is lightninja still alive?
 

Hello,
nearly two months ago lighninja said in his site that the new release is nearing completion, now so much time passed without a single update (even not any news update on his site). I sent him 2 mails previously and still got no reply :( I guess he is busy and having some problems in his real life, and I cannot make any comments on that; he does this stuff in his spare time and he doesn't have to do it. He does not have a responsibility to anybody. However, I like this bot and want to see it developed. It is the public who will enhance it even further when lightninja himself is not able to work on it. I myself am not involved in bot coding and HL SDK in particular, but i believe there is something i can, or other guys out there can do to help this bot become even better. So, MarD: I'm pretty sure that you will reply to this thread and i think you are the only one who can get in contact with him. Would he consider releasing the source? or at least, when will he work on his bot again?

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

give him time, and in the end if he doesn't want to continue, he'll most likely let us devoted fans know :D

all we can do i wait i guess... i've bin doin it since the last release and many other have 2... :P.

so i guess u'll have to do the same :D

Heyyo,

As you guessed, ThE MarD responds... lmao, :P

Yeah, he's been busy, but he still works onnit every once in a while. He really wants his new personality system to work to perfection before releasing the bot.

I'll ask him in my next e-mail to him how's the bot codin' goin', and he said he wanted me to do smmore' waypoints, so I'll ask him if he has a few maps to waypoint.

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

well, we know that he is alive,(thank god) but is very hard for him to tell us when the next part is going to be released, and how the bot is progresing?

Heyyo,

Heh, I havn't heard from LN for a damn long time... almost a 3 months minimum now?

I'll try to mail him again n' see what's he up to n' how the bot's going...

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

thanks

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

and, did he reply(is reply or answer?) at you?

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

Heyyo,


nothin' yet... I'll try sending an e-mail to both his addresses...

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :( :( :( :(

i hope he is really still alive

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

oh! this really give me the creeps???:( :'( >:( :| :( :'(

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

Heyyo,

Yeah, he won't respond to my e-mails either... I think he's left the CS bot coding without leavin the source code behind... I wonder if PODbot v2.6mm is looking for another official waypointer. lol... ;)

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

I was always wondering if someone could waypoint as_highrise for pb2.6mm :D
and whatever happen to http://www.fusion-games.net/ ?

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

Heyyo,

AS_Highrise eh? done deal man! :)

now, I just have to learn the waypoint commands for PODbot v2.6mm... I looked for a manual.. but you included the original PODbot v2.5 manuals without updating the commands to PODbot v2.6mm's new ones.... I'll just try adding pb infront of the ones I know. :P

[EDIT]
Heyyo,

Forgot to add why www.fusion-games.net is dead... yeah, dead. Fusion got a new bike, n' spent the site's budget on Doom3, n' decided that he's probably gonna be doing more biking than webdesigning, so he stopped paying the bills for it, n' yeah... so we lasted 2 months.... lol, pretty sad eh?

*Sighs* well, at least I still have my Freewebs site... heh, now I'm kindof happy I never changed my sigs to www.fusion-games.net, or I'd have to redo all my sigs for the different forums. :P

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

heyyo,

OK sPlOrYgOn! AS_Highrise for PODbot v2.6mm now available at my site! add it to the bots official release if ya want. Do with it as you please.

[EDIT]
Err... maybe I should've included the link eh? lol, sry bout that! it's www.freewebs.com/mard_lltd/ :)

I like the new waypointing system by soulfather n' austin btw, gj on that! :) But I wanna say that it's hard to get the little blue hat above the waypoints sometimes... maybe if you could create a little "aim here" line to show where you have to aim on the waypoint for the blue hat to appear.. cause sometimes to get that blue hat, you have to aim off the waypoint quite considerably...

Also, is there some special code you need to do for the classic waypoint console commands? (pathwaypoint add *insert wp number*, etc.)

Re: is lightninja still alive?
 

I think one would better take this discussion to the PB26mm forums now...
