Default Playing with RACC on hldm, year 2012 hehe! - 25-09-2012

I got a little curious how the great RACC performs on the last update,
that template 2.

I last played it a decade ago on CS 1.4 I think.
It was great at first but it kinda lags on some of the updates PMB released
exclusively on nukebox.com forum members.
Went back to podbot until I got tired of pc games
and played real life fps on the arena of airsoft gaming.

Now I'm tired to airsoft I'm back to pc games haha!
Anyway I've re-installed some of the racc versions I've kept
and later installed the template-2 release.
I'm more into FFA/deathmatch games now so fired it up
on good old HLDM. It was great at crossfire seems the racc
can navigate and find enemies easily here.
At boot_camp since it's unwaypointed it just circles around an area
until it manage to find some exit points.

Template -2 has no observer command so I played with it
on my simpler maps with just some few wall around so I can
check how it navigates. I really want to watch it but I'm too lazy to fire up hltv.
But from what I saw seems it does has some visual sense or whatever
to navigate simpler maps and manage to climb some ladders
and can walk on ledges. Some unwaypointed bots I've played are
most of the time just hugs corners and stays there. Rhobot for example
hugs corners most of the time but it has good combat almost like jumbot or jkbotti.
Racc definitely the best unwaypointed bot atleast for hldm.

RACC'c combat...now here' is where I'm kinda disappointed.
I find it to easy even if their botskill is max out.

Racc talks a lot though I can almost say it's THE TALKING BOT
since it uses lots of sound files. Really cool at first and kinda annoying in the long run hehe.

Really wish I could learn some programming stuff so I can check out
and understand the inner workings of racc and make some improvements
to it since PMB is so busy to life now I just hope someday he could pay us a visit
here soon.
