Well, i am 51 and my global rating after 14 years of plying is 0 (never played a rated game)

I play rts games since 1992 (Dune) and i have no clue how skilled i am.
At least it's enough to code an AI for SupCom

Uveso's AI Mod

for Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Forever v1.5.3697+
This mod supports Nomads.

AI-Uveso <only for FAF> v100
AI-Uveso-Mod-v100.zip

DownloadSize: 246 KB, Unpacked: 1.83 MB
Downloadable from Vault: Yes.

How to install:

Unpack the archive.

Copy the "AI-Uveso" folder from inside the Mods directory to:

C:\...User...\My Games\Gas Powered games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Mods\

Features:

5 new sub AI's:

• AI: Adaptive; Balanced AI, builds Land, Air, Naval and Experimental units.
• AI: Overwhelm; Like AI-Adaptive, but increases cheat+build factor by 0.6 after 35 minutes and again by 0.6 after 60 minutes.
• AI: Rush; T1, T2 and T3 unit spam with fast tech upgrade and few experimentals.
• AI: Experimentals; Builds a few units and is focussing on building experimental units.
• AI: Easy; Builds a few units and does not attack the enemy base. But it will defend its base.

(For Turtle Play use a adaptive cheat AI with a cheat+build factor of 1.4 on a 10x10 map.)

Unless other AIs it works also well with low unitcap like 250 or even 125 units.
( a unitcap of 700+ is still recommended)

New functions:

• Same functionality on maps with and without AI path markers. (Game is slower without markers.)

• Option to autocreate AI Map marker incl. printing into the game.log for copy&past (Into map_save.lua)

• New target function can handle 2 lakes maps like setons clutch, and has the same functionality with or without AI markers.

• Homeless units (no platoon, stucked etc) will now return to the nearest location for new orders.

• New eco system does not cancel buildorders if eco is low.

• AI detects paragon like buildings for more build power.

• Engineers will set to pause while assisting if eco is too low.

• New mass extractor upgrade logic. AI spends 40% of its overall income for mass upgrades. (can dynamically change)

• AI will first upgrade mass extractors near main base, not in order how they where build.

• AI can/will build support factories.

• AI supports multifaction build and upgrades. (captured units and All Faction mod)

• New nuke AI function for new attack modes with strategical missiles like overwhelm or Jericho bombardment.

• Additional build platoons in case a paragon like structure is build. (Mass nukes, Experimantals spam etc)

• Reworked AI pathfinding function (Edsger Dijkstra's A Star algorithm) - 400% faster than the original GPG algorithm.

• New location range manager is adjusting the influence radius of location managers to prevent overlapping areas.

• New engineer transfer function to move idle engineers from expansions back to main base for better build power.

• Units will not simply be killed on unitcap, they will be send to the enemy or reclaimed.

• Special platton form builder for mods. (Hydrocarbon upgrader for Black Ops etc.)

• New buildconditions for platoon builder and former.

• New unit category "AMPHIBIOUS" to form amphibious platoons. (All amphibious units get this category injected. Also units from mods.)

• New unit category "FLOATING", same as amphibious.

• Debug function to validate maps gives warnings if a map has bad AI path marker, mass points etc.

• Debug function to visualize AI Pathfinding

• Debug function for Platoons. Renames a unit with its Platoon name.

• Debug function for Buildermanger to test/view build priorities and Builder logic errors.

• Commander AI can upgrade all ACU's incl. Black Ops and Nomad ACU's. (and fight ^^)

Update 27.Apr.2022(v100)

• New: ACU will now evade from nuke blast area
• Fix: nukes fired after 35 minutes, not respecting option for gameender
• Opt: increase detection range of pointdefenses by 10

Update 29.Mar.2022(v99)

• New: Added lobby option and buildconditions for gameender build start
• Opt: Strategic missile defense will now also be build in case the AI can't see any enemy nuke launchers.
• Fix: fixed a cache bug inside the mass and hydro CanBuild function.

Update 10.Oct.2021(v98)

• Fix: compatibility patch for insignificant units test. (needed, If you play FAFdevelop)

Thats one of the things that drove me crazy while coding my AI.

Those harbingers always got stuck in base while relaming and repairing stuff instead of moving to the enemy.
From code side i did not found any solution to prevent this behavior.

Thats the reason why AIs normaly don't use harbingers or use normal move instead of attack move for them.

At least i found no solution.

Yes, in version 100 i implement some code to set the AI free.
Hopefully it will dominate the world without killing all humans

greetings Uveso.

(Last Update: 27.Apr.2022)

@LightBearer

The FAF account is linked with steam to prevent smurving.
You can't make a new account and link the game again.

In this way it's sure that the account will not be accidentally deleted
and prevent you from playing.

well, i am red/green color blind and its already a nightmare with the existing colors.
In case we change colors it would be nice to have barrier-free colors.

I hope FAF also stands for accessibility!

