll ever be able to play vs custom AI in a singleplayer/custom game? Right now it's exclusive to multi-instance multiplayer games so you can't save/load for testing purposes, and it's a bit of a hassle to set up.

You can create/join, save/load multiplayer games using Loacl PC mode, instead of UDP (either another PC or VM), but mainly you need 2 copy Starcraft folder somewhere else, because in multiplayer games (Local PC/UDP) there should be 2 versions of the .mlx (save-file) in maps\save\ in each of the players' folders, so you can create/join the saved game later by browsing to the .mlx file without getting "The game creator closed all available slots!".

You also need to direct Chaos to the other SC folder from settings, before running the other instance of Starcraft.exe, to also save the game in its own path.

Other things can go wrong during the process, but those 2 are the main.

The core idea is to have 2 processes of Starcraft.exe running from different folders, you can check that by Task Manager or Process Explorer.

A very uncomplicated helpful tutorial here.

Probably the simplest way to set things up & play 1v1 against a wide range of bots these days is to use SCHNAIL (https://schnail.com), which also supports custom hotkeys. It has a leaderboard of each bot's rating against humans.

This is especially good for players who don't have excellent internet. This is why lan parties are so important. Finding a similar-skill practice partner who hangs out in the same room as you while you guys heighten each others' skill is, of course, the highest tier of practice. But barring that, with some clever lifestyle choices, one can get pretty gud at Broodwar playing AIs like these. I see the top guys practicing against specific timings and playsytyles, which is apparently offered with this app.

When Flash came back from the military, his close friend and absolute ladder fiend, Motive was able to give him the highest-quality practice against gargantuan stormtoss - and Flash got really good at that lategame scenario. It's ridiculous that P has to go up to 9 bases to trade fairly against 5 base terran by getting pushed back into a 7 / 7 split and sucking up the opponents resources. Like, Toss literally has to macro gateways across 3 mains while constantly pressuring with zealot stormdrops on a partially stable 150ish supply Terran until the Terran mines out of his stolen future 6th and 7th bases.
