detailnames improvement
 

Is it possible to split up the detailnames.
By that I mean there could be 3 possibilities:
1) only the prefix [POD], [P0D] and [P*D] before the name
2) only the skill behind the name
3) both prefix and skill ( the way it is now )
I ask this because I like to play with only the skill shown behind the names.
Thanks in advance.

I would rather change a bit the order:
1) both prefix and skill (the way it is now) - default
2) only the prefix [POD], [P0D] and [P*D] before the name
3) only the skill behind the name

Re: detailnames improvement
 

As you like.
I just putted them in random order; just showing you the 3 possibilities I want.
So if you want to give it a try, I'll be very pleased.

I want to work a bit on darkness and invisibility. When this is ready, that thing with bots names will be added to the new beta.

Re: detailnames improvement
 

Great, I'm looking forward to it.

But I don't know when yet it happens... :D

Re: detailnames improvement
 

I post this here cause it has to do with the podbot.cfg file also.
Can you make seperate weapon restrictions for each team?
A) First in the podbot.cfg something like this;
For the T's:

# Weapons, equipment and ammo restriction (for buying T team)
# bit numbers meaning - the left one is the 0 in that string cvar
# Pistols restriction
# 0 - KNIFE
# 1 - USP
# 2 - GLOCK18
# 3 - DEAGLE
# 4 - P228
# 5 - ELITE
# Shotgun restrictions
# 6 - M3
# 7 - XM1014
# SMG restrictions
# 8 - MP5NAVY
# 9 - P90
# 10 - MAC10
# 11 - UMP45
# Rifles restrictions
# 12 - AK47
# 13 - SG552
# 14 - GALIL
# 15 - SCOUT
# 16 - AWP
# 17 - G3SG1
# Machine Gun restriction
# 18 - M249
pb_trestrweapons "0000000000000000000"

For the CT's:

# Weapons, equipment and ammo restriction (for buying CT team)
# bit numbers meaning - the left one is the 0 in that string cvar
# Pistols restriction
# 0 - KNIFE
# 1 - USP
# 2 - GLOCK18
# 3 - DEAGLE
# 4 - P228
# 5 - FIVESEVEN
# Shotgun restrictions
# 6 - M3
# 7 - XM1014
# SMG restrictions
# 8 - MP5NAVY
# 9 - TMP
# 10 - P90
# 11 - UMP45
# Rifles restrictions
# 12 - M4A1
# 13 - FAMAS
# 14 - AUG
# 15 - SCOUT
# 16 - AWP
# 17 - SG550
# Machine Gun restriction
# 18 - M249
# Shield restriction
# 19 - SHIELD
pb_ctrestrweapons "00000000000000000000"

B) Second also ingame when you go to weapon mode you have the choice of 3 things after choosing 1 of the 7 weapon modes.
The 3 options then are:
1) Both teams ( like it is now )
2) T team only
3) CT team only

Thx in advance.

When You are looking at the forum from here:
http://forums.bots-united.com/forumdisplay.php?f=47
what the text You can see below "Ideas" subforum?

That definitevely has to be rejected. I did the restrictions for buying weapons by bots to let it be compatible with AMX/AMXX weapon restrictions. Doing Your request would break that. Sorry.

Re: detailnames improvement
 

Sorry about the "one idea per thread please", guess I was a little bit too enthousiastic.
Had no idea about the AMX stuff. It would be great but if it isn't possible, then that's how it is.
p.s.: even with the ingame weapon mode I suggested?

Re: detailnames improvement
 

Please consider it as un-fair to let use some weapons by one team, but not let them to be used by the other one. Can't You really get it?

Re: detailnames improvement
 

Instead of just allowing certain weapons, find a map with the specified weapons that you desire. Also you can modify a map with only weapons that you want to be used. (Ex: de_dust2 changes to aim_dust2).

Re: detailnames improvement
 

@ KWo: See, I'm only brainstorming on things to make podbot_mm the most wanted and the most adjustable bot program with the most options ( if it isn't already so )
I know that weapon restriction of only 1 team gives an advantage over the other team. I'm truly aware of that.
If any idea of me is impossible or unnecessary, than I agree with your opinion.
@ Ancient: Thanks for the advice but I wasn't looking for anything like that.
It was all ment to improve podbot.

Re: detailnames improvement
 

Making more options/cvars etc makes podbot mm more confusing for beginners/new users and also makes the code more complicated instead to keep it optimal to have the good performance on the server. That's why if there are some ideas needed only for one person not usefull for the majority of users, i'm usually rejecting them.

Re: detailnames improvement
 

Totally agree with that. You're the coder, I'm the brainstormer.
If I come up with any ideas, I'll let you know.
