old rcbot commanding, what happened to it? Options

[Seph31]

It is to my knowledge that in old versions of RCbot, the bots were able to hop into the comm chair and place buildings.
In another post you said that there is no API for NS commanding but if so, then how was the old bot able to command (even though it badically randomly placed buildings)

My idea make an option to allow bots to command and it will use waypoints that people have defined to place buildings.
For example, you would waypoint an armory waypoint and an infantry portal waypoint etc for the bot to place when it has enough res.
It could also place a res tower when you stand near a res node and say In position or need orders.
The same could go for need ammunition and health.
As for strategic desicions, thats something up to the players.

For the most part, the commander mode would be sort of a fill-in for people not wanting to command and just have some NS fun while they dont need to hike back to the comm chair to build a simple res node.

If you decide to do this, I would be glad to help with anything as I think it would be a great addition to RCbot.

Heyyo,

I guess the only way cheesh could pull it off would be to somehow get the bot to properly interface with the command chair setup... He'd probably have to spend like, a heckova long time to do that. I myself find it tedious how I have to place the buildings n' stuff all myself cause the bot's won't.. but meh, at least there's a bot to protect your hide as the alien bots run around n' build stuff with ease, n' slaughter all in sight.

[EDIT]
Let's not forgoet that Cheesh is the only one (that I know of) that has attempted to make a marine bot for NS. So he gets a lot of credit for that. The makers of Hivemind and whichbot won't even dare to touch the marine side of the game.
