OpenRA

Posted: **Mon Oct 04, 2010 10:09 pm**

I'm currently working on creating a rather generic AI system for OpenRA (Only for the RA mod at this time)

You can find the most recent published sources @ http://github.com/geckosoft/OpenRA/tree/gecko_ai

I'll use this topic to inform of changes.

If you think you got a great idea for a bot to have, do tell

To give you the idea of the bot layout (system not feature complete yet):

Code: Select all

Will it support splitting the AI mind into multiple files? How are you gonna handle different sides and difficulty settings?

This looks like a great start.

Mind is just stored in YAML, cant really split up.

I has support for multiple sides already : The AI works on all sides + you can, in the 'groups', define both barracks for example (soviet / allies) and it'll ignore if the building is from the other side.

Might improve this later, but with the new trigger system, you can do things clean and have different groups per side

Hmm, that's a nice way to support multiple sides. Wouldn't it be possible to split taskforces and miscellaneous settings up into seperate YAML files? I could imagine that one file can get pretty big.

Actually, I think you can (ab)use Inherits for this

edit: Nope cant

You can merge multiple yaml files just fine.
