Hello and what should i say, thanks for looking into the thread. I need someone to make me an ai cause i cant make one but i have a map which needs a special ai.

To start things off, we take a look at the map we are gonna use, its a map with a normal ladder playstyle for the human players.

Secondly we take a look at the Computer camp, look at the picture i uploaded to see a computer base in the map.
The base does not have a goldmine since the ai will not be using any resources, it will spawn its units onto the beacon you can see on the picture.
As for its gameplay style, it uses Scouts to wander the map in look for hostilities, in our case the human players. when the scout finds a hostile enemy, it stands still for a few seconds to memorize the spot and then it rushes back to its respective camp to warn of the danger. if a scout detects a human player, that player has 2 choices, in which the first is to slay the scout to make sure the camp will not be aware quite yet of the players presence, although the computer base will send out a search party larger than the lone scout wandering the map, though this party looks for the missing scout. or the player can just let the scout run back to his camp but that will make that camp aware of the player presences and so they start summoning in groups of units to raid the enemy.
(each search party is bigger than the last to make delaying the detection harder and harder, and the search party is sent out shortly after the lone scout is killed).

For more information look to the document file i have uploaded along with the picture.
Thanks for reading and hope you can make this particular ai for me.
I would really apriciate it as the map is already finished, i just need this ai.

Oh, for any questions i'd be glad to take them =)
You can also add me to msn if you like for easier communication.

Partially yes, he has thought up a brilliant yet somewhat complicated idea for a custom Warcraft III Artificial Intelligence and needs help creating it. He wants someone with experience in triggering and AI to take up his idea and help him create this. I personally think this is a great idea but with a couple of flaws that I can see.

Wouldn't human players have some sort of advantage over the computer AI players?

  • They wouldn't have to scout and already know the enemy exists.
  • They would be able to counter threats immediately instead of having to notify the base.
  • They can skip things like search parties and just do an all-out attack on the enemy base.

This would be fun to watch two or more computer players go at it with this system, but I believe the human player has an unfair advantage against the AI.

My two cents,

The AI has an advantage incase you didnt know.
there will be aproximetly 10 computer players against 2 human players, as if that wasnt enough their units are creepbased so certain computer players have units stronger than the human players do.
 
Ah, I didn't realize this was a team-based AI. I was assuming this was more of a 1v1 or 2v2 etc type of game. Also, I think I would like to join this project. I have created a fairly complicated Hero AI in the past and I am always fascinated by artificial intelligence. Have you completed any part of the map yet, or are you just in the idea stage?
 
The map is done, completed ya know. all i really need to be done is the ai and thats where my map comes to a halt since i cant produce an ai at all.

If you want to join the project you are most welcome. =)
 
Sadly, I do not. I do however have Xfire and AIM.

Xfire: sodnight
AIM: portalinnovation
 
Deathknight is working on the ai as far as im informed, you could help out by making up various computer player races (You can pick any units, for example the hardest camp in my map is composed of Sea Giants). Ofc they just have to be written up, not actually put in an example map as long as i know which unit you are referring to.
 
is deathknight still working on it? I can't wait for this to be released and why say you need help with AI when deathkinght is working on it already?
 
Because before i got news about the ai i thought he never were working on it thats why. :p
and if you are interested in seeing the map i can easily help with that.
 
Smygarn777,

Please send me the map, I would like to see what has been accomplished at this point and begin working right away. Please send it as an attachment to: [email protected]

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
