Is it possible for YaPB(Godlike) to defeat zbot(Expert)?

[szfzafa]

Currently i'm using 2.55+(from googlecode)
this makes bots' aiming shaky a lot:

 
      // randomize the target position
      m_enemyOrigin = targetOrigin + ((pev->velocity - m_enemy->v.velocity).SkipZ () * m_frameInterval * 1.2f);

i removed this and add YaPB in one team, everyone in max skill, to fight against Zbot in the other side, but still Zbot beat the shit out of YaPB

anyone got some ideas to improve YaPB combat skill & performance?

thx.

it really sucks...feel strange...*_*

Here also much depends not only from aiming....

[szfzafa]

i have to admit that...
since I changed GetAimPosition like this:

Vector Bot::GetAimPosition (void)
{// get enemy position initially
Vector targetOrigin = m_enemy->v.origin;
return targetOrigin;
}

but YaPB still aim shaky...
even can't mess with Zbot normal@_@

To the worst, the basic structure of combat in 2.5x versions was rewritten but works definitely much less effient than earlier versions(like 2.0.0.864)
is it on experienment, for jeefo?

[szfzafa]

I also rewrote void Bot::CombatFight (void) function(in 2.0.0.864 style), maybe it turned out less shaky, through still shaky when attacking(shake between upright and downleft)...
In rounds of tests, YaPB vs zbot turns into a close match in some time, but obviously zbot is winning by a neck.

Soooooooooooo what makes YaPB shaky like that?

[Ancient]

I don't think it's a problem with BotAim since PodBot MM doesn't shake like that.
It will likely have to be something inside YaPB.

[szfzafa]

can't agree more.
and it happen only in ver1.00 and 2.55(googlecode)

now i'm switching to 2.51(last modified by ProRaiL)

[JayDee]

Is it possible to use two bots at the same time ?!?
Never thought about it.
But im using CS 1.5 so zbot won't work for me...
Can I use instead of zbot JoeBot or something with Metamod
and Podbot at the same time without any errors or bugs?!?
