Fritzbot release date set!
 

I'm just about done now, and am confident in giving a definite release date.

Set your calenders for Monday, Feb 14. :)

Fritz will have objective support, with MP_BEACH being the first map supported. Fritz will play all classes and use/understand all weapons. Theres a lot more to see and do, but you'll have to wait to play it. ;)

Cheers!

nice .. i'd anyway stick to 'when it's done' as release date, is less stress for the developer :)

Re: Fritzbot release date set!
 

putting release dates... aaahhh... that guy is crazy!

Re: Fritzbot release date set!
 

LOL!

Well, considering that I AM releasing it "when its done", which it is, I don't consider the date thing to be bad - just a tease. :P

Excellent, thanks for the heads up Mal, Can't wait to checkout the objective support, reading the phase three progress thread made my mouth water, lol. :)

To Maleficus

I hope your bots can spawn kill... or else I will tear them a new one :P

Re: Fritzbot release date set!
 

Well, I've added a pretty good default bot config that shows most of the bots talents and abilities. Theres still a lot to do: some of the classes are totally done, and some are MOSTLY done, but you'll see every class and weapon and ability used - often more intelligently then your average pub server player.

I'm not going to tell you all of what you'll see - I'll let you see that for yourself, but you will have a LOT of fun with these guys now. :)

I'll drop by to whine if I get pwned by a bot by a sneak attack knife.

Sweet. I ordered a new copy of RtCW Platinum... it should arrive before the 14th. :D

Re: Fritzbot release date set!
 

Will there be waypointing support this release mal?

Re: Fritzbot release date set!
 

Nope. :(

Its a mess: console only cmds, no menu interface, etc. And I'm still tweaking it everyday.

The only visual component is the code that will draw the nodes and their connections for you, and its very basic, you have to go thru the console to get in depth info.

I'm goint to work on adding some polish to the bots themselves, the UI and the menu system, as well as the scripting system, next version. That next version will be the first "BETA".

This current release is still going to be "ALPHA", so its going to have some warts. :) ;)

This does not mean that you will have to wait tho - I plan on involving you and The Ghost with the next release before its official public release, so stay tuned! :D
