A Formalized AI Modders' Group?

[BotManiac offline]

i had another fun Match on Centaur.

just me,a friend and 14 teammates [Useless bots on this map]
against 16 Bots.

bots on my team have a hard time climbing a hard mountain.

few succeed.

Setup a inventory station, ill bring a satchel.

they smoked us.

this is without a BotPilot Mod. i havent tried them just yet.

It's in the map release announcements .

[kittenstomper2 offline]

i've already started putting the new AI scripts in

[BotManiac offline]

well im glad i found it ;-)

kittenstomper2 : so youre adding these scripts to youre own maps ? or are you regenerating Navs for other maps ?
hopefully both *greedy* j/k

Good Luck on those Maps

[kittenstomper2 offline]

the instructions that came with the scripts at the bottom of the fumarole .MIS file said this;

//---------------------------------- Lagg's Default AI ---
//Add these lines to .mis file before you build AI objectives

// * NOTE * all AIOAttackObjects and AIODestroyObjects must be moved
//to a good location for bot to stand and attack the object.
//AIORepairObject move only if bot gets stuck trying to repair.

well that means to add these to a map that already has bots ( but not smart ones) you have to delete and rebuild the objectives

anyway for now i want to add the scipts to the maps currently on rotation in my server and then i will start on some maps i downloaded

Lagg-Alot,

I'm actually drooling..... I've been waiting for this stuff....

Nice!!! and to coin a phrase "YOU ARE AWESOME."

I like the way you made the bot "cautious" flyers, instead of "I'll just hope I can stop in time" idiots.

That should make speeding them up a lot easier since they already understand how to get there "alive".

I'm a noob.... I'm trying to learn the scripting language. I program in C++ already, so that might help some.

I've been grabbing everything I can get my hands on. Any pointers and/or meaty tutorials by any of the scripting gods will be helpful. I've DL'ed a lot already.

I'd like to be part of this group. I hope over time I can add some useful input.





P.S. BotManic: Is Centaur by Stuart "Vovin" Presley the map you are talking about?

[Blakhart offline]

Ok another request: would you make it so that the bots deploy nothing? I always see them stuck trying to deploy a trrt, throwing spam up on the server.

[BotManiac offline]

MagicFire : Yes that Centaur is it.
Seige map. Bots have a hard time climbing the big mountain on offense.
if only they gathered into a transporter and went up the mountain would there be any hope for my team.

well i've been messing around some yesterday and today with Lagg's new script's. I've gotten some of the script's set up so I can map edit with just a few of them in. I've gotten it to where it'll build the base objective's all of them in one shot. I'm still missing a small amount of thing's which i will hopefully have squared away by the end of this long weekend. I am however having trouble with the vehicle stuff. But I'll keep plugging away. Blakhart asked me to do some CTF map's. My first I've started on is Slapdash. I was thinking of working on Centaur for Bot Maniac that cool with you dude? I really like that map it has a lot of potential.
