Advanced Melee AI

[Kazakh]

I've been playing with it and having a lot of fun. It's way more varied and intelligent than the original AI

Here's a couple of interesting pics:

An AI peasant building a Town Hall next to a Fountain of Health in the Divide and Conquer map, I wonder what prompted the AI to do this. Never happened again even though I played this map and others with Fountains plenty of times

A desperate attack from a NE

The only bug I've found is that sometimes the heroes won't pick up the items they get from creeps, even though they have plenty of inventory space.

 

[Barade]

Does this work with Reforged? Why exactly does it have to be a full modification/.exe? Is it also available for single maps only?

It is possible, but since Reforged uses CASC, it might be a difficult way to install this mod. Furthermore, Blizzard uses the anti-cheat system to prevent you for using third-party modifications. There is a people who posted the installation instructions without problems:
Advanced Melee AI

 

[Strategy Master]

New 3.1 release: Release 3.1 · SMUnlimited/AMAI

@Barade yes it works with reforged.

 

[Daffa]

Can this be installed to an altered melee map and have the map edited after install? Wanted to improve AI of one of my Altered Melee maps.

 

[Strategy Master]

@Daffa: Yes if the altered melee map is still flagged correctly in the map editor as a melee map such that it is using the latest patch data, you can install AMAI to it just fine.

 

[Ravager16829]

Can this be installed to an altered melee map and have the map edited after install? Wanted to improve AI of one of my Altered Melee maps.

You can install this mod assuming that the modified melee map is using the latest patch data.
To find out about this thing, go to "Scenario" -> "Map Option", find the section called "Game Data Set":

 

[Daffa]

Get an echo directory not found for some reason but the process still goes, intentional?

 

[Strategy Master]

@Daffa I'm not sure what you mean. There shouldn't be an error if its installed correctly.

 

[koffing]

I'm a bit lost on how to install and use version 3.1.1

 

[kindredsoul]

I don't get how to install it either so am just using an older version

 

[kekbews]

Can someone upload the maps somewhere, or make a guide for the New 3.1 release i cant make it work

 

[gartoll]

Can someone upload the maps somewhere, or make a guide for the New 3.1 release i cant make it work

If you read carefully, there's a CASC - Storages link. Click this, download the app from the site and copy paste the maps

 

[relliko_r]

It worked for me like this.
1. Download AMAI2.54PE
(or it link at the beginning of the thread)
2. Download CascView.
3. Download AMAI 3.1
4. Replace scripts folder from AMAI 3.1 to AMAI2.54PE folder
4. Extract WC3 maps from game files to a separate folder.
5. Run in powershell approximately e:\amai\AdvancedMeleeAI\AMAI\MPQEditor.exe htsize "e:\amai\war3.w3mod\maps\riverrun.w3m" 64. (Without this, it does not plow when added via AMAI.exe)
6. Add AI as standard via AMAI.exe.

ps. InstallTFTToMap.bat via powershell Or cmd didn't work for me. The files just haven't been edited. Version 1.32.10

ps. InstallTFTToMap.bat via powershell Or cmd didn't work for me. The files just haven't been edited. Version 1.32.10

So let me get this straight.

You installed the first veriosn of amai
You installed the latest version of amai
you replaced the files from one file onto another

profit??Let me check and see how it works out for me

 

[gartoll]

I cannot get AMAI to work at all for me though. I always get errors on the powershell step. When I try to isntall AMAI the way it is intended it only works for human. I cannot understand. What am I doing wrong?

 

[relliko_r]

So let me get this straight.

You installed the first veriosn of amai

According to the description, the new version is registered in the maps only through the command line. But it doesn't work for me.

You installed the latest version of amai

This version is work for me via *.exe. There are old AI scripts and it works partially (only people work. So that all bots work, I prescribe from CMD before install AMAI in map e:\amai\AdvancedMeleeAI\AMAI\MPQEditor.exe htsize "e:\amai\war3.w3mod\maps\yourmap.w3m" 64 )

you replaced the files from one file onto another

Only for new scripts AMAI.

ps. I'll repeat it again. The installation of the new AMAI in the cards via the command line does not work for me. But I was able to do it through dancing with a tambourine and the old *.exe integrator.

