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

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.

Uveso's AI Mod

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

AI-Uveso <only for FAF> v108
AI-Uveso-Mod-v108.zip

DownloadSize: 257 KB, Unpacked: 1.93 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 07.Oct.2022(v108)

• Fix: fixed a bug in EconomyBuildConditions. (Mod was build for FAF develop version)
• Fix: fixed pathing to evade cliffs / hills or cluttered areas.
• Fix: sub AI Experimentals was not building defense tanks if enemy is close to base

Update 05.Oct.2022(v107)

• New: completely new marker generator - every movement layer is now created independently
• Del: removed lobby option for AI waypoint genertor. (it's now always on)
• Fix: fixed a bug that could cause the nuke function to error out after a launcher died

Update not public released(v106)

• Test: new marker generator

greetings Uveso.

(Last Update: 07.Oct.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:

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.

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
• Fix: excluded URL0401 (Exp. Mobile Rapid-Fire Artillery) from mobile platoons
• Fix: fixed a bug in T4 Artillery platoon that was not building Seraphim T4 Nuke
• Opt: decrease braveness of ACU in case an experimental or T3 units are detected
• Opt: decrease braveness of ACU for enemy air units
• Opt: increase detection range of pointdefenses by 10
• Opt: increase threatweight for low tech enemy land units
• Opt: changed targets for land experimentals

@Odd-keys

i will take a look at this weekend how the ACU upgrade was implemented and if we can
disable it in case the black ops mod is found.

Hello @Odd-keys

could you please write your request inside the Experimental War thread? Thanks!
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/355/experimentals-wars-1-87-for-gameversion-3652-faf

Nun, ich berechne den Air Crash Schaden mit einer festen Formel für alle einheiten in Mods.

Let's see how random these FAF changes are or if they use some mathematical calculation for all units.

@swaaye said in AI-Uveso (v108) - AI mod for FAForever:

@uveso I looked at the problem with the civilians not attacking the AI again and it does seem to be specific to the Uveso AI. I disabled all other mods and tried a couple maps with civilians. Purely default FAF with just Sorian AI has the civilians attacking everyone correctly. Adding the Uveso AI mod and Uveso AI does not get attacked.

well that is strange.
First thing I can say, I don't have any special function in my AI to deal with civilians.
Will get into it and see what happens there.

Thanks for reporting the issue!

@doompants

why should i hate my best reporter for bugs???

As always thanks for your report, and i will write this down to my ToDo list.
Since this has been fixed in the FAF game, it should be easy to fix in Black Ops as well.

i would add a game option to prevent the exange of factories or engineer.
(or you can only change units if you have the same faction)

@bsee

i guess i found the bug, it should be fixed in v109 (release maybe next weekend)

@bsee

Thanks for reporting!

i will check and fix it.

@MrShady

i only know the location on the repository (Git-Hub):

https://github.com/FAForever/fa/tree/deploy/fafdevelop/testmaps/PerfTestOriginal

@MrShady and @VirusX

2 accounts? - interesting.

Mostly if you script something and you got a gamestart that is "empty" then you should check the game.log for errors.

If you see a lot of errors, only worry about the first one. If you fix the first one, all subsequent errors may go away.

You can also post the "full" game.log here (use pastebin.com) and we can take a look at it.
