Steamhammer 0.1 download

Want to run Steamhammer 0.1 yourself? Here is Steamhammer’s zip file as I uploaded it to SSCAIT. The contents are:

Steamhammer.dll
Steamhammer_Config.json
BWAPI.dll

Steamhammer needs the config file and expects it at the path bwapi-data/AI/Steamhammer_Config.json. The BWAPI version is 4.1.2.

The config file system was inherited from UAlbertaBot (I made minor changes). The config file is easy to read and modify, and fun to play around with. Besides the active build orders and other config settings, it includes a few leftover build orders from UAlbertaBot plus build order experiments that I tried or meant to get around to trying. Items at the top of the “Strategy” section declare which build orders are active. In my view, the current ZvZ and ZvT build orders are adequate, the ZvP build order is poor but an interesting try, and the ZvRandom build order is awful.

Expect Steamhammer 0.2 in time for the SSCAIT tournament. It will have some surprises.

Around this weekend, Steamhammer will get its own web page where I’ll post new versions in source and binary as they come out.

Hey! Cool bot! I've managed to run it locally, but it seems to produce too few drones and hence is not able to afford to train many mutalisks later... Perhaps a flaw in the BO?

Not a flaw, a tradeoff. :-) It’s an old school build order that has to do damage fast. I could say that macro games are harder to play, but mainly I wanted something different than other bots.

Also, no recent posts, so I guess you've been busy getting the bot in shape for SSCAIT? :)
