Hmm, that's not the point. Suppose some lab is idle (cause all the necessary research is already being researched), and an ally has just completed some research that opened up new research possibilities for that lab. How would it know it should get back to work?

when it comes to this game and the ai. I DO NOT JOKE. PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE. and if some evil troll somehow compromised my account - you would all know it. now, answer the charges. why, when i try to use these new ai's, do they just sit in their ( expletive deleted ) bases and do absolutely nothing, like any European army would do in real life. :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3

I believe lav was talking about the semperfi-js AI, and not the NullBot. I think there was some sort of misunderstanding.

That's what it looks like to me. :lecture:

I decided to do a skirmish vs. NullBotv0.3 on Vision: http://youtu.be/zkogTzoIWCw

It wasn't too difficult at medium difficulty, but does adapt. I admit I was a little worried when it started pumping MG Borgs before I started producing MRA.

I think it would have done better if it attacked my derricks with an MG tower, and built Cobra bodies sooner. Then again, maybe it would have had Cobra sooner if it had built research modules. :hmm:
This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241

New version up, a few slight tweaks in grouping and micro, but nothing special actually.

Got an exception in nullbot 0-3, line 346, loc is undefined if the previous call to pickStructLocation() fails (which can happen if the location is full -- this was pretty late in a very big game).

Sorry i can't test it yet, but i think it should work. At least it worked last time i tried 3.1 branch from git.

I'll have a look (:

Who said anything about swearing? The above throwaway remark is a cheap jibe and very disrespectful. The least you could do is withdraw it.
