RCBot 0.53 BETA : Posted By Cheeseh at 2009-11-13,23:50:35



Major Improvements

- added: allowed bots to take different routes (needs updated waypoints with "route waypoints")
(Works with supplied cp_dustbowl waypoints)
ONLY WORKS ON CTF/CP maps with UPDATED WAYPOINTS
- added: bots return to cap point or flag if intel/cap point is being taken
- allowed additions of editing up to four waypoint types at once
- rcbot waypoint add (type1) (type2) (type3) (type4)
- rcbot waypoint givetype (type1) (type2) (type3) (type4)
- added: route waypoints (givetype route), make these the same area as
attacking position (0 if ctf map) and give team type if appropriate

Minor Improvements

- fixed: spies remove disguise when trying to capture point
- added: arena_point_time: in script for arena maps
- fixed: bots roaming instead of defending issue
- fixed: reduced engineer wrenching distance
- changed: increased spy attack distance with knife (still to improve)
- changed: reduced soldiers need to use shotgun a little


comes with updated CP_STEEL, CP_DUSTBOWL, CP_BADLANDS (untested), CTF_2FORT waypoints

Download

(i'd like to see someone make a video with at least 8 v 8 bots running on dustbowl,, my laptop is too slow...)

There's a noticeable difference, but it doesn't ooze "better" - although I hope it's more of an issue with waypoints.

Sounds awesome cannot wait to try it out!

Also too not sure if it was the custom way points set for a custom map I host called cp_iraqhistan @ 0208.86.251.36:27015 Haven't updated to 5.03 yet.

I noticed in 5.02 the snipers sometimes just stand in a position and turn back and forth never shoot. Heavy's sometimes clump together it's awesome but sometimes gets a little too predictable not sure if is that important or if it is map specific how it turns out.

All in all I love RCBOTS because it makes playing maps I specifically like more fun and honestly the bots are amazing how they can defend the bases!

Also do the bots get ammo and health automatically? I didn't make the waypoints for the custom map we host it is made by a friend of mine named Kampy he made them never asked him if he made them grab health or ammo...

the maps need ammo/health/resupply waypoints for bots to pick up health/ammo when they need it

actually you may find (on ctf_2fort for example) that when bots are waiting for the intel to appear they may run off and come back, this is an unintentional feature that was also added as an effect of adding route waypoints, but i will keep it in as it allows bots to run around more and be more human like instead of just sitting at the intel all the time.

how about the 'ability to script bots to attack both points on gravelpit'thing?
I believe it's harder to make than arena_point_time.

quickly asking this,but on 0.52 release you said:"spies still cannot sap (*engine issue?)"
Does this mean,that you've coded the spybots to sap stuff,but they can't?

As I've posted before, I managed to force spyes to zap, however, I think just cheese didn't find out how to make a script for that?.

I found a problem, probably not only since 0.53
it's in cp_egypt_final, the bots just hang at the blu spawn area.
They seem to bump against the door while it slowly opens which makes it stuck somehow.
See attachment for the location.

Oh,that bug. Somehow when all the bots hop around and jump in the opening door, they jam up the door somehow.
The door will open itself normally when all bots go off the door.
just asking however, who's waypoints are you using? If they're mine,I've updated the waypoints (and every waypoint on my CP category except Fastlane) but I can't upload them because of a glitchy network driver.

I always use my own waypoints, since I had some waypoints for other maps which were from poor quality.

I try to keep my waypoints tidy, making routes, scripts, waypoint types etc to make bots behave senseful.
Also I have tried to script tc_hydro but TC is strange.. you always start the map from a different spawn area..

BTW: I have fixed this by putting a pathnode in mid air directly into the door and increasing the radius of the pathnodes.

Thats why I wanted visibility checks, even on entities such as func_brush for bots. So they see that a door or passage is blocked and they search another target/capture...

the problem is to make the bots tell between func_wall/func_brush and func_door

personally I wish tc_hydro support for 0.54 smile.gif

Fact is I haven't got round to that yet, anyway before I get spies to sap, I also need to get engis to take saps off sentries and also bots to detect spies when they sap a building, but i want to try with the original weapon switching method, which for some reason won't work the way its supposed to

engies start whacking their stuff when they take damage. But they do stop after 7-9 hits.
