Development underway Options

Thanks to botman making a really basic bot template, I'm making my own template which will become rcbot 2.

I haven't got many solid details to write down yet, rest assured I've already wrote thousands of lines of code, but nothing to do with bots actually doing anything yet.

The bot will probably support CS source, HLDM (when valve fixes the bot crash bug - soon) and SvenCoop 2 when that's out.

Hey Cheeseh look at this news from Steampowered.com

January 14, 2005, 5:28 pm ? Valve
The official Counter-Strike Bot will be released for Counter-Strike: Source on Monday (January 17th). The Bot features enhanced abilities and will be available for all owners of Counter-Strike: Source. Also included in Monday?s release is an updated version de_tides, rebuilt by Turtlerock Studios. For more information or to purchase your copy of Counter-Strike: Source, please visit www.steampowered.com.

Do you have anything to do with that ? I mean we never know, good like your are you can always get offers from "officials" hehe.

I wonder how they will move around the map. Probably with Nodes, from what I've seen in Hammer, that's pretty much what is used for the A.I to move around.

The only thing I'm wondering is...are those "official Bots" going to be able to change their weapons according to the range at which their enemy is. Because that's a problem with a few weapons, not being good at Close/Medium/Long range. I mean...I wouldn't be surprised if those Bots would use Shotguns to take out everyone at any range.

Not only that, but Team-Play as well. That's THE most important part in Counter-Strike.

If they just move around completely scattered it's going to be a slaughter.

Anyways...I just hope they are good.
