1.11.1 Experimental AI

[Temuchin Khan]

I downloaded 1.11.1 for Macintosh OS X 10.5.8, and I tested the experimental AI. Unfortunately, every time it is the computer player's turn, I get a string of six Lua errors, and the AI fails to recruit. Is this a known bug?

It is not a known bug.
Can you provide the error message (You can copy all of them from the Console program), era, and map the problem occurred on?

Edit: No need: there is a dependency on the AI-demos add-on it came from left over that's almost certainly your problem. You can work around it by installing that add-on (or updating/deleting the references). Sorry about that.

Thanks! That did it!

I have the EXACT same problem but on windows.

Operating system: Windows XP, service pack 3, fully up to date
Wesnoth Version 1.11.1
It happens whenever I play a game with the experimental AI. I will keep trying it in other ways to see if anything changes it. Idk if it matters but I saved in my own folder, not the standard directory. Let me know if you need more info.

Did you try Alarantalara's suggestion?

Derp. Didnt see that. It works perfectly fine with the addon. Sorry.

I'm pretty sure this bug is fixed now because I am not having this issue.

Yes, it's been fixed since 1.11.2. Sorry, we should have reported that here. It's in the changelog though:

Code: Select all

Version 1.11.2:
[...]
 * AI:
   * Experimental Multiplayer AI
     [...]
     * Remove dependency on AI-demos add-on

Note that as of 1.11.5 there is also a macro EXPERIMENTAL_AI available for including this AI in single-player scenarios. Also, we are working on another Experimental AI that is much more different from Wesnoth' default AI. That one is currently only available in the AI-demos add-on as it still has some major bugs that don't make it fit for mainline. Also, it currently only works for Side 1 on the Freelands map, but that's a minor detail.

Anyways, development on all these AIs continues, so feedback is very welcome.
