What is new in 1.24:

• Rewrote min/max_bots code.
• Increased config-file processing and bot adding speed.
• Changed bot kicking to use 'kick # <userid>' instead of 'kick <name>'.
• Fixed broken random bot selection code.

What is new in 1.20:

• Added support for lifts.
• Fixed weapon selection code to honor weapon secondary/primary attack skill setting.
• Fixed bot get up ladders better.
• Fixed min_bots/max_bots to handle other metamod bots correctly.
• More aggressive autowaypointing for linking separate areas.
• Fixed autowaypointing for paths leading from water to dry.
• Added missing ammunition type 'ammo_9mmbox'.
• Fixed goal selection to use wall mounted health/battery rechargers.
• Compiled with more aggressive optimization flags. This speeds up path-matrix creation.
• Fixed output for 'kickall'-command.
• Fixed bot not to jump when coming near edge and bot is planing to go down using ladders.
• Workaround for loading map specific config for map 'logo'. Use '_jk_botti_logo.cfg' for this map. 'jk_botti_logo.cfg' is already used for bot spraypaints.
• Fixed bot always ducking when next waypoint is crouch waypoint. This caused bot not be able to jump through small window with crouch waypoint inside.

What is new in 1.10:

• Fixed bots to use wall mounted health/battery rechargers and buttons.
• Fixed bots to pick up items.
• Fixed observer mode so that bots don't hear observers anymore. This caused bots to get interested about observer sounds and track theim.
• Lowered default bot lookaround/pause frequency and times.
• Fixed autowaypointing not to place waypoints midair.
• Fixed autowaypointing not to create impossible upwards paths.
• Fixed autowaypointing not to create crouch waypoints if there is room to stand up.
• Old waypoint files are automatically processed to fix above autowaypointing errors.
• Lots of tweaks to autowaypointing: better handling of ladders and stairs, better linking of isolated areas.
• 'autowaypoint' is now default on.
• New command 'show_waypoints' for viewing/aiding waypoint creation.

What is new in 1.01:

• Bug fix: Fixed 'bot_conntimes 1' crashing Windows server.

What is new in 1.00:

• Remembers bots from config when recreating bots by min_bots/max_bots.
• Change bot connection times on server queries.
  • Set 'bot_conntimes 1' in config file to have different connection times for each bot on server query.
• Tweaked code computing RunPlayerMove-msec.
• Bots don't see targets too early behind corners.

Credits:

• Based on HPB bot 4.0 by botman.
• Uses BotAim code by Pierre-Marie Baty.
• Uses code from GraveBot by Caleb 'Ghoul' Delnay. (goal selection system, longjumping)

did the bot support higher server fps then 100?

Hi!
This is a great Bot! Thank you for your hard work.
Btw. Do they understand Tripmines? How to handle them in a smart way? If not, is that a planned feature, maybe for later versions?

Again, thank you for this great bot!

It should since unlike any other bots, jk_botti limits 'think-fps' to 30. So even if server runs faster than 100fps, jk_botti thinks at slower rate.

Tripmines should be handled as the same way as in HPB-bot, bot shoots theim as soon as seen. Except when I checked this it seems this is bugged off.

Bots using tripmines.. well, I would need to make bots handle/avoid active tripmines before even thinking this one. This one goes to planned in undefined future features list.

Alright, thank you for the information!
