Download last version there (v33) -> viewtopic.php?p=1194298#p1194298

List of current features for this patch (v33):

a) Maximum no. competitors cap have been raised from 14 to 15. This is useful for multiplayer and dedicated server games.

b) All slots are configurable and visible, regardless of the current value of Maximum no. competitors. This means they're all highlighted in orange text in the AI/Game Script Configuration/Settings window.
b.1) AI slots are identified with its respective Company ID number.
b.2) Status icons may be displayed next to each slot to reflect the current state of a script.
b.2.1) A Warning Sign indicates that a Human Company is, or will be in this slot and that this AI configuration won't be used.
b.2.2) Yellow indicates an eligible AI or GS that is yet to start.
b.2.3) Green indicates an AI or GS script in this slot that started and is alive.
b.2.4) Red indicates an AI or GS script in this slot that started but died.
b.2.5) No Yellow icons are displayed if the value of Maximum no. competitors doesn't allow more AIs to start, or if no GS is configured.
b.3) AIs that started as random are identifiable with a newspaper icon next to the first icon.

c) Note: While in the main menu, slot 1 may be configurable, but beware: when starting a single or multiplayer game, the first company is always human and will start on slot 1. Making slot 1 configurable from gui is especialy useful when setting AIs for multiplayer or dedicated server games.

d) While in a game, depending on the status, some slots in the AI/Game Script Settings window have these additional behaviours:
d.1) Warning sign - Permits AI slot movement up or down. Permits selection of another AI. Displays the "Configure" button. Permits changes to all AI parameters.
d.2) Yellow status - Permits AI slot movement up or down. Permits selection of another AI. Displays the "Configure" button. Permits changes to all AI parameters.
d.3) Green status - Disables AI slot movement up or down. Disables selection of another AI or GS. Displays the "Settings" button. Permits changes to some AI or GS parameters.
d.4) Red status - Disables AI slot movement up or down. Disables selection of another AI or GS. Displays the "Configure" button. Permits changes to all AI or GS parameters.
d.5) No status displayed - Permits AI slot movement up or down. Permits selection of another AI. Displays the "Configure" button. Permits changes to all AI parameters.

e) While a game is running, AIs can be started or stopped from the AI/Game Script Settings window. You may also alter their parameters if you so desire:
e.1) To stop an AI, select the AI from the list, then click Stop AI. Be aware that by doing so, you are removing the AI Company from the game.
e.2) If the current number of running AI companies is less than the maximum number of competitors, you may start an AI on any empty slot by selecting it and clicking Start AI.
e.3) If you are receiving a message telling that you can't start an AI, make sure you are allowing AI competitors in multiplayer games.

f) While hosting a server, AIs or GS are not going to be requested to save their data when a client attempts to join. But should you manually save the game or perform autosaves, AIs or GS are still going to be requested to save their data. This permits scripts that usually take too long to save to be useable while running a server for as long as no autosaves or manual saves are done during the session.

This patch allows up to 15 AIs to be automatically started on dedicated servers by increasing the cap from 14 to 15. This setting can also be configured from the main menu.

v3 r27536:
- All 15 slots are configurable now, regardless of the current value of Maximum no. competitors. This means they're all highlighted as orange.
- During a game, AI slots that started are highlighted as blue, instead of silver. Human occupied slots are still in silver. All other slots are orange.
- In addition, blue slots can be altered from its current AI script to another. To start the newly selected AI, click Reload in the AI Debug window.

To do:
- Switching AI scripts while another is running is buggy, though. Parameters from the newly selected AI will be in conflict with the parameters from the previous AI. I'd like to improve on this.

v2 r27536:
- slot 1 may now be configurable from the main menu.
- Maximum no. competitors setting now affect the entire range of slots, from 1 to 15.
- I'm still not happy about the interaction between the max no. competitors setting. As an example, with this patch, if I set a max of 10 competitors, then start a single player or non-dedicated multiplayer game, the first slot will be immediately taken by a human, but only the first 10 slots were configured from the main menu. The game will still start 10 AI's, the 10th AI taking use of whatever configuration was in the locked 11th slot. Maybe I should just unlock the entire slots, independently of the max no of competitor value.

