many people don't like to play with bots... because after a short time they are to

bad for soldat players...

so i thought about how to give the bots some kind of intelligenty.
maybe every bot should have a kind of a memory:
at the end of the bot files:

so u play a map(4bot unknown) and they remember were they pick up medis, nades,

bonuses, were they killed most people...


<*.bot file>
[BOT]
Name=Admiral
Color1=$00E253EE
Color2=$00394F48
Skin_Color=$00796938
Hair_Color=$005336F5
...
----
Arena
Nades="23,23;56,32;67,34;..."
Medis="56,78;32,96;46,23;..."
...
Best_Score="34,56,78,89,.."
---
..
<end *.bot file>



if a bot is near a nade point he remember he go to it to get nades (maybe u can

make bots to 'see' the nades just hang out a little massage for the bots wich says:

"hey u, here are some nades, get them", so he deosnt run there without getting any

nades). the same thing for medis, here they have to know
that they have low health for example, and there is no enemy so go to the next

point u know nades are :)



in ctf maps the bot make his own waypoints. everything he need to know is in wich

direction the enemys flag is. when he can't come closer to the flag he trys all

things wich are there (jump, fly...) he also save this information. so after a

while u got bots that are a little intelligent.
and the only thing it need to is to allow bots to read and save coordinates or/and

area information.



<*.bot file with ctf informations>
[Bot]
...
----
ctf_Run
Nades="..."
...
Waypoint="74,32-78,39:fly,up,right;..."
...
<end *.bot file>



i think its enought at first... it'll be a big change but one i think make soldier better...



please give ur feedback to this... but not something like "not able to realize" i know there is a way...
if u dont like it make me to know why, not only '[IMAGE]ing idia', 'dont like it.' that deosnt help anyone.

It's probably not that simple to work it out.

this will just make them more predictable IMHO... if you tell them to go for nade boxes, then you will be able to predict what they are doing more... unless you built in a whole random system

a unreal-tournament bot command style would be easier

i think it would make it better if it was like stick soldiers. the bots in that game have AI and sometimes do things you would think of.

i got to "so i thought"

Paramud, if you didn't read it, don't spam the thread. You have a very annoying habit of telling us all about how you didn't read anything in a thread.

SilentPark, I believe what you're suggesting would be like a toned down version of the CS bots. Great idea, but in order to work properly it would need a lot more elements.

It would be a hard work to do

hmm what is usefull to do... go on thinking about this...
or is this idea with no chance ;)

im brimming with ideas for bots, and how to code them, though i dont know much about the code michal uses. my mind's to stubborn to learn it :P
but yea, ive made a couple lists, maybe posted some, i forgot

Ut oh... I can just imagine bots t aking over the world because they are smarter!! Haven't you ever read Isaac Asimov?
Well, that'd be a cool idea. Only downside to bots is they don't rely on visuals... They see campers and camo does no good.
