Alrighty. I've just grabbed Nullbot 2.0 and all of the 2.0 series stuff (including Contingency). Let's see how this goes. :P

v2.01.

Changes for Warzone 2100 v3.1 and master:
  • Allow cyborg engineer production on v3.1, since a workaround for #3133 has been discovered.
  • Add more base structure upgrades to the research path.
  • Fix object transfer event to not react on lost objects, but only on captured objects.
Changes for master only:
  • Modify build orders to adapt to the new starting conditions (no longer get stuck with no power, hopefully; generic personality only, so far).
  • Fix JS exceptions on saving-loading when not forcing AI to follow a certain research path via chat commands.

v2.02

Changes for master:
  • Implement transfering trucks and power via chat commands (see the first post for details).
  • Don't run out of power on other personalities as well; use the new method of estimating queued power.
Changes for Contingency mod AI:
  • Implemented EASY difficulty that makes use of all technologies used by the four personalities. Made it via a cheap trick: it just randomly changes its subpersonality every minute. One minute it's cannon, other minute it's rocket.
  • Implemented team-synchronized subpersonality choosing: in a team, all non-EASY AIs will have the same subpersonality.

NoQ, even if the overall fps are high (160 fps), moving the cam around the map becomes a bit choppy/stuttering! This time, activities on the map are very low...

Just tried out latest NB on 3.1 rc 3 and it's significantly improved.

I'm not noticing any difference in cpu performance between 1.39 and 2.02 on 3.1.

It seemed to be much stronger in its attacks, even on very low oil maps. Its units were tougher than before, as were it's bases, and was doing a great job of attacking base fortifications. I was testing it on Testificate: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=10296#p113760

I see, then you're probably mostly comparing to something before 1.39.

RC3 has 1.35.
The next 3.1 release should have 1.39.

NoQ: It was the map named "DA-mlake-v1.wz" which I attach to this reply. I don´t have a savegame yet but will make one if it happens again. :) Edit: I did another test play now with a different map - no Scavangers. I sometimes wonder about if that Scavangers often cause that choppy/stuttering feeling. I had Scavangers on the DA-mlake map activated. o.O

Quite possible. They add around 150 units in very early game, plus an unknown number of buildings (whatever the map maker placed). I may have a look at optimizing this.

It seems the script is getting out of sync. This is in single-player skirmish mode.

Is it 3.1_rc3? Then some of the errors are due to the group bug, all others too probably. If it's from 3.1-git or master as well, then dunno; was it in the middle of the game? was it when an AI was about to be destroyed?
