About the bots, is it purposeful that they just stand there doing nothing even when you shoot them? I have to go up right next to them and switch to the chainsaw before he will start playing.

Yes, they remain stationary until there are valid waypoints for them to follow.

I'm sure there's a good reason for it, but it still feels weird that when you add 50 bots, you have to go up to each one and push it with a chainsaw before it will actually start fighting. Kinda time consuming...

Or just frag them all with rockets and wait for them to respawn. ;-)

The bots begin life as pacifists, so you're actually corrupting them and forcing them to violence. Typical humans...

lol... anyway, are there any plans to have online bots?

#11932: Re: ..

by Quin on 04/02/2009 06:09, refers to #11931

They do work online, you just need to have the admin password to be able to right now. This may change, depending on how eihrul views the subject. I'm guessing feedback on that would go a long way..

Oh dear, that's quite a good news there.

Wait- waypoints? SP monsters could be able to use 'em.

That's weird, because they sure don't work for me. Whenever I try to add one, as admin, of course, the bot appears in the spawn spot for a split second and then disappears, although he's still displayed in the scoreboard.

#11935: It's not a bug - it's a feature ... (glow on pickups)

by MeatROme on 04/02/2009 15:51

I was contemplating putting this into the "bugs"-thread .. but it's not really a bug - just something I felt the need to comment on:

The new glowing effect on pickups is very neat, although I find it a bit too intense at times - the effect looks like there's a flash of light coming from the item in question ... maybe clamp it to not exceed a certain intensity?!?

In case this matters:

#11938: ..

by xmartinx on 04/02/2009 23:07

Im not sure if this is classed as map editing or not. So i'm putting it here.

Is it possible to add 'scripts' to a map?
For example; an action happen when someone joins the game. I've seen on a few maps, when people join - it welcomes them with a message in the top left;

How would I go about implementing this?

Thanks again,
Martin

by Quin on 04/02/2009 23:57, refers to #11937

I made the waypoints currently in SVN. If you have waypoint files, please address them to me at the email address I use here. I will look them over and check them in if they are made correctly.

#11940: Re: ..

by Quin on 04/02/2009 23:59, refers to #11938

This cannot be done with script, they are implemented with server side code modifications. How to do so is beyond the scope of help and support for the project.

by Maxime -Max of S2D- Lebled on 04/03/2009 00:06

Do the bots support every gamemode or just Deathmatch and its derived types?

reply to this message

#11942: Re: ..

by MovingTarget on 04/03/2009 00:49, refers to #11941

They seem to support CTF, haven't tried regen capture or anything.

BTW, are the bots supposed to disappear as soon as they spawn in an online game?

reply to this message

#11943: Re: ..

by Quin on 04/03/2009 06:11, refers to #11942

They currently support DM and plain CTF only for the moment. Don't think online has been tested (thoroughly or at all?) - keep in mind the port is still a work in progress.
