Oops. This is supposed to be in public polls section. Can someone move it for me please?

There's already a General bot coding thread. I don't think its significantly different than what you are talking about.

I think same as DrEvil.

The bot codings area is the same thing.

[Nova]

my opinion exactly. i vote reject

I don't think this is for coding but for general usage...like "How do I add bots?", "How can I change their skill"? etc. Atleast I don't think these issues are relevant for coding...

Well such questions can be asked directly in to the forum of the bot.

[DrEvil]

Yea, what he said. Those kinds of questions are entirely dependant on the particular bot you are using, so asking in the forum for that bot is the only logical place.

Uhm..

Also, it would provide a nice place for people to discuss bots that aren't hosted by bots united, like sturmbot, poxbot, CSBot, etc. Right now I'm planning to start actively develop Poxbot again, after some conversations with Steve++. But I don't qualify for hosting at BU, and there's no good place for me to make any announcements about new versions.

So this not about programming and not about bots which are hosted(except if they were dead).
I think this would be a good place to ask stuff like this:

• Does anyone know if game/mod X has bots?
• After I installed <not hosted botname here> the game crashes, help!?

Also, like CT Ken said, it might be good place to talk about non hosted bots in general(ie release announcements).

But aren't we doing that already in Half-life and Half-life Mods?

Also General discussions would be like birthday stuff, and about other bots in general.
