2.75 Playtest Results

For curiosity I let the bots play themselves for 2.75 hours, 4v4 and these are reults. Great Work Stefan.

i tested accidentaly wip 9 (3005) for 7 hours in 5on5 on one map (i don;t remeber wchich one though it was 3 days ago) (i went to sleep and forgot to turn off machine)
but the server never crashed, aditionally the team scores were like 235/234 !!!
but there were lags when i joined in the morning - i guess it was coudes by the experinece data...
yesterday i did the same (yawn..) on proper mapcycle - the all works fine

i just lack of some good waypoints thogh

running linux steam with amx 0.9.8
still more tests to go

nice, the bots navigation should improve severely compared to the first hour of playing. I just re-noded de_dust and saw some bots just want to get on a bit to high ledges, but after some time you see they do not try that anymore

true - seem they behave more natural after few meinutees of fresh play, but as soon they get skill they get mostly the most safe way with the least encountered problems in the past :/

so tehy are learning but not always as we want to

i have already solved the 'randomization' issue. I see the important area definitions are working extremely well. You can force bots to be dynamic this way. I will create files for most maps for the next release.

someone should make a playtest in this way :
mix bots on a server
5 realbots vs. 5 pod-or ivp-or whatever bot
and let this server run for some hours
that would be interisting i think
but i have no time for this

problem with bots vs bots is that the winner is not always the best or funnies bot to play against.. reactions aim and so on..
