BWAPI bot matches 24 / 7

Thank you but it seems like mine still sucks vs the other good terrans (Nova & Undermind). Even the new ver (2.19 avail in dl links) seems not to be able to win consistently vs them and loses pretty often.

Thanks to Nova bot's author, Alberto Uriarte, the Ladder site now has a totally awesome new design. We're working on improving the DB design, too, so expect it soon to be a lot faster as well.

It's nice to see the continued effort to improve the site. It definitely is a great way to evaluate bot performance and see progress.

Completed the process of migrating to the new design. The site now works significantly faster again thanks to Alberto Uriarte. Replay download functionality is now restored and replays will have 100% matching with the corresponding game unlike before when it was more like 95%.
I will be experimenting with streaming and auto screen positioning these days.

Experimenting with streaming of matches. Tell me if you see any issues.

Thanks to Alberto, the ladder now shows Bot vs Race ELO ratings and ELO rating graph over time.

Heh, it looks like carrier rushing works in BWAPI too

[krasi0]

Definitely! It kicked all others' asses

Added bot IO support according to AIIDE format. A bot always sees the opponent named as "BotXYZ" but has access to all data it has previously logged vs that particular opponent in the read dir. It's replaced automatically according to the current opponent. Please don't rely on seeing opponent names as "Skynet", "Overmind", etc.
The dir to read from - 'bwapi-data\read'. The dir to write to (in onFrame or onEnd) - 'bwapi-data\write'

Now uploading replays with Overmind as well
