Lach Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 For sabor only servers, or even when your playing alone. How about an option so that if your sabor is off, the bot wont choose you(or any player or bot with the sabor down) as a target to attack? This is of course HIGHLY abusable, but I'd love it for playing against just bots, and im sure there are servers where people can be trusted to not abuse it(you could attack comp, turn off sabor, lightning etc.... though perhaps this could be countered by a "if target attacked you in last 30 seconds then kill em sabor down or not"?

StormHammer Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 As if we didn't have enough of this 'honour' stuff online as it is...now you want it for 'bots'? When I get JA, I'll be doing one thing in MP...killing anything that moves. No bows, no saber off, no kissing or dancing with daisies...just racking up kills. The way it was designed to be played, and the way I choose to play. So no...I'd hate to see an 'honour code' programmed into the bots. Smarter bots, certainly...bots that don't jump off walkways to oblivion and end up with huge minus scores in team games...bots that know what a vehicle is and how to use it while you man a gun on the back, or something. Yes. Better pathfinding, better AI...better everything. But no honour codes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK | unnamed Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 acutally as silly as this sounds, we already have it. FU! server (forgot server ip, just search it by name) has bots that will not attack unless you do and they will even accept duels ("press K"). One of the admins I was talking to one night mentioned it had something to do with the jedi academy mod or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Wan X Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I will admit that if a respected oponent bows to me before a duel starts, I will return the bow at times. But I don't always, and I will NOT kill anyone who stops to chat for some period of a time, turning his saber off and having a chatbox over his head. But if I see some fool running around with saber off or shutting it down in the middle of the fight because he's going to lose, i'll take them out. Really...honor codes or extremely stupid. I do NOT believe in killing people that are afk, or people standing in the corner, saber off carrying on a conversation with someone. But thats pretty much where my "honor" ends. JA needs no programmed honor code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay then, you should be able to respect the way that he wants to play the game too. He's not forcing it on you, he's just bringing something up. Anyway, yea I actually thought of that a week or two ago... what it would be like for bots to have "honor". Giving them honor would make them seem (for obvious reasons) more intelligent because that's how most people play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightsaberboy Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 i actually enjoy playing with bots more sometimes because they just go and kill anything that moves, like what you're supposed to do, instead of standing around playing with emotes.

Khaza Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Can't people learn from their mistakes ? Can't you remember that JO gameplay was totaly destroyed by all these "great" ideas/rules. Like many people said above, NO HONOR CODES ! Let's just try to play game as it's mean to be played... ok ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Solar Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 No offense but this has got to be the worst idea ever. It's just....so dumb on so many levels that...argh! It's like "let's make the dumbest thing in history of online computer gaming become the norm of even BOTS so that there is no way you could actually PLAY the game anymore" Seriously, I'm curious. What on earth would be the point of this? That you could turn off your saber in mid-fight and thus never ever lose to a bot? And having it as an "option" means nothing. Kids who use that OPTION will bitch and moan and whine about it against real people, I guarantee you that. Retarded honour codes have destroyed JO for us people. Let's not destroy JA for bots. They have a right to play and have fun too, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to understand that the way they play isn't "the way the game was meant to be played" and neither is ours. It's however you want to play, don't listen to anyone else.

boinga1 Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Look, name 5 servers that will use "base" Jedi Academy (no mods, no emotes) and NO honourable bot option in FFA. Right now, about 1-2 FFA servers can be found using NO MODS. The only place to be truly free of RPG H0N0UR4BL3 players is in base JO. No option. Too many servers would use it. Too many CTF games would be messed up. Imagine, you and your freind decide to play CTF against each other, with bots as teammates. He uses this option, you don't know it. He is able to turn off his saber and run, unharmed through your base, taking your flag, and returning. You have gone to his base, but the 10 Jedi Master level temamtes take you out. While you respawn and go after him, he has already taken the lead. This "OPTION" would be nothing but an often-exploited feature that would ruin a MP experience that is already awful. Besides, what fool ever tried to get a bot to understand "H0N0UR", or bowed to a bot before a fight? BTW, we're not insulting Lach. We're insulting the many, many, fools out there who...well, you probably know what they do and what they will do with an option like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I'd only want an option for "honourable" bots if there was also an option to make everyone online play the actual gametype with no stupid "honour code". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Blackrose Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 When they die, will the bots go, "OMG, YOU DIDN'T BOW! I'M TELLING AN ADMIN!" or "SABR DOWN IS PEACE, N00B!"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Wan X Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I don't even want to ponder bowing to a bot. Every once in a blue moon while playing JO multiplayer by myself, i'll actually say " NEWBS!!!" after I capture their flags. Intoxication could indeed be why , but isn't talking to a bot that doesn't respond just as foolish as giving honor to one? I don't play through JO SP and bow to reborns, or to Desann. Or scream at my computer saying saber down. Honor codes really don't make sense imo Until Bots can carry on a full, intelligent conversation with me, show me real respect, and essentially act like any other guy online, I will not associate real life personalities with them.
