AI-Uveso (v116) - AI mod for FAForever
-
Hello Talonus_Reford,
thanks for your report!
There are platoonbuilder for mobile AA in case enemy units are near the base (range 50)
I increased the range, so AA should be build earlierI am also adding some attack and sniper platoons to the AI.
This will take a bit, because i need to programm some functions to see when it makes sense to attack or snipe.But its normal that my AI is not strong in the begining.
It's a Turtle AI and meant to Tech up fast.Have also in mind, the AI is balanced for unit mods.
Mods i always use with my AI:
BlackOpsFAF-ACUs
BlackOpsFAF-Unleashed
Nuclear Repulsor Shields (can stop nuklear missiles)
Quantum Resource Generators (Paragon like structure for all factions)
Total MayhemYou can find the latest mod version on the vault or here:

Oh yeah I should have noted that I use Blackops ACUs and Unleashed. I think the turtle AI should definitely incorporate static PD Into its bases as right now it seems like you can walk right into it.
Also, if its possible they need to push more emphasis on air control, something as simple as their third factory always being air, and constantly pumping interceptors, and eventually ASFs would make a huge difference.
Right now if I rush t2 gunships there's nearly nothing the AI can do and even for the late game using PD, such as the T3 PD added by black Ops, and lower tech PD earlier, in their base would dramatically increase its survivability.
Also if its possible the AI needs to stop throwing engineers into fire bases.
Finally, I just wanted to say I am enjoying this AI and with a few fixes to its AA defense and the ability to snipe and it could be amazing. I tried RNGAI and its ability to respond to attacks is great but it lacks the mod support that this AI has. Honestly a combination of many of the things that AI does and this one would be perfection.

Was really enjoying a match with v91 just then, unfortunately it crashed 53 mins in.
I've uploaded replay and stuff here: https://nextcloud.playsia.pro/s/wRLYecWoRG2CnDP
If there's another log or something that would help let me know.
Was playing on White Fire, AIx Adaptive (1.2x). Only other mod was Supreme Score Board.
-
Hello plasia,
i viewed the replay and continued the simulation without any errors.
Can't say what happened. -
Oh, thanks for looking, it just sim locked for us, we could still chat with eachother. My friend said something similar happened in a game he played by himself, so as it wasn't a one-off I said I'd report it.
-
Yes, please always post any error you have seen.
(Here in the forum or in our Discord channels)I run the game on every day in a endless loop to test unusual or rare errors.
Its the way how i code and test my AI.You can also do some stability test with my AI in case you have changed something or to be sure that all is working.
Create a skirmish game with 2 AIs and set yourself as observer (in FAF you can be an observer in skirmish games)
Then go to options and set Debug Endless game.
Now after starting the game it will run until the end and start the game session automatically again.
It will aso post the restart into the gamelog, so you can view how often the game was restarted and how long a single game lasted. -
I can't sear it was Ai-Uveso issue.
I have had game crashes before but not like this "crash".
Crash effect- all units on screen stop moving
- Mouse still active
- Mouse can hover over any unit and see the info box pop up
- Units can be selected and orders given, they dont move of course, or build, etc.
- map scrolling works, map zoom in out works
- F10 menu works (cant save of course) - Did not try exit to windows but end game did not work
- I checked the game log - see below
At 28 minutes the following showed up in log
This was the FINAL "debug: Gametime: 00:28:00" message.
I don't know but this message occured somewhat down into the log from gametime:

Hello Gladry,
thanks for posting the log.
warning: [platoon.lua, line:2494] *UnitUpgradeAI ERROR: "bab1302":CanBuild( BROBT1PERI ) failed!This means the AI tried to Upgrade the Black Ops Hydrocarbon Power Plant to a HydroCarbon Perimeter Monitoring System from Total Mayhem.
Interesting
I will include a gamepatch to the next AI-Uveso version in case the original game update function can't handle this.

@Uveso
After looking more carfully at the posting options, I now see how I can upload the log file
- I would like to compress it, but up loader here wont let me.
- It wants a smaller file than 2Megs, but wont accept compressed.
- Perhaps if I rename a 7-zip file as another acceptable type?

