monsoontide Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 Yes, I believe they do! QUOTE: The interesting thing about this is bot behavior regarding objectives. While you can't count on a bot to do something like, say, push a button, use a particular force power on something, manipulation items properly, etc., bots are actually fairly well-done! For each objective, (if attackers is set to '1') the bot will go find what targets the objective, find what targets that, etc., until it makes a list of OBJECTIVE SOURCES. These are things like breakable items, buttons, etc., that originally trigger objectives. It then picks one of these sources and attacks toward it. (If you've ever played one of Blizzards RTS's, you know what I mean. It moves toward its objective, while attacking all enemies it comes across.) I'm not sure how intelligent this system is, as I've never tested it on a bot-mapped map before. However, at the very least, the bots will try and hold the area AROUND the objective until someone bright enough to complete it comes along. If attackers is 0, the bots on your team show yet another spurt of intelligence. They do what they did if attackers was 1, except for the OTHER TEAM'S OBJECTIVES. Except instead of making an effort to complete the objective, they just try and keep the enemy away from the objective source. Pretty smart, eh?

monsoontide Posted October 15, 2002 Author Share Posted October 15, 2002 Which reminds me I'm going to work on updating the Bot Routing for this map to eliminate the clogging at the top and bottom of elevator shafts, so will have a small update for you ready by tomorrow at the latest.

Kengo Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I managed to get the red flag to near the blue base and I could swear one of the bots on my team kinda escorted me back the rest of the way to the blue flag...or he was just hoping I'd die and he could get an easy cap! Either way, very realistic behavoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Yes it's funny, I was playing SAGA today and since the bots for both teams are set to defend, I keep being killed by a Darth Vader who was lurking in the most unexpected places!

keo718 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Hey Monsoon, unbelievable work. I sent some feedback to your e-mail address. I'll send more soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padawan_7 Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 That's good news about the bots!!! I can't wait till your map is released monsoontide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 Hi Guys, I've placed an updated Botroute file on the server. Download it and replace the one in the pk3 file. (Be sure to make certain it goes in the right place i.e. botroutes/anchorheadnew.wnt) I tested it a bit and the bots seem to shoot at you from all directions now!!! I hope to have a map update for you later in the week to address the issues you have raised so far. Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kengo Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Ah, was offline last night, will be online tonight tho. What is time difference between pst and GMT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 I think it's about 8 hours! (I could be wrong though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 TESTERS Ther Will Be A New Updated PK3 file tonight. Check the BETA TESTING thread for more details. Thx, Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengo Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 I used to be in an Anglo-American TFC clan so time difference issues are something I've learned to live with, although the lag can be a pain Looking forward to that update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 Yeah... I'm on PST time so that's GMT minus 8hrs and I think SunBurn is Eastern time so I think that's GMT - 5hrs??? Not sure where everyone else is located, So co-ordinating may be a problem. Sigh! Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunBurN Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 I'm on PST time so that's GMT minus 8hrs and I think SunBurn is Eastern time so I think that's GMT - 5hrs??? No, actually I'm also on PST (pacific standard time) up in Seattle WA area. So Monsoontide and I should be on the same time. One of the other beta testers (mariners2001) is also PST and I think is also up here in the Seattle area. Anyways, last night I was having problems with being able to join games due to a ui/menus.txt error I kept getting whenever I tried to join a game. So I ended up reinstalling jedioutcast last night and I have to go back and get it all working again. So I don't think I'll be able to host tonight. It's looking like Friday night (probably late like around 11pm pst) would be a good time. I'll let you all know, and if that time doesn't work, then maybe we can all coordinate some time over the weekend. Talk with you all soon, SunBurN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 Sorry! My I'm still learning my US geography! Damn foreigners ;-) (I'm from New Zealand - Living in LA now !sigh! LA has not been kind) Monsoontide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Judge Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Hehh I'm in Hungary. CEST (Central European Summer Time) is here, so it's GMT+1 and +1 because of the summer time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengo Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 I used to live in Auckland From the point of view of us Europeans maybe later is actually better, as 11pm pst is actually 7am GMT I think, so we'd just have to get up early instead of staying up all night With the bot routes having been improved and updated though, perhaps having a big online trial of the map with people isn't really so neccesary, but it would still be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonkish Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I wonder if it'd be possible to get a beta of this, as I'm supremely interested in the SAGA gametype, at the very least from a mapping standpoint.. would that be possible? Specs: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 512mb DDR RAM GeForce 3 Cable (i.e., 20mb = no problem) I'm also a mapper, so, I could hopefully both learn from this and help you out (in a testing format) with the nitpicky little things that I (from experience) really despise doing. (I shall destroy thee, hint brushes..) I really hope that the SAGA gametype evolves into a fullscale mod-type..thing.. as it sounds extremely interesting. If you so desire, send the file to gonk@manaforge.com (as gonk@swgalaxies.net isn't working currently ) [edit: Email added] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
