<div class="IPBDescription">Something like Pod Bot for CS.</div> I'm running on DSL through AOL, and it's a 512k connection, yet I can't join any games (my ping is over 3000, so it says when I play UT2003 demo).

So my only hope to play this awesome games is against a CPU. I D/Led Pod Bot to use with CS, but are there any bot programs for NS?

    like he said. its in general discussion webbed at top. its still in beta stages so its not final yet but its good enough i guess if you want to practice commanding. but its also good if you want to get the feel of a certain map. btw have any of you tested WhoBot. the alien side only. im gonna get it as long as i know that the whole alien team wont go gorge and ruin the game. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> p.s. post the main link cause i lost it

    I haven't tested it, but the link is <a href='http://whichbot.sourceforge.net' target='_blank'>here</a>.

    P.S. It's actually WhichBot. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I guess bots for practice is a good idea, but I really like the teamwork aspect of the game, it gives me an edge over the self-righteous cs-junkies who go rambo all the time (who aren't very fun to play either.....)

    One idea for our bot (WhichBot) is to provide games for groups of friends who want to play together, but don't have enough people for a big game.

    We've found using the bot to play most of the alien team actually ends up giving you much more teamwork-type play on the marine team.

    wow... whichbot is very impressive as skulks (since thats all they have). theres two things though. they need to know priority buildings. such as they attacked RT before IP. and they need difficulty settings. i had 4v1 (me as one) and they all rushed in and para'd me to death. lol but i cant wait to see the full version. maybe you should do lerk bots when 1.1 comes due to they are makin a better flight model. also you should get onos because when u have fades it doesnt mean you always win so i highly suggest gettin onos "programed" or whatever word u use. otherwise great job

    pfft, the best bot ever is RCbot for ns. i know the maker personally, and the bots themselves ROCK.
    support for both teams, the bots can also command adequately (although they build at every rt and like protolabs too much imho <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ) also, full alien evolve/gorg support. this man. is. a genius.

    you can find them at <a href='http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pat.murphy/rcbot/' target='_blank'>http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pat.murphy/rcbot/</a>
    (copy it into your browser if it doesnt work <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
    anyway, these bots also give you adminmod like commands (force grip, hugely amusing.) so enjoy! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I've played a few sessions with these bots and I must say that they Rambo even worse than real players. Bah - instant uninstall.
  • Iced_EagleIced_Eagle Borg Engineer Join Date: 2003-03-02 Member: 14218Members
    well they sux right now but i cant wait for real versions <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> wow the k00lness... and i hope the auto waypointing gets better soon too

    Ulysses, if you were talking about WhichBot, I think you'll be more interested in v0.3 (which should be out soon). We added a WolfPack strategy to the bots - the effect is that a bunch of them hunt in packs, while the rest scout and attack marine buildings independently.
  • Brave_UlyssesBrave_Ulysses Join Date: 2003-04-28 Member: 15922Members
    Sounds innarestin' - but I actually meant that RocketCrowbot - or whatever you call it. You can comm a load of marines. But they rambo worse than real players and stand around repeatedly shouting: "I don't see a rs tower at south loop!" and so on.
  • clamatiusclamatius Join Date: 2003-03-27 Member: 14948Members, Constellation
    Speaking of WhichBot v0.3, it was just released.

    <b>bot_wait_for_orders 1</b> should stop RCbots from ramboing, though I haven't tried it.