According to my friend, has had it happen multiple times.
When he tries to capture an enemy unit, it blows up.
Other observations/thoughts:
-
I have played many games and haven't had the fighterbomber squad mentioned in v91 attempt to assassinate my commander.
-
Adaptive is always obsessed with air, builds big fleets of gunships but is often slow to attack with them. It seems to always choose the gunship strategy, even when it should be building navy it does a weak job of it, ie: beach/rock on setons.
-
AI likes to build multiple tactical missile launchers (building), far out of range of any enemy base. This is a waste of resources.
-
imho AI builds too many factories, half the time they aren't even being used, I assume because of resource limitations. This could be spent building firebases or getting an earlier experimental.
-
AI always chooses to build nukes, maybe it could sometimes build T3 Arty instead for late game to mix it up.
-
-
You can't capture a unit from my AI.
It has a selfdestruct function to prevent capturing.The fighter sniper platoon is not finished and only realised over buildconditions.
(It will need a better and specialized function to do the job better.)The gunship strategy is always running. its basically a experimental defense formation.
But if no experiemental is in military range its searching for other targets
(I will rework the targetpriorities here)Tactical missile launchers are defense buildings for an AI.
It will attack land experimental units with it. Also T3 mobile arties that are close to the base.The amount of factories is wanted. The AI will use mostly 60% of all factories.
But if an enemy is close to the base it will use all factories to spam T1 units.
(panic builders)Nuke silos are always builded (so the player can see the threat) but are not always loading missiles.
(they are idle/paused most of the time)Thanks for the great feedback !
-
I found, what I believe to be the code in your platoon.lua for when/whether to update a commander.
However it only seems to check proximity of enemy units and self-distance from base (safety)
I would add an additional check, if any shield has been built at base to put the unit under the shield (I was trying to figure if you had a function for that) before attempting update.I have seen some situations where many units are approaching, launching missiles or firing at a no-self shield or self repair commander during self update.
Also are there any functions where you can check terrain vs weapon firing track? Example: tank firing into a hill when trying to hit a unit theoretically in range. Or a defense turret trying to hit an approaching unit, but firing is direct and unit is down a slope and can only be hit by missiles/rockets or trajectory weapons.
-
I think I might have a fix for the FAF code in NIX2 compressed code archive.
The error was
...ver\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\sim\Unit.lua(3067): attempt to call method `bp.BuildCostEnergy' (a nil value)The original code and my fix.
ORIGINAL: ----------------------- local scale = math.min(4, math.max(1, (bp.BuildCostEnergy / bp.BuildTime or 1) / 50)) FIX: ----------------------- local scale = 4 if bp.BuildCostEnergy and bp.BuildTime then scale = math.min(4, math.max(1, (bp.BuildCostEnergy / bp.BuildTime or 1) / 50)) end -
I will rebuild the whole commander function, the last tournament showed how weak it is.
(I am a turtle player and never see the AI ACU fighting)Yes there is a function to check blocking terrain for weapon fire:
CheckBlockingTerrain()https://github.com/Uveso/AI-Uveso/blob/master/hook/lua/platoon.lua#L3283
(It's not implemented to the commander function yet)
attempt to call method `bp.BuildCostEnergy' (a nil value)This means, there is no entry inside the blueprint of this unit to calculate the
CreateEnhancementEffectsJust changing the code inside unit.lua is not a good solution.
The function itself is ok, but the blueprint is missing the BuildCostEnergy for an enhancement.So the blueprint must be fixed, not the function that reads the blueprint value.

Thanks for the reply
@Uveso said in AI-Uveso (v91) - AI mod for FAForever:
Tactical missile launchers are defense buildings for an AI.
It will attack land experimental units with it. Also T3 mobile arties that are close to the base.I am very much doubting how effective this is, it is easy to dodge (I used to do it all the time, I've been liking non-experimental tactics lately). For the very considerable amount of resources it consumes that could be spent elsewhere. Long range defence would be better as T2 static arty.
A trick I used to use to make sorian AI harder back in the day (it loved TML too) was to prevent the building of it. Made the AI noticeably stronger!
Nuke silos are always builded (so the player can see the threat) but are not always loading missiles.
(they are idle/paused most of the time)This is cool!
But the other point was that the AI could occasionally (especially if adaptive or experimental) mix it up and build a T3 arty instead.

Well you should have in mind my AI is meant to be played with several mods.
There are slow and hevy experimentals with more than 400,000 healthpoints.
They can't dodge and can be easily killed with tactical missiles.
Also T3 static artillery is mostly useless when you have experimental shields.But i will increase the buildratio for artillery. They should be as much artillery than nuke silos at least.
Btw, why don't i see you on our AI-Development discord ?
