BotArena Feedback

Thanks for your comments We are very happy when BA gets good reviews.

About crashes, we slowly remove their. The only problem is that some are very hard to fix. We know that sometimes equipment causes some crashes, and we are working on it.

When a game crashes,a mdmp file is created on BA folder. You can attach it when you report a game crash.

Of course if you found other bugs, don't doubt on report their too.

Again thx for trying BA.

Awesome, I'll be sure to report those crashes with memory dumps!
You're very welcome, thanks again for all your hard work!

I have been really liking this program so far, lots of cards implemented. One thing I would like to see at the moment is more than one opponent LAN/IP games. Also allowing another tab next to sideboard like your own collection would be great. Multiplayer with CPU opponents would be cool but I imagine that would take lots of work, hopefully someday it will be possible .

EDIT: Oh ya one more thing. The folders for your card images differs from MWS its a real pain copying the ones that aren't similar for your program to find them. Maybe add a config to change those?

I'm not sure how the formats differ, but once the differences are enumerated they could be handled with woogerboy's solution here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3208

[Rheikon]

Thats nifty, thanks!

They differ in that BOA pretty much does not use the set codes for folders and most 3 letters so some work and others i have to copy and rename folders for both apps to work. Really dont want to copy each set of images for every single application :/, but it is looking like everyone has their own way.

Thx for feedback BA. ABout folders, you can see this post to know which is the folder name for each set.

About multiplayer, that is very difficult to implement with current BA engine, so it willn't seem in BA i guess

[Rheikon]

I know where each folder goes but i have to keep copying some folders for each program that uses pictures.. its just getting annoying and taking up more space than needed.

I know you can't alter the AI but can you simply extend the usage pattern settings so that the AI uses them. This would allow us to make the AI play some cards more sensibly for example deceiver exarch or spellstutter sprite almost never want to be cast on its own turn and we could simply set them to not be which improves the overall AI performance.

[FranAvalon]

I would like to do that but no one of us has enough skills to do that by the moment.
I tried to force AI to cas polymorph for example in its own creatures, but i couldnt

[muppet]

One feature that might be easy enough to implement that I would find useful would be a save the current state of the game function.

Then you could halt the game if something came up and reload it later. Or simply try a few different options from a given point and see how they work out.

That was suggested by me to battlestar long time ago, but never was done. I think that is outside of our skills

I download the BotArena 1.32.1.msi, but when I try to install it, It generates an error below.

Thanks

[FranAvalon]

Weird. Could you install BA anyway?
