i would like to try but the problem is that i dont know much about the standart warcraft III heroes. last time i played the original game is years ago, only doing own maps. lol.
i will try and see if my AI stands a chance (probably not)

a question: are we able to send in more then 1 AI? if i dont know which hero i want to make may i make different AIs for different heroes and submit all of them?

> Can we have EGUI?
I'd rather not.

Though that's up to AndyPandy. =|

Doesn't EGUI need to be "installed", sort of?

Then no.

EGUI is anyway (v)JASS in GUI, but with interface...pseudoJASS?

Well can we use the jass portion of it?

(I think we shouldn't be able to set the custom value of any unit other than the AI.)

Same applies to regular GUI in that case. .__.

Though yes, it needs to be installed.

I don't see anything wrong with that.
Any conflicts with AIs using Custom Value, I will fix.

you said in case of a draw more then 2 heroes will be in the arena at once. but the attached arena map does not offer the possibility of a fight between more then 2 heroes. are you going to fix this or will there be a different arena for draws?

the multiboard and the other triggers are not set for multiple heroes. i wanted to test my AI against 11 other heroes in the arena. (tough i dont think there will be more then 4 heroes in the arena anytime...)
i just want to know if you will upload another arena for more heroes or if i have to change it myself for testing purposes.

We'll use the same arena and just configure the variables and code depending on the number of contestants.

i wonder if we get to lulz if someone fails horribly xD
however. couldnt the blade master always win? If he gets low health he could wind walk back into the fountain, before the other hero

An idea I got, maybe hold the jugdement on b.net, so contestants can follow their AI's battles live?

Also, would it be possible to push the deadline two days?

I would suggest that if an AI uses a variable that is the enemy hero, it should be reset if the enemy hero uses mirror image, so that they dont know which one is real, or for any other reason that it would be approprate/ They could however use a damage detection trigger to check for the real one, as the real one is the only one that deals damage, if that is alowd. Also, if you are going to use owls at the fountains, make sure the trees are invlun, unless they are units, not sentinals.

good idea tom, i was thinking the same thing; though some people obviously live in different time zones and that could cause problems? :p

That's an option because I can host.

Maybe someone can even do a commentary, any volunteers?

Yes, it would cause problems but we'll see.

I live in GMT +2 time zone, though I'm willing to cut my sleeping time if there's enough interest in live battles.

I'm also in favor of pushing the deadline by a few days and I like the idea of watching the AI battles live on Bnet. :)

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
