Are you a lagger, cuz I am and I hate getting timedo out on a server,
What I think we need is a small map about 50x50 voxels with targets to shoot, these targets would dissapear when you kill them and then they would respawn, also you would be stuck in a bunker made of admin/god brick so you had to shoot from the window.

comments?

I like the idea, it'd be usefull to test out accuracy of custom ironsights for guns. And I'd like some sort of "botmode". Listen, I know it's unoriginal, but it'd still be pretty cool. Of course, it would take some effort to implement, so I'm not getting my hopes up :/

I like the idea, and if you do have internet, and you know one of your friends are on, you should be able to use a command called /invite (player name) so they can do target practice with you, but that could come after registration, and in a MUCH later uptate.

I would love this, it would be good practice for me to get better.
It's impossible to practice on multiplayer.

*THUMBS UP*
-I love this idea 8)
-I also like Reverend Brown's idea with the Botmode, because i cant get online that much but i love this game so i usually just build bunkers and what not and shoot targets i set up.... gets boring after a while.....

I was able to do something like this (dummies running around) but they weren't very smart. And code I've wrote is a mess.

If you want you could follow these steps to create this:
0. Make copies of files you're about to modify.
1. Define constant spawn positions for both teams no farther than 2 grid-squares away. (if you're going to modify feature_server of pyspades you'll be interest in function spawn() from ServerConnection class located in hg/pyspades/server.py. Just replace

if pos is None:
    pos = self.team.get_random_location(True)
    x, y, z = pos

with something like:

if self.team == 1: # if player is green
    x, y, z = (green_team_spawn_x, green_team_spawn_y, green_team_spawn_z)
else: #if player is blue
    x, y, z = (blue_team_spawn_x, blue_team_spawn_y, blue_team_spawn_z)

Remember that python is tab sensitive.
This is not tested so might not work. In case of error just use google. I'm almost sure it will help you solve this.
2. As you've said that you're going to play offline there is no need to block building-abilities or create indestructible structures.
3. There are 2 ways (probably more than 2) to create dummies.
A) Use test_client.py located in examples folder. This is the easiest way
B) Modify server.py

Option A) is easiest but also might take you some time. You have to take a look at client.py and protocol.py and then modify client.py to your needs.
I won't describe how to modify server.py because I think it might be a bad idea to add static players. I might be wrong though.

The way I described it is really half-assed and it probably work that way too. So you should ask someone at #pyspades irc-channel on QuakeNet.org server for further information and tips.

szuwar did you get rid of this little thing you put together if not could i try it?

I've got it but my conscience forbid anyone to look at it. It's just sooooo much mess.

awwhh fuck is there a demo! trust me i want to try it! PWEAZ!

i know how shitty things could like that! i just want to shoot some bots personally thats all

I'll post it when i;m sober

You could run a local server using server.exe, then connect to it and practice shooting out blocks.

yes true but i want other people on it

ones that are not so smart

when are you going to going to be sober?

want this!!!

You can KINDA make this. But you'd need players and it would have to be a private server. I like the idea though. If Ben releases the source someone COULD make it.

Be patient. It's gonna be soon.

i hope that will happen

bots would be cool :D
and maybe some point scoring thing, with blinks :D so you could try to beat your hiscore and all that good stuff

Bots are pretty hard as all the game physics happen on client side of the game. Basically you have to rewrite the client. If I'm being wrong then correct me.

Also I just realize that my version worked for version 0.50 so it might need some remodeling. I'll try my best to make it work tomorrow.

@Szuwar - Take your time, but if u could make bots u would win many many cool points 8D

yay! thanks again!

My biggest success now are bots running toward opposing team intel.
I don't know what you people expect as it looks like you anticipate quite intelligent bots. Don't get you hope up too much.

bots running towards intel are cool!

as long as it gets you something to shoot at that shoots back no matter how unfair it is in ur favor or there favor, its still something to do offline... 8) (Idea: you could make them randomly walk around and if you are in their line of sight they will shoot at you adding a sort of stealth to it without the pathing getting complicated) thx anyway Szuwar i know you will do a great job XD

let him get the first version out first dude and he might not make a second don't fucking put perssure on him!

i wasnt trying to pressure him you wouldve noticed that if you read the whole thing

bump
going to bed

well good luck making the game im going definitley to bed now
