    Command? Bots?
    They can't even more around the map independently.
    They can shoot (sometimes) and they obey your move orders but that's pretty much about it.
    They're useful when testing mods and i guess in development too but add nothing to the game for players.

    hehe The bots are pretty worthless. The spawn, then just run into a wall constantly. But if you get near an enemy alien bot, they will attack. They are good for testing purposes, but that's about it.

    The bots are just there for us to test. The hooks are all there to make bots that actually play, so perhaps we'll see some from a talented community member.

    Well, deciding to go for a beta now.
    Just thinking it would be nice to have something that even with only 2 or 3 players, they still can enjoy strategy side of the NS world.
    Or a marine team practice defense/assault setting against alien, vice versa.

    That sounds pretty nice and promising, thanks a lot for a great game to be.

    can anyone look at this ?
    - just test if it works for him (on another machine not only on mine)
    - or look at code, if I don't miss something (or use something what is forbidden :) )

    Don't mean to necro-post, but after getting NS2, I'm really looking forward to seeing if there is anyone working on waypointing now for this? Thanks.

    There was some active development on bots not too long ago, where Flayra basically said they want the community to do up some bots (because UWE didn't have the bandwidth), and if they got something good they'd include it in the game itself (and presumably pay for it). However, there were some big changes that broke the in-development bots, and so they all got put on hold until the game stabilized.

    Presumably we'll see development pick up again now that the game is past 1.0.

    Thanks Guspaz. Real happy to see the bots are at least coded in (server console "addbot") so I guess it's just a matter of waypointing. Lag is killing me online.
