RCBot 1.4 BETA, For NS 3.0 + other stuff (GET IT :P) Options

[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

fixed hanging in the specialists when grenade thrown

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

does it require a new release? I don't know, if it's a server only upgrade, most probably the current bot will work with it. If it's a client update also, there may be changes that cause the bots to f*** up such like what happened last release when the bots didn't follow orders and aliens didn't shoot. There is no guarentee there will be any changes to NS that requires a change to the bots code. I've not been told anything about the changes, so I don't know. I've just got to wait like the rest of you.

note: I've also noticed bugs with my latest beta bot for The Specialists such as not using Objectives/ because I had them coded in debug mode, not release mode (doh!) So I'll be adding some more stuff first before releasing the next beta anyway.
