AI CONTEST #1 Battle Thread

[Joker(Div)]

Where did you get the replays?

 

[BRUTAL]

probably saved them when we were watching lol

 

[Joker(Div)]

ah, post them? or is andrew going to do an official front page post?

 

[Renendaru]

He told us that he's uploading them to youtube once he finishes editing. As well as posting replays for the quality quacks.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

As long as the replays are uploaded zipped with their respective map file.

I'm really looking forward to watching it. Especially that replay you uploaded if it has that bug (when I get home).

 

[Faust]

Do you think one single battle per pairs can decide which is the best?

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Wait to see how convincingly my AI killed things.

(I believe it was 40 seconds, 2 minutes and draw.)

Either way, we have to define "best" as the AI that wins the most, given the terms of winning...

However, I'd like to ask that the very final battle be permitted to last 15 minutes if it would otherwise be a draw.

 

[Renendaru]

My second favorite battle was warden13's warden and Jesus4lyf's. One word: blink.

 

[Kenny]

What version of Warcraft is needed to view the replays?

 

[Renendaru]

1.23. As that's what it was played on.

 

[warden13]

Add more replays please XD

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

There seems to be a damn good reason me and Gwypaas drew (after watching the replay).

There were 2 bugs in the map. No corpses spawned (I believe), and when he used windwalk in the fountains, he was not detected by the owls (or so it seems to me). AndrewGosu, please fix that and rematch it? That's actually why my hero was jamming itself into the top right corner. (My corner code is broken, yes, but I didn't care to fix it because if the hero showed up at a fountain, it would redirect to it... But of course while he was in the fountains with windwalk he didn't even show up as detected on the multiboard. Very unfair ...)

My apologies if I'm mistaken (and it very well may be a draw anyway).

Nonetheless, I was shocked when I saw the double avatar. That was exceptionally odd.

 

[Renendaru]

I'll upload the match of warden13 and Jesus4Lyf, it just made me rofl. I'll be editing this post.

Edit: Here it is.

Edit2: I really liked J4L's warden in this. Not sure if it on purpose but it always casts shadow strike AFTER warden13's warden blinked. And, J4L's dodged all the shadow strikes I believe, if not all but one.

 

[warden13]

Aha my blink-dodge trigger seems to failed. And no he wasn't casting after I blink, I was blinking before he finishes casting, Maybe I should test more XD

 

[Renendaru]

Still, the results were unexpected, I'm surprised shadow hunter didn't win more, it was the best coded as far as int heroes go.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

I believe warden13's hit my warden once while blink was on CD early on. I forget, though.
It was a great match to watch while I ate breakfast.

Sadly, it didn't last as long as breakfast did.

 

[Renendaru]

That's mean Jesus... I think yours just had better detection. Warden13's AI did fine really.

It seems everyone's AI depended on mana WAY too much. It infact kept 2 people alive when one hero ran for mana when the enemy was hit from death.

 

[Daskunk]

There seems to be a damn good reason me and Gwypaas drew (after watching the replay).

Nonetheless, I was shocked when I saw the double avatar. That was exceptionally odd.

Yes, It was most certainly bugged, without doubt. You shouldn't be able to blink that much or do double avatar.

Amusing fights so far, allthough I've only seen two.

 

[Andrewgosu]

No corpses spawned, and when he used windwalk in the fountains, he was not detected by the owls

The corpse no-spawn "feature" was my bad because I didn't turn on the trigger.

I have to look into to the owl thing though, possibly add another detection way or re-place the owls.



Anyway, the results of group A are now posted, as well as the replays.

The videos will come soon as I still have to convert them and upload to youtube, which takes some time.


Lastly, I apologise for the constant fails during live battles, I hope to elimate them for today's battles.
