Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Its ready and available. :D

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Great! Time to get to work. :D

Just a note, at any given time you can find out which maps i'm waypointing by looking in my signature.

Thanks Mal.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

okay , got it !! have to dig into it next week. I'm going to the beach for a few days.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

OK guys - updated guide.

The cmd "action_forever" is incorrect - its actually "action_active". My bad.

Also, a bug fix: if your teammates picked up a dropped OBJ, the goal tracker is mistakenly incrementing. This is fixed now, and a new DL link will be posted.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Patch is up!

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Another patch up!

This fixes the bug of non-eng teammates jumping on the dynamite, thinking they can somehow defuse it! :P

Hopefully now that you guys are focusing on the paths, I can now focus on the AI again and get more frequent updates out, instead of this once every 3 months nonsense. :D

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Updated guide - in the warnings section, about where to place mg42 actions.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Updated guide, in the warnins section some tips about actions and drawing nodes.

Uploaded new patch - fixes a bot awareness issue I overlooked in last nights patch for dropped docs/objs

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Another patch - which ever team that had the docs, the bots on that team would cluster around the deliever action and ignore any other actions you set.

Thats fixed - the carrier will ALWAYS just run for the deliver action, but its teammates can now camp, roam, etc just like normal.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

A small patch - fixes minor disarming dynamite issue.


Question: do you guys prefer me releasing small, quick patches for the bugs you point out, or would you rather get them every week or so?

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

I like the small quick patches :)

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Kewl - because heres another for your downloading pleasure. :)

This one adds the "action_ent" console cmd so that you can change an actions entity number.

Updated the guide to reflect this new cmd.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

I also like the quick patches, small, easy to install and download.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

How it looks with an earlier, 'small' release of one or two maps before the real update will be released? :o That may makes the waiting half so bad :|

...I can't wait any longer...:'(

It's only an idear;)

A Fan of Fritzbot from the other side of the globe:D

Ps: sorry for my stupid english

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Like a beta tester?

But you do know what they say, "good things come to those who wait" :D

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

A beta-tester ? 8o ..ähm :| yes, of course ... would be a great honor for me to help the project going on 9_9 :D

Wisly! Yes! But I read it will take three or four weeks till next version will be released - so when I have to get back on my timeintensive work again:'(

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Don't get me wrong, but i was wondering if that's what you meant by a test release or whatever, i didn't want to imply that Fritz could use beta testers or any of that. That's all up to Maleficus, i'm just a waypointer.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

SeraphimOM:

Thanks for the offer of beta testing, but at the moment, I'm still working out the bugs in the path system, that the waypointers are finding. I'm also adding new features as they need them.

Thats what all these small patches are about. Theres a lot to do yet, before they're ready, and the AI is ready, thats why I figured it will take probably 3-4 weeks.

I'm glad your excited to see the next Fritzbot - I'm excited too! :D

Get the word out - FritzBot is coming. :)

Cheers!

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Updated guide with new warnings section, about action limitations and paths.

A definate read! :D

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Hey, it's all OK, that sounds good to me8) Somtimes it's only my english;)

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Updated the guide - the last warnings section, about adding bots to your cfgs when you release your map.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

That's a really good idea with the random bots, i updated the Castle config to have a few random bots. I didn't know we could do that before, but now i'm gonna do it from now on. Thanks Mal. :D

P.S.-Do you mind if we call you Mal? I never really asked before, lol.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Nah, I don't mind. :)


Another patch up - this fixes several movement issues that were seen on MP_CASTLE and TE_FROSTBITE.

CrapShoot: they should work fine on any custom map now, check it out and let me know for sure.

Also solves a problem teammates were having when they visit an enemy dynamite. Plus a couple other small fixes I can't remember ATM. :D

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Nice. Looks good on frostbite so far.

I'll see about some other maps.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

New patch up!

This one adds a new conditional to the script system: letting you modify the script based on whether or not the obj was taken, or returned.

