Planned features

[ghost of evilspy]

Planned for undefined future:
- Tau jumping (working on some ideas, probably will track real players and place special tau-jump autowaypoints)
- Wall-gaussing (will need to look at CS bots how they implement shooting through walls for tips)
- Jump over drop autowaypoints
- Longjump over drop autowaypoints

Please post you ideas and feature requests.

I cant wait!

[ghost of evilspy]

Ugh.. it's going to be long wait

[Minh-Lo-Hwang]

Take your time!

[KWo]

Could You please, take a look at this.
I need to steel from someone the working code for affecting bots by the darkness, so maybe You can add this to JKBotti. That shoud be very easy to do for You.
[EDIT]
Nevermind. I found another bot code it has it already...

Request:

Support for HL1 DoD, the other supported bots have been dead for a long time now.

That would be a nice feature.
A multi-Mod bot.

[ghost of evilspy]

Multi-mod bot isn't going to happen. But sources are there if you want to try your own bot.

As for shooting through walls:

1. traceline from player A to B , get wall intersection X
2. traceline from player B to A , get wall intersection Y

"width" of wall is X - Y.

You can do some tricks with that. Basically it is cheating of course. SO add some 'noise' in the aiming to make the bots not super lethal.

Thats it?

well IIRC for CS shoting through walls is not only affected by the "width" of wall, but also affected by how many walls are shooting through. This may not be completely exact, but it should work most of the time:

//=========================================================
// Returns if enemy can be shoot through some obstacle
//=========================================================
bool CBaseBot::IsShootableThruObstacle(Vector vecDest)
{
   if (!WeaponShootsThru(m_iCurrentWeapon))
      return FALSE;

   Vector vecSrc = EyePosition();
   Vector vecDir = (vecDest - vecSrc).Normalize();  // 1 unit long
   Vector vecPoint = g_vecZero;
   int iThickness = 0;
   int iHits = 0;

   edict_t *pentIgnore = pev->pContainingEntity;
   TraceResult tr;
   UTIL_TraceLine(vecSrc, vecDest, ignore_monsters, ignore_glass, pentIgnore, &tr);

   while (tr.flFraction != 1.0 && iHits < 3)
   {
      iHits++;
      iThickness++;
      vecPoint = tr.vecEndPos + vecDir;
      while (POINT_CONTENTS(vecPoint) == CONTENTS_SOLID && iThickness < 64)
      {
         vecPoint = vecPoint + vecDir;
         iThickness++;
      }
      UTIL_TraceLine(vecPoint, vecDest, ignore_monsters, ignore_glass, pentIgnore, &tr);
   }

   if (iHits < 3 && iThickness < 64)
   {
      if (LengthSquared(vecDest - vecPoint) < 12544)
         return TRUE;
   }

   return FALSE;
}

for other MODs things may be different though.
