The beta builds contain hotfixes for small bugs found after the release of the bot. Unless otherwise stated, they do not change the network protocol. The installation procedure is the same as for the initial release.

Download: DEFCON AI API version 1.56 beta

• Added all files from initial release to zip file (AI folder and some data files)

• Nukes do now trigger EventDestroyed and EventHit events (ie, destroyed buildings will appear on event list)
• New command line options:
  • maxgametime=n maximum game time in ingame seconds before the victory timer starts. Victory timer can only start in defcon 1. example: maxgametime=15000
  • internalais=n number of internal ais used. you can use numplayers to specify when the host will start the game. example: numplayers=3 internalais=2
  • internalaiterritory=n territory of an internal ai. use repeatedly for more than one ai. the internalais value will be set automatically to the correct size. example: internalaiterritory=1 internalaiterritory=3
  • repeat=n repeats the game n times. If set, the current game will end immediatelly after the victory timer ends and return to the host screen. after all games have been played, game should shut down entirely.
  • fastserveradvance enables a quicker server update than every 100ms. (Beta feature, please report any oddities)
• Fixed: Initialisation of dll was called twice occasionally.
