[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #2143] [RFC] AI interface using lua
Follow-up Comment #2, patch #2143 (project freeciv): It sounds a good idea. But, we probably need to decide about what we want to do: AI at server side in C, AI at server side lua scripted or AI client side. As I understand patch #1785 or patch #1846, we were going to a server side AI... I do not consider client side AI an option. As discussed somethere (I did not find the source), the AI is coupled to the knowledge of the server which will not be available in the client. Thus, a client side AI would never be as good as a server side AI. Furthermore, there should be distinguished between AI and advisors. The AI belongs into the server but advisors for the player (as in 'small helper script') could be part of the client. They would use only the players knowledge. About the language to use for server side AI, this ticket is the place to discuss it. A lua implementation would allow to (easily?) save the AI state similar as done for the server lua script. patch #1785 is at the moment on hold. I have to revise the patches to the current state of trunk. patch #1846 would be of interest to speed up the AI. I think, one lua state for each AI would help here (i.e. one lua state could be assigned to one thread?). Short summary of some comments to this toppic I found using google: The second problem is that, provided the AI feature is client-side in a client-server game, those who have the better AI scripts or AI code will gain a substantial advantage. This is particularly the case in multiplayer games that use a timeout timer to end turns. The unofficial Freeciv 'warclient' gives players mass control over units and is a substantial aid in timeout games. While some may find this (writing their own AI-aid code) a challenge on its own, it is inherently unfair and detracts focus from the core game concepts.

[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #2115] [fcdb] redo lua script
Follow-up Comment #3, patch #2115 (project freeciv): As discussed previously in bug #15587, and according the comment in api.pkg, are you sure the interface is still compatible with the current one? (notably with the new ways for doing logs...) Yes, all functions currently implemented will still work. For the logging, wrapper functions are implemented. The new style is similar to the functions calls in the C code (C: log_normal(); lua: log.normal()). ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/patch/?2115 ___ Nachricht geschickt von/durch Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #2, patch #2121 (project freeciv): Why does it requires auth support enabled? Because I did use the longturn usage as example and guideline? Yea, it could be done entirely in the server without an external database ... I will have to think about this.

[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #14515] Behaviour of hydro/nuclear/solar plants etc doesn't match documentation
Follow-up Comment #11, bug #14515 (project freeciv): (This would be easier to express in the ruleset if the effects system could combine numbers in more ways than just addition, such as min() and max(). But that's probably a separate bug.) Perhaps an additional field could be added to the effects definition. It could define how the numbers should be combined. But this raises the problem of the order of the effects, i.e [effect_test1] name = test operation = ADD value = 16 [effect_test2] name = test operation = MIN value = 20 [effect_test3] name = test operation = DIV value = 2 depending on the order this could result in min((0 + 16), 20) / 2 = 8 min(0, 20) / 2 + 16 = 26 min((0 / 2), 20) + 16 = 36 ...

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #14515 (project freeciv): perhaps an additional 'priority' flag could be used? On ruleset load there must be a check that for each effect no priority is duplicated.

Step to patch #1303. FEATURES: * Added int pf_map_move_cost(struct pf_map *, struct tile *). * Direction (-1) is a macro: PF_DIR_NONE. * Use minimal size for the nodes (e.g. pf_normal_node size was 20 bytes, it is now 16 bytes). * Changed when NS_PROCESSED is assigned, and simplified tests to know if a tile reachable. (Now, the node status is NS_PROCESSED or NS_WAITING, the tile iterator test is not needed anymore.) * pf_danger_map_iterate_until() and pf_fuel_map_iterate_until() are slightly improved. * Merged function comments from path_finding.h to path_finding.c * Full review of the documentation. Numerous comments added about how it works. NAME CHANGES: * Macros pf_map_iterate_* and pf_map_iterate_*_end renamed to pf_map_*_iterate and pf_map_*_iterate_end to be closer to the most iterating macros. * pf_map_get_*() renamed to pf_map_*(). * pf_map_iterator_get_*() renamed to pf_map_iter_*(). * pf_path_get_last_position() renamed to pf_path_last_position(). * pf_city_map_get_move_cost() renamed to pf_city_map_move_cost(). ___ File Attachments: --- Date: dimanche 31.10.2010 à 02:28 Name: 0001-Path-finding-cleanup.patch Size: 206 ko By: pepeto http://gna.org/patch/download.php?file_id=11026 ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/patch/?2145 ___ Message posté via/par Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