For me only Human works no matter which version I try, in which way I try to install. Even human might, occasionally not work but it's rare. Orcs just mine gold, undead sit idle and elf have a 5% chance to work and a 95% chance to send wisps on trees and do nothing. I get some weird errors while trying to install like "the command was unexpected at that time". I tried to ask Foggy in his latest AMAI video hoping for an answer (in english). To my surprised, despite the video being months old offered to help but I still couldn't get it to work with all that copy-pasting. He has some maps ready in the description though.

 

[relliko_r]

Try it map Icecrown

It map with AMAI bots

 

[BarakYisrael]

can anyone explain to me how to get this to work with reforged? i think i installed perl correctly. i have the maps extracted, but when i write
'InstallTFTToMap.bat' i get 'InstallTFTToMap.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. I'm assuming bc that line is for original warcraft 3. so what do i type for reforged?

P.s.
retried the command with perl and get this
"Can't open perl script "InstallTFTtoDir.pl": No such file or directory"

i am confused as to why you are not using an exe like with version 2.54 and instead command prompt?

 

[relliko_r]

кто-нибудь может объяснить мне, как заставить это работать с Reforged?

Try it.
1. Replace scripts folder AMAI 2.54 from folder last AMAI patcher.(2.31)
2. Run to map in powershell e:\amai\AdvancedMeleeAI\AMAI\MPQEditor.exe htsize "e:\amai\war3.w3mod\maps\riverrun.w3m" 64. (Without this, it does not work when added via AMAI.exe)
3. Add AI to map as standard via AMAI.exe from 2.54

3. Add AI to map as standard via AMAI.exe from 2.54

i tried with just extracting amai.exe from 2.54 into the latest version and ran it and it said everything was successful but didnt actually test. ididnt replace scripts or use powershell. how will i know if it works or not? if it doesnt i will have to try your method

 

[gartoll]

I GOT IT WORKING!!
So if you want to download AMAI 3.1.1 for Reforged (Win 10), you can try to do what I did:
1) Put AMAI on your desktop and create a foldr with the maps you want within the AMAI Folder.
2) Then open cmd and type cd C:\Users\username\Desktop\AMAI. That opens the file through CMD.
3) In one line, with the "s, type "./InstallTFTToMap.bat" "./Maps/(2)bootybay.w3m". A bunch of stuff should appear in your CMD and the map works for Booty Bay. You can download it on any map you like by replacing the number of players and the name of the map in your files (.w3m for RoC maps, .w3x for TFT maps).
4) After that, make sure to move the maps from the AMAI folder to your Documents -> W3Reforged -> Maps. If you have any questions, you can try asking me on Reddit (u/gartoll) or add me on Discord (gartoll#6316) to help you since I'm not active here that much

Now I've made a ZIP file with the maps I installed AMAI on. You can try to unzip it and put it on a separate folder in your Reforged maps but it's not guaranteed to work. Some maps I've downloaded in the past are here as well. Mostly unknown 1v1 maps (Mars Lighthouse, Logging camp etc) but NOT W3Champions maps.

[Granite_Golem]

I had a lot of fun with these bots. They play a diverse set of unit compositions and know more "tricks" than the standard war3 AI.

 

[Aaron Jordis]

Oh boy, I really love AMAI. But a video on how to get it working would help tons!

 

[S a n z e]

i need help, whem i run InstallTFTToMap.bat then nothing happens, cmd opens and immediately closes, nothing else

@Daffa: Yes if the altered melee map is still flagged correctly in the map editor as a melee map such that it is using the latest patch data, you can install AMAI to it just fine.

Are there any tutorials on how to create profiles and strategies? I saw that AMAI Strategy Manager uses functions, etc. I just haven't seen anywhere that explains how to use it. And I didn't want to look at the code to understand how this works.

You don't need perl installed to run InstallTFTToMap.bat. To run, maps must be in the same directory as this file and must be run one by one per map.

Except you can use perl to install all the maps at once. I think that you have to type CD followed by the directory of the AMAI folder (not the maps folder that is saved WITH IN the AMAI folder containing the maps you want lt install) followed by the command mentioned on the peel section. If anyone has any questions, check my comment above and if you still have problems, I've dropped my Reddit and Discord there so you can contract me.

