- Description of the Modification
- -------------------------------
- I wanted instant, automatic, halfway smart deathmatch opponents
- for one player - ME! This modification of Punisher's BGbot takes the bots
- and alters them for a "pseudo" deathmatch environment. Now you can have a
- full fledged deathmatch - by yourself!
-
-
- Go into Multiplayer Games, new game - direct connection..then select your
- favorite DM level.
- Use Impulse 100 to create indivual opponents
- Impulse 99 will create four at one time.
-
- (*NOTE* I do not recommend more than 8 bots at one time,unless
- its a really large level...anything more can get ridiculous.
- Note also that the bots tend to get stuck in one area due to
- the fact that they are stupid and attack the first thing in sight
- I will be working on some better AI and possible random spawning to
- help spread these bots out)
-
- Thanks to Punisher's mod, these bots will
- pick up and use all weapons(I was originally going to have to make this mod
- myself on TMBOT... Thanks to Punisher for saving me the time!)
-
- Now your battling as many opponents as you want(just remember, the more
- you spawn, the harder it is and the slower your system )
-
-
- How to Install the Modification
- -------------------------------
- unzip the zip file into a new directory off of your Quake dir.
- cd to that directory and use qccdos (just type qccdos newbies)
-
- then bind a key to impulse 100
- and bind a key to impulse 99
-
- Technical Details
- -----------------
- VERSION 1: BGBOT
- TM, DM Bot basis.
- Ability to pick up things:
- Weapons
- Ammo
- Health
- Armor
- Chooses weapon from ones it has.
- Hunts all players (including creator)
- Hunts other bots
- Multiple Bots at once. (memory limiting)
- Telefrags //* Keep away from Spawning points!
-
- Version -1.00 BGADMBOT
- Designed for a one player deathmatch environment
- If hit, will sometimes get pissed and attack the attacker.
- Respawning(after death, keeps the old bots info and respawns it)
- 250 health for bots and players - to keep it more interesting and
- challenging
-
-
- Version -1.01 Due to a last minute housekeeping task, I caused a bug
- which would respawn a bot in the place it died, instead
- of the deathmatch starts..This preety much made the game
- lame..THIS BUG HAS BEEN FIXED!!
- If you have the old version,please delete it..
-
- *FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS*
- I couldn't get it to rank the bots. I did however make some modifications
- which will make it easier to do bot rankings.
- The AI could always be improved. Sometimes these bots will do stupid
- things.
- I'm working on random spawning..this will reduce telefrags and also add
- a little spice to the game...Currently its using the SelectSpawnPoint
- for deathmatch info
- Will I ever improve anything? dunno. The little lady is getting jealous
- of my puter :)
