Alrighty, I finished my first bot release for cube :)
Its based on the latstes cube(2004_05_04).

Current features:
- Bots will use all the available weapons.
- Simple, waypointless, navigation.
- Bots should be able to play all gamemodes and shouldn't shoot at team mates :-)
- You can add bots in DMSP, bots will attack the monsters and monsters will attack bots.
When there are bots in a DMSP game, it won't restart when you die.
- When a bot doesn't have an enemy he will search for entities like ammo, teleporters and jumppads.
- Windows and Linux support.

Site(which contains a download link):
http://cube-bots.cjb.cc/

Its pretty basic at the moment but thats where a first release if for :)
If you have any questions/suggestions or bugs please lemme know.

I can open my wibsite without any problems...Well here is the download link(its hosted somewhere else):
http://www.home.zonnet.nl/vantol3/files/cube_bot.tar

And they won't navigate with waypoints(yet). Mayble i'll make support for that later.
For the ATI stuff; I think about changing that it won't use open-gl at all for detecting where you aim at, so this should fix it.

by e:n:i:g:m:a on 10/14/2004 20:01, refers to #22

Oh yeah, I'd be glad to test it if you add an ati patch. I believe you need to multiply something by 256...

I don't know, Aard needs to reply his mail :)
Currently I have a fix though, but it doesn't work if you completely aim up or completely aim down....

#25: ATI driver fix

by arghvark on 10/14/2004 21:01

I think changing the depthcorrect function in renderextras.cpp to:

float depthcorrect(float d)

{

return (d<=1/256.0f) ? d*256 : d;

};

works, atleast it worked for verbal ;)

Cool, thanx :-)
I don't think it will make any difference for the cards/drivers that won't need this?

Try add 30 bots at the same time.

In a small level.

That is fun. Especially in teamplay modes.

#33: Very good!

by eZ-lokirulez on 11/02/2004 19:21

The Bots seem to work very cool, thanks so far!

I think for most people it would be very nice if you could add some skill levels as already written above.

Hope to see some new releases,

I wonder if this would work with Quad?

#35: developement?

by Kiney on 12/02/2004 20:52

ist it still developed or will 0.1 be the only release... because it's still some kind of "stupid"(it knows how to shoot, but not how to think)

I'm still busy with it, just not that hard :)
But I impletent waypoint support and (A*) pathfinding. I also created skill support and fixed a few bugs. Skills and navigation need to be tweaked though.

...for improving it.

#38: blah

by staffy2000 on 12/04/2004 10:59

this is what i would add/what you might have already put in:

-a reaction time of 0.35 secs for the bots
-70% accuracy or something like it
-bots that "cover" each other in team matches
-If a bot gets ammo it should ignore that kind of ammo for the next 10 seconds.
-bots should ignore players that are too far away
-bots should dodge/jump when shot at
-If the bot's only weapon is the fist it should make looking for ammo its priority
-bots should rocket jump to get quads and the 150 armor if normal jumping doesn't work (only if health is x so they don't suicide).
-bots should have a weapon preferance depending on the distance they are from the player or other bot.
-bots shouldn't be able to "see" behind them properly
-more names for bots :)
-bots should "keep their distance" kind of
-bots should not go into water unless they need to.

this is a long list. don't take much notice of it. ;)
