Re: dumb.js: a simple PSO based AI that stronger than bonecrusher

Aha ok, good on the drums.

True usually in that kind of NTW game. In big games (not NTW) is not always like this.

This bot is planned only to be used for NTW type of map?

Re: dumb.js: a simple PSO based AI that stronger than bonecrusher

Can also add DORDER_RECOVER for target.stattype === ARTIFACT - for tanks + cyborgs.

When checking the oilDrum code, is this a bit "cheating" because bot does not check on OilDrum in visible range? First we should be exploring map and only on visible tiles do we then issue the DORDER_RECOVER on min ...

Re: Video Quality for Video Files For Warzone 2100

Yeah though I'm not a fan of it, Discord is the way now.

I can take a look if you like Mac. I've been working with another experienced contributor where we're getting this handled along with some other improvements using "newer" codecs with more appropriate bit-rates. Truth has to be said that any ...

Re: Cutscene upscaling

More a self note here: (As I can't seem to edit previous post)
The videos were re-encoded from the uncompressed AVI files via ffmpeg2theora (using libtheora1.1beta1 originally.)

The readme doesn't quite elaborate on the different commands used exactly, per 3 sets of sequences between HQ, STD vs LQ ...

Re: Cutscene upscaling

Indeed and another such tool exists written in C that may be pertinent in this situation - "psxavenc"

I concur, that result looks nice. Ideally, having both videos play side-by-side to highlight the comparison would be great way to showcase it imo.

On my first glance when comparing videos side-by ...

For a touch more background info to the reader:
RPL2AVI tool was first used to convert the actual original .RPL files into an uncompressed AVI file format. By some very hacky code (admitted within the comments of the code itself that takes from other open source code elsewhere). RPL also cannot be ...

Re: dumb.js: a simple PSO based AI that stronger than bonecrusher

I had a thought as well that, while droid order == move || retreat, to perform some terrain analysis as it moves to prefer moving over roads if seen and to avoid steep inclines where possible.

Also, consider factory orientation to face direction of produced units to local map gateway or enemy ...

Re: Multiplayer challenge: wave defense

Having this in a new Challenges category, natively installed to the game would be quite good.

Re: dumb.js: a simple PSO based AI that stronger than bonecrusher

Having an interest in the progress, I made a few tests on Sk-FishNets map with this bot.

The build order when using no bases, strongly advise changing this. This factor is causing it to lose the game. Other bots first make 2 facs, lab, then CC after but dumb24 makes lab, gen and CC first before any ...

Re: Problems with AI in my MOD, need help...

Here you go. I was surprised while testing that it is quite competitive against Cobra.

As the name implies... it is a simple bot hack but gets you 95% there. Does build very few, but some MG tanks.
Game on T2 or higher only, as on T1 you have no mortars so it defaults to MG spam.

Ideally we need a ...

Re: Problems with AI in my MOD, need help...

I'm not fully certain but have a few ideas that may help:

Try testing this with Nullbot as well, it has a few lines of code that disables producing units before a given design is available to it.
"Being able to build units before designing them"
I don't think the others have this type of code, so ...

Re: Reclamation Campaign

I made some suggestions elsewhere, definitively reckon it'd be better using more focus on Cyborgs only and shifting some techs around.
It seems odd you get tracks before half-tracks and no medium bodies even. Flamer comes quite late too.
Having a Mortar pit by L4 would be good and more AA related ...