v1 r27529:
- I'd like to improve the gui window even further, though. It currently doesn't let configure the AI parameters for slot 1 because of the Human player.

v6 r27537
This version attempts to uniform the behaviour and color rules for both AI and GS slots wherever possible.
- Green AI and GS slots can be selectable. The currently selected AI or GS script cannot be altered to another. The currently selected AI or GS script configuration can be opened and, if permitable by the script, its parameters may be altered.
- Red AI and GS slots can be selectable. The currently selected AI script can be altered to another, but the GS script cannot. The currently selected AI or GS script configuration can be opened. All AI parameters can be altered. Permitable GS parameters may be altered.
- The AI configuration window closes itself now whenever an AI company that makes use of that slot configuration starts.

v5 r27537
- Fixed the bug that prevented slot 15 to be edited once an AI died at company 15.
- While a game is running, the game script slot is highligthed in green or red, depending if it's still running or dead.

v4 r27536

Text coloring rules have changed in relation to those in v3:
- Red indicates a company slot started by an AI with its script currently dead. This slot can be edited while a game is running.
- Green indicates a company slot started by an AI with its script currently running. This slot can't be edited while a game is running.
- Silver indicates a company slot started by a Human player. This slot can't be edited while a game is running.
- Orange indicates a company slot that hasn't started. This slot can be edited while a game is running.

bug detected:
- When an AI script dies on slot 15, the slot doesn't become red, nor editable.

Very nice, wish there was a way to get two GS running at the same time, but from what I read is a pipe dream(and my programming skill was last useful in the bronze age).

Here Is a quick 10px high pair of dice sprite you can use to show randomness. This could be used anywhere else the game wants to show something is being randomly selected. Hand drawn, GPL2. I can draw a 20 px high version if people want, but my approach is for stuff like this to prioritize clarity at the smallest size the icon will be displayed at the expense of blockiness at larger zoom.

Problem solved:

[+] Spoiler

I need help to solve this seemingly trivial problem. I've been on this for 3 days and couldn't find a solution so far.

The problem arises from this piece of code:

Code: Select all

	/**
	* Is the AI or GS config in the given slot eligible to start?
	* @param slot The slot to query.
	* @return True if and only if the given AI or GS Config slot can start.
	*/
	static bool IsEligible(CompanyID slot)
	{
		if (slot == OWNER_DEITY) return _game_mode != GM_NORMAL && GameConfig::GetConfig()->GetInfo() != NULL;

		if (Company::IsValidID(slot) || slot < 0) return false;

		int max_slot = GetGameSettings().difficulty.max_no_competitors;
		for (CompanyID cid = COMPANY_FIRST; cid < (CompanyID)max_slot && cid < MAX_COMPANIES; cid++) {
			if (Company::IsValidHumanID(cid)) max_slot++;
		}
		return slot < max_slot;
	}

I am using this function to display in the panel which slots are eligible to start an AI. If they are eligible to start, they will display in a yellow smile in the picture below. If they are not, they won't display the yellow smile.

Xarick Preto Transport, 1950-01-26.png (56.09 KiB) Viewed 10498 times

The green smiles are AI companies that have already started. No matter the value I set to max_no_competitors, the green smiles will stay there, exactly as they are.

I also know that OpenTTD picks the lowest companyID available to start a company everytime it creates a company.

In this screenshot, I know that there's already 6 AI companies running (slots 3-7, 15), 3 Human companies represented by the warning sign (slots 1-2, 14) and 6 free slots (slots 8-13), and that I want a max_no_competitors to be 10. If the function were to be working correctly, it would display 4 yellow smiles, and would display them on the 4 first free slots. In the given example, they would be slots 8-11, but instead it displays 5 yellow smiles.

Slot 12 is in error, it shouldn't have a yellow smile, it should have returned false, because the for cycle in the code did not account for the AI that is present in slot 15. The total sum of green smiles + yellow smiles can't be higher than the max_no_competitors.


