i just got a new [used] computer

athlon 1800XP :-)
256sdram pc133 :-o

this one would be my LAN dedicated server.
unless my friend brings his laptop
which is a P4 2.8 , 448mb ram.

then he'll game on my Athlon and dedicate his Laptop :-)

kLUMSY bOT i dont know how i missed that Bot.Vl2 ?!
its not new like i expected [its from 2003].
i browsed youre site before a few times.

maybe you can make it clearer on youre site.
a link dedicated to "Bots" like you have "missions"
possibly add some Newb info in there like

"download community patch"
"download bots.vl2"
etc etc

i would like to know how to properly have everything installed for the bots as a priority. like a bot players "must" have list.

just a suggestion.
if not you then someone needs to dedicate a page to Tribes2 Bot Newb guide of some sort.

again just a suggestion. dont yell at me :-)

ok so remove/backup missions.vl2 from the base folder,
when using Bots.vl2.

im getting a "UE" on my new athlonXP with T2.
i transferred the whole 'Dynamix' folder over the network to it.
but upon loading it dumps me back to desktop with the UE.

i deleted the .DSO files so that i could 'start a clean config'
didnt work. stuck on this one for now.
so i havent been able to use the Athlon as a dedicated server just yet.

this could be tied togther with not having correct video drivers
for the crap radeon 7000. i loaded the ones off WInXP Cd :/
ill try that fix first.

newb guide update :
1 : "download community patch extract to BASE folder"
2 : "add all of kLUMSY bOT's,Lagg_Alots and ZODs Maps[put .Vl2's in base folder]"
3 : "download bots.vl2 [place in BASE folder"
4 : "backup/remove missions.vl2 [if you use Bots.vl2 from kLUMSY bOT'"

hopefully someone has a fix for my UE or its just the video drivers.
thanks

kLUMSY bOT youre site is very nice just like you said some of us might overlook those bot files.

cause you click 'Missions' then "bot embedded"
and then there is the Full pack [bots.vl2] then all the maps contained in that pack as single downloads.

i would put a "Bot" link to the left with "missions" "scripts"
"interiors".

and i would seperate the Bots.Vl2 pack a few lines from the single downloads cause most bot players probably would download the whole pack in one swoop.
make it a bit clearer that the Bots.vl2 pack contains all the Missions below.

again just a suggestion.
some people are like me and others can read through the lines alittle quicker :-)

but if you wanted to clear that up that is what i suggest :-)

but i already have the info i need and the Bots.Vl2 bwhahah
thanks

let the newbs suffer! j/k

i was having a blast last night playing LAN
32 bots on Sir Lagg_Alots 'No Quarter'
its a bot Masterpeice.

2 humans ;32 bots.

on a dedicated server athlonxp 1800+ [1.5ghz]
256 pc133 like 30-50 ping on a LAN

on defense we held them to pretty much nothing
then on offense we couldnt conquer but we were getting close.
very Exciting bot play.

bots do all their Chores so much so that a was going to do mine and repair a Sensor and a bot had the same thought in mind.

you made genious' out of them once really silly bots.

im really impressed.

there are still somethings bots do that suck in general.

but im more then satisfied.
most problems people already posted.

1. bots unaware of attackers unless provoked.

2. bots taunting opens them up to be Owned.

3. No Offline BotPilot code yet

im impressed. dont get me wrong.

next thing im looking foward to is obviously
1. a BotPilot mission from Lagg_alot

2. updates to retail maps with Lagg_Alots BotPilot code/script

3. other mappers/coders/scripters who take advantage of
Lagg_Alots already indepth bot coding missioning' :-)

thanks
