I see we've changed

[aradorasxeon]

It is a good think we started yews this mod. It is quite fun to mess around. Some of the bots are better than some players.

Can't we convince some to come and pug with us? =) Please!

Anyway if we can find the provider and convince him to continue his work, we may save the life of siege! or if we can't find him let's build this up together!

EVERYONE COME TO TEMPEST AND PLAY WITH THE BOTS!


By the way there is some bug, as Ramshi mentioned we can't login as admins. Well I haven't seen any problem on the servers for ages, because I haven't seen people on the server for ages, but that's another story...

Well today there were 5 real palyers online for some seconds, sometimes the server laggs, but I don't think it's because of the mod, well in a way yes. Since bots need to be controlled by the server, so it probably yews more powersource than before, but it's ok for me.

The other problem with cannot login is that we can't balance the teams, I mean to have equal real players and bots in a team.
Well I'd be happier with some of these bots on my team than, some players, who never listens to their leaders.

For any chances can we pug some time in the near future?

No korriban =( game skips it =( then refill the server with new named bots

Convo from like a month+ ago. Would have posted earlier if I knew you guys didn't know the bots thing was happening.

[18:56] -GUARD!AN-: yo
[18:56] -GUARD!AN-: not admin experiments
[18:56] Magyk||Hiryu: hrm?
[18:57] -GUARD!AN-: working with kera and a friend of mine
[18:57] -GUARD!AN-: to make siege smart bots
[18:57] -GUARD!AN-: that also look and feel like real players
[18:57] -GUARD!AN-: anyone who has been playing siege for less than 6 months wouldnt know the difference
[18:57] -GUARD!AN-: but people kept kicking my autobots when i left them in the server to test their stability over a long time
[18:58] Magyk||Hiryu: ahh
[18:58] -GUARD!AN-: feel free to login, but do not kick any afks:
[18:58] Magyk||Hiryu: All the passwords are changed.
[18:59] -GUARD!AN-: i know im about to give u
[18:59] Magyk||Hiryu: Oh
[18:59] Magyk||Hiryu: alrighty
[18:59] -GUARD!AN-:  /amlogin blahblahblahblahblahblahthisisnottherealpassword
[18:59] Magyk||Hiryu: ROFL
[18:59] -GUARD!AN-: all i could think of off the top of my head LOL
[18:59] Magyk||Hiryu: Excellent
[18:59] -GUARD!AN-: pass it on to mike
[18:59] Magyk||Hiryu: Did you happen to see Ramshi(?)'s topic about the guy asking you to shut down teacup?
[18:59] -GUARD!AN-: i think thats the concil pass
[18:59] Magyk||Hiryu: Will do.
[19:00] -GUARD!AN-: ya i quickly scrolled through it on my phone this morning
[19:00] Magyk||Hiryu: Any idea who it might be?
[19:00] -GUARD!AN-: i have noticed that teacup does steal some traffic throughout the night
[19:00] -GUARD!AN-: but nub wouldnt care
[19:00] -GUARD!AN-: so w/e
[19:01] Magyk||Hiryu: Roger
[19:02] -GUARD!AN-: my first priority for now is the siege bots
[19:02] Magyk||Hiryu: rofl yeah
[19:02] -GUARD!AN-: so pubbing alone is actually fun
[19:02] Magyk||Hiryu: roger, yeah that'd be sweet.
[19:02] -GUARD!AN-: they would be of no challenge to you or any seasoned player
[19:02] -GUARD!AN-: but to most pub nubs
[19:02] Magyk||Hiryu: I think on jerk's servers he has working bot routes? Unsure.
[19:02] -GUARD!AN-: they are equal skill
[19:02] -GUARD!AN-: its more than bot routes
[19:02] Magyk||Hiryu: Nice
[19:02] -GUARD!AN-: it will be balancing classes
[19:02] -GUARD!AN-: if theres no jan, go jan for the team
[19:03] -GUARD!AN-: laying shields
[19:03] -GUARD!AN-: trying to accomplish a feat like that
[19:03] Magyk||Hiryu: Wow, sounds impressive
[19:03] Magyk||Hiryu: that's awesome
[19:03] -GUARD!AN-: yeah we're still not sure if thats possible
[19:03] -GUARD!AN-: but hey it all starts with a dream
[19:03] -GUARD!AN-: now the prototyping :D
[19:04] Magyk||Hiryu: That's pretty awesome. I don't know anything about coding, so I doubt i'll be of much help. But if you think of anything I might be able to pitch in with just give me a shout
[19:04] -GUARD!AN-: will do, thx
[19:04] Magyk||Hiryu: rgr
[19:04] -GUARD!AN-: siege will NEVER die so long as im around :)

And Xeon, you're right about the bots being harder on the server.

Code: Select all

[20:04] Magyk||Hiryu: seems pretty awesome though
[20:04] Magyk||Hiryu: every little bit helps i suppose, when populating the server
[20:05] -GUARD!AN-: yeah at least someone can actually not be bored if they solo pub now
[20:05] -GUARD!AN-: its gonna take me a couple more weeks to stabilize this
[20:05] -GUARD!AN-: but the bots know how to defent objs
[20:05] -GUARD!AN-: you'll see them go to the controls of the desert final red shields
[20:05] -GUARD!AN-: and stand there to defend
[20:06] Magyk||Hiryu: really? sweet
[20:06] Magyk||Hiryu: thats awesome
[20:06] -GUARD!AN-: they are still a work in progress and obviously will never be perfect
[20:06] -GUARD!AN-: but yeah still LIGHTYEARS ahead of the built-in bots
[20:07] Magyk||Hiryu: yup.. seem to even be a step ahead of jerk's bots, and those ones were pretty smart.
[20:07] Magyk||Hiryu: didnt' do any objectives, but put up a pretty good fight for an AI
[20:09] -GUARD!AN-: oh cool didnt realize jerk was still doing stuff for siege
[20:10] -GUARD!AN-: the only thing i have noticed
[20:10] -GUARD!AN-: is that they put a strain on the server cpu
[20:11] -GUARD!AN-: so it does lag a bit every now and then
[20:11] -GUARD!AN-: very CPU intensive bots
[20:11] Magyk||Hiryu: ah, well. If there are people in the server, there are less bots.
[20:11] -GUARD!AN-: good point

Kurgan's meatgrinder uses an open source mod called the Open reborn boss Project. Since it is open source, anyone can view the code. We are in the process of improving their code, and adding a few of the fixes from Keramod as well to make a new pub mod.

[aradorasxeon]

Oh ok good to know these are Guard's bots.

Report about bots:

- for some reason on hoth after they get through on the 1st obj they leave the atst in the doorway.
- sometimes they just run by at the bridge control and do nothing (not sure if this happened after they have done it or before they done it)
- they don't yews the atst for destroying the generator
- they don't yews alt attack, so detpack cannot be blown up (they always shoot rocket on them instead of remote control) , but they can do combos
- rax jorises usually yews pistol , and they doesn't seem to be sure which weapon they are holding, I mean I saw one demo scrolling through on his weapons at least 3 times, before stopped.
- they don't yews force

Guard, if you already know these, please say it to me because then I'll stop watching on them and making reports of them. (if not probably I will make more)

Was bughunting yesterday, as well. Everything I found/noticed guard knows of or noticed at the same time.

Yes, if you ever played on Kurgan's Meatgrinder you'd notice that's how it works there too. They have certain flaws.
