Yet Another Build Order Tester (YABOT)
Introduction
This project is series of standard 1v1 Blizzard maps adapted to include a sophisticated build order testing system. The goal is to execute the chosen build while keeping up worker production and creating the largest army possible. The AI will execute a given build order or execute a random one. At the end of the round, you are given a score which tells how well you executed the build. Also included is a "Freestyle" mode, which monitors your play and displays the build order that you performed.
After playing a freestyle, you can open your bank (save) file at My Documents/Starcraft II/Banks/YabotSettings.SC2Bank in a text editor to see the encoded build as a single line of text. This text can then be decoded and edited at sc2builds.com

Known Issues
- UI race style is set by the random starting race and cannot be changed when switching race... no known fix yet.
- For construction of buildings or training of units, the build object is completed when the unit actually starts production rather than when it is queued. There may be a work-around in future versions.
- When a build objective is an upgrade, the recorded minerals and gas are after the upgrade was clicked.
- AI location is fixed until the map is completely reloaded

@Ghosthawk: Look toward the end of the RestartMap trigger. :p
Hey Xorpwnz You are awesome thnx for the map, I been checking out some of the triggers im no expert but I set my own build and it works perfect and of course its only for personal used one thing tho i been searching for a way to increase the Round Timer and i can't find it >.<
@dunlace: the download is just a zip file with the map file inside. I plan on adding several other Blizzard 1v1 maps, so they will all be in the one zip file eventually.
@perkins: my goal is so somehow, someway figure out how to import/export builds. If not now, then later when the map editor is more developed.
This map is pure awesomeness. If only one could set own build orders as a goal. But if you ad the most common ones it should be finde aswell. really nicely done, thank you!
ok i got a problem here i downloaded ur v0.1.2 and it is a WinRar file... why? and how to get it to a map
thx to answer me soon ^_^
Thanks for the comments everyone. I added enGB localization and I'm now working on adding more options to configure the attack waves including a difficulty setting. I will also be adding 9 additional builds total and 7 additional maps hopefully by tomorrow.
@vadremix: Just use the tag: ((center))((youtube mxn8SQXWS3s))((/center))
but replace the (( with << and )) with >>
I love this map. It can use improvements, but overall this is an excellent idea. And, off topic, but how do you embed a video onto your page?
Seems like you added localization for every possible locale except for EnGB :< But wow, this sure has improved since the last time I took a look at it about a week ago. Great job o/
Hi, I've played 2 times your map and here's my comment about it
Anyway, you did a very great job in this map so far, keep working on it
