Dota Ai 6.51

Friday, February 29th, 2008

I’m not posting Dota Ai 6.50 because of the bugs.. Even the original Dota 6.50 had bugs so I’m skipping..

Dota 6.51 Ai map is again done by BuffMePlZ .. Quoting

After spending about 14 hours programming last night, I think the first revision for this port is finally done. As far as I know, all of the new hero/item content is in and works fine for both humans and AI (yes, AI Visage and Drow and PA get their new abilities and they work). New item recipes work as expected, and AI has been modified to get the proper items in order to build them (Eul’s, Guinsoo’s, Battle Fury).

Fun tavern is still in, though it looks different. Deal with it. Currently contains Old Invoker, Old Lifestealer, Old Silencer, and Gambler. Maybe adding more later, they actually don’t increase map size as much as everybody thinks they do (except for Gambler, since he has his own special buttons that I needed to add).

Assists work, singledraft works, -clear and -courier work, new creep camps work, bottles work, Invoker works…things work. Most of them, anyway.

Things that DON’T work:
-ah (why would you be hacking on an AI map anyway?)
-apm
-afk
-kickafk
-swapall (will do this one later, I don’t feel like it right now)

Some bugs that were addressed with Last Word going off on various spells have not been addressed yet as of this revision. I’ll do it later.

New Impale code works fine, but I haven’t addressed the issues with new Impale + Omnislash/Voodoo Restoration. Also to be done later.

Eclipse still ministuns. I’ll address that later. It does properly level up with Lucent Beam now though.

I haven’t disabled -unstuck, since I find it to be useful.

I’ve changed the hero selection code a bit so (in theory) the AI should never pick Lanaya, Nai’x, or Kael. You can, of course, force the AI to pick these heroes but they won’t do anything and will probably be easy to kill. Except for Lanaya, who will probably kill your game. Note that this is only for modes in which the computer picks, so using -ar or -tr may still cause them to pick these heroes.

Post bug reports here. I probably won’t be doing anything on this map for at least another two weeks after my programming splurge, so hopefully this should be good enough for a while. Unless somebody finds something COMPLETELY gamebreaking…in which case then I might do something about it sooner.

Will fix aforementioned bugs in Revision 2, along with whatever you guys report. Might add Old Morphling to Fun Tavern, or whoever else people might want to see. But not all the old heroes, that’s ridiculous and will take more time than I have ever. =P

Enjoy.

So there you go, download and play Dota 6.51 ai instead of Dota Ai 6.50 with the perception of playing with less bugs :)

Kudos to BuffMePlz! again for creating this map.

Dota 6.49 AI Download

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Dota 6.49 AINew Dota Ai maps come often but this DotA 6.49c AI has something different :D – Yup, the known Dota hero Gambler is back in it along with Invoker, Old Silencer and Naix.

As Far as I remember, I used to play Gambler a lot and mostly his skills were based on luck :)

Dota 6.49 Ai map Description:

Power Treads now properly update on Meepo-Fixed Dark Rift-Changed the way AI dummy caster units work to prevent computer from controlling them -Added Gambler to the fun tavern.-Reduced lag
Yeah, so I spent the long weekend porting lazyfiend’s latest AI to the most recent version of DotA. Hopefully this will allow many of you who have been wanting to play the newest version of the map with some very well programmed bots.

I’ve imported all of the 6.49c content to the best of my ability, and have updated the AI bots so that they properly get Power Treads (the Agility version, it makes it easier), Vladmir’s Offering, and Monkey King Bar, since the latest version changed the way these items were built. Aside from that, the AI has been unchanged, so it’s still prone to any bugs that may have existed in the 6.48b version.

The AI probably has no means of determining how to play the new N’aix, and I didn’t try to make it do something with it. Fortunately RGB did add a way to force the computer players to repick if necessary, so be sure to utilise it if they pick N’aix. Additionally, the AI will not try to get Orchid’s Malevolence or Shiva’s Guard, so if you’re trying to figure out how to counter builds with these items, you’re out of luck unless you play online.

Aside from that, I’ve added a little something special for everyone, but I’ll let you see that for yourself. It’s the product of a long project that got me into playing around with JASS and these maps in the first place. Just type in “-fun” to access the Fun Tavern and see for yourself.
Remember, that’s

-fun

This is still AI+ version 1.52 because I’m not presumptuous enough to claim that I’ve actually updated anything. I just wanted to share this with the community because I feel like it’s something that everybody can use/want, and maybe to stop all the messaging to lazyfiend for a 6.49c AI+ map.

So have fun and enjoy. If I do make any updates it will just be to the Fun Tavern, or to bugs specific to this version.

Thanks to lazyfiend for his hard work on this AI.

Cheers.

Rev. 02: Fixed the texture on Templar Assassin’s Psionic Traps, they should show up properly now.

Rev. 03: Fixed the infinite bottle bug.

Rev. 04: Fixed the dummy unit casting bug (hopefully), Siege Golems when using supercreeps, and picking from the Fun Tavern when -fun is not activated.

Rev. 05: Zeus’s ult works, tree model restored, other tooltips corrected. AI Earthshaker now properly uses Fissure. Fixed bug with Bottled Runes. Added Old Silencer to Fun Tavern.

Rev. 06: Fixed Juxtapose and Doppelwalk.

Rev. 07:
-Power Treads now properly update on Meepo
-Fixed Dark Rift
-Changed the way AI dummy caster units work to prevent computer from controlling them and unnecessarily casting things they ought not to, which will hopefully fix the self-destructing AI problem.
-Added Gambler to the fun tavern.
-Reduced load and lag time on the map overall (I hope)
