The annoying thing about RCBot in DOD:S. Options

[SPYderman]

I enjoy playing with RCBots on DOD:S, I do. But there's one really annoying thing about them on DOD:S that makes them so... weird.

The fact they lay down before shooting almost every single time. Even if it's up close and personal, instead of hip firing they just try to lay down then shoot, which eventually gets them killed before they can even hit the floor. Even when I read the logs, I see a couple people join the server and chat how 'bad' they are. I personally don't think they're bad, they just always lay down before firing.

Is there any possible way to change this?

Sorry I've been away for a while, looking after the baby and such. Got a new laptop too, so I can't actually code on this one yet. Anyway, fired up the old laptop and checked the code. There's a small bug which lets bots prone if the have a gun that needs to be deployed (e.g machine gun) and they will prone more often with that and may unprone as there was something missing in the code. I've fixed that now. But I've also added a little thing to make bots 'learn' when best to prone. I tried it out, didn't see them prone as much and the rounds were going much quicker in dod_avalanche, mainly the axis winning though...

Going to try to add more stuff soon, especially crouching for cover then uncrouching etc..

Really great job. You take your time, man. Life before bot programming.
