Older Version Downloads

• Windows
• Linux 64bit
• Source code

Mods with incomplete support:

• BloX (transporters unsupported: can't figure out that guns are attached to the transporters to make a tank)
• 1944 & Epic Legions (requires a unique method of destroying parts of the enemy base)
• Fibre - units are controlled differently than RAI expected, AI-Events do not occur in the way that is expected
• more generally, any mod that does not have controllable mobile attack units

How to compile on Linux

Recent versions of spring (0.77+) can compile it without any hassle, using both scons and cmake. A simple scons or make (if using cmake) will do.

For older versions of spring (0.76):

• download spring sources here, and extract it somewhere
• download RAI sources here, and save it into the {spring source}/AI/Global/ folder
• install the glew development package - on Ubuntu it's sudo apt-get install libglew1.5-dev
• open the project in CodeBlocks - there's a project file for CB provided in the RAI/CodeBlocks directory
• then edit the sources a bit to have them be more cross-platform friendly - atm they use a windows function to create folders.
  • in v0.553: RAI/Global.cpp, edit line 4 to say #include <sys/stat.h> instead
  • for v0.600: this is RAI/RAI.cpp, line 10
  • in v0.553: RAI/Global.cpp, edit lines 157-158 to say:
    • mkdir( "AI/RAI", S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IROTH | S_IXOTH );
    • mkdir( "AI/RAI/Metal", S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IROTH | S_IXOTH );
  • for v0.600: this is RAI/RAI.cpp, lines 1086-1089
• at this point, it'll compile fine, but give some warnings about int floats. The problem is that it doesn't generate a .so somehow though, so some voodoo magic needs to be done
  • Go to project properties, and under Build Targets, enable 'auto generate extension'.
• now use clean the project, and recompile the whole thing. You should get a RAI.so in the CodeBlocks directory.
• to test, put the .so into ~/.spring/AI/Bot-libs/, and since SpringLobby will see it right away, try a single player game.

Version History

v0.601:

• Fixes

v0.600:

• terrain-map improvements (nearly complete universal map support)
• map-areas generated for each mobile unit-type defined by slope,elevation,hovering,floating capabilities
• units will, virtually, never attempt to make an impossible move (based on the starting terrain)
• factories will no longer be build in sectors/areas that give their units access to less than 20% of the map
• acid/lava and other harmful water maps are now properly detected and will not be built in or moved across (excluding units with hover/flying capabilities)
• KAI's metal-map class has been removed & replaced
• resource linking has been improved (expansion routes)
• the power-manager class has been improved
• early starting unit are monitored more closely to ensure that a starting base is build when possible
