DotA 6.73c AI Status again

2012-02-01T02:42:00.000-08:00

Hello.
Here is what Green_Sliche wrote about the map developing process:

6.73c content is ported completely, we even made new loading screen and ofcourse map already has new codename. What it is? It's a secret, but it fits new map perfectly.

Right now we test new item build system wich supposed to be broken itembuild-free and simpler than old one. As you can guess new item builds are comming, aswell as new items for AI and even more.

Overally we plan to add and tweak many things ( such as dodge mech and gank system ) so this version will take a while, but I'm sure this one will be even more special than all previous AI maps combined.

All the heroes need item builds made up for the new item system. I`m planning to overhaul Invoker`s AI too... as it got nerfed versions ago and he needs new combos, skill builds and maybe items. That is from us now. Patience is a virtue.

DotA v6.72f AI 1.0 "NIGHTMARE"

2011-10-23T07:53:00.000-07:00

Greetings! Welcome to the latest official AI DotA custom map.

NIGHTMARE ... massive official map changes, too many broken skills, too many systems completely rewritten, too much caffeine, too many new AI heroes added... This map was an equal nightmare and a new hope for a better times. We should all thank the AITeam and Cloud_str for devoting those months so you all can enjoy that fine map. In some words the biggest changes are: -captains mode active (AI will pick and ban), all heroes got AI now, completely rewritten defense mechanism, item buying system, new gank system and so many other changes... that you`ll have to read the whole changelog to find them.. although many of the changes are invisible for you but they are in the code.. believe me And again: thank Cloud_str for all that as i was away most of the time and the AITeam testers who endured all those painful testing hours! They deserve it!
What is AI 1.0 - we plan to release a more BMP style incremental releases which will include only AI code changes. We will change only the AI numbers in those incremental revisions.

Enjoy DotA v6.72f AI, codenamed NIGHTMARE!

DotA 6.72f AI release delayed

2011-10-16T03:28:00.000-07:00

Hello, again.
We discussed the release with Cloud_str and we came to conclusion that we need a little more developing time. During that time, many heroes will get their long anticipated AI, so i guess at the end the long waiting will be rewarded.
Basically the good news outbid the bad news of the delay: we get more AI for the heroes, bugs get fixed and skill usages get refined. Cloud_Str is a coding machine :) and every dev day means new amazing things and possibilities in the DotA AI world. Stay tuned... the release is definitely coming!!!

Hi, guys. Long time no see. If things work out good we may release the map next week. Loads of things changed, so more incremental releases may follow in short time with bugfixes and new AI additions.

Dota 6.72 AI status update

2011-08-08T01:08:00.000-07:00

Hello.
It has been a long summer full of work and some vacations with my family. Work on the script progresses slowly as all of the coding members of the AITeam are busy with RL. But it progresses :) By looking at the list with pending changes, porting 6.72 is somewhat needing one final and dedicated blow to finish. I fixed Invoker`s AI last week and it is working good. The other broken AIs will feel the love too after we finish porting the script.

Sooo, we are still here and kicking :)

DotA v6.71b AI "VENGEANCE"

2011-06-25T14:26:00.000-07:00

Greetings! Welcome to the latest official AI DotA custom map.

VENGEANCE ... REVENGE, COMEBACK. Those are the feelings which a poor, pwned AI soul feels while his spirit fades out, slowly in the breezing air. Now the time has come, to stand for all they believe in. The new dynamic exp/gold mode is ON. The pwned AI players will get exp and gold bonuses which will bring back their might and get them a second chance to finish the game with honor. Here, I devote this release to the name: VENGEANCE... feel the wrath of the poor scripted souls.

CHANGELOG
==============

MAP CODE

1. All the data from 6.71/6.71b changelist at the official DotA website. Too long to paste it all here.

AI CHANGES

1. New Dynamic Exp/Dynamic Gold mode. Here are some explanations how it works:
AI have bonus rate in XP and GOLD. Human rate is 100% XP and 1 GOLD / 0.875s (8G / 7s). AI rate is higher than that.

So, when AI hero kills, he gets -15% xp, and -4G/7s (from current bonus rate) and if the current rate is higher than the starting rate, it resets to starting rate

When AI hero dies, he gets + 15% xp, and +4G/7s (to current bonus rate), if current rate is lower than starting rate, it resets to starting rate

When AI hero gets an assist, he gets -7% xp and -2G/7s (from current bonus rate)

Min rate for AI is human rate (it won't get lower than that), there is no max rate

2. Two new sections in the scoreboard showing the current AI XP and GOLD rate. There might be up to 2.5s delay in scoreboard update for the rate

3. De/Dg mode is enabled by default, unless ne/ng is enabled

4. Various internal fixes. The big job for fixing the broken AI for 6.72 will begin soon.

Some thoughts

2011-06-10T05:44:00.000-07:00

Here is a status update. I started reviewing the changes which AITeam made while i was gone.
It seems that 6.71b is ready for a release apart from some AI corrections on my part... which i`ll have to do in the next days or next week.

