I downloaded from the website, and on the site it says simply drag the map over the SC2 icon but when I do that it doesnt do a single thing. Is there a folder I need to put these in and then access ingame somehow? just open it with the map editor and then hit test map. | ||

I've had some problems with the hard AI though. While the very hard AI seems to be able to execute any of the included builds, the hard AI will do weird things instead of following the build it's been told. An example: I was playing vs the Terran emp/bio build on very hard, I noticed he had way too many units too early, so I found out the very hard AI was cheating. But other than that, it did everything like it should. So I restarted and went with the hard AI instead, but it didn't follow the build at all. Anyone else noticed this? Edit: I think the reason the hard AI started doing weird things was that I scouted him actually. By not scouting him, and instead using the -c.cheat.givemeopponentsvision command to give me vision of his base, I saw that he did the build perfectly. Nice! | ||

Actually what probably happened is that when you scouted him, you accidentally got in the way of one of his construction steps. Unfortunately when this happens, the build order gets stuck and then Green Tea AI takes over doing it's own thing. | ||

Also, I do not feel as if Green Tea + ai micro functionality is the appropriate direction for a build order tester. The focus is on refinement, not winning or losing against a system which will never play like a human. Practice partners should be able to use YABOT as a way to practice builds, to establish game scenarios using an accessible interface. The system has a lot of potential, to be the go-to Starcraft 2 laboratory for all skill levels across all areas of gameplay. I don't want this post to come across as me placing a burden, it is our responsibility as a community to help you create a great learning tool. | ||

I will be adding settings for "Easy AI" and "No AI" for people who just want to practice learning some build orders without interruption. I hope to also get some updated build orders into the map. What did you think of the single player campaign? | ||

I'd like to see a BASIC and ADVANCED mode tab in the main menu where advanced is the current YABOT and basic is similar to qxc's with hotkeys for reset. I feel as if this would make the map much more accessible. Also, I do not feel as if Green Tea + ai micro functionality is the appropriate direction for a build order tester.

I don't want this post to come across as me placing a burden, it is our responsibility as a community to help you create a great learning tool. I will definitely take these comments to heart for the next version. I just (a few seconds ago) released version 1.0, which adds a "No AI" difficulty setting if you want to practice your build orders undisturbed. I will think about adding a "basic" mode, which is a really good idea. However, in the mean time, if you choose the freestyle build order for yourself and no AI, I would consider that the basic mode... would you agree? Just typing "-r" to reset is easy enough I think, but I could add an option to quickly change races. Something like "-r t" for Terran, "-r p" for Protoss, etc. that defaults to the basic settings and resets the map. | ||

Thanks for releasing V1! Q about the YABOT Build Encoder v2.0...in both browsers that I've tried, firefox and IE, the dropdown menu under the 'Step' column for, say, a Bldg is a long string like YABOTBuildEncoder.GameUnit...and I can't see anything else after that. Is it possible to remove this first part of the text so that it shows like just Assimilator? Otherwise I have to click one, hit esc to see which item I selected, and repeat. | ||
