Stock Showcases / another variation

« on: May 26, 2008, 05:50:23 AM »

here the variation is based on hammer.
The heavy bot is deadly for it breaks most of the weapon  and protection attached to other bots, then it deal with their core. It is also well protected.

Flower Power may bring eternal peace to your bots.
This is a variation of the same idea

The main reasons for a RA2 crash are :
-the file AI/Bindings.py is not correct. In Python, indentation is important. When this happens, RA2 crashed quickly. -> just edit you file Bindings.py and verify that all line 'list.append...' start with a few blank (all the same number).
-The second reason is that the kind of bot is misspelled in the Bindings.py or they are syntax error (missing quotes, unclosed parenthesis, etc) : ie : you write 'Spiner' instead of 'Spinner'. Here also, RA2 crashes quickly. You may use an editor which understand Pyhton syntax to help you discover thoses problems. notepad++ which is free and useful.
-The third reason is that the bot you use is based on components (or sound of component) you do not upload. ie: the component contains anti ballast and you do not have them (even hidding) in your components directory.
-The last reason, is that the bot you use is not referenced in your Bindings.py
for the two last reason, RA2 crashes just when you want to fight the bot.

An uncommon reason is also that your AI/team does not contains bots, but that is not usual.

The file uploader refuse any zip or rar wich contains .exe or dll. for this i cannot upload my package.
Any way, i'll contact Starcore to see if he can incorporate the principe in his next pack.

Maybe you have notice that you meet in events only the first 16 teams of the AI.
here is the solution  to interchange the team order : theTeamMixer
first link is only the source code, the exe and a kind of tutorial about implementing the team mixer for new AI (11Mo)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HMNAC501
second link is starecoreV3 customized to support the teamMixer (34 teams,  30Mo)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MW8ZCX3P
Last link is both bbean and StareCore3 teams with the teamMixer (80 teams, 110Mo)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V12IW30Y

to interchange teams : go to RA2/_AI_Tools
execute TeamMixer.bat

i'm still having a look at the forum, even if i do not write no more ... except this tiime, i was cleaning my hard disk and did want to share this old stuff.
Best regards to all, and specially those salty dogs who remeber my name/

General Support / 6 bots by AI team

« on: December 13, 2007, 05:33:24 AM »

Hello,
I've installed RA2 patch 2.1 (with cd and than after the no cd version), but i still challenge  (team eventSchedule) only one from the 3 first bots of each AI teams (bot0, bot1, bot2) , even if they have 6 candidates.
I've verified that my file selectbot_computer.gib file contains thoses lines :
"[Grid]
Rows 1
Columns 6
RowHeight 90
ColWidths 90 17 90 17 90 17 90 17 90 17 90 17
BorderColor 0 0 0 1
..."
Does someone may help me make the programm select opponents (with the good weight) from all the 6 bots of each team and not only the first 3 bots.

Thank you