READ the info in the guide VERY carefully and make sure you understand it - its very specific.

ALSO - there is a new cvar: "bot_nightmare" <0/1>

By default this is 0. If you set this to 1, no matter what skill setting the bot is at, they will be extra deadly with their aim (WITHOUT being aim bots - or so I hope, you guys need to test this and let me know if its too much). This overrides the normal aiming skill of each bot skill (i.e. you could have stupid skill 1 bots who shoot like pros).

Play with it and let me know what you think.



Cheers!

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

okay, so i am having major CPU problems right now, so i think it's best to let somebody else take over the four maps i wanted to do and just work on customs once i get this worked out with my computer. i don't want to hold things up and it could be well over a month until this is fixed. so mp_assault, mp_base, mp_chateau & mp_depot are up for grabs. i know they're in good hands. this couldn't have happened at a worse time. my apologies.:(

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

That's alright Ghost, i mean it's beyond you're control. What kind of CPU troubles are you having, like overheating? Maybe i could offer some assistance.

In any case, i'll take mp_depot and mp_chateau. I'll wait until last to do these just in case you get stuff working early and want to waypoint those maps or whatever.

Keep us informed on any new developments and future maps you're waypointing or whatnot, and i hope you get that CPU thing all settled.

@Mal

I'll give it a look through and let you know what i think. I say even if that setting is too extreme, i mean it's optional so i say keep it in there for those real hardcore players. I mean i like a good match with extremely tough bots from time to time myself. :D

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

I'll do base and assault.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Guide updated - node/action radius info.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Udpated guide.

I forgot to put in the guide that the "if_obj_home_true/false" needs to have the action num following it, just like the flag owner does.

i.e.

if_obj_home_true 15 <- the action num 15 HAS to be a steal action!

My bad.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Hey guys - gonna be out of town for the next several days. Should be back by Tues at the latest.

Cheers!

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Oh yeah - forgot to mention: wait to work on the CP maps until I get the CP code finished. Its almost done, but I need to fix a few issues. :)

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Okay, i'll hold off on Destruction till then. :)

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

New patch up!!

LOTS of fixes, additions, etc.

Bots wont chase enemies that are far away now, understand to attack medics - instead of just revived enemies who are invulernable, the stupid jumping should be fixed now - no matter the map or circumstance (let me know if otherwise CrapShoot) a load of other fixes/improvements I've forgotten, new features and some new bugs too! :P


Guide updated too, with the new info at the very end.

Cheers!

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Updated guide!

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Patch up!

This fixes the problems bots were having with OBJs on some maps.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

BTW guys: forgot to mention, if you have .bot files you've made and want to use with your maps, send them my way.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

new patch up!

You can now make an action active_forever, then turn it off/on in the script as needed, and the game remembers and handles it correctly!

Lts drop 1 ammo pack when die (shrub feature I liked).

Bots know how to fight underwater

can drop health/ammo underwater (another shrub-ish feature)

bots try not to jump into sub pen on MP_SUB (this isn't 100%, but its better than was).

CP support finished - start working on CP maps when ready. Flag actions need to have the ACTION_FLAG value set and the flags entity number - ACTION_SPAWNFLAG is only for forward spawn flags!!

tweaked addbot.

various combat fixes and improvemnts. Should be stronger and tougher.

Various menu improvements, credits added, bot_nightmare added, bot_skill fixed.

various UI fixes.

extract the file over all files in your fritzbot dir. Dont erase your fritzbot folder, this isn't a total install, just a patch.

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

Does this mean they'll go up for air and such? If so, that's sweet!

Does this require any different commands or any of that, if so how do we use those?

Looks like a great patch, thanks Mal. :D

Re: Denny, The Ghost, Crapshoot
 

They dont go up yet, they just understand how to fight. :(

No additional cmds, just set the allied/axis objs to action_flag.
