Other Tutorials / How to debug Python in RA2
« on: March 07, 2018, 12:03:21 PM »
Enable AI debugging in AI\__init__.py. Replace plus.isDebugMode() with true.

Code: [Select]
class SuperAI(plus.AI):
    "Python base class of the C++ AI."
    name = "No Name"

    debugging = True #plus.isDebugMode()

Enable output of stdout and stderr to a log file by editing Scripts\Main.py
Replace this
Code: [Select]
class giScript_stdout:
    def write(self, s):
        giScript.debug_stdout(s)

class giScript_stderr:
    def __init__(self):
        self.count = 0
    def write(self, s):
        self.count += 1
        giScript.debug_stderr(s)
    def flush(self):
        passWith this:
Code: [Select]
class giScript_stdout:
    def write(self, s):
        giScript.debug_stdout(s)
        output = file("debug.txt", "a")
        output.write(str(s))

class giScript_stderr:
    def __init__(self):
        self.count = 0
    def write(self, s):
        self.count += 1
        output = file("debug.txt", "a")
        output.write(str(s))
        giScript.debug_stderr(s)

    def flush(self):
        pass
Now all python errors will be logged to debug.txt

Add AIHelpers=1 to RA2.cfg to enable debugwindow for the console key (~)/key left to 1, above Tab.
Saves you from having to write plus.showFPS(0) in the Ctrl-F9 window.

All RA2 AI is created as objects in AI.running_ai, which means you can access other currently running AI object through this list.
The AI.SuperAI class is the parent for most AIs, it is a child of the plus.AI object, which is buried in the RA2 executable.

Arenas work mostly the same way, with the Arena.SuperArena being the parent, and a child of plus.Arena. The current arena is however accessed through Arenas.currentArena.

Also, lrn2python as it will make you understand how to do stuff instead of just doing cargo cult programming. Here is a guide https://www.learnpythonthehardway.org/

« on: September 27, 2017, 07:05:59 PM »
We have a new bot exchange. It generates auto previews for .bot files and zips them as well to save space and bandwidth. You can also delete your own bots.
All bots from the old exchange have been transferred.

Enjoy

Modifications / OBJ2RA2 - Obj 3d models to RA2 bot converter - Feedback thread
« on: February 07, 2017, 12:27:03 PM »
OBJ2RA2
Converts obj 3d models into RA2 bots. Models need to have triangular faces.
Takes first argument of command-line as file to convert. So just drag and drop the bot file on the program.

Modifications / Widescreen and 4K UI fix
« on: December 18, 2016, 09:28:07 AM »
Tired of bot pic sticking out of the bottom when running game in widescreen?
Or not being able to use the whole chassis blueprint?

Presenting, the Widescreen UI fix

RA2 totally craps out when running it in higher resolution than 2048x1536?
Status indicators placed totally wonky, making match recording look like sh**?

Fixed that for you. 4K UI fix
Be prepared for squinting a lot.

Also fixed Interface to be usable for both High-res splashes and building

Discussion / Help needed with Python information consolidation
« on: December 16, 2009, 03:54:45 PM »
Winter break is approaching (technically a self-study period) and it seems that I will have time to start working on my RA2 Python guide. However, in order to ensure that I can spend the most time in probing currently less explored areas. I would like everyone to contribute with all the current knowledge in this thread. Which I then will compile and in the end will result in a guide giving a much clearer understanding of how Python is used in RA2. I will not be able to check this thread after the 21st of December, so it can be a bit tight.
Thanks in advance to everyone contributing

Other Tutorials / Incorporating custom tactics - no more messing with tactics.py
« on: July 26, 2009, 05:23:43 PM »
Add your tactic to your AI.

Like this
Code: [Select]
from __future__ import generators
import plus
import AI
from AI import vector3
import Arenas
import Gooey
import math
import Tactics

class HaltAndCatchFire(AI.Tactic):
    name = "HaltAndCatchFire"
   
    def Evaluate(self):
        self.priority = 170
               
    def Execute(self):
            return True
           
class FBS(AI.SuperAI):

Then instead of the usual self.tactics.append(Tactics.HaltAndCatchFire(self)), write this
Code: [Select]
self.tactics.append(HaltAndCatchFire(self))
