Cannot play with friends against BWMetaAi #21

I can play against the AI myself using this method now.

Samase works great for me. Didn't notice any problems. The timings in my custom builds still work. I encourage everyone to give this a try.

  1. Get Samase
  2. Get aiscript.bin from BWMetaAI's releases page
  3. Make the directory layout like this: StarCraft\x86\StarCraft.exe StarCraft\x86\sesame.exe StarCraft\x86_custom_\scripts\aiscript.bin
  4. Make a shortcut to sasame.exe and add custom as a command line parameter.

The name custom can be anything you want. Just make sure the directory and parameter match.

Now however when I try to start a game over either Battle.net or LAN with a friend who also has set up the AI in the way mentioned above, we both get dropped from each others games at the exact time when the AI's first say something in all chat.

We used to play against this AI together (Its very fun on big maps) when all we had to do was replace the patch_rt files on everyone's computers. Everything ran fine, and it was the most enjoyable comp stomps I had ever played (considering it was actually a challenge), but now I am wearing a mild sad face as this is seemingly no long possible D:

In case you are wondering, both me and my friend can individually play against the new AI (the messages appear etc) but just cannot play together.

I hope someone can help! And if not, I'll just have to live with.... Starcraft 2... (Dies a bit inside)

Can I also just say thank you to the guy who made this? This was the most fun I'd had playing computers in Brood War!

Thanks for getting in touch about this. I'm glad that you've had so much fun playing against this AI!

I unfortunately have limited time to commit to this project, so I don't have any suggestions on a fix for you at the moment. Certainly make sure that everyone playing is using the exact same version of Samase and aiscript.bin if you have not already.

I did confirm that the way that you are running the game using Samase works for me locally. I'm not certain what would be causing a desync for you in multiplayer, but I haven't used this in multiplayer since Samase became necessary for playing. It's entirely possible that one of the recent patches adjusted something in a way that now leads modified MPQs to cause desyncs in multiplayer, but I don't follow the modding scene well enough to know if this is the case.

I'll update this issue if I learn of a way to fix this. In the meantime, the only workaround that I am aware of is to play on 1.16. T_T

Ok, Thanks for the quick reply. I hope something gets figured out soon!

Just want to note that there is no drop problem with remastered now. Tested on version 1.23.6 with my friend and all worked fine.
