NS bots dont climb walls, web or fly, some even dont know how to use ladders.
They have 0 Teamwork, Strategy or advanced intelligence.
I know 3 different bots.

UnderDOG · April 2003

hehe yeahseems they would be pretty hard to make

clamatius · April 2003

We have a bot in alpha (WhichBot) that does climb walls, and does have (at least some) advanced strategy.

Here's the release link:

RCBot has more features, but isn't as challenging to play against (I think, although I'm biased <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>).

ohh that's a good argument for not looking through the sticky..... hmm or maybe it's not.
I wonder why they made it sticky, i have this crazy idea that they made it sticky so that more people would READ it. DOOOH

Woah, why not say: "Can I have a temp ban?"

UnderDOG · April 2003

guys, the stickied bot thread is 40 pages, 591 replies long as of this post. if all you want is a link to a good up to date bot and not random updates, opinions, spam, flames, etc, etc it's not particulalrly fun to look through. IMHO there should be a locked stickied bot thread that is only updated when a new bot is released or a previous one is updated and that hulking behemoth can be released back into the wild

damn yah doOd just look up at the top of the forum theres the a lot of info there

Kenichi · April 2003

Give it a few more months. As it stands none of the bots are intelligent enough, nor skilled enough to give you even a decent challenege to practice with.

clamatius · April 2003

Kenichi, have you tried playing against our bot (WhichBot)?

We've found that with just 1 or 2 human players on the alien side, there's a reasonable level of challenge for moderate-level players, and a tough challenge for beginner players. Right now the bot is still in alpha, and is going to get a lot better (hopefully).

Marines still have an advantage, but... marines have an advantage in 1.04, and there's not a lot we can do about that.

Kenichi · April 2003

I will definitly give yours a shot to see how the difficulty is, the RCBot left me hanging greatly in that department. It's "skilled" players were horrible.

Kenichi · April 2003

awww man its metamod, that means i have to go through the crap to install that first. Ugggg there goes testing it on a simple lan server.

clamatius · April 2003

We have a downloadable that includes metamod.

Download it, and update the liblist.gam to point to metamod.dll instead of ns.dll, and that's it.

See, I thought of that <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
