Marines' aiming and shooting, Aiming too slow

It's frustratingly slow, and they can't keep their crosshairs anywhere near a jumping and/or strafing skulk. Also, would it be too tedious to add a sort of "max bullets per burst" -variable, which the users could change? Most human players tend to empty their clips in 1-3 bursts, but the bots keep firing in small bursts even if an onos (me) is standing still right in front of them. Other than those, I'll be a happy commander-trainee once the wait_for_orders bug in NS3 is fixed. Good work!

I've also tried various update_vision_time, and ..._revs values, but to no noticeable effect. Does everyone else have this kind of behaviour, or is this something that's happening only on my system? I'm not too skilled as a skulk, but I can easily take down a group of five skill-100-rcbot marines.

Really? Where did you find the "skills" command? Because it is not in the rcbot_commands.txt or in any of the configs since rcbot 1.0.

Oh, I was not aware of that but I did find this in the rcbot_botprofile_readme.txt.

The bots skill
--------------

The bots skill is now defined by an integer number in the range 0 to 100
The skill 100 is the best skill, and the skill 0 is the worst skill.

/me wonders why this is not in the bot_config.ini or map spacific <mapname>.cfg?
