I've updated an old project of mine to work with SC:Remastered as I try to get back into Brood War. It's called BWMetaAI. It's basically an AI that tries to follow a human metagame instead of silly 12 zealot all-ins nearly every game. The project is available here: https://github.com/jncraton/BWMetaAI I've been using it to help me get back into playing, and I thought that it might be useful to others as well. ![[image loading]](https://github.com/jncraton/BWMetaAI/raw/master/docs/zeal_goon_tank.png) | ||

It's definitely a vast improvement over the default AI. Very good for beginners like me  | ||

There are plenty of bots that try to be as good as possible, but this isn't one of them. Go to http://www.sscaitournament.com/ to find bots that are harder to get running, but once they are, they will stomp you. One thing that would be a huge improvement over the standard AI is if it actually gave up before being eliminated. I hate that so much. | ||

I replace the patch_rq.mpq with the new BW Meta AI. But the problem is that the Blizzard App (that name *shudder*) keeps forcing me to update the game before playing. I've tried to manually launch the game form the folder, but it just redirects me to the app. Because it cannot launch the game unless it is updated, I am unable to try out the meta AI. (I disabled autopatch and it only displays an Update button instead of Play on the launcher) | ||

Other than that, try seeing if temporarily going offline (turn off wifi and/or unplugging ethernet) and launching does anything different. I'll try it out for myself in a bit. EDIT: I was able to get it to work offline, but the App will attempt to patch the mpq file if you go back online and quit the game. | ||

Also, do these more advanced AI follow standard build orders? that would be so cool. | ||

how come it's hard to get running? BWAPI is more difficult to get set up because it requires running multiple instances of StarCraft. It takes control of the game engine in the same way that human would, so you actually have to join a multiplayer game against one of the AIs running on another machine/VM or use some hack that allows multiple instances to run simultaneously on the same machine. | ||
