Re: Bugs in release 2.1
 

OK - now I see my mistake - I should put bots to the game with the same personality and different skill - in this case maybe I can see something, but if there is some extra aiming code added - I can't see the differences. So as result I can see this is not fixed (because I don't know if this is skill level problem or extra aiming code problem - how can I check this?). AIM_OFFSET should work like propability of hit in the range specyfied in AIM_OFFSET - this means if bot is trying to hit me it should try shoot to this range. But if I see it shoot me and kill me by headhot much more oftenn than I suppose this - for me this is not working. OK - don't forget about SF priority TO_DO_LIST and some bugs making server unstable - like this NUM_FOR_EDICT. This is much more important and we can go back to tests with botskills parameters in the future - when You have a time and other much more problems will be fixed.
Thanks for Your patience for me.http://forums.bots-united.com/images/icons/icon5.gif

Re: Bugs in release 2.1
 

try putting all the AIM_OFFSETs at 1000...
you WILL see the difference...
in previous versions the AIM_OFFSET was ignored completely.
probably even in 2.5

also play around with the turning speeds...
the stupid bots seem to turn "smoother" because they got such a low turn speed..
if you increased them all to 50 or so it would seem like they turn around in an instant.

[edit]
btw if soulfather ever reads this...
your todo list is outdated :D
a few of those things are already done.
such as the weapon restrictions not working..
except jasonmode still has that bug where they might use a pistol.
that grenade throwing bug fix was already applied by pmb but thats not the problem that makes them throw it in the wrong direction.
botskill.cfg not working is fixed...
min/max bot works...
and i think thats it..

Re: Bugs in release 2.1
 

I said only "I can't see the differences between bot 20 and 100". I believe You that You load the value from botskill.cfg correctly, but I'm not sure if this is loaded correctly to different bots (one with skill 10 another with skill 100) - for me they was shooting me and them-self without differences. Maybe some other part of code is responsible for this result that I can see. Maybe I should really incrase the AIM_OFFSET for stupid bots to see the difference. OK , this evening I'll try this - after I'll write the results once again.

BTW - it was me - I was found this AIM_OFFSET ignored completly in PB26. In PB25 it was loaded but for sure was not working correctly whole parameters from botskill.cfg .

About this turning - yes I know this - it was me I posted this 2 years ago at nuclearbox how to interprate this parameter. Because of this I tryied low value for example 1.2 - if fps_max is 50 , in this case during one second bot can turn 60 degrees. But now I'm not sure about this "frame" in CountFlyd's description:

MIN/MAX_TURNSPEED is the number of Degrees allowed to turn in 1 Frame.

Maybe the frame is meaning frame of data send to bot-client from server? Or maybe however this is according to fps for screen? Who knows this?


Yes - there are some ideas accepted even by PMB, some of their are now even made by You (for example this kicking bot from selected team - it's working OK http://forums.bots-united.com/images/icons/icon8.gif) - but this post-thread is not updated. OK - maybe he is now busy - he made big work for testing new dll and re-waypointing standard maps and probably for non-standard now he do the same. OK - don't stress him now. For this only me - I have a license . http://forums.bots-united.com/images/icons/icon8.gifhttp://forums.bots-united.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
He asked coders to write in this his post what is fixed. I don't know exactly how can You change his post? Additionally the thread is closed...Maybe simply write to PMB post-message with list what is fixed and what is new to fix and ask PMB to update this list by him - he probably can do this.

Re: Bugs in release 2.1
 

A frame is one pass of the game loop cycle. It is how often the server "thinks". On a listen server it corresponds to a video frame on the server. On a dedicated server it corresponds to the fps value that is displayed in the server console.

Re: Bugs in release 2.1
 

Like I promised before - I tryied these parameters from botskill.cfg. Tests duration time - about 6h. I 've tryied reversed and normal order of parameters in this botskill.cfg.

The first attachement is a screenshot after 2h tests.

Because I saw that in this reversed order bots with skill 10 have almost the same behavior like bots with skill 100 (almost the same results at scoreboard), I changed the order of parameters to normal (like in original file from sPlOrYgOn - only value are different) - and it was test number 3 and You can see the cfg here and there is a third screenshot after this test.

============================================

Because bots with skill 100 and 90 have almost the same behavior (almost the same frags' results) - I 've changed for bots with skill 100 the min_max trurnspeed like in original sPlOrYgOn file. This was without any tests but You can try now at Your computers (if You have time). Don't forget to change min/max botskill parameters in podbot.cfg file if You want to compare for example bots with skill 30 to bot with skill 85.

Here is my recommend to use botskill.cfg file:

Try this and say if this is working for all - if now all people can see the differences between all ranges of botskill , maybe I will ask to sPlOrYgOn to include this cfg to the next release.
sPlOrYgOn,these parameters are really working!!! :)

Nice game for all! http://forums.bots-united.com/images/icons/icon5.gif


BTW - It's 2:33AM and it's big time for sleep . I'm realy tired now. 8)

Re: Bugs in release 2.1
 

first off...
test 1 and 2 are invalid..
SEEN_SHOOTTHRU MUST be last...
and that final config's aim offsets are too huge...
you must have a headache after looking at them aiming...
they higher the values the more they "shake".
and how slow do normal people turn???
thats way too slow...
You'll end up with a lot of bots facing the wrong way when rushing out...
once again the AIM OFFSETS are too big..
have you seen them trying to aim long range?
even with an AIMOFFSET of 80 each they will almost never hit the other person from one side of the underpass in de_dust to the other side...

thats about all i have to say...

Re: Bugs in release 2.1
 

OK - forget about these two tests - i ve tryied according to order of parameters found by me in Your podbot_mm.dll . If You said that this is incorrect - OK. Never use the reversed order of these parameters.

Botskill 0-19 have to be for begginers, so this one have to be really slowly and with very bad aim. The next skills are bit better until to perfect (godlike) bot with skill 100. Like I said before - playing with Your botskill.cfg file I didn't see the difference between bot 20 and bot 100 after half hour of game with them. And because of this I made all these tests and I show the results. I know - now You are a godlike player in this game, so You don't care about begginers, but You want the bot have to be perfect with skill 100. But for beginners this bot have to be really slowly and with really bad aim.

OK - wait for reply from other users.;)

EDIT

BTW - have You looked at these screenshots? There is an answer if these value are really too big for all botskill ranges.;)

/EDIT

Re: Bugs in release 2.1
 

I don't think you understand how badly they aim with over 100 offset...
It's really really horrible..
you can almost expect not to be hurt..

Re: Bugs in release 2.1
 

Try to understand one thing - the game it's not only a camping from long distance. The game is trying to hit an enemy in the movement from low distance, too. And for this these big values are OK - for beginners and for people wanted change their skill step by step - not from beginners directly to almost godlike.
Maybe is better when You try as a spectator the game with my parameters?

OK - this is Your point of view - I'm waiting for reply of users.;)

Re: Bugs in release 2.1
 

Who ever said you had to camp to be at long range???
have you tried these settings with awp_map?

[edit]
my baby brother plays better than the bots with 80-99 skill level with you cfg...
