Well, that's a given, i try not to intersect ANY radius node or otherwise, it just seems like it would cause problems if i did that so i try not to do it.

New patch up!

There SHOULD be a somewhat major speed improvement, as well as a pathfinding improvement, but like anything else - I need you guys to test it and let me know.

New console cmd:

node_drawonly <action type number>

This is usally set to -1 (for draw ALL actions).

If you have node_vis set to 1 or 2 (these 2 modes draw actions), then you can set node_drawonly to the type of action you want drawn. Note, it will draw that action if either the allied or axis obj is the same value.

EX: your on a map and only want camp actions drawn, then type "node_drawonly 0" in your console, and only actions that have a camp goal for one or both of the teams will be drawn. Set back to -1 to disable the filter.

This is REALLY useful on large complex maps, and is prolly something I should have added a long time ago.


Check the buglist as well, for some updated info.

Bots chat "spam" should be even less now.

Few other little tweaks and fixes.


NOTE: I've finished everything I have on my bug list to fix. This will prolly be one of the last patches, unless you guys find a major issue (or I do!).

I think that command is more useful for people who are looking at maps to find out how to do certain actions. Still a good command otherwise.

I'm waiting for CrapShoot's update tonight, then i'll start testing. I've finished all my homework for this week so i'm all ready to go. I'm gonna work on the tutorial as well. I think if it's possible to churn it out in time for release if i hit it hard, well see though.

Also Mal, i recieved an e-mail about the Bots United server being down this weekend, so you may have to e-mail patches and stuff (if you release any) i'm pretty sure you got the e-mail too.

New patch up!

Medic issue fixed.

Awareness issue fixed.

addbot issue fixed. Will need some more .bot files to give a good random spread.

Couple other things.

Cheers!

[CrapShoot]

Nice.

BTW, I should have 36 bot files to you by tomorrow.

[Maleficus]

Kewl.

Hey, I just noticed you sent me a maps.cfg file a while back - if thats your most recent one, then disregard my e-mail.

btw: did you still have that bot listing of botnames, file names, and classes? I lost it somewhere, and it would be a great help if I could get another copy, especially if it includes any new bots that have been added.

[CrapShoot]

Yes, I sent you a new version of the map config a little bit ago. It should be in your email right now with the other server files.

I'll update the bot index and send it with the new bot files.

I'll take a copy of that as well, i think it's a very handy list if i do say so myself.

Yeah. Actually, I'd like to bundle a version of it with Fritz, so ppl know right away what bots (and their names/classes) are available. Maybe include it as part of the readme or something.


BTW: Think I found and fixed the crash bug. Let me test it more later tonight after work and I'll get a patch out to you guys.

New patch up!

The crash bug should be fixed now, and all the new .bot files have been added to the random addbot, so now you'll get a good variety.
