DSL 3 AI

Any help? :c

(I probably seem dumb now lol xD)

[Badnik96]

That's because of the DSL3 wheel change. Due to that, all the AI robots move backwards. It's annoying, I know.

I think Paranoia still has the only officially released DSL3 AI, so go download that for competent AI.

[Tibsy]

Ah, fair. I'll check it out, cheers Badnik

[Tibsy]

Right, this is happened to me way too many times.

I followed all the correct instructions and STILL my DSL3 crashes on startup after I put my team in the 'Teams.txt' and the Bindings.py
And I know you can make your own AI teams because I have an AI pack installed on it.

I really need some help with this!!! URGENTLY!!

URGENTLY!!

Why so urgent?

Anyway, show a screenshot of your AI folder and also the entire text of the teams.txt and bindings.py (use the code tags around those 2 if you copy-paste the contents)

You've set the last team, 'Tibsy', to have 6 robots (see: Robots: 0 1 2 3 4 5) and there only appears to be 1 in the bindings. Also is the thumbnail picture a 128x128 bmp?

EDIT: You also seem to have put a tab in before your bindings line rather than the 4 spaces the game uses.

The game can work with empty slots, it's happened before.
And yes, every time I update my avatar I always create different versions of it: Dimensions and Image Types (I have a sort of OCD for consistency..)

Also: I was putting the code tags in ¬_¬ ...Cheers for that anyway

I don't think the AI likes working with empty slots - I just deleted Backyard Ripper's bot file from a test version of Stock I have and the team crashes the game whenever I click it, so I would recommend changing Robots: 0 1 2 3 4 5 to Robots: 0 and also fixing that binding issue.

EDIT: Yep, that tab instead of 4 spaces will crash the game on launch, just tested.

Deleted 1 2 3 4 & 5 so it's just zero.

And I don't know how to fix the binding issue... I'm extremely new to AIing

What you have in the bindings is this

Code: [Select]

#10 - Tibsy
list.append( ("Sharpfin", "Omni", { 'radius':0.1, 'topspeed' : 99.0, 'turnspeed': 3.5, 'weapons': (2, 3) }) )

Before list.append, that line above has a tab - but check out the other lines

Code: [Select]

    list.append( ("SHW - Tea", "Spinner", { 'invertible': True, 'radius':0.6, 'topspeed' : 99.0, 'turnspeed': 4, 'range':30, 'weapons': (23, 24, 25) }) )They all have 4 spaces before list.append, not a tab. Therefore, if you change your line to:

Code: [Select]

#10 - Tibsy
    list.append( ("Sharpfin", "Omni", { 'radius':0.1, 'topspeed' : 99.0, 'turnspeed': 3.5, 'weapons': (2, 3) }) )It'll work (the tab spacing has been replaced with 4 spaces)

[Tibsy]

Just put that in. Going to test now.

UPDATE: It does work now. Thank you. Also, where can I find an AI tutorial so I can have a spinning disc bot have its weapon constantly rotating as the one I've AI'd seems to be constantly turning the disc on and off again.

[cephalopod]

You need to add the range parameter and have it set pretty high, keeping it on omni is fine.

Code: [Select]

    list.append( ("Sharpfin", "Omni", { 'radius':0.1,'range':99, 'topspeed' : 99.0, 'turnspeed': 3.5, 'weapons': (2, 3) }) )
What AI guide have you read? Get hold oh Philetbabe's AI guide if you haven't read that, it seems you may be missing a few skills that covers. Obtainable from the Tutorial Index.

Also, where can I find an AI tutorial so I can have a spinning disc bot have its weapon constantly rotating as the one I've AI'd seems to be constantly turning the disc on and off again.

One cause of that is AIing your bot with a switch instead of a button.
