Are these randomly selected AutoSaved replays?

I don't give consent for SCHNAIL to show me losing to Chris Coxe's 4 pool 5 games in a row :-(


You can disable uploading replays on the settings tab for practice games. As for ranked games, it is needed for accountabilty, and anti-cheating purposes.

HI everyone, Here is a thing that need help. There is NO AI bot join in my local Game lobby.

Any suggestion? Thank you

PS: I am running a Windows 10 system, have a Battle app with a 1.23.5 SC version.

I excluded bwheadless folder from Virus defender, and look into game's erro. Get 3 problems that might cause no bot joining lobby probelm.

1. I failed to open any bot .rar files at Program Files (x86)\SCHNAIL Client\bots. Can this be a issue?

2. Could be my IPX or UDP problems?

3. Erro snap from game starup.

Is the .exe still in the folder after the exclusion? Could be another line of defense that you did not check like native Windows Defender (not sure if that's what you meant by "virus defender").

1. This very well might be.
2. Everything runs locally, so very unlikely.
3. That is the client-side message, you can safely ignore it.

Yes, the bwheadless.exe file is still in the folder after I excluded from Windows Defender.

I downloaded some Bots at SSCAIT, and put it into AI folder. Eventually it still no bots join my game. I think it might be my computer issue, Since no one have the same problem. I will find a old computer and give it a shot. If the problem were fixed, I will post a thread.

Maybe try launching as administrator so that it can access files on your C drive? I have problems consistently with older games until I do this for every component.

And there is a new version!

Release notes:
--------
0.4.2.0:
-------------
New features:
- Added an option to enable an in-game timer
- Game mode is written to the schnail.env file on game start (PRACTICE or RANKED)

Enhanchements:
- Modified small things, for a small speed increase
- Added the tournament manager. The client shouldn't display so much text on game startup, and also pausing is not allowed during ranked matches. Special thanks for Chris Coxe for providing me with it!

Hello,

Just downloaded and started playing yesterday. On both ranked and practice mode it is reporting loses as wins.
I have no experience with any prior versions or if that is just a bug in my client reporting it incorrectly on my side.

Side note: these terran bots are insane after 15 minutes, my god I have been to hell and it is vulture/wraith/tank.

Edit: this project is awesome, really easy to use and pretty damn hard.

Edit2: The terran bot is at least 1950 mmr, probably much higher, the longer the game the stronger it gets TvZ.
What a brutal experience.

Also, thanks for the kind words! I'm really glad you're enjoying it.

Yeah, some bots are quite good I can't defeat half of them.

Feel free to join our Discord, and discuss, and submit games if you'd like. Also, feel free to ping us if you ever plan to stream SCHNAIL games !

This is great! Keep up the good work!
Hope you can fix that "always win" bug real soon! Also, are you planning on adding current ladder maps? That would be awesome! Thanks

Not OP but I'm more active on TL so I will step up and mention that sadly a lot of modern maps are not compatible with 1.16.

Thank you!

The bug is fixed since.

As for tournament maps: Many of them already added, but they are enabled on a per-bot basis. Authors can decide if their bots can handle them or not. 1.16 backports do exist, and we are adding them constantly.

Some updates about the project:
- Restructured the website a bit. So much to do there still.
- Added a PTR to the backend - bot authors can try out the new versions of their bots without losing precious ELO. Players can technically try these out too.
- Added a sub-page for developer resources, including instructions how to access the PTR: Developer portal

None of this affects players directly, but making it easier to work on AIs will on the long run.
