osensei · **BOTS slow to learn map -** 08-10-2005

I would post this in the BUGS section but I'm not sure that this is a bug. I just waypointed one of my custom maps. Normally, my custom maps don't have a problem. I know however, that you BOT guys don't guarantee performance on custom maps. But on to the point!

The bots on this particular map exhibit the following behavior:

1) Te seems to find waypoints in a satisfactory manner. Not great! Just satisfactory.

2) CT on the other hand seldom stray far from CT spwn. They take a couple of steps in a seemingly random direction, then jump a couple of times then the pattern repeats.

3) This pattern continues w/ CT until Te finds them and kills them near CT spwn. Occasionally one CT will get on a roll and make it to the objective.

4) The CPU utilization is extemely high and the FPS is eratic as well.

I'm not sure if this is normal behavior for your BOT. Since this is a rather large map, is this the result of the BOTS trying to learn the map? The other option seems to be that the map has glitches that prevent the BOTS from behaving normally.

What's your take on this?

Sincerely

Osensei