On 6.72... most things are ported... really nice progress. I have to do some verification process but tests are showing fine results.
There is a new AI gold/exp system in the works which will make those pwnage AIs less rewarded and the underachievers getting back in game.
So i`m planning on 6.71b release, then 6.72a with pwnage Slark and then maybe 6.72c.
6.72a and c will have 2 versions (with and without dynamic exp/gold).
Those are my plans... for now. They may change if something unexpected happens.

I`m back!

2011-05-31T10:27:00.000-07:00

Hello, again.
I`ve been busy for some time with a lot of work but now i`m kinda free for some time. I`m going to work hard to release 6.71&6.72
The AITeam did a great job while i was away.. i tried to concentrate on my work so i can finish it faster and get some time for the AI.
So, expect some news in the near future. Stay put :)

DotA 6.72 AI (news and woes)

2011-04-28T03:43:00.000-07:00

Well, 6.72 is out... by the first look GREAT changes gameplay-wise... but AI wise... half the heroes get broken... some of them become useless. Loads of work on porting and then fixing the AI heroes... and you can bet that the changes port will be a breeze compared to fixing the AI.
So.. the plan is-> 6.71b AI release first and then 6.72(x). But i`m not happy with the amount of work needed for 6.72 AI release. It wont happen soon too.

Also the new hero: Rubick... as i`m reading his skills, i think that i can make him an Invoker v2.0. In my mind some scenarios emmerge: you release a stun projectile to Rubick... he steals the stun and releases a stun to u just before he gets stunned... so u both are stunned at the same time... just he`ll get out of stun before you :) neat!

Well i tried to do some good for Phoenix, but i just don`t feel the love for him :) I have the feeling he will not be decent AI player. Although he is coded to do some good moves... i don`t have the urge to make him better. Maybe another time, another day i`ll change my mind.

Treant`s Natures Guise and crashes

2011-04-08T03:11:00.000-07:00

It is now confirmed that a human player Treant skill: Natures Guise crashes 100% the game. It is like the many crashing skills which were slightly rewritten for AI map likeness. But so you know.. don`t use the skill when playing... i`m not sure about AI Treant tho. Skill should be fixed for next version... OH and i`m now working on an old pwnage hero who got 2 skills remade and went into the trash bin. I hope he soon _greatbashes_ your heads to the oblivion :)) hohoho
Take care.

Hi, guys. I spent the day tweaking Invoker some more. He`ll probably has better retreating behavior and a little better early harassing. Also he has 3 item builds now... he is such an awesome hero :)
I decided to make an Invoker orgy (-sh) and things got ugly :)
Enjoy! :)

DotA Allstars 6.70c AI Test, Tuskarr

2011-03-30T18:23:00.000-07:00

Here you can see my first tests of Tuskarr`s basic AI. He is doing very good despite the rough code.

His Walrus Punch was a big problem because it crashed the game 100% when used. We tried to fix it but the skill is rewritten and you may experience bugs (extra critical hits) with it. Either rewritten or 100% crash on use. Some of the skills are just not AI map compatible. Some of them are Kunkka`s Tidebringer, Storm Spirit`s Overload and etc.

DotA 6.70c AI news and Invoker`s AI Feedback

2011-03-28T00:56:00.000-07:00

Great news, we began working on 6.70c AI with IceFrog`s blessing. Things are going smooth... i can say smoother than ever. Here is my first test of the 2 new imported heroes: Phoenix and Tuskarr.

They still lack item and skills builds, but we will fix that. I can`t promise full AI for both of them but let`s say i`ll try to make at least the one having AI. Also i want to work on some old heroes and more items to be usable by the AI.

Speaking of AI... i`m very glad of the feedback i`m getting about Invoker`s AI. I`ll continue tweaking his reactions and hopefully he`ll be even better in the next releases. Some day he might have different skill builds, item builds and skills combos corresponding to his builds. It`s a complex system with a very fragile balance.. and one must be very careful to not disturb the equilibrium (great movie btw). Here some quotes:

I love that classic Blast/Meteor combo, and also the Tornado/SStrike combo.
I was chasing him once with Pudge when he was at about 100 hp and then I was like "Shit, the fucker Ghost Walks too." Tried to hook him but I don't use low dodge mode, so I failed.

But the most impressive is his APM. My laning APM is quite high, but from mid-game, it drops to between 90 and 110. That Invoker had close to 150 and, most importantly, he changes his balls at hyper speed without ever having to stop. That was quite impressive.

I have to say, I was not disappointed. He's a great team player and he's pretty decent. One of the best AI laners in the game right now. He was my ally and solo mid and, by 6 mins, my cs was 27/7 and his was 26/9. I raged.

Well, he was farming about 45 mins in a game and he was ganked by a Balanar, Luna, KotL and Venge.
He ultra-killed them. Blast/Meteor then Tornado while he Manta Styled and auto-attacked the four of them. His Linkens apparently saved him from being silenced by Balanar. I believed he used his Alacrity afterwards. Can't remember.

It took me about thirty seconds to gather my shit. I just realized I should have taken a screenshot.

PBMN, well done man.
