#1504: Cube Bot

by Steini on 05/20/2003 20:08

Hi out there :)

I began to write my little own bot for Cube. I saw some other codes from people who tried to do something like that and I realized, that everyone improved the monster AI. I tried to implement the bots like other players in Cube, so I looked closer to the server/client messages and finally 6.jpg where I startet a 'stress-test' to see how many bots can be placed in one map. (In this SS there are 256 bots....insanrealized how other players are managed in Cube. I was able to create bots which are threated like other player in Cube. Have look at a very silly scenario in shote *g)

Perhaps you realized, that the water is also lighten up or darkend like the walls. But this effect is only useful if you set water subdivide to 1 or at least 2...higher values will result in a strange looking water surface :)

So. I can proudly present you the new commands:
/addbot - adds a bot the the level
/removebot - removes one bot
/addbots n - adds n bots to the level
/removebots n - removes n bots from the map
/botchance 1..1000 - how accurate the bots aim...(1 is VERY GOOD!!!!!, 1000 is a lame bot *g)

At least I've still binaries because the code is still a mess :)

Ther's a .exe for Windows and also a cube-client executable for Linux :)

Have a try and tell me what you're thinking....(ok...the bot AI is still VERY LAME!)

Also the bots will only work on instagib match...keep this in mind :)

Sorry my browser corrupted the message a bit :)

All I wanted to say in the first paragraph was, that I worte the bot like an other client that connects to your Cube. :)

Look at shot6.jpg where I tested 256 bots on one map (tartech) :)

well i like it and all but the thing is that sometimes you dont want fog and there has to be a way for the mapper to get th choose the color if he wants it or not becuase if its an outdoor map or something it looks like shit but all in all it rocks

#1510: cube soundtrack

try that... will most likely be included in the next cube release. Yes it will add 9 megs, but damn its good.

There's a command for choosing the fog color. If you create a .cfg for the map you can choose the fogcolor :)
Currently I'm also planning to include commands to disable/enable fog at all. Sometimes in indoor maps fogs looks a bit silly *g

btw. the new oggs for Cube sounds GREAT :) That is really a reason not to download my Music Pack *g

hey,

Steini, what does *g means ? I thought it was a smiley but I can't find what it is :)

About the fog, I suppose you are talking about your personnal Cube distribution, no ?

What about implementing something like that in the 'real' Cube ?

See you

+9 megs... please, no! Think about us poor souls who still use dial-up connection!

Seconded again for dial-up merchants!

You could do two distros of course; with/without music :)

#1517: Standing on my head

by spentron-oatmeal on 05/21/2003 21:40

9 MB is not much actually, although it could scare some. Now, 160 MB on dialup is complicated. Don't try this without a download manager.

OTOH, I was considering a Cube pack with only my maps and the minimum required for them, and this may provide a justification.

Maybe you should provide 2 Cube distribs... One with musics, one without...

#1520: No Pity For The Dial-up

by pushplay on 05/22/2003 01:38

9 megs isn't a high price to pay for good music. Especially music that kicks this much ass.

"Cube is a game copyrighted by GPL."
I think Microsoft might actually have a point about GPL being like a virus. It keeps trying to relicense Cube. :)

oh cmon, 9 megs on dialup is like half an hour, is that so much for a game that you like? esp since it only happens every few months.

2 distros just complicates matters, I'd rather avoid it.
