Advanced Melee AI

[Strategy Master]

Hi Strategy Master, thank alot for the awesome work on this AI.
But i got a problem with 3.3.3 . If i go team with a Comp vs my friend + a Comp. We got disconect right after the AMAI chat in very first minute of the game .
Someone got this problem or just me ? I tested with many maps (no any trigger inside)

Thanks Domivn, is this happening with the Commander installed or without? If yes it may be a workaround to try without the Commander installed otherwise may be something causing the desync in the core logic.

Mine was without Commander. TFT Classic,and i'm playing on 1.31

@DOMIVN I've just uploaded a 3.3.3a with some obvious fixes i've spotted that would have caused desyncs.

I may need to make it extra forceful when it detects humans.

Released 3.3.4 . Should fix your issue @Mint Blancmanche

 

[Mint Blancmanche]

seems to be working perfect, no one came to fuck around on my expo.
don't know if I asked before, but there's no way to send money to allied AI through the ally menu? because one AI left the game and once the heroes I was controlling died, there was no way to revive them, the AI had 0 gold left and no workers.

 

[gartoll]

I don't think there's one rn, maybe if you play through LAN that might fix something but that means that you'd have limited pauses etc so idk

Any chance someone can help a Mac player with an updated map pack with the new AMAI version?? Please and thank you!

 

[Mint Blancmanche]

is this a bug or just never working?
it's supposed to say an enemy color, but I have never seen it working.

also, when is the sound "creepaggrowhat1" used in the game? besides by the AMAI to announce their strategy? I'm using a custom one that sounds more pleasant, instead of the default one from the game that sound like someone is hitting your ears with a brick :S

edit: noticed it's working in some lines, must be some of the messages not written properly.

 

[DOMIVN]

Look like a bug, many heroes from Tavern not pick skill point . And Undead buy Goblin Shredder but not use it to havest lumber, just stay at base and keep very low lumber. Im using AMAI 3.3.4 and TFT no Commander , play on 1.31.1

I need some explanation on how to install this bundle. Been looking around this description page and all the external links for hours without being able to find the installation instruction.



So I am using War 3 patch 1.30.4.

1) What exactly do I need to download?

1.1) Do I only need to download the launcher?

1.2) Do I need to download the AI package too or does the launcher have with it the AI package already?



2) I got both the AI package and launcher.

2.1) Do I need to do anything else or is the installation of this bundle finished?

2.2) Do need to transfer the files and folders within the "TFT" folder of the AI package into the "TFT" folder within the "Scripts" folder of the Launcher folder?

 

[Mint Blancmanche]

why are night elves so prone to block the entrance on maps like market square that only have one way in and out of the base.
it happens very often and they end being stuck inside, only let space for worker unit to go out and expand xD

copy the amai folder inside the installer resources folder.
then run amai-electron-manager and install the version you need into the map.
make sure map is using jass language.

So this looks really great, and I suppose if I want to find more about it I'll just have to install it and try it out, but since I don't have access to my PC right now, maybe a few questions. I believe I am working with a 1.29 Version (it supports 480 maps with 24 players).

1) From the latest Updates and Feedback here, is it essentially as simple as copying maps to new folders and running the installer? And going into "Scenario" in the editor for the right melee data I guess.

2) AI always has trouble with 480x480 maps, but I found even vanilla blizzard AI lets you have at least some gameplay in the 480ies (it's just that some of the AI players randomly decide to just keep spamming workers, and things like that). Does AMAI do better than vanilla AI with huge maps?

2a) Related, several posters said 24 player maps do not work because they crash. Is that still true?

3) The AI chat is a neat feature, but I feel it would clash with what I try to do especially in custom campaigns. Is it easy to turn off?

4) I do indeed work with modified melee maps, meaning units have different stats. Is that a no-go? Posters here said it is only really guaranteed to work with un-modded techtrees.
Also, one feature in my project is that buildable terrain is itself a resource, in that most of the terrain is unbuildable and every base location has only so much space, meaning you can never have all techtree buildings in one spot and are forced to expand if you ever want the full techtree. Is that something AMAI could handle? I know vanilla AI seems to be doing okay-ish as they seek relentlessly for building spots, but I haven't done too much testing yet.

1) Yea and if something goes wrong feel free to ask here

2) I dont know
2a) Most likely cuz you are running older version which hasnt been updated in years

3) AMAI does not work with custom campaigns. Either way, I think it can be turned off

4) This works like Blizz AI does. If you modify units, then it should not be a problem. Some triggers will also not affect AMAI (eg adding a timer). But adding an entire new resouce is... not recommended. You will have to modify the entire code yourself, which is one hell of an overkill. It's gonna act like Blizz AI does.


Some other things that break AMAI are spawns close to each other, like Friends (tho it's fixed with the newest version, which is Reforged only) & stuff like gates. I remember I wanted to play a melee map in which a gate had to be destroyed for the teams to be able to finally meet each other (Dragon Fortess) and all bots would just try to enter without entering the gate, resulting in all of them being stuck

this might occur because AMAI is made for patch 1.36 data. AKA you might have downloaded incorrect version

Im using Classic AMAI bro, not the RF one.

 

[gartoll]

You're using AMAI 3.4.4 right? This is reforged, 1.36+ only. If you're playing on classic patch 1.29, it was around this time where Blizz AI broke and wouldnt learn any spells either

Hi all, I am using AMAI on Reforged (however the game is played on Classic graphics).

I have downloaded the AMAI installer and extracted the latest version (3.3.4) and the CASC View.exe to extract the maps I wanted into the folder C:\Users\User\Documents\Warcraft III\Maps\AMAI. All the maps were cut & paste into the folder and deleting the subfolders that contained them during extraction). After that I ran the AMAI electron Manager and chose 'Install Reforged on Folder' as instructed and after the process is completed I ran the game, chose a map from the AMAI folder & started the game, I did receive the messages that AMAI is installed for this game however when I used the cheatcode iseedeadpeople to check on what the computer is doing, all I saw was Orc Peons only mining gold and Night Elf Wisps only mining lumber without building additional workers or construct any buildings?

May I know what went wrong in my installation or should I try with earlier version of the installer?

check that the map is using jass language.

How do I check for that? And if not how do I fix it? Thanks.

Sorry can you let me know how do I access those options with more detailed steps? Where do I look for that?

Thanks.

open the map through the world editor, then scenario -> map properties is on the top.

Scirpt language is the second to last one. Here are screenshot for help
