The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Those are all AI test scenarios that you start from the commandline. The first set are the Micro AI test scenarios and the wiki explains here how to start them. You can also start each of them individually, which is explained in the sections about the individual Micro AIs on the same page. The secon...

Okay, if that's the moving behavior you like, that's good. I think we can also improve the efficiency of crossing the river by changing a couple of the parameters in the code. I'll see how hard it is to combine this with the attacks of the multi-pack wolves. Shouldn't be too bad, but until I try tha...

I've had a first look at this and I am not sure that the Wolves MAI is the right AI to use here. It is set up to spread the "wolves" out in a line roughly perpendicular to the direction in which the target is located, and as a result, they don't make much progress toward the target. This seems parti...

I think for the short term I should try to do that. The condition could be "all the members of the pack are in range of an unit of the player and none of them is in range of a trader". That would ensure that the pack has a chance to stay grouped. Actually, I am unsure how to do that in WML (test we...

Hey nenau, Thanks for the feedback. It's good to see people using the Micro AIs and making suggestions for improvements. I looked at your replay and I see what you mean. Do you know if there is a way to reduce aggressivity towards a player in particular? Unfortunately, that's not possible. That's a ...

I know you said that you'll probably not do it this way, but just for the record (in case somebody looks up this thread in the future) I'll add one thing: Celtic_Minstrel's method should work, but I'd probably do a minor variation on it: Instead of the candidate action in Step 3. returning a very lo...

Hi Spannerbag, just a couple more quick things: I kinda thought it was something to do with path finding because it didn't happen straight away but rather in the early teens (turn 13, 14 etc.). Once it happened, all subsequent spawned units at that location were also affected. The scenario begins wi...

Hi, This does not sound like "standard" AI behavior, but like something else is going on. Unfortunately, without you posting a test case it is essentially impossible to tell what that might be, but I'll make two mostly random guesses anyway: 1. Do you maybe have first_time_only=no in the event that ...

Also, since the entire Micro AI is written in Lua, you could add a local, fixed version of the MAI to your campaign and use that. Then it becomes independent of the version a player uses. Might not be worth the effort though.

Hmm, I have used [avoid] tags multiple times and never noticed any significant or unusual delays. Would it be possible for you to send me a test case so that I can look into what's happening? (Feel free to do so by PM, so that it won't be a spoiler.) Sometimes there are relatively simple optimizatio...

Yes, that's it, and it is already fixed, but only from Wesnoth 1.14.6 on, while it looks like you're using 1.14.5.

I believe that what Celtic_Minstrel says is true, just that it is the last, not the first, facet which is active. As in, whatever facet is added last overwrites all previous ones. The exception to this, and the reason why multiple facets are possible, is when facets only apply at a certain times of ...

Xalzar: It depends on whether you want to change a "simple" AI aspect (one that has a syntax using a key, such as recruitment_pattern=... ) or a "composite" aspect (taking a tag, such as recruitment_instructions ). For the former, you can use [modify_side] , for the latter you need [modify_ai] . An ...

Nyanyanyan: Another option would be to use the Simple Attack Micro AI set to attack only enemy leaders. The behavior would be somewhat different from what you have right now. For example, it would only attack enemy leaders and it would always attack those (both of which is mostly but not 100% the ca...

So ... well ... work on Fred is not entirely stalled, but it is proceeding very much at a snail's pace. I would not usually release a version at this stage, but it's been a long time since the last release and I will be away for the next month with very little or no time for Wesnoth. So here it is a...
