I meant the "Local PC" connection that appear after installing BWAPI, like here.

Aha, I see what you mean. Apologies. Then I don't know the answer.

Selecting the "Network UDP game" option is to make it much easier for non-technical users to run my bot and so that it works with vanilla 1.16.1 out of the box (no extra setup needed). krasi0BotLauncher itself uses a hack to connect to that UDP game so that the end result is practically the same as with Local PC

Keep in mind that this setup only works with 1v1 Human VS AI games.
Let me know if something doesn't work right or is not convenient enough so that I can fix it.

BTW, the owner of http://www.openbw.com/replay-viewer/ is someone else ( IMP42 IIRC)

I think the opposite is correct, Local PC connection is much easier for non-technical users, as it doesn't need another machine or VM, unlike UDP.

I'm actually feeling more comfortable with the .7z file+video in the 1st post here.
Your AI and my CoachAI is the only UDAIs I've that uses BWAPI_v4.2.dll, so its not big issue copying/renaming the dll.

I also noticed that you're downloading/installing vc++2013/2015 runtimes, why not vc++2017? its needed for Local PC.
BAWPI 4.2 depends on VC++ 2017 runtimes, but strangely only 2013 included !, which will make problems the user can only figure by chance (if he has already installed VC++ 2017), which made me made this .7z pack to save a lot of headache.

@Moatz, but that's my point - using krasi0BotLauncher, you don't need another VM or computer. The user just selects the LAN UDP option and everything just works on the same computer. You should give it a shot and see if it works in your case

BTW, Local PC is also much slower than LAN UDP which fact becomes apparent if you try to run a game as fast as possible (using /speed 0).

WRT vc++2017, the launcher has been designed so that it does its job fast and only downloads and installs the minimum set of required files so that my bot works on a brand new computer and Windows install. In my case, VS 2017 redist is simply not needed, so no reason to install that one too.

The pack been updated for the final submission of SSCAIT 2018, and the CoachAI has been added and is now the default one.
The 1st post been updated with a link to the new Revamped pack.

I also made this small new video on how to automate unlimited number of games against UDAIs, I hope it'll be useful and saves players' time/effort as the 1st video, good luck & have fun:
