Steamhammer 2.3.1 uploaded

I’ve uploaded Steamhammer 2.3.1 to SSCAIT. It is a test version to smoke out any major new bugs before AIIDE. Opponents that tune against Steamhammer will be able to test against a near-final version, but if I catch an important bug that will more than make up for it.

This version sometimes makes one queen, and knows how to parasite and infest. That’s the only difference that a casual watcher will notice. (In the stream you’ll be able to see the extra vision from parasited enemy units, but the OpenBW player does not show fog of war.) I put in a wide variety of smaller bug fixes and improvements, though unless you watch closely you may not detect them. The improvements tend to make Steamhammer’s behavior more complex, and I foresee a high chance of surprises.

No detailed change list until after tournament submission. It’s not all that short.

Glad to see you back in the saddle! Hope things are going well on the home front.

Glad to have you back. I hope things are getting better (even if slowly - I know too well it takes time).

I don't know if you have seen the new graphs on BASIL for bots:

Steamhammer really is a monster. Only Protoss seems to be a weakness. Maybe it can be explained by the fact that 5 of the top 10 are toss.

Good luck with AIIDE (to all authors of course, maybe I will find the time to really continue on mine... and enter too at some point)
