Stupid Nade throwing.

[nocturnal]

The bot is almost nearly perfect except when it comes to chunking grenades. The latest official release, the bots barely ever throw ne grenades and with the latest beta release they throw a lot more often but almost every single time they throw the nades straight up in the air or usually at such a high angle the nade gets stuck in the sky and blows up (or blinds..). And also I know this has prob been said a lot, but i've set the minbotskill to prob. around 85 but the bots are sooo stupid like their playing at a skill of 10 or something, which has forced me to start using realbot (no offense or nething, too much cpu usage). And also how do i properly add bots with the new beta release. The "addbot 1 85 John" seems to not work nemore in my podbot.cfg.

correct syntax for addbot:

addbot [skill] [team] [skin] [name]

About grenade throwing - Yes - the code is messed up little bit (some parts overwirite another one), but sPlOrYgOn currently doesn't have so much time to re-write it (means many job and tests).

About addbot command - the current syntax of this command is this:

pb addbot [skill] [kind] [team] [skin]

skill : 0-100
kind : 1-3 (normal , defensive and agressive - don't remember exactly which one is 1 , 2 or 3)
team : 1-2 (1-T, 2-CT)
skin : 1-4
This "pb" prefix is also needed on listenserver now.

just some refinement to what KWo posted...
it's "pb addbot [skill [personality [team [model [name]]]]]"
skill: 1 - 100
personality: 1 - 3 (normal, aggressive, defensive)
team: 1 - 2 (1 = Terrorist, 2 = Counter-Terrorist)
model: 1 - 4 (I think you should know what this is)

Uooops - I forgot name parameter.
About skill - why in botskill.cfg there is (0-19) ? ???

Heyyo,

I tend not to play with low difficulty bots, so I wouldn't know.

and for PODbot v2.6mm, yeah, they can sometimes be easy at a farther range, but once they're like, 3 feet away, they kill you too easy... Cause they lock on np at close range, while us poor mouse users have to turn so fast n' stuff, almost makes you wish you use an aimbot for very close range to even the odds.

the true prob that makes the bots easy even at full difficulties isin't this, but the fact that the bots still have that bug where they stare at 1 direction for long periods of time, and don't randomly pick directions to look at like 1337 players do... Hopefully you fix this sPlOrYgOn, cause I love your bot version dude, and this fix would make a world of difference in difficulty.

@nocturnal: You can use Realbot if you want, it's up to you. I personally don't like the bot too much cause sometimes it just stands there and does nothing, so you can get up n' knife the thing if you wanted to... Dunno aboot you, but that ain't too realistic. n' yes, I have a strong enough cpu to hand 19 bots, it's a AMD Athlon XP 1900+.

If you want a hard bot dude? get wbot... that thing's a monster when it comes to aiming... I hate it's uber 1337n3$$... your only hope is to lower their reaction time. Then you have a few seconds until you die.
