Enjoy the release guys! :D Oh and ALL official RTCW maps (GOTY and otherwise) are supported this version.

A Waypointing Tutorial will be released shortly within the next week or two, i'll make sure you all know when it's finished.

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

Omg...It just done. Cool news gyes. Biggest thnx 2 all of U there.

Will check that now..

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

Ok aii played IT , its very good now thnx again gyes.

So i now have 2 questions.
1. How can aii play with "mediapack" with bot. As i see aii must remove Fritz0.pk3 from "Fritz" Folder and place file "Fritz1.pk3 into that folder - Am I right ? Becouse at the begining I extract BOTH files "fritz0 and fritz1. pk3" into folder and when I enter the game there was NO any changes..Ok aii guess U understood what aii meant gyes ;)
2. Can aii and my REAL friends play in LAN (home Net) with FritzBot ?
Becouse when aii start the Fritz Mod and select the "LAN" and then accept the game dosn't run. It runs when aii only select "NO" type. So Am I right or dont something understand ?

Thnx ahead

The media pack Fritz1.pk3 goes into the same place Fritz0.pk3 does.

1. The media pack has new models for ammo/health, and new skins/models for players, as well as the Fritz theme song. If you not seeing any of that, you installed it into the wrong place.

2. Yes you can - when you select LAN, the game closes then starts up in console mode, and you'll have to connect to it by starting up another instance of Fritz, and typing "connect 127.0.0.1" if the server is on the same computer your playing on.

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

Hey! Thx for a great bot. I enjoy playing it very much, but I'm having some problems with the latest release. :'(

- If I try to switch maps with callvote, go to main menu or exit using /quit, the game freezes. And I get this message:
"recursive error after: FS_FileForHandle: NULL"

- Their aim is a bit too good. I used to be able too manage pretty well on "Normal" but now I get killed on "Easy" with 4-5 shots, as soon as I stick my head out. :o Maybe you can lower their aim on "Easy" a bit?

- Medics are less responsive. They've turned and run when they were about to revive me. Before they always revived you straight away.

I've never seen a bot play hackey sack with grenades before. Is that new? :D

Keep up the good work guys!

log files aren't completely supported yet. find in your wolfconfig_mp.cfg the cvar g_log and remove it. I believe you will have to remove it from the wolf config in your main folder as well as your fritzbot folder.

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

Removing g_log from wolfconfig_mp.cfg fixed the problem.
I only needed to change it in Fritz Bot folder. Thanks alot!

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

I don't remember changing anything, but somehow log files got messed up. This will be addressed in a patch.

I'll have to check their aim on easy. TBH: I always play on hard or medium, so I kind of overlooked easy, its possible I cranked it up without realising it.

Medics are using the pathfinding more, and also being more tactical/varied about their choice to revive or not (before they were ALWAYS rambo medics). This means sometimes the bot decides it has some other pressing need and ignores you, or sometimes it doesn't find a good path to you for some reason and ignores you. It could be either. However - this is JUST like a human on a pub server (which I've designed Fritz to simulate): they never just always revive, they also have their own goals and needs.

No matter what Fritz does, I want it to be as human-like as possible, even when its being stupid. ;)

Yeah, I changed some of the death msgs, just for fun. :D

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

About the aiming, I can't say I can tell any real difference between the settings, even with nightmare turned on. They take you out in 4-5 shots instantly all the time. Most of the time you can't even see them.
I know that's how it is mostly when playing against "1337" players but sometimes I just wanna fool around and do whatever without beeing killed every 10 seconds, which is why bots are so great. They don't complain no matter what you do. ;)

I can see where you're coming from, trying to make bot behave more human, and I'm all for it. But when a medic is heading towards you and then turns around when he's right next to you and runs off to revive somebody else or something... He's not even beeing shot at. That's just annoying. But maybe that's the intention?

Don't get me wrong. I love this bot. Mostly because it's not human. 9_9

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

Mal almost had to change how the medics acted (just before release i believe), they kept running up against walls all the time before throughout testing and trust me it was way more annoying having them do that.

I mean I agree that they were great before about reviving but i'd rather give up that then keep running up against walls problem.

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

If they were heading towards you to revive, then moved away, theres something else going on then a pathfinding issue, because thats an all or nothing goal. Can you recall the circumstances? Because the bot will stop going to one teammate and hit another for certain reasons (they're closeser, theres an enemy that makes getting you dangerous, etc, etc - they constantly re-evaluate who should be revived first in real time). For some reason, he figured it was best to get the other guy first, and may have gotten in a fight or saw someone that got him in his combat mode that made you get ignored. Its hard to say without seeing it myself. I didn't want them to always be Rambo medics simply because online, not every human is a Rambo medic, some ignore you and do stupid shit (I know, I've played this game and ET online since they both came out ;) ).

However, Denny is right that there was a big code change right there at the end, so some work in tweaking their behavior and choices may be needed again. I didn't have enough time to test the 11th hour code for as long as I wanted.

Aiming: I've never had a hard time with their aim on hard level, but thats prolly because I've been playing so long. Your concern is a valid one: I want everyone to be able to enjoy Fritz. Its something I will check into, and will fix in a patch.

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

congrats on the release all, i'm still waiting for my new desktop to arrive. so sadly i can't try it out. i'm sure it's great though. once i get the new computer expect to hear more from me.

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

Thank you thank you thank you !
I have never been really interested by playing online , and you just gave the MP part of my RTCW a life by allowing me to play with bots.

And what bots, i find their navigation (great waypoints by the way) and their possibilites (they can use abilities ! they can heal deadly wounded !) totally top quality.

Thank you again for those bots, they are extremely fun to play for a totally "SP devoted" player like me.
And your plan to adapt it to Enemy territory just made me to download this game i never cared about due to their lack of AI , that's how much goodness i think about your bot work !

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

Thank you!

I freaked out a friend playing the other day on the axis team with a server full of bots. Fritz came up next to him, then stood there with his binocs and called down a storm of artillery on a allied sniper that had been harassing my friend, then Fritz went on his merry way. My friend thought it was me, imagine his surprise when I told him a bot did it! :D

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

I can imagine his surprise! Fritz's ability to use artillery still impresses me every time. Like the spawn killing on Ice at <insert def team here> spawn. Is this strictly code or can you put "artilley-points" in the path file?

Re: Fritz Bot v0.50 BETA is released!!!!
 

Everything they do arty wise right now is all code based on real time calcs and their AI.
