The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

There's a bug with this scenario, running on Wesnoth 1.15.3; see attached screenshot. This was actually a mainline bug in new code that keeps AI units from marching in single file. It is fixed now . As this is a change in Lua code, you could just apply the fix to your copy of 1.15.3, no compiling r...

Just noting that vghetto reported this in Issue #4887 (thanks!) and that it is fixed now.

It's always hard to understand somebody else's code, esp. if it's dealing with something that one is not very familiar with (which you might or might not be, I don't know). Let me know if there is something specific you would still like to do or change, and I am sure we can work it out together. On ...

For the record, this is now fixed in both 1.14 (as of 1.14.12) and 1.15 (will be in 1.15.4), see Issue #4890. Thanks, vghetto, both for finding this and for opening the issue.

It looks like you figured out the issue yourself again. :-) (I didn't see that until after I looked into the demo you first posted.) Indeed, the reason why the healers don't go for those injured units is because, in the original version you posted, they have MP left. That's done so that the rest of ...

Hey vghetto, Very nice, adjusting the Micro AIs to your needs! That's really how we meant it back in the day. We set up a variety of "default" behaviors, but it is impossible to predict every possible use, so modifying them to your use case might sometimes be the best way forward. Sorry for the slow...

Okay, so here are the answers to your questions. Can I clarify the situation? Of course! It's always good when somebody tries to understand what the AI actually does, rather than treating it as a black box. So, the Spearman in demario's example (which is no longer controlled by the 'patroller' micro...

Hey Bob. I'm going to reply to your questions later. I want to look at the two saves again and test a couple things first, just to be sure. As for your desired behavior, if I understand you correctly that should actually be relatively simple to accomplish, I think, and without any work arounds. You ...

I hope Bob_the_Mighty will not mind my hijacking his thread but there is another run that I have trouble to understand. I cannot speak for Bob_the_Mighty, but my interpretation of his previous post is that both the former and this case (as you will see below) is not the behavior he desired. So it's...

- The situation with the patroller is weird. Patrollers are set to walk their route unless there is a visible enemy within five hexes in which case they will move towards them. However, in your savegame the situation is unusual: there is a visible enemy within 5 hexes, so the patroller is released ...

Well, that's very much a non-trivial problem (and not exactly what I imagined you were trying to do). If you think about how you would play the AI side as a human player, it involves decisions which units should attack in order to open a gap vs. which should press forward toward the goal vs. potenti...

You still haven't given quite enough information for us to know exactly how best to advice you. However, the Goto Micro AI is quite versatile and can probably be set up for this purpose. You might want to check that out.

Hmm. controller= used to default to 'ai', that's why it is not set for the side. I do not recall when that was changed, but it appears that nobody has tried out the this test scenario since that happened. :P So yeah, we need to fix that. In the meantime, yes, droiding side 2 should do the trick for ...

Hi sergey! Thank you very much for all the replays and the comments, and sorry for the slow reply. I'm not around a whiole lot at the moment. One of the common aspects of your (and also singalen's) comments is something I have been fighting with essentially forever: Fred not using units coherently. ...

singalen: thank you for playing and posting all those replays! I'll have to work through them more carefully than I have time for right now, so just a few comments for now: As we discussed off-forum, the first replay is against the ExpAI, not Fred. So that's essentially the default AI (with a few im...
