Practical example

[Mathias Black offline]

I've posted this beta to beta release and I figured those interested in practical examples of customized bot ai objectives might appreciate this map. I used the same custom mortar objective I used in my bot test map from earlier. Only one team used it however. I also removed alot of the standard objectives, a practice I use alot now, so the bots don't waste time on useless objectives. Like bots dragging there heavy ass to a far away turret only to miss it 2 out of 3 times.

I also tweaked the weight levels so bots prefer to take down the solar panels before capping the flag. whats strange is they think they are turrets. I also used my sniper bot objective near the capturable stations.

The key to great bot support is giving them the right number of objectives. Too many and they'll never get to do them all, too few and they sit around with their thumb up their ass. Also its important to watch your weight levels. Make sure intercepting the enemy flag carrier is the highest, or your bots will simply ignore them.

Another problem with setting weights too high for non essential targets is that when they suddenly are activated (or reactivated) bots will freeze not knowing what to do. Its a problem I encountered countless times before I found out what was causing it.

Well enjoy the map and feel free to use anything you like in your own maps.
