<Halogene> I didn't know mappers include some mysterious waypoints so members of the BOT clan can navigate a map?

Well I tried it out with a bunch of bots and here is what I found

- graphics wise the out door section is nice... but I can get on-top of the glass roof and look down into the inside of the building where I shouldn't be able to see through.

-the outdoor extension is very awesome and complicated. However the inner corridors are rather barren and repetitive. (although i do like the pipe sections)

- the sloped sand has lots of potential for trick jumps and speed gains ... very nicely done.

-bot way-points either arn't set up right or arn't set up at all because bots don't move around much.

-------------hutty's score sheet-----------
+0 Graphics -- Nothing out of the ordinary
+1 Gameplay -- feel just like a small dm should feel + the extra sand slopes help
+1 Gamemode -- mini DM
+0 Sound -- i didn't notice anything unusual ... but my speaker/s (one is half busted ) suck so I might not be able to hear quiet sound effects
+1 Environment -- I gota give you a point for trying to block off the hard edge with sand and also sticking with the RedPlanet theme. Its good to have a set of maps that look like they belong on one planet
-----------

TOTAL = 3

that would be a A- B+


with 0 being a C

Yeah I remember this map from several months ago, looked interesting then and looks interesting now Big Grin

I don't have time to check it out right now unfortunately, perhaps when I update my servers i'll have this on there

Cortez has a policy against adding support for bots, even if others set them up for him. The only movement from the bots comes from the waypoints the game automatically puts in from items.

Y so mad about bots, they're cool, shoot stuff, pick stuff, turn around and that.

There are no botway points. it don't use them, because in my opinion they can't replace a real player.

Bots don't work perfectly so you make them not work at all? I really can't follow that reasoning, how is making things worse helping in any way?

Besides, who said bots are supposed to replace players? If they were, why would we have multiplayer at all? Bots are there to replace an empty map where there is nothing to shoot or dodge.

Well, DM certainly isn't very popular mode online. All three popular servers are CTF (one vehicular) and there is one occasional nexball server. I only played DM online once or twice so far.

Also, there are not many players either way, so playing with bots is a welcome replacement. Bots need loads of tweaking to be good, but it's still better than an empty map, no?

I find that curious, because on many maps, where bots don't move at all (campgrounds_b4, darkzone, aggressor - on darkzone some move, some get stuck in their respective spawn points), there are many items placed, so there clearly should be some movement.

They just got 20x easier and faster to make. There is almost no excuse now.

The outdoor area (which is very good by itself) and the indoor area (which is meh) don't mesh very well. It's like trying to stick evilspace and downer together.

That's how I felt. Indoor areas have way to much repeat and rust.

•nowego will watch development of future betas

Even more curiously, there is a waypoint.cache file for each of these maps, containing some coordinates. I have it in /xonotic/data/data/maps. I will post its contents in another, related thread.

This is the autogenerated one, I believe.

While i agree that bots are mainly cannon food & pickup eaters, having waypoints is part of finishing a map. Also, at some point the bots will surely get a major overhaul. It would take like.. 5 mins at most? in a map like this, so why not simply add it and let the ppl that want to play with bots do so..?

As for the map, i haven't tested it yet, but small dm maps feels like a good idea atm. Ill have a look later tonight.

reasons why bots are important
--xonotic is still new - ish ... sometimes there are many people online ... sometimes none .... in which case there is single player
-- many people complain that xonotic doesn't have a finished single player ... it is something people expect
-- I will soon be making maps specially designed for single player campaigns

---------------

-- yes bots arn't very good at the moment (with the exception of fish slapping skills) but the are meant to substitute for real players when there are none available. making your map single-player-ready (SPR) will probably help future development.

in that case you can just join an irc channel and ask if someone wants to join

bots and a singleplayer campaign are something totally different. The people who want a singleplayer campaign want more then just bot matches.

you mean botmatches? or a real singleplayer campaign? like quake

Not everyone knows about IRC, and not everyone wants to engage with the community. They mostly want something to do while waiting for other players to join.

Don't we have bots in the current SP campaign? Why do you say bots have nothing to do with SP?

Because as the mapper, you are more qualified than anybody else to know how you want your waypoints. It helps because others won't have to spend time on it if your map goes into the repo. Also, testing.

In other news, I admire your dedication to using the right quoting syntax for every quote :o

people who want a single player campaign want a linear story with characters and set pieces that is not possible to achieve with "just bot matches".

Quake 3 Arena had singleplayer just like this. So did Unreal Tournament, in a way.

PS. waypoints on this map are tricky business. Rocket launcher is out of reach for bots, unless they'll learn to laserjump.

Hm, this is confusing. We already have a thing called "singleplayer campaign" don't we? Shouldn't we call the kind of stuff you suggest "story mode"?
