[SOLVED] bots

#1
Hi all Smile

By playing in single-player , i have noticed that some bots "camp".
They stand ,at bottom of the map. When the game mod is "elimination" ,it is very difficult to find them, and they can stand all the match by killing anyone , standing at the bottom of the map.


Is it normal?(bug???)

Bots just have limited intellectual capabilities. Since the focus is on online multiplayer gameplay, the development focus is usually elsewhere :o)

OK i understand.I'm a bit disappointed because it is right that the game is essentialy multiplayer , but I like to train with bots.(and when my connection don't work ,it is nice to have a singleplayer game.

I opened that topic because I have noticed that in another free games , bots have better abilities (especially in "red eclipse")

I you have any knowledge in coding you may help. It seems to happen only in elimination (or at least in dm they move) and the code is located here: http://dev.xonotic.org/projects/xonotic/...igation.qc
or maybe here: http://dev.xonotic.org/projects/xonotic/...ypoints.qc

Even if you don't have, the more clues you give to enhance it (when it happens, where, which gametype, map and so on), the easier it will be to fix things.

Non-official maps usually do not have bot waypoints, and there is no mode called elimination AFAIK.

Or you have to understand what frostwyrm333 said. So to my understanding bots work by walking to waypoints, collecting items and when they meet you they attack. Non-official maps don't have these making them quite un-playable, some maps they just stand still at their spawns. If it is just some random map you tried on then it is probably caused by that.

Yes , it is right that it was a random match.

Runningman CTF (with red and blue zones) don't have waypoints on 0.7 (Silent Siege has some bugs too). Those are already fixed and waiting for inclusion by the time I'm writing this.

If you want to fix on your machine it until then unzip the attached files in data/maps/

There are some issues on Oilrig with water which I don't know how to fix. If you find any other bot issue feel free to report it Smile

(edit: it doesn't work for updating the single player mode, but it will work if you create a multiplayer game)

OK I can give an example:

In map "Solarium", bot always "camp" in the underground water tunnel. I think it's because it can not figure out the next waypoint.

Yes. Waypoints usually have a defined height from the ground where they will work. In water everything is screwed up. Bots are lost there.
