AIAI

[Kogut]

Thanks for good news!
Here is new fix for gamma version:
- never service the same industry using truck and plane
- credits for reused code
- fixed company name bug

[Zuu]

Thanks for the credits. I took a look, and I wonder why do you have a copy of ItemValuator in your KRAI_level_crossing_menagement_from_clueless_plus.nut? Why not use the one in SuperLib.Helper? I see you have already imported SuperLib.Helper, .Direction and .Tile even if I can't see that you have used any of those functions in your own code.

[Kogut]

I will fix it next version, probably I copied valuator and later also included library. Library is (so far) for level crossing menagement only.

[Kogut]

Fixed, together with spam of debug signs.

AIAI uploaded to BaNaNaS!

A quick bug report for you. Not sure what caused this crash. Playing in OpenTTD 1.0.0 with two other AIs (NoCAB and StreetCars). Medium difficulty, temperate mat 256x512. Windows Vista 32 bit.

Crash!

[Kogut]

Fixed, your game will be OK after save & load. (But it can break other AIs).

EDIT: Bananas updated, why download counter is now 0?
EDIT: Problem caused by AIVehicle.sth instead of AIError.sth.
EDIT: Thanks for bug report.

[donchatryit]

Thanks Kogut. Will the update be on BaNaNAS?

[Kogut]

Already updated

[donchatryit]

Ta.

EDIT: Bananas updated, why download counter is now 0?

Because it shows the number of downloads of the last version. In the manage page you can see the number of downloads of each version of your AI(s).

Delta version
- busses (with dynamic full load menagement)
- better airports (use more airpots types, more than one airport in cities etc)
- recoded vital part of truck part

Hey Kogut,

Your AI is really shaping up well! Just found a bug you want to look at while testing it:

[Kogut]

I see no reason why AIIndustryType.GetProducedCargo(AIIndustry.GetIndustryType(ID)) returned null, but I fixed it.

[Zuu]

Hmm,

I actually don't know if there is a policy in the API to always return empty lists over returning null, but I would certainly check this issue with Yexo. If it is intended behaviour, perhaps that's something that should be added to the documentation:

I discovered that it happened when function is stuffed with incorect ID. (Stupid industry closed itself at wrong time)

[Steffl]

Haha, your AIAI thinks it is General Motors.

It's fun to watch your AI fighting against getting bankrupt. Nice work Kogut

[Kogut]

Maybe in future that text will be rather useless. I see that it is high speed train era, rather but time for truck only AI.

So is the delta2 the latest version or is the gamma4 the latest? As well, is there any way for someone (such as myself) with little to no programming experience to be able to get into these AI's and use them to learn and build onto, or is it a little too complicated to jump into, if so does anyone know any good websites or such that are good to learn at?

[Zuu]

At http://wiki.openttd.org/AI:Main_Page you can get information about AI writing for OpenTTD. This is recommended if you feel like getting into how AIs are programmed.

From your question it seemed that you are also new to programming? If that's the case I'd suggest to learn programming by for example starting out with python, C++ or any other language. Opt for a commonly used language to start with, as there are more tutorials and easier to find books for that language. You should probably at least write a few not too simple applications before getting into AIs.

The problem with the OpenTTD AIs for programmer newbies is that the language used (Squirrel) only has a reference document, no tutorial that holds your hand and teach you how to program. Most of the documentation for Squirrel and NoAI is oriented towards people who already know how to program, and only need to learn the details regarding Squirrel and the NoAI API.
