[MOD] Yet Another Build Order Tester (YABOT)

I'm liking this more every day, I'd suggest to give the player the option to continue to play after the 7 minutes, sometimes I need to check random stuff which can't be done in under 7 minutes.

New version is up! Here are some of the changes that I think you'll like:

Added 9 additional custom build order slots (10 total)
Improved score window: Continue Playing button and Save To Slot X button after freestyle to quickly save the run into a custom slot
Added one new map: Metalopolis (w00t)
Added two new build orders: Zerg 6 pool (thanks Storm); Protoss 4 Gate (thanks palanq)
Fixed more Zerg bugs (haha... Zerg bugs): Starting Zerg creep is now the correct size and Queens now show up more than once in the freestyle build

So with this, the bugs have been worked out and the features are mostly in place. Now we really need build orders! Please start making them using the freestyle mode or the online tool and email them to me for inclusion in the map. <3

It's a very powerful tool but i'd like to know how to compare the times I did (not just the supply count) in freestyle mode vs another run in freestyle mode... really it comes down to timing, i dont care about the supply i wanna know what build order gets stuff out the fastest.

thanks

this is kinda like the guy that started milking and cows... what the hell was he doing?

Point well taken... I will be adding a time in addition to supply, minerals, and gas to each step. What you will be able to do is save a freestyle run to custom slot 1, then next time save it to custom slot 2. Then you will be able to toggle between them in the build selection list.

Hmm im getting this glitch where when i pick zerg no matter what build order i set for the terran, it stays the same. Is it just me?

This could be a huge acquisition as long as they also get the puppy

Is it possible to have a Thor push with SCVs repairing the thor? I keep losing to that in my games and would like to practice against it. Thanks in advance.

If you can figure out exactly how that's happening to you, I should be able to fix it.

When we start upgrading AI, this would definitely be a great thing to add

This is an absolutely amazing tool; thank you very much for providing this for the community.

I would be genuinely surprised if YABOT didn't become a tool that every serious player used. The ability to export your build order to line of text that can be shared with friends is ingenious. It takes several minutes to type out a build order when you're emphasizing all the details (I play Protoss exclusively; I always include what I boost up until like 30 food and I include things like when I transfer probes to gas). It'll be nice to just exchange lines of text with people and load it in YABOT.

ability to add own build orders would put even more "custom" into this custom map

But you can add your own! Just use my online tool and then past the text that is generated into the chat window to import the build. Check out the video for more details. For longer builds you may have to add it directly to the Bank file, but it's not too hard. You'll see how to do it from the video.

This is an awesome tool! Just wondering if we need a thread where people can post the custom builds they have made. That would reduce the need for more inbuilt build orders and allow for loads more build orders in the tool.
Once again - awesome tool!

Done and done... thanks for the suggestion!

So far this is just by far the best Build Order Tester out there and i like it alot. But still have a suggestion.
Would it be possible to add a few more features for your online build encoder which whould be shown ingame too? Dont get me wrong that online encoder is just to awesome. But it would be even better if its possible to add something like these:
-possibility to choose at how much gas u should buy something and not only at how much supply. Since supply can variate a little and some build orders arent leaded all the way with supply count (liquipedia ones)
-possibility to choose increase the count of a unit/building to build in one step. Like 2x Hellions. Thats good if u have a reactor or something.
-possibility to add one or two words in a step. So u can add something like "Hellion harass"
-possibility to tell a step to switch buildings to addons like tech lab of barrack to factory.
-possibility to add a follow step (like step x,5) into one like if a step tells u build a Rax then your follow step tells u to immediately add a tech lab or to build a marine or to morh your cc to orb.

For the online tool, when you pick XvX, whatever the first race is the second race will be the same. So, you can only set up PvP, ZvZ, and TvT no matter what race you choose for the opponenets race. If you pick ZvT, the scout, harass, and push can only be zerg units, not terran.

Really liking this. Love it both for helping me get a little better and also for keeping me out of SC2 withdrawal while the beta is down

Thanks xorpwnz
