I guess I'll bump this again, because yabot's attack waves were one of the most extremely useful maps in the pool. An alternative would greatly be appreciated. Blizzard's "Take command" comes close, but no cigar (the loading screen each time you restart makes it that much less enjoyable, or effective).

It looks like people are bumping this every few months.

According to the current arcade in BNet the old map creators are:
-----#. Name----------------(MapsCreated)------------Rating

-----1. zeroJive--------------(3)-------------------------------5/5
-----2. Rathalos-------------(1)------------------------------0/5 (maps don't work from arcade)

It appears as though all YABOT development died awhile back. That hopefully changes today. I am interested in taking this project up and want to gain access to the old files for mining their value.
But, I only want to do this if the community here would actually use it and derive value. If I am the only one that ever benefits from a new YABOT then that would be kind of sad.

If there is enough interest in the idea then I'll lead a project to get this thing up off the ground. I have seen different things over the years with gosugamers and esportsu from Artosis, even the Day9 daily, Husky's channel, and HDStarcraft's channel. The casters are all really good sources. esportsu had it's heydey. Gosugamers rose and sunk.
Yet, none of them were or are in the game with you like zeroJive's YABOT. ZeroJive's YABOT is like an in-game coach. It is one of the best sources to help a noob perfect build orders and maybe even timings.

Before this post gets too long then let's reiterate the main idea.

I might restart YABOT. I want ideas and possibly collaborators.

Who likes the idea?
Who is interested in the idea?
Who wants to help?

Unfortunately, I don't think I'm quite capable of helping in reviving YABOT, although I can assure you that I would most certainly use an updated version of this map and derive a huge amount of value from it.

Rizzlet, that is just what I want to connect the map with is users like yourself.

I need to get in contact with the original creators to ask them how to help.
If anyone could help me do so I would so much appreciate it!

Sorry, but I'm not sure how to get in contact with them. However, I wish you the best of luck in the future. I'll continue to monitor this thread and watch for any developments.

I would be interested in a working YABOT. Judging from the 40 page thread, other poeple might be too. I doubt I could help though.
Let us know your progress on this project !

I`m also working at map very similar with YABOT. But it has some unique functionality.
Unfortunately, there is a rule on TL that new registered users cannot create topic in first three days after registrations.
Look for announce in three days

Well, since everyone else is doing this I may as well too! I'm also working on a mod with YABOT-like functionality. (

)

If I could make a request of you guys it would be to stay true to the YABOT encoding scheme if that's what you are using so that builds can be transfered between tools. Or if you want to put your own spin on things then document your extensions to the encoding so others can do the same.

I'm always interested in a new Yabot-like map, I find them very useful for practicing a new build/idea. If you make an updated version, I will be very happy :D

Since almost all of the last posts in this thread are about a replacement for YABOT. I have been working on a project called Benchmarker for the last year as a tool to replace YABOT and what it was used for back in WoL.

I figured I'd go ahead and add a link here in case anyone is coming back to the game and finds this thread.
