Tactical Bots?
 
I know you are all good bot coders, I am thinking that you should make bots with tactics etc... They hear something and slow down or walk and crouch and walk etc...

Like how tournament players play etc... cool stuff like that. It would be cool to have a bot like that and would be super challenging.

If coders would bond-together on a bot and or certain HL-Mod or game etc.. would be super cool.

My tournament movies are from Counter-strike Complexity group.
I'm an extreme gamer, but I don't choose to play 24/7

An ultimate bot would be really cool. :)

Yep, that's basically what I posted before this thread :) (Bots to scrim against)

I don't think it's going to happen. It's just too much work in a less appealing game. Us programmers aren't as competative and don't care to understand most of the finer aspects of the game, usually. I would be astounded if there were bots good enough that would flash when retaking a site, flash when taking a site, nade spots consistantly used by the other team. Anything with nades actually, all the nades I've seen are just bad :)

You hardly ever come across human players that work tactically in a multiplayer game, except clan matches, though!

Getting bots to slow down if they hear a noise is simple, just requires a form of belief system and acting on their perceptions if they think such an action like slowing down is appropriate. It's something I'll be trying a bit more of in rcbot2 for HL 2.

Having bots to evolve through their own feedback of their own actions from situations is much more interesting for me as you can see how they can learn and develop themselves instead of programming the actions directly.

My views were based on Counter-strike 1.6 :) Since thats what I play most on steam.

Re: Tactical Bots?
 
jees, why does my site keep doing that

filebase.bots-united.com -> in rcbot section, I'd get rcbot 1.44 beta dlls instead of 1.3 as the old version doesnt support some mod versions (like ns 3.1) the 1.3 version is still up only because there is a linux dll supplied f you want to run a linux server with an old mod version (or svencoop 3.5) but of course the latest betas have more features but only support win32

Can you send me rcbot 1.44 beta dlls so I can update it? Why does you site do that? It looks like someone hacked it or something.
