// To install AIUR //
/////////////////////

0) If you have a released Aiur.dll file, then you can skip the following parts. goto 3;

1) GET VC++ 2008

- Download and install Visual C++ 2008 Studio Express Edition (or the current version). Don't worry, it's free.


2) COMPILING THE CODE

- In the Aiur directory, double-click on AiurProject.sln (it should run VC++). 
- Under VC++, be sure that "Release" is chosen in the first drop-down menu, and not "Debug".
- Compile with Build -> Build Aiur. It must create a Release directory into your Aiur directory, with (among others) the file Aiur.dll.


3) DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL LEGAL STUFFS ;)

- Download BWAPI version 3.6.1 (http://code.google.com/p/bwapi/) and unzip the file.
- Download Chaoslauncher (http://winner.cspsx.de/Starcraft/). Current version today (2011/06/19) is 0.8.7.
- Be sure your StarCraft Broodwar is patched to be the 1.16.1 version. Otherwise, download the patch available on Blizzard web page and install it.


4) COPY THE RIGHT FILES

- Copy all files from BWAPI 3.6.1\Chaoslauncher into the Chaoslauncher directory.
- Copy all files from BWAPI 3.6.1\Windows into your Windows directory.
- Copy all files from BWAPI 3.6.1\Starcraft into your Starcraft directory.


5) COPY AIUR.DLL

- From your Aiur\Release directory, copy the file Aiur.dll into your Starcraft\bwapi-data\AI directory


6) ALMOST DONE!

- Launch Chaosloader.exe (in the Chaosloader directory of course).
- select BWAPI Injector (Release).
- If it is the first time you do this, click on the "Config" button once you have selected BWAPI Injector (Release), and change the line "ai = ..." (all lines starting with ";" are commented) by "ai = bwapi-data\AI\Aiur.dll".


7) ENJOY!

- Be sure StarCraft 1.16.1 is chosen in the drop-down menu, and click on the Start button!
- To see Aiur playing against the Blizzard AI, launch a single player custom game.
- To play against Aiur, you can do it via a Local Area Network game, with 2 computers or one computer if you have selected "Starcraft Multi-Instance" with Chaoslauncher before running the game.


X) TROUBLES?
It is the first time you play with Aiur on a given map and the game freezes at the very beginning? This is not a crash/bug, it is perfectly normal. If you have selected a map Aiur never played before, it analyses it before launching the game. It can take 1 to 3 minutes, depending of your machine. This will happen just once per new map; the result of the analysis is stored in a file in your Starcraft\bwapi-data\BWTA directory. If you don't want to wait, you can download the map pool used by the AIIDE 2011 contest as well as map analysises here: http://code.google.com/p/aiurproject/downloads/list
