Where's Ace? (And CTF AI solution idea!) - 2010/02/05 17:51 Speaking of mapmaking/modding, I was wondering... Where's Ace at this time? Have they gone missing?

In case Ace (or anyone else) sees this and is curious, I realized what the problem is with bots and the Capture-The-Flag gametype. The bots need additional code added to their AI in order to understand what to do with the flags. Otherwise they will simply act like they are in "Team PointBlast"/"Team DeathMatch" modes. Seeing as I do not possess the know-how (and probably could never wrap my head around the concepts) to add this much-wanted code, I figured I would start this thread in hope that either Ace (or someone else in the community) could come up with it. Any takers?

[EDIT: That reminds me... Creating additional AI routines will warrant an additional file for the CTF gametype... Call it "CTFBots", perhaps?]

Yes, I'm "TSB/TBB/CTF"-crazed! Team battles, FTW!

I gave up on 2010-07-07 due to issues, returned around 2010-10-19 because I saw running multiplayer servers, and am stuck in Software Rendering as of 2010-11-24 thanks to a dead NVidia GeForce 7300 GT...

Ask them about this later if you can't figure out why... ...)

Re:Where's Ace? (And CTF AI solution idea!) - 2010/02/06 03:39 lol, good luck finding Ace, he's almost never on he's probably too stubborn to fix any problems anyway

P.S.: Welcome to the community, I'm Boofer, I'm a regular here, or at least I was before school started Anyway, you joined at a really low point in the "NAB Season." Hopefully we'll see some more action during the summer, but its still good to see new users coming in

Re:Where's Ace? (And CTF AI solution idea!) - 2010/02/15 18:53 Hey now, I'm alive, I swear...!

Lol, thank Rajada and SLAM for reminding me this site even existed. Just wanted to give you some insights on the CTF code...

Right now it is strickly designed for 2 teams per level, unfortunately. So we're stuck there unless I make 3.0 or some poop.

You are right about the bots lacking proper AI for the mod too. They basically treat it as a powerup item like any regular inventory (run towards it and grab it if they're near it) and that's it. We would likely need a new bot class (or maybe not, if I can fathom the damn AI stuff period).

Anyways, that's the bad news, but I'll try to be hanging around here more often tho =O unfortunately I got older since I made the mod heheh and have been busy with other things. But I'll do my best.
