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.


Just leave the when you think you've won and don't want to play it out to the end.

Holy shit... after 15+ years we finally get access to Blackman's progamer AI!
It has a strong technique, but it lacks oo.

No idea, but it isn't very good. Definitely much worse than a very rusty human player. It should be more than a challenge for truly new players, though.

Awesome, this is great for beginners or even people just trying to get back into the swing of things after a long time, thanks for this! Always love seeing BW AI projects, the BW AI Tournament's are cool too.


Thanks!

Could you also include a version that focuses on macro/standard play? no all in builds like 5 pool from the AI. this is to generally create longer games with multiple expos


I included cheesy builds to give players a reason to scout early. I expect things like 12 Nexus and 14 CC to be completely viable against this AI most of the time, but I wanted to encourage players to get in the habit of checking what their opponent is doing instead of just choosing a plan before the game and sticking with it no matter what. With that said, it wouldn't be too difficult to create a separate release that does not include cheesy builds. I may do that if I have a chance.

If you're fairly tech savvy, you can follow the instructions here to build the mod from source:

https://github.com/jncraton/BWMetaAI/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

I've tried to make it very trivial to adjust, add, or remove builds. To remove cheesy ones, simply delete them from the builds folder (e.g. https://github.com/jncraton/BWMetaAI/tree/master/src/zerg/builds) and rebuild the project.

maybe a possibility to choose what Build?


This is definitely possible, but it has to happen outside of the game unless I want to build a much more complicated mod. If you're able to build the project from source, you can easily delete all of the builds except the one you are interested in playing against and then rebuild the project. I used to do this regularly to practice against particular build orders.

Thanks! What are you looking in terms of scalable difficulty and/or customization? I usually just play vs 2 or 3 of these to make things more challenging.

playing with 2 or 3 of these is definitely better than playing vs built in AI, the built in just bum rushes you all together, this one the AI attacks one at a time but with a pretty scary set of units so it's easier to survive playing a normal style instead of one tailored to surviving 3 12 zeal rushes

Wasn't the urban legend that Blackman programmed a Boxer AI on his toaster in order to beat Boxer?

for once and this might be crazy to ask... is there any way to modify the .mpq file as you just di to load SSCAIT scripts? they come with a .dll and the script itself, i am sure you have seen them, it would be awesome if you could create for us a small app that can help us load this into game also.

SSCAIT scripts require BWAPI which won't currently work on 1.20 AFAIK. That's because they're not written in the game's native AI script language, and instead made from ground up.