If someone is interested in what color blindness is or how colorblind people see colors:
https://jfly.uni-koeln.de/color/ (english)

Update 08.Feb.2021(v91)

• New: Added strategy for NukeSub defense.
• Fix: LUA Error at gameend when an AI was defeated (destroying now buildermanager before brainconditionmonitor)
• Fix: Renamed Function hook for Platoon-, Factory- and Engineerbuilder to prevent a crash with other AIs
• Fix: Removed forced debug key binding ['Ctrl-q']
• Fix: Initial basebuild failed in case the cheatfactor was higher than 1.7 (energy/mass builder)
• Fix: Removed the destination as waypoint from the pathfinding function. (engineers no longer block the build area)
• Fix: Added NutCracker AI to debug functions menu.
• Opt: Platoons with experimentals are now switching a bit earlier to the next waypoint to prevent bumping units.
• Opt: Cybran shields will now upgrade way earlier than before.
• Opt: Added ACU sniper platoon (13-15 fighterbomber -> directattack ACU)
• Opt: AI Ecomanager is now optimized for better game speed.
• Opt: AI can now also recover its base if the ACU is not available (fighting)
• Opt: Adaptive AI now also working with omniview off (on is still better)

This is the enhancement table:

        CoolingUpgrade = {
            BuildCostEnergy = 24000,
            BuildCostMass = 800,
            BuildTime = 800,
            Name = '<LOC enhancements_0081>Microwave Accelerator',
            NewMaxRadius = 30,
            NewRateOfFire = 2,
            Slot = 'LCH',
        },

actual these changes are done:

            ('Molecular Ripper Cannon'):ChangeMaxRadius(30)
            ('Molecular Ripper Cannon'):ChangeRateOfFire(2)

            ('Heavy Microwave Laser'):ChangeMaxRadius(30)
            ('Overcharge Cannon'):ChangeMaxRadius(30)
            ('AutoOvercharge Cannon'):ChangeMaxRadius(30)
            ('Nanite Torpedo'):ChangeMaxRadius(30)

Only the Molecular Ripper Cannon gets a upgrade in rate of fire,
all other weapons only have a bigger max range.

This was the last issue on github about cpu benchmark:
https://github.com/FAForever/fa/issues/2434

Please read my comment:
https://github.com/FAForever/fa/issues/2434#issuecomment-385811821

This could explain why a CPU benchmark is useless in any cases
We should test memory speed.

It's sarcasm bro

@veteranashe

The Tech2 Mass Fabricator is using the buff from the old Tech1 one with this line:

Adjacency = 'T1MassFabricatorAdjacencyBuffs',

It was not renamed when FAF changed it.

@Freedom_

making a unit destroy other units by stomping on it can be changed inside the blueprint by adding this to the footprint table:

    Footfall = {
        Damage = {
            Amount = 1500,
            DamageFriendly = false,
            Radius = 1,
            Type = 'ExperimentalFootfall',
        },
    },

There is no category for target. Its just on if the table Damage exist and off without this table.

Different to that is the table for the Aeon T1 Bomber:
The weapon stun buf has this table:

    Buffs = {
        {
            Add = {
                OnImpact = true,
            },
            AppliedToTarget = true,
            BuffType = 'STUN',
            Duration = 1.5,
            Radius = 4.55,
            TargetAllow = 'ALLUNITS',
            TargetDisallow = 'TECH3,EXPERIMENTAL,COMMAND,WALL',
        },
    },

here you can change the target category for allowed and disalowed targets.

And no, you can't just add these two lines to the footprint table, they will be ignored by the engine.

@Tomma

thanks for reporting this, the change is already merged to the FAF dev version.
And will be part of the next game patch

@veteranashe said in Depth charges in russian translation:

Can we change the English version to death charges?

Please read the topic:
"Depth charges in russian translation"

If you want a change in another language, please open a new thread for it.

made a PR so that we don't forget it

https://github.com/FAForever/fa/pull/3983

@giebmasse said in Adjust the build skirt of naval factories:

Any "normal" player would maybe make the mistake once or twice

Well, the AI ​​will make this mistake for every naval factory.

We have this command to find a place where we want to build the next naval factory:
FindPlaceToBuild('T1SeaFactory', 'ueb0103', BaseCenterPosition)
and the engine search function just returns x,y,z.
Space between buildings is only provided by the unit skirt size.

So for the AI this would be the only way to get more space between naval factories.

I have tried several things the last 6 years to make a better spacing between buildings, but found no solution.

Actual i would really need this change for a better AI play.

I did also a testgame on 'Concord Lake' with an easy AI but also no errors.
no clue what happened

@Howski ,

i tested Total Mayhem, AI-Uveso and Blackops FAF unleashed in a no rush game today.
Got no errors.

Could you test if Supreme score board, BrewLanadditional unit or T2 T3 Storage FAF rebalanced
are causing the crash ?

Also, could you please post the full game.log, so we can see all AI settings, the map you played and so on.
(upload it to pastebin.com and only post the link here)

btw, i only test on the FAF develop version of the game, no clue how the release version is working.
(if you host the next game select the FAF DEV version please)

https://www.reddit.com/r/FAF/comments/v3y4ko/faf_freezing_after_norush/

Deribus already posted me this link 3 says ago.

I tested no rush with Total Mayhem, Black Ops and my AI, but did not found any error or crashes.
Still possible that the storage mod or Brew LAN's units can have an side effect.
