Hey Magic Fire, Centaur? for ya.

[ReconSDog offline]

Is this a finished product? Just wondering, or are you still working on it dude?

[BotManiac offline]

do the bots use the vehicles in the second round ??

i had this problem with the older version of your Centaur SE :-o
[the one you emailed me and then i fixed with the extra files posted here, that fixed the map from not loading up]

ill def. be playing this one today :-)

Thanks Lagg_Alot, ReconSDog, BotManiac, and everyone for all your comments and encouragement.

Tribes 2 scripting/mapping can be overwhelming. I feel that I've really excelled on
the learning curve.

It's still a beta. I feel that my next version will be the release.

I'm very new to this, but I learn pretty quickly.

I only found out about tribes 2 months ago, and now I'm doing mapping/scripting.

Yes, BotManiac, the second round has been fixed. But the Bots still take too long to
capture the objective in my opinion.

I still need:

1. Lagg's approval of my changes to his aiObjectives. I think the code is right, I
just would like his approval. Lagg??? WHERE ARE YOU???
If he approves, I would ask that he add my change to his latest implementation of his scripts.

2. Weight Tweaking

3. Implementaion of the "extras" file.

Finally,
This is my first EVER attempt at this and it is a learning tool for me so, I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thats what i was worried about :-o
there are some things to consider for the next version.

My change is completely compatible with the current Lagg code.

What I hope is, since it doesn't break the functionality but enhances it,
you, Lagg_Alot, could include it as additional "Bot" Intelligence in your
future releases Default3, Default4, etc.

Because sometimes a Bot can be smarter than his creator, and just because the
map designer didn't send him to the right place, he still should know how to get there and fix the stuff.

This also allows a mapper to change the course of a Bot to avoid the straight "Bot" path to the objective.
This could be through dangerous territory where a bot can easily be killed.
This way, the bot can come around from behind and repair vital base equipment, without
getting into a fight for his life! This has serious potential! (I noticed that someone mentioned this in another thread.)

I don't want the recognition, It's all you my man!

Just a thought.

I also hate to need to have 2 or more modified Lagg script files. (HINT HINT)

I just played Centaur SE [MagicFire's version of course].

i cant really see anything wrong with it.
besides the maps design with its mountains.

i played my favorite 2 humans vs. 32 Bots Matches. this isnt possible anymore the bots are just too tough for us !!
hehe what you expect ?
its even harder on Lagg_Alots Missions.

on defense the bots got our switch in 4 minutes on Cold Front.

its fun getting youre A** handed to you.

:-o

back in the day Tribes2 bots were pretty useless.

thanks for the fun times guys.

w00t w00t! I had a feeling people would like that map. I loved it from the first time I played it several year's back.

[BotManiac offline]

now if i could just stumble upon a old classic i remember . . .

i think i used Belials bots or BotPilot to "enable" bots to play on the map.
i remember the bots on offense couldnt play because you had to go over _Alot_ of water. then you would arrive at the defensive 'CoastLine' and they would have a serious of turrets. you go from left to right destroying the coastlines defenses.

oh well . . .

the point is kinda
i like a Ton of Seige Maps and i downloaded everyone that had a bot file. as designated by the checkbox for Bots on Tribes2maps.com [my source for T2 maps]. who knows if i'll ever stumble upon it again. maybe i didnt download it from T2maps *hmmm*
*wonder*

anyway im sure there we be more Bot Fun to come :-)

a few Fans_Of_Bots have implemented Lagg bot code, impresively.
MagicFire , ReconSDog and Go4it :-)

Keep it up ;-)

btw obviously my version of Centaur woulda been extremely weak against MagicFire's. Hes learned alot of advanced stuff and it shows in the map ;-)

[ReconSDog offline]

Keep practicing using the editor dude that's how I learned. I started shortly after Belial's site went up that's where I first learned how to implement bot's. BTW check out Mapping Extreme.



Maybe they have it there dude!