So I modified the function to this:

Code: Select all

	/**
	* Is the AI or GS config in the given slot eligible to start?
	* @param slot The slot to query.
	* @return True if and only if the given AI or GS Config slot can start.
	*/
	static bool IsEligible(CompanyID slot)
	{
		if (slot == OWNER_DEITY) return _game_mode != GM_NORMAL && GameConfig::GetConfig()->GetInfo() != NULL;

		if (Company::IsValidID(slot) || slot < 0) return false;

		int total_ais = 0;
		for (CompanyID cid = COMPANY_FIRST; cid < MAX_COMPANIES; cid++) {
			if (Company::IsValidAiID(cid)) total_ais++;
		}

		int max_slot = GetGameSettings().difficulty.max_no_competitors;
		int counted_ais = 0;
		for (CompanyID cid = COMPANY_FIRST; cid < (CompanyID)max_slot && cid < MAX_COMPANIES; cid++) {
			if (Company::IsValidHumanID(cid)) max_slot++;
			if (Company::IsValidAiID(cid)) counted_ais++;
		}
		int uncounted_ais = total_ais - counted_ais;

		return slot < max_slot - uncounted_ais;
	}

First, it knows the total number of AIs (total_ais) before computing max_slot, then while running the for cycle, it counts the number of AIs that have been accounted for (counted_ais) and then it calculates the number of AIs that this for cycle did not account for (uncounted_ais).

Now, when testing the slot that is being queried, it now also takes into account those AIs that haven't been accounted for. This is the result:

Xarick Preto Transport, 1950-01-26#1.png (56.41 KiB) Viewed 10498 times

Everything looks correct now, right? But, there is yet another problem...

Suppose Company 2, which is a Human Company, is deleted, and that I set a max_no_competitors to 4 (or 5, or 6). This happens:

Xarick Preto Transport, 1950-01-26#2.png (53.58 KiB) Viewed 10498 times

In the screenshot, I see that there's still 6 AIs running (green smiles). It is intended behaviour that changing the value of max_no_competitors to 4 won't kill off any currently running companies.

But what's not intended is that yellow smile at slot 2. If there are already 6 companies with AIs, I don't want slot 2 to be an eligible AI slot, until the number of total_ais (which is 6 in this example) drops below the value of max_no_competitors (which is 4).

And this is where I stand currently. I lost 3 days trying to figure a solution for this problem and still got nothing. Please help!

Problem solved:

[+] Spoiler

To try to fix the 2nd problem, I made a change to the return line. The code is now as following:

Code: Select all

	/**
	* Is the AI or GS config in the given slot eligible to start?
	* @param slot The slot to query.
	* @return True if and only if the given AI or GS Config slot can start.
	*/
	static bool IsEligible(CompanyID slot)
	{
		if (slot == OWNER_DEITY) return _game_mode != GM_NORMAL && GameConfig::GetConfig()->GetInfo() != NULL;

		if (Company::IsValidID(slot) || slot < 0) return false;

		int total_ais = 0;
		for (CompanyID cid = COMPANY_FIRST; cid < MAX_COMPANIES; cid++) {
			if (Company::IsValidAiID(cid)) total_ais++;
		}

		int max_slot = GetGameSettings().difficulty.max_no_competitors;
		int counted_ais = 0;
		for (CompanyID cid = COMPANY_FIRST; cid < (CompanyID)max_slot && cid < MAX_COMPANIES; cid++) {
			if (Company::IsValidHumanID(cid)) max_slot++;
			if (Company::IsValidAiID(cid)) counted_ais++;
		}
		int uncounted_ais = total_ais - counted_ais;

		return slot < max_slot - uncounted_ais && total_ais < GetGameSettings().difficulty.max_no_competitors;
	}

It results in this:

Xarick Preto Transport, 1950-01-26#3.png (52.96 KiB) Viewed 10479 times

It looks correct now, and it is working when max_no_competitors is 4, 5 and 6. But it's not over. There's yet a 3rd problem.

Suppose now that Company 1 is also deleted and that I want a max_no_competitors of 7. Here's what it happens:

screenshot#11.png (53.49 KiB) Viewed 10479 times

Slots 1-2 become yellow. It is intended that slot 1 becomes eligible, but not slot 2. The sum of yellow smiles with green smiles must be below or equal to the value of max_no_competitors.

EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED! Thx glx and Alberth. Here's what I've done:

Code: Select all

	/**
	* Is the AI or GS config in the given slot eligible to start?
	* @param slot The slot to query.
	* @return True if and only if the given AI or GS Config of this slot can start.
	*/
	static bool IsEligible(CompanyID slot)
	{
		if (slot == OWNER_DEITY) return _game_mode != GM_NORMAL && GameConfig::GetConfig()->GetInfo() != NULL;

		if (Company::IsValidID(slot) || slot < 0) return false;

		int total_ais = 0;
		for (CompanyID cid = COMPANY_FIRST; cid < MAX_COMPANIES; cid++) {
			if (Company::IsValidAiID(cid)) total_ais++;
		}

		int slots_to_fill = max(GetGameSettings().difficulty.max_no_competitors - total_ais, 0);
		int empty_slot = 0;
		int max_fill = 0;
		for (CompanyID cid = COMPANY_FIRST; cid < MAX_COMPANIES && slots_to_fill > empty_slot; cid++) {
			if (!Company::IsValidID(cid)) empty_slot++;
			max_fill++;
		}

		return slot < max_fill;
	}

So far, these 3 problems are now solved. I've also tested some more different combinations and have yet to find one which would fail.

(38.62 KiB) Downloaded 188 times

v18 r27567:
This patch consists of many bug fixes related to unconventional ways to configure AIs or GSs, like via Scenario Editor. It also adds a new feature.
- When selecting from a list of available AI scripts, a newspaper icon is displayed next to those that can be used as random. What this means is, should you prefer to let OpenTTD to randomly pick an AI to start, now you know which ones from the list of available AIs could be picked. It is merely informative and doesn't affect the choice in any way.
- When there's no Game Script running while in a game, its slot in the AI/Game Script Settings window can now be selected. Silver text is thus, eliminated, to further reinforce simplification.
- Fixed the checking conditions for the eligibility of a Game Script while in the different game modes (main menu, scenario editor, in-game).
- Fixed many checking conditions which were missing when in the AI/GS Parameters window, while in the Scenario Editor, related to clicking and displaying (reset button, increase/decrease buttons, on/off buttons, dropdown lists, text box queries).
- Additionaly added checking conditions which were missing when double clicking on slots in the AI/Game Script settings window. Their omission was allowing the Available AIs/GSs window to be accessed regardless of their current state.
- Fixed the checking conditions for the disableness state of the Select AI/Game Script button in the AI/Game Script Configuration/Settings window, in the different game modes (main menu, scenario editor, in-game).
- While in the Scenario Editor, the AI/Gamescript Parameters window no longer closes itself when closing the AI/Game Script Settings window.
- Reverted a change regarding the name of AI/Game Script Configuration/Settings window while in the Scenario Editor, to AI/Game Script Settings.
- Fixed a bug in the calculation of the height of the image icons that are displayed, and removed the need to calculate the size of certain icons that were sure to never be displayed.
- Fixed a bug which was allowing the Settings button of a Game Script without any configurable parameters to be clicked and accessed via AI/Game Script Debug window.
- Fixed the checking conditions for displaying either the Configure or the Settings button for both AI/Game Script Settings and AI/Game Script Debug windows, in the different game modes (main menu, scenario editor, in-game).

- Clicking Accept button in the Available AIs window now removes the dead AI Company from the slot that is being changed. This prevents confusion between the dead AI and the newly selected AI Parameters.
- When the setting gui.ai_developer_tools is set to false, switching from a Company to another in the AI/Game Script Debug window no longer closes the AI Parameters window.


