[Cheeseh]

remember this is BETA, meaning I haven't tested it properly, but is most up to date version of the bot

june 12 - 2006

fixed bots still chatting with chat_percent 0 ( i think)
better unwaypointed navigation (still crap though)
more robust team detection in the specialists (could have been causing crashes)
mvm/ava maps in ns: fixed teams not moving to enemy base (I think),
added more commands (see rcbot digest post!)
more stuff

30th january
svencoop: new pain waypoint (place areas where death occurs until triggered e.g. svencoop2) also make sure no paths pass by the waypoint in your waypoint files.
svencoop: bots shoot shootable buttons better
svencoop: bots stopping and zooming with sniper rifle sometimes
svencoop: when a bot is being healed they will also heal the healing player
all mods: fun command "rcbot util explo" (try "rcbot util explo 2000" hehehe)
NS: another tweak to hopefully fix bots not shooting when holding mines


16th december
changed: faster GA learning
changed: dynamic aiming speeds
fixed: bots using teams in HLDM
changed: learning stuff in NS for attacking electrified objects with melee weapons

note: you might want to increase the aiming_speed in bot profiles a little bit.

can now edit rcbot folder with rcbot_folder.ini file:

here's what to do: if you want to put rcbot in a fodler OTHER THAN half-life/rcbot then make a file called "rcbot_folder.ini" in the MOD folder (NOT rcbot folder!! or that's just stupidity...) then just put the folder where rcbot is installed in the file RELATED TO THE "half-life" folder

For example: If I wanted to put the rcbot fodler inside NS/ folder you NEED a rcbot_folder.ini file in "ns/" like this:

ns\rcbot

that's it

...............

[edit]

heres a more up to date version...

added config varaiable "rcbot config not_ns3final" set it to 1 if not using the latest NS for compatibility.
fixed aliens weapons
bots 'learn' when they want to follow enemy (not tested much) no doubt they'll never follow, making them live longer

------------
Okay I got some stuff fixed for NS 3.0,

aliens attack!
marines receive orders without crashing!
faster waypoint path-finding algorithm (less cpu!)
bots learn when to take cover + where to take cover sometimes
added skitchy's code for aliens evolving in combat!!

mtamod rcbot dll DOWNLOAD is attached right here

Heyyo,

I'm not 100% certain, but at times I think bots 'skip' a waypoint onna route now.. I suggest you guys check into this too as it's just a supserstition cause at times they won't go to a certain waypoint n' just go right to the next one, as if there was a pathwaypoint connecting them (and yes, there was no pathwaypoint to begin with either)..

btw, started to waypoint the Operation Search & Destroy campaign, and it's somewhat bot-friendly.. the elevators tend to have holes in the tops of them for bots to drop into incase they leap down the elevator shaft, and the elevators are set to crush n' kill anybody blocking its path... only 1 major downside, at random it crashes if there's a couple of bots running around.. not exactly sure why, it doesn't crash on the 1st level, I don't think the 2nd either, but the 3rd n' up seem to have problems at times...

[EDIT]
oh, and no worries if you don't fix this anytime soon cheesh, I've picked up a copy of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.. and IT HAS COOP! w00t! pretty much why I bought it.. but coop's incredible fun! doin' sweet coop moves like catapulting your buds up walls, rapelling a bud down walls, or even hang a bud from a wire while he hacks a computer/terminal mission impossible style. coop freak loves his coop!!!

oh, and btw discrepant, cheesh released the source code to his bot, so just download it, n' make file with that gcc program, and it should spew out your needed .so file.
