Hey folks, you might notice we have some new affiliates.
Also ive updated some of the site pages (FAQ, Credits, Gameplay) to reflect the new version of ROTG.
Also you may note that ive retired ROTG Lite, its simply too far behind the full version and cannto incorperate all the new features without increasing the filesize which defeats the lite versions purpose.

I have identified one cause of the ai freezes and its related to the titan cinematics.
A temporary solution is to disable them, or if teh ai freezes go into the menu ("Z"), disable it then renable it. This should get it working again with 3 or 4 seconds or so.
Soon i'll do a hotfix version that addresses this and some other minor problems.
Any suggestions let me know.

 Warcraft 1.24d AI freezing issues |

10 Feb, 2010 - 7:42 PM - by Steelb_l_ade

Hey guys, quite a few people have reported issues with the AI freezing but as of yet have not provided many details on what may cause it, it seems to be random but only present in the teamplay mode.
Today I found some intresting news on THW regarding a bnet hack that was around lately:
"The crash worked by abusing the finite stack size that the WC3 main thread had. Many people who map WC3 probably have noticed how triggers can only execute so much code in one batch before the execution stops whether or not the end of the code was reached. Getting too many operations to run at once will result in WC3 hitting its stack size limit and so prevent any further execution of actions.
The glitch that the hackers used to crash players was simply getting a unit to execute an order with a non positional exit and then que up approximately 10000 invalid build orders which will collapse instantly and so hit the... [Read More]

| Continued AI development |

Hey folks,
I have created a working prototype for the AI in both duel mode and teamplay mode now and it does actually play both the games to a half-way acceptable level.
I am now moving into resolving the bugs, testing the systems, making it smarter and so on.
The problem is, the "smarter" you make the AI, the more code required, and the greater lag it will generate.
That said the AI at the moment is not exactly basic, it will not only buy items, but each hero has their favourites and the buying order is not fixed, 1 time a hero might buy a few mercs, a hammer and so on, another time it might buy a perminant item, or perhaps an upgrade for it(!)
The AI now also reacts to friends under attack, and to a limited extent, the Ritual game.

 Artificial Intelligence! |

Hello everyone, thought i'd let you know im actively developing AI for ROTG.
This will mean you will be able to play games of ROTG in both teamplay and duelling mode solo with all computer players.
It will also mean the AI can take over from leavers in both modes.
Options will also exist to disable/enable the AI for your team if you prefer to manually control the leaver heroes and get their resources channeled to your human players instead.
This is obviously quite a major change and hopefully will come off. While not being as smart as human players ironically the AI actually plays better than humans in duel mode and at least it dosn't quit.
