DotA Allstars 6.61b AI v0.21, BuffMePlz Next Map! - DotA-Blog

DotA Allstars 6.61b AI v0.21, BuffMePlz Next Map!

DotA Allstars 6.61b AI v0.21For those waiting for BuffMePlz map, hold your breath! He planned to release the DotA Allstars 6.61b AI v0.21 map within this week ;)



So it looks like the 1.24 situation is much more sticky than I realised. Given that, I think after I finish this testing phase I'll go ahead and post what I've got for everyone to take a swing at.

THIS MEANS IT WILL ONLY WORK ON 1.23 OR EARLIER. PLEASE DON'T E-MAIL ME SAYING THE MAP DOESN'T WORK ON 1.24. I KNOW IT DOESN'T.

This version is more or less a total compatibility overhaul of the script - I haven't had a chance to do many of the rewrites I wanted to, but at the very least most things should be working properly and should be somewhat adequate to allow people to play/practice new heroes/items/builds/whatever.

Because of this, some abilities will not be used properly (or at all) by the AI, but this will be addressed in future versions. The bots will, however, learn all of their abilities (or should). I haven't finished rewriting the levelling system but what's in place should be okay for now.

I've also disabled several game modes and commands until they can be made AI-compatible. Any game mode that requires voting or choosing outside of normal picking methods has been temporarily disabled until I have time to teach the script to play with these modes (-vr, -rv, -rd, -cd, -cm). I've also disabled league modes (-lm, -xl) because, really, who plays league matches with the AI map? The new -so mode has also been disabled.

The -afk and -kickafk commands are disabled, since you should never need them in an AI map, as well as -ah (maphacking against AI bots, really?). -switch is out also because there's no need with -so disabled.

I haven't had time to update the -fun content either, so for now it's been disabled. I will bring this back concurrently while updating the script.

I've modified -pa and -pe to work with the new Tavern system and location, so at least you'll still be able to pick heroes for your allies and for the AI. The item builds have been updated for compatibility ONLY, which means they'll still get the same old items as before. If people are still interested in contributing we might try reviving some threads in the OpenAI forums that address this.

There are also some -dm bugs that I can't quite figure out. I've disabled Dazzle in -dm (much like Meepo is disabled in -dm) because, inexplicably, the game crashes when Dazzle is picked during a deathmatch game. I think some other hero is causing the game to crash, but I can't figure out which (my guess is Huskar). It seems dependent on when heroes are picked and such, so after I post you guys can try to figure it out. =P

I've also renamed the map from "Dota Allstars 6.61b AI+ 1.52" to "DotA Allstars 6.61b AI v0.21". Why "v0.21"? Because it seemed like a good number at the time. =P After all the rewrites and compatibility changes, this is starting to look less and less like the AI we all know and love and more like something else, so I'll go ahead and declare this the beginning of a new stage of AI development. Yay.

Credits still go to cloud_str and RGB. Without their work and dedication this map would not be possible.

Expect an update and a download within the week.


Don't worry, i will post it here as soon as he release the map! ;) You can also subscribe this blog so we can tell you when he release it. But if you want to get Dota 6.61 AI map right away, try the Dota 6.61b AI Plus Pre Alpha 4 :)

Update:
The map is delayed.. Check this post for more information.

    i dun quite get it.. y 0.21.. juz bcuz it is a nice number? better that it would be ai+ 1.53 .. just my thoughts

    ReplyDelete
  7. UnknownAugust 18, 2009 at 8:33 PM

    @override182 - i think it's because he rewrote the map. So he restart the number and stick with 0.21 ;)

  8. override182August 18, 2009 at 8:58 PM

    @alief - i know that somehow he is re-writing n name it after him.. but make it more standardize.. AI+ tagging was well done.. bmp should create a new tag instead of going ahead to 0.21 which sounded lame..

    im not here to flame bmp and i have no intention or wut so ever related to that.. but i guess a new tag would make it more formal and standardized.. :) just my 2cents

    Thanks BMP for all this hard work. Without you (and all those other guys like cipd) a part of DoTA would be incomplete and we sure would feel the void of a very nice exercise tool.

    As for naming the version, though I agree that .21 is a very cool number (as cool as any :) I guess a versioning like timestamp (as you did once) would be better.

    I hope we'll see you and IceFrog in more cooperation and have simultaneous releases in the future.

    Thanks again.

    BMP, RGB, Cloud_str, good job!
    Why 0.21? Because some modes are removed. Although that, I still enjoyed all of their AI map, especially 6.59.

    HEY BMP

    CAN YOU ADD SOME SPECIAL FUN TAVERN OR SPECIAL MODE FOR US?

    OR ADD MODE LIKE SUPER INSANE

    CAN YOU?

    i THINK IN THE NEAR FUTURE YOU CAN DO IT BECAUSE warcraft III 1.24 has now the capacity of 8 mb which means more dota,more hero,more excitement,and more extreme AI

    even if in warcraft III 1.24 now has the capacity of 8Mb per maps..but if IceFrog release full 8Mb maps it means that.. it will be many updates to the AI also because like the the recent 6.61 AI..BMP must prepare almost 2 month to makes it compatible..now only 4Mb if later go to 8Mb it will not be that easy..but let's see that later..he still learn about the compability of the patch isn't he??

    8mb means improved effects and skinning maybe as they effect most in filesize.. the coding of technical n skills r small in size and btw they could be simplified n compressed.. on the other hand. graphics cant.. so it would be a major boost in graphics in my opinion..

  21. AnonymousAugust 20, 2009 at 4:55 PM

    Well.. That will be the next job for BMP after finishing this map..
    But i think, better if he make the quick one first, then the hard one (the 8 mb i mean:), bcoz many people have waited for the AI map impatiently (me too! :)

    anyway, nice job BMP, Keep up the good work :)
    oh yes, troll in 6.59 never use the berseker rage isn't it?(the 1st skill) They will alwayz 'ranged' until the end of the game, am i wrong? :)

    improved effects means an increase in maps size..but I think the next map will not be a full 8mb..but slowly but sure from 4mb to 5mb then to 6mb,then 7mb then the last 8mb..
    it depends on how many increase in heroes and many coding of technical and skills..if in the next map just being introduced 1 or 2 heroes..it won't be slightly 8mb map in my opinion..correct me if I am wrong..

    Oh yeah, make ai for lifestealer, raijin, and the other too^^
    the burning spear? Looks like the ai huskar doesn't use the healthcost?
    Well, but ai huskar is very sensitive.
    Once you come near, he will shoot you with burning spear. That makes farming more difficult
    but i like it ;-)
