This repo serves as the submission base for the Winter AI War. To enter, create a PR creating a folder with your IGN (In Game Name) using the files in the "base submission" folder found here. Alternatively, you may contact me via discord (hellaratsastaja) and submit files that way.
-
You may have up to 3 AI configs for your team. Specify your setup using a teaminfo.md created in your submission folder.
-
Please keep your AI testing games public and accept any AI trainers in your room. Designate your test games as "[T] AI Testing". This isn't strictly required, but the goal is to have information symmetry.
-
You may challenge other trainers to an AI Duel during testing or peak into their games for intel gathering. You may also metagame through the github files here.
-
You may not create separate configurations per match!
-
There will be exhibition matches (unranked) every 2 weeks. Please have your files ready by then. PRs will be approved as they can be.
-
Your submission may not use LOS Cheats.
-
You will be ranked in the finals based on your wins and losses:
Win: +2pts ✔️ Loss: -1 pt. ❌ Draw (match goes beyond 45:00) : 0pts for both teams. 🏳️
-
Each team will fight in 2 matches Round Robbin style. In addition, each team will fight against Brutal AI and FWBrutal twice.
- Copy the base files of the game of your choice to
Zero-K/AI/Skirmish
. If you're playing future wars, create two (if you do not have FWBrutal already). You should have a folder like this:Zero-K/AI/Skirmish/MyAIName/stable
- Rename the folder to whatever you'd like. I don't think spaces work, but whatever?
- Update the AIInfo.lua's
shortName
field to match the folder name. - Create
devmode
as a text file in your Zero-K folder. - Disable
Simplified AI List
in the Zero-K Lobby Settings under theDeveloper
tab. - You're ready to go! Everything you'll probably want to change is in
/config
.
You'll need to create a PR here or give me the files via discord. Every 2 weeks, we will have an exhibition match, be sure you have your files up to date as this will provide you with good testing to see where you stand!
Deadline for submissions: December 30th! Have fun. Feel free to join #Modding or #AI to collaborate and ask questions.
Good luck, have fun.
