AI: (Get Well Soon Bero!)

[shanus]

we could give AI its own forum on smashmods if you want?

 

[Clai]

I'd like to test it more, so I will be able to release by the end of this week.
Do you think we should have a new collaboration thread? I think it will be necessary when everyone starts experiment with the editor. But I also think it's good that we don't release anything until we make entirely new AI as a surprise like phoenix mario(that way, I'm not sure whether I can release by my end of life...)

I'd like to get a copy of this to test it out as well, that would be incredible if you can do this. Thank you all so much for your efforts and determination, being able to playtest and look for bugs is the least I can do to pay back for all your work.

 

[Bero]

Something came up and I can't release AIScriptpad for a week...
If there are people who are waiting my program,I'm sorry. Please be patient.

 

[Dantarion]

Ill keep figuring out commands for now then :D

 

[SmashClash]

I can't wait for the release.

 

[Bero]

I'm sorry. I'm in a hospital. I have to stay there for more than two weeks... So the release date will be the middle of this month...

 

[Dantarion]

Get better soon.
I will be documenting the AI commands in the meantime, and waiting for your return.
<3 and *hugs*

 

[Eldiran]

Thanks for all the hard work, Bero (and Dant) -- get well soon!

 

[Clai]

Best wishes and get well Bero. Take as much time as you need, your health is more important than anything.

If there is any information that any of the other developers want me to place on the OP, I will scrap the OP and update it to reflect the current state.

@Bero-

I'm sorry. I'm in a hospital. I have to stay there for more than two weeks... So the release date will be the middle of this month...

Don't worry about it. Get better.

 

[Bero]

Thank you all. I WILL BE BACK SOON.

 

[Shadic]

Glad to hear it.

 

[Bero]

Well,I'm back. I'd like to release the program by Monday.

 

[M!nt]

Glad to see you're back cant wait to see your work.

 

[Dantarion]

Go for it!
Unfortunetly, I think this will be extremely hard to use until we get EVERYTHING labeled properly.
Unless Bero has figured out a lot more of the commands than I have.

AIScriptpad1.0

EDIT
oops, unnecessary files were included... Fixed download.

 

[bleyva]

i just noticed your location says Japan....were you affected by that earthquake? are you okay?

 

[Bero]

I heard that earthquake was EXTREMELY strong, but I don't live near there, so I'm OK.

 

[bleyva]

thats great to hear man

also, keep up the awesome work

 

[Bero]

I think 14 is related to 03,04,05,1C.
03 and 05,1C pushes certain address into location r26+6C(sometimes r29 directly) and 14 pops the address.

By the way,how is the editor? Is that good or bad? I think we can already do such things:
*Disable air dodge near the stage edge.
*Change attacks of CP.
*Find out other meanings of commands.

 

[Bero]

I think 03,04,05 aren't only loop related things. New definition:
03 "Label" Sometimes it has LabelID.
04 "Return"(to the 05 jumped from)
05,1C-with no arguments "SearchLabel"(unable to return,jump using 14)
with an argument "Goto"(able to return by 04)
14 "Jump" (to the 03 which is found by 05)

Using command04 twice,you can quit the routine.

And new 00 definition:
00 "Finish"

 

[Dantarion]

The labels seem to almost define subroutines in a lot of the files.
http://opensa.dantarion.com/ai_dumps/0070.txt

This one is a good example. If you see the Sub() call, it jumps down to the next subroutine block


BTW, found something weird about the block structure.

If
.....
EndIf

This looks right

If
.....
Else
.....
EndIf

This looks right

 If
 .....
Else
If
.....
 EndIf

But wait, wheres the endif for the else? There isn't one.
Apparently Else->If only creates one block, therefore elif like in python. After accounting for that, the indentation on all of my scripts magically fixed itself.


Also!

EDIT:
0x22,0x23 are interesting.

 

[Bero]

That picture is interesting! But why do some AI have no links?...

I found 1F has something to do with controling articles. I don't know how they are used though.

 

[Dantarion]

When the AI uses "Finish" the AI seems to end up at another AI routine semi-randomly. I have yet to figure that out.

 

[Bero]

02 Store two floating point. Not exactly.

I found major commands of AIScripts had already been analyzed.
I think we should get knowledge of functions(0x10XX) and requirements.

 

[Dantarion]

Heres what I think of these commands.
0x05 = SetJump
0x04 = Jump

If you step through the AI, whenever the game calls 0x04, the next command is the one after the label found by 0x05. Also, Jump seems to allow for a frame to pass in game?


For example....
http://opensa.dantarion.com/ai_dumps/0070.txt
The first block in this one runs once.

It runs SetJump, then Jump, which brings it to the second block.
That block presses Shield, and if its frame 3, it SetJumps so that instead of looping, it jumps to the next block. If its NOT frame 3, the section will loop, as the Jump command will just jump to the beginning of that block.

The last block is simple. It presses Shield...then, depending of if its being called as 0071 or 0072, it presses the stick either left or right. Then...it Finish's, which ends the routine.

The Jump at the end seems to be unneeded.

 

[Bero]

I think my theory of 04 is weird,but this is the ASM

mr      r30, r29      # 04
li      r29, 0

mr      r29, r30 #05
mr      r30, r5

Your theory seems to be correct though.

if(frame,20) AndNot(frame,22)
{
	Stick(0,-2)
}
if(frame,28)

	Finish()

Jump()

 

[Bero]

Good work,but I'm not surprised. What do you think about Stick()?
What are its arguments?

I think 04 is "Return". When there's an address on callstack,04 is used to return.
When there's nothing on callstack,04 stops current AI.

 

[Bero]

I looked into ASM again and found you were correct...
05 is "set next routine",actually.

By the way, findings:
function 0x1003-get direction of opponent. Returns 1,if the opponent is in front,-1 if the opponent is in back.
requirement 0x1003-returns true if the character is not attacked.
command 1F: input direction directly?
1E: converts value to abstract value.

 

[Dantarion]

1E is absolute value, isn't it

The difference between Stick and TargetStick(1F) (too lazy to look up what stick is) is that Stick seems to have some random element applied to it. I noticed that when I had my above script except with -1 for the fastfall, it sometimes wouldn't fastfall.

I think it may have to do with AI level

 

[Bero]

Oh,I'm ashamed...

I'll try to make iceclimbers chain grab tommorow.

 

[Dantarion]

I can't remember which one, but there is actually an AI routine for when the comp lands a grab

 

[standardtoaster]

I can't wait for the ice climber AI, Bero.

[12:26:43 PM] Standardtoaster: Bero's going to make a frame perfect ice climber CG AI
[12:27:19 PM] GHNeko: grab = death always
[12:27:23 PM] GHNeko: Genesis 3
[12:27:27 PM] GHNeko: M2K vs CPU by Bero

 

[Dantarion]

requirement 0x1003-returns true if the character is not attacked.

I think it returns true if the character is in a grounded neutral state.
It returns 1 every time the character goes to wait, and I saw it return 1 during a crouch too

 

[Bero]

I can read process of AI,but there are too many unknown functions and requirements.
I can hardly make the chaingrab AI,so I'll learn about them first.

 

[Life]

I can't wait for the ice climber AI, Bero.

And this is the reason why AI gets me hyped.

Thank you so much Bero/Dant

 

[Bero]

0x2A Set CallAI destination
This is why sometimes CallAI command doesn't have any arguments.

 

[Bero]

1A has something to do with frames.
