In case you didnt know HiveMind is an alien AI for NS. Like whichbot, Hivemind uses it's programmed abilities to play as the alien team, enabling offline play.

This is Now The Official Thread.
You can visit the<a href='http://www.hivemind.zor.org' target='_blank'>HiveMind website (click here)</a> and post on our forums. Remember, if you are having trouble installing HiveMind 3.1, please look in
Hivemind website --> Forums --> General Discussion --> Hivemind 3.1 Suggestions/Feedback,
as it contains a guide for installing HiveMind 3.1 onto your copy of NS.

Please post your thoughts here, as well as on the HiveMind forums.

    Why did you put "Webbed:" in the thread title? It's a prefix that the forums automatically add when an admin webs a topic. If it were that easy to just web your own thread, the forums would be nothing but webbed threads.

    This historical thingy is only as accurate as my memory, but here goes:

    Originally, the maker of the WhichBot (clamatius) had a single thread that he'd post in each time an update was made. Like any other long thread, as it longer people got lazier about reading all the new posts before making a post of their own, so people were making statements and questions already addressed by new fixes they'd been too lazy to read about.
    To fix this, the new (now webbed) thread was made, and updates were edited into the first post rather than added to the end as a reply. However, editing the first post won't bump the thread up as a reply would. The easiest way to keep the latest version of an NS bot in view for new players looking for it was to web the thread.

    That said, there <i>is</i> an issue of fairness about having only one bot's thread webbed. Would it be possible for you (and by "you" I mean it towards the botmakers collectively, as in ModChaosControl, Clamatius, and Cheeseh) to arrange a single small thread for all three of you to use as a webbed "advertisement" of sorts?

    thats a really good idea, but the q. is, will the ns moderators do it?

    I think he said something about it being possible meaning yes they can do it.

    The fact that the suggestion came from one of our admins should answer that question <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    ive only had annoying results from users on whichbot.com NOT the actuall developers.

    is it possible for me to create a new topic entitled "HiveMind AI" and you to just "web" it?

    They wont do it.
