Ultra-Fast Bot Options

[Yukitan]

Hello everyone,

I'm new here.

I would start to say a big Thanks to Cheeseh for making thoses soooo powerfull bots (well not THAT powerfull but they are VERY good usually) ..

But, I thinked to make a super bad-ass bot named "Pain Elemental".

I'm using thoses settings actualy for him :

skill=100
aim_skill=1.0
aim_time=0.0
aim_speed=32.0

(I put AIM_speed VERY high because I am not sure what is the limit and the speed...)

But I usually found it very slow sometimes when a fast opponent (like a skulk in ns) appear and he need around 2 or 3 second to see that the skulk is here ! (without forgetting to tell you that usually he is dead after seeing it)

So I was wondering if there is any way to make him see stuff in front of him DEADLY FAST without to affect others bots ?

(I tried putting somes stuffs in his profiles... But no sucess.)

Thanks!
Keep up the Good Work Cheeseh! (btw, off-topic : the lastest beta build is really a huge improvement compared to 1.3. especially in co_)

AIM SKILL
#
# aim_skill = 0.0 to 1.0
# ------------------
# 0.0 is normal old rcbot aiming
# 1.0 is dead on precision
#
# I'd make this slightly more than 0.0 but not much

aim skill limit is 1.0
AIM TIME

#
# time = 0.0 to infinity (make it something useful!)
# --------------------------------------------------
# time in seconds for bot to update its aiming offset
# the less time then the more dead on its aiming will
# be even if the target is accelerating

make really low, e.g. 0 for excellent aiming

AIM SPEED

#
# the speed is the fraction of 10 degrees per frame
# the old rcbot was 2 degrees per frame
# so the higher you make this then the faster the bot
# will move its aiming
# this value now is just a bit better than the old rcbot
# aiming

You need to think about this one, don't make it too large!!! it will make bots twirl around and sh*t.

Maximum you want is 180/10 = 18.0

limit = 18

so that bot turns left or right by 180 degrees in one frame.