Thanks. Perl is a language. However, I guess I'll have to learn jass which is the specific language WC3 uses, in addition to perl.

Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19Sc4ZyHREJJiCGv5fdwXqSHN5HWjiC4j/view?usp=sharing

Quoted just to confirm that this works for me. To anyone having problems, try the following:
-The Path where you have saved/unzipped the AMAI files (including the InstallTFTToMap.bat) should not contain any blanks.
-The map on which you want to install AMAI should not contain any already existing triggers, scripts etc (for example, w3champions maps may cause issues because of this). Just take a plain melee map.

If you disable the commander (delete/rename amai's Scripts/blizzard.j) you should in theory have a better time of installing it to melee maps with custom triggers as long as its using latest patch dataset and the melee AI is started.

Uploaded a few translation fixes with 3.2.1

### Fix

• Port fix such that commander menu titles don't go missing in some cases (from 2.6.x by jzy-chitong56)
• Fix translation issues with the commander and by using the commander language selection, also ensure english is the default for missing translations.
• (DevTools) Language selection dialog message is now exposed for translation.

Yes. Tried to download AMAI on a w3c map, didn't work (even tho Blizz A.I. did). I downloaded some maps before their w3c updates (such as Ferocity)

However, iirc it works with Hero Snipe Fest and some other modes.

Hey, cna you give the list of maps thya you have. I can send you a link in a few days with almost 300 maps with AMAI, including synergy and Friends with spawns not as close to each other so it doesn't bug. But I will need at least a week for it, since I don't have access to a pc rn and I need to update wc3, and reinstall the maps. Speaking of which, can I just run the 1.33 script over the maps with 1.32 scripts in them? Will it bug out?


Edit: I am attempting to find if I have a .zip version online. Maybe this is the right link with the 300 maps, maybe not (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P5-cWGemLOXHiUW1XekvUc3qWWhPhXmo/view?usp=drivesdk)

You can also try this one (https://drive.google.com/file/d/19Sc4ZyHREJJiCGv5fdwXqSHN5HWjiC4j/view?usp=drivesdk). If neither of those are right, then you'll have to wait.

Also ideas:
1) Add an option to share units with the AMAI. Like, a button that gives you control over the AMAI without it losing theirs, similarly to online Tema games, where you can share unit control with your allies. It could also go vice versa, meaning both you and the AMAI ally/allies you give control can access your units.

2)When a bot leaves, instead of destroying their building and units, they give full control to their allies, humans or not, the same way you gain control over a leaver on online games. Extra points if there is a chance to give gold automatically to their allies before they leave.

I'd be really pleased to see them both, but they sounds too hard to implement and won't be surprised if you reject the ideas.

You may be able to install to w3c maps if you disable the commander scripts by renaming or deleting it before installing, but needs testing.

Just included the following in the map pack.
(2)Amazonia
(4)losttemple_lv
(4)twistedmeadows
(6)gnollwood
(8)twilightruins_lv

You can reinstall over the top of maps just fine. Note there is an issue if you keep doing that repeatedly, over time the size of maps will get bigger and bigger.

Thanks for the ideas, I have thought about something like that before but there are difficulties. I'll keep a record anyway.

Thanks for the ideas, I have thought about something like that before but there are difficulties. I'll keep a record anyway.

Great. Maybe a way to uninstall AMAI and reinstall it could exist so they don't get bigger in size? It cna get bad really quickly for ppl like me.

You may be able to install to w3c maps if you disable the commander scripts by renaming or deleting it before installing, but needs testing.

Just included the following in the map pack.

I think it may be a bug in MPQEditor.exe and AddToMPQ.exe that, with each passing through the map, adds the AMAI scripts again. Most likely, these binaries don't know or don't check if any scripts have already been injected into any maps. But it's just a hypothesis.

Edited:
Probably the bug is here.

What does htize 64 do?
Change the size of the map data?
Are we calling AddToMPQ multiple times unnecessarily?
Can we make the AddToMPQ call in just one line?
