Bots?
I somehow, somewhere heard that the guy who was working on the bot software hit the road a while back.
I was wondering if there are any plans to incorporate bots into the game at some point? Or once that guy left, was the bot concept pretty much dropped for good? -Ahab the Curious |

No no and no. I'm sure wherever you read it from had the answers you need. But the main answer is no.

It's really a shame. Bots in even the most basic form (running forward) could open up so many possible training maps.
Heck I could play against bots in a game like FF all day. Just shootin feets gettin airs. If only... |

If I remember right they are fairly primitive too, basic paths and aiming. I was heavily into FoX bot waypointing for TFC so if FF bots are ever released I'd gladly create some gnarly stuff.

I wonder if it'd just be easier to just start over with bots instead of trying to learn someone's already created code.

I mean to be fair, Dr.Evil who did them before has had years and years of previous bot code, and it's all open source as well. But yes I too think it would be easier to just start over. You never know what others are thinking about!

Hopefully someone is out there willing to code bots for this great game. My plan was to create a Humans vs. Bots server.
My TFC server is the most popular bot server currently. Its a 32 slot and gets crazy when full. Something about people fighting bots, they love it lol. Last edited by M0N3Y; 10-20-2012 at 03:10 AM. |

No disrespect intended Dr Evil.
I messaged you on omni-bot forums in January of 2011.

Yeah orange box would be legit. Then maybe we can fix simple stupid issues like spawn delay by getting killed with certain weapons or the weapon switch bug.
How far along was the OB transfer done and is there anything I or anyone willing could do to help make that transfer happen? |

Still seems pointless imo, unless we got new people to do models and textures, OB probly wouldn't be much of an upgrade. And If we did get people to do that, may as well just make the next fortress game at this point. Seemed to be the general consensus last time we talked about it anyways.