To do:
- Use the Dice.png provived by Supermop reflecting a random ai script to replace the newspaper icon.
- Find a better icon reflecting the presence of a Human Company to replace the warning sign icon.
- Use the random ai icon in the AI/Debug window.
- Get rid of unused string STR_AI_CONFIG_HUMAN_PLAYER.
- (maybe) Move configs with drag and drop on movable slots and if so, get rid of Move Up, Move Down buttons.

v24 r27586:
Further improved the workaround implemented in v23 to make OpenTTD search for available scripts more thoroughly for the cases of loading savegames with the script name stored with the version appended to it:
- It takes that into account when deciding which installed version of the script to load, and if necessary, it updates the name of the script should the version that is found isn't matching the version which created the savegame.
- In the cases where the saved version is higher than the versions installed, it no longer resorts to loading a randomly installed script. Instead, it will load the latest available version of the same script, and discards the saved data.


To do:
- Use the Dice.png provived by Supermop reflecting a random ai script to replace the newspaper icon.
- Find a better icon reflecting the presence of a Human Company to replace the warning sign icon.
- Use the random ai icon in the AI/Debug window.
- Find a way to distinguish old configured dead AI script Parameters from newly selected AI script Parameters for the same company id, in the AI/Game Script Settings and/or AI/Game Script Debug windows.
- Get rid of unused string STR_AI_CONFIG_HUMAN_PLAYER.
- (maybe) Move configs with drag and drop on movable slots and if so, get rid of Move Up, Move Down buttons.
- (maybe) Add a Start Now button or re-use Reload AI for the same functionality, in the AI/Game Script Settings window.

v23 r27582:
- Reverted the fix implemented in v22, because it is possible that it's intended for savegames to store the name of the AI with the version appended to it. Instead, this patch tries to implement a workaround that allows OpenTTD to load savegames with the AI name stored in this manner so that the exact version of the script is loaded as the version it was started with when it was saved, instead of loading the most up to date and compatible version of the same script. The patch attempts to follow the documentation provided here: https://noai.openttd.org/docs/trunk/cla ... l#_details


To do:
- Use the Dice.png provived by Supermop reflecting a random ai script to replace the newspaper icon.
- Find a better icon reflecting the presence of a Human Company to replace the warning sign icon.
- Use the random ai icon in the AI/Debug window.
- Find a way to distinguish old configured dead AI script Parameters from newly selected AI script Parameters for the same company id, in the AI/Game Script Settings and/or AI/Game Script Debug windows.
- Get rid of unused string STR_AI_CONFIG_HUMAN_PLAYER.
- (maybe) Move configs with drag and drop on movable slots and if so, get rid of Move Up, Move Down buttons.
- (maybe) Add a Start Now button or re-use Reload AI for the same functionality, in the AI/Game Script Settings window.

v27 r27597:
This patch reverts some of the functionality added related to reloading AIs and interaction with dead AI Companies. These changes are needed to avoid unwanted/accidental removal of dead AIs while interacting with the slots.

v26 r27595:
- Fixed a bug which was causing the arrows that modify the value Maximum no. competitors to have their enable or disable state in an incorrect state while on multiplayer games.
- Improved Move Up and Move Down behaviours. It now swaps with the first available free slot or an AI owned Company which script is dead. If it is swaping between dead AIs, their companies are also removed in the process.

(68.7 KiB) Downloaded 166 times

v29 r27597:
This version attempts to improve windows management and tries to close them only when necessary. Also, when random AI companies are removed or bankrupt, the slot names of where they initially started revert back to "(random)".
- When a random AI starts, its AI Parameters window is closed, instead of closing it everytime any AI starts.
- When a random AI company is removed, the View readme, Changelog or License windows is closed, without regards to how it was open. This needs to be done some other way, but for now it's done like this to avoid a possible OpenTTD crash related to random AI slots that don't have any of these windows.
- When clicking Accept from the list of Available AIs/Game Scripts, the AI/Game Script Parameters window will only close if the slot which is having its script changed is the same as that of this window, instead of closing it everytime the script is changed regardless of slot.
- The Reset button from the AI Parameters window now enables and disables itself properly when a non-random AI company starts or is removed.
- Clicking on Configure/Settings from the AI/Game Script Configuration/Settings window no longer closes the Available AIs/Game Scripts window.
- When in the Scenario Editor, the Configure/Settings from the AI/Game Script Settings window is no longer accessible if there are AI Companies and/or a Game Script instances present.
- Some other code improvements.
