The "non-cheating" Terran was pretty weak. I'm gonna go try all the races and stuff, but the Entropy II Terran wasn't a challenge at all.

Well, as he stated the Entropy II AI shouldn't be any problem for normal players because the comp doesn't cheat.

Rather than start a brand new topic and add to the sea of threads, I've updated the first post with the current launcher thus bumping this topic from well beyond the grave. I have been meaning to post about this launcher for quite awhile, but have been just so busy. The members that make up this new launcher worked hard at putting all of this together and I feel their recognition warrants such a bump. (*maybe a moderator could change the topic title to "BWAILauncher" ?)

All the new information/links are in the first post as well as quoted below.

This will most likely be the last of the BWAI Project loaders in terms of the old school scripting and all of us are really looking forward to the BWAPI bot contest that is scheduled to be held this fall.

~ enjoy,
it's been a lot of fun.

UPDATE:

While BWAI Gold was a great program, the new BWAILauncher developed by poiuy_qwert far exceeds all previous AI launchers we've built and contains virtually everything our members have built over the course of the BWAIProject history. This new program allows for far greater variety than the previous limited randomness of Racine's Rebels and EntropyII .exes by allowing YOU the user to compile your own combination to suit your playing style. Or perhaps let the "Entropyze" button choose for you!

* Can be played on any map as usual + any SC version.
* Standalone program will auto launch SCraft
* Several categories to choose from:

EntropyAI = our best non-cheating scripts
Racine's Rebels = our best pro scripts
BWAIWar = our best AI vs. AI scripts
Xtreme = our best Wackydoodle scripts

Try out ZAPOC, guys (Zerg Apocalypse, in the Xtreme section). It's great for 1v1 matches. At least I think it's in the Xtreme, it might be in the BWAIWar section.

yeahhh some of the harder ones that cheat are crazy. I use these to practice build order timings and stuff and I'll scout at standard timings and he has like 12 gateways when my first factory is only half done rofl.

How can you launch it in windowed mode?

You could use the set custom target in the options tab to alter a backup patch_rt.mpq in your SC folder. This would allow you to run Chaos Launcher or any other program you normally do when playing Scraft. I believe this is how krasi0 used the launcher to play BWAI vs BWAPI matchups he recorded. Sorry if this is a little vague.

poiuy_qwert made this program and unfortunately he isn't an active TL.net member (not very active anywhere tbh). Your best bet would be to describe your problems in his support/bug thread here.

Sorry, been meaning to find time to get our modding wiki back up. Some step through instructions for various programs as well as this launcher would be a high priority. Will try to find time to edit the OP with some simple instructions if/when this ever happens.

EDIT:
Also, big thnx to Chef again for submitting some high scoring replays for the BWAIChallenge a while back. Been meaning to publicly thank him.
