Thumbs down Connect Time Faker/Randomizer? - 08-04-2011

Anyone know of a plugin that can fake/randomize the connect time of bots in the server info window? When people open server info, I don't want them to see 8 bots in there for 17hrs.


Edit: Sorry, wrong icon for post. Should be a question mark.

Use AMX X and ask at their forum to make the plugin for You. All You need is to kick sometimes any bot (but then the number of bots is all the time the same). So You may need sometimes to use "pb remove #botid" command, then after some time "pb add [parameters]" command. I believe somebody at AMX X forum having time can make it for You.

So kwo, you think this is actually possible? I have asked some guys in the alliedmodders forums, and they all say its impossible to change bot time, but I think they are wrong. It must be a way to randomize the bot connected time, because I already know its possible to randomize the bot pings, so why the heck shouldn't fake time be possible? I know its handled server side, but lol it must be possible

You cannot change time of the bot connected all the time to the server. What You need to ask at alliedmods forum is to write for You a plugin which is from time to time using "pb remove #id" command, the after a while it is using "pb add" commnd. That's all. Thus the new bot connected should have new "playing time".

Thanks for your fast reply. Now I have never tried to kick/add bots on podbot, but I suppose that it gets new connection time, unlike the standard CZ bots, where they always have the same connection time, even after kick...?

I have never checked their connection time. Just try and let me know if this is a good way to solve Your problem.

I managed to get podbot running, and tested to kick/add bots. But the bots still had the same connection time. I don't think this is possible unless some very smart guy find out a way to trick the master server to display random connect times for bots.

I hope that it will be added in the next podbot version, cause this feature already exists in the jk botti.

Seems like a random kick mod might replicate what you are asking for... at least it should do for the time being.
