Any Chance for commanding NS Marines?, Just curious here Cheesh... Options

[MarD]

Heyyo,

Cheesh, since your bot's the only one made for NS that does marines, is there any chance of you improving it by making the marines be commanders too? I've tried one of your early betas that the bots act as commanders and it was interesting cause they did plop down buildings... of course not in the best places, but it was pretty good for waypointless building placement.

I think the easiest way to setup bots as commanders is that you pre-define good places for bots to build buildings, and bots to build defensive equipment by waypoints. RCbot's gotta pretty strong NS waypointing community, I'm sure if you did this they'd gladly upgrade their waypoints or yours.

And as for bots giving out commands to other bots and players to move wouldn't be too hard either, just tell whoever they ahve selected to go to a certain waypoint, to building to build it.

I know you're chocked for time n' stuff, I'm just curious if this was an idea of yours, or was one that diddn't work out is all...

All I can do is tell you to search....

I've said before that I can't make bots command unless there is some API for the command console code in NS and I can't do that, only NS developers can do it, whom I've told but they don't seem to think it's very important
