Steamhammer AIIDE 2017 version

You can download the archive I submitted to AIIDE 2017, which is Steamhammer 1.3.1. It follows the AIIDE rules: It includes a compiled binary, the configuration file, and source. Unlike an SSCAIT submission, it does not include the BWAPI 4.1.2 library.

The configuration file is specialized for the tournament. The terran and protoss opening lines are removed, and it is intended to play zerg only. I did all my testing with zerg, and mostly on the AIIDE maps. Everything is optimized for the best AIIDE performance, at the expense of anything else.

Next is Steamhammer 1.3.2 for SSCAIT. It will restore the terran and protoss configuration. I also made a minor change that should improve devourer play (at least a little), and may make a few other small fixes. I need to test that protoss and terran are working well. It shouldn’t take more than a day or two, and then I’ll be right back on opponent modeling.

Jay - I'd like to contribute the Protoss builds in the Protoss only child of steamhammer I've been running back to the base to increase its strength / give more options and variety. All the added builds added are directly off of teamliquid.net. Likely worth 75-100 ELO over the base Protoss configuration with no opponent specific builds what so ever used. Probably another 50 or more there to be found with enemy specific builds or learning. Hopefully this can assist development and make randomhammer stronger in the future.

Thanks! Whether I put the openings and weights into Steamhammer’s configuration or distribute them separately, I’ll figure out a way that people can use them easily.
