UniKorn Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 You can modify the ai files once the sdk is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 I've had a look through the resources, the bot stuff seems pretty simple to modify, there is one file with a list of all the bots, what model they use, what personality etc. Then there is a personality file for each bot which has their chat lines, responses to different situations etc. This is all in ascii format so is very easy to edit.

aVENGER Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Would it be possible to use the sp ai for certain characters, such as the reborn, desann, etc, for the corresponding bots in mp? I found that playing against the sp ai was more enjoyable than the regular bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff is easy, but the behavior of the bots : force powers they use etcetera can only be changed by changing the real code of the game. And that can only be done when the sdk is released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desslock Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 You can edit a bot's personality (force power usage and such) to where, for example, Luke is a Sith Lord like Desann, but other than that, not until the SDK is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 In order to add a bot, DO NOT MODIFY BOTS.TXT. I've seen a couple of bots which do this, and while it works, it creates incompatable bots, which leads to all sorts of questions asking why a bot won't show up. For example, if you were creating a vader bot, create a text file and rename it vader.bot. Place this text file in the scripts directory of you base directory, NOT botfiles (and so also in the scripts directory in the pk3). This text file should contain something similar: { name "Vader" model vader color1 0 personality /botfiles/Vader.jkb } name is the in-game name of the bot. model is the name of the direcory of the bot model. color1 is lightsaber color. 0 is red, 4 is blue, 3 is green, 5 is purple, and orange and yellow are 1 and 2, tho i cant remmeber which. personality is the bot personality file you created for this bot. You can include the details of more than one bot in a .bot script, but i find it easier to work this way. Hope this helps people and reduces incompatable bots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aVENGER Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 So for the bot script, can you just use the sp ai for the reborn or other jedi? Or is there a difference? The sp bot ai would be cool to have for Duel. However, can the sp bots deal with multiple enemies? In the game they only deal with you . . . Also, if it was possible to use the sp ai in mp, why wouldn't Raven just done that to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchx Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 i was checking out the ai files for Sp and bots and i think there really different there seems to be values in each of them that arent in the other for example and "evasion" value in SP that isnt in MP bots which sux because all i wanna do really is stop the bots from running away so much. you can alter there force power setup pretty easily though -patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
