Neat to see you guys doing some AI mods!

You guys could make a Left4Dead type of game mode with this I bet!

Have one team as human players, and the other as Zombies that use only picks, and can dig UBER fast!!!

Here is my psudeo-code:

Bot spawns.
bot chooses random number between 1 and 16.
bot always tracks to the player # that the random generator made.
Bot moves forward constantly attacking with the pick moving the aim slowly up and down so it can make a tunnel forward.

Other conditions:

**When chosen player dies bot tracks to new random number.

**When player is above the center of bot, aim pattern changes to tunnel up making a stair case.

**Bot Dies automatically after X amount of time in case it gets stuck. (use this incase any other rule fails for some reason.)

**Bot also dies if the bot dose not move in the Y+ forward direction for X seconds. (give it time to fall from the top of the map, to the water + the time it takes to break a few blocks.)

Other things you might Add:

**Make some of the bots track to the intel or tent. When 3 bots occupy the intel, or the capture tent zone the round is over, Zombies the victor! (or any bot occupy zone for X amount of time.)

** Have a boss bot that can fly, and choose nearby players for a random "Swarm" mode where all bots go after 1 player for X amount of time. (might be fun to increase the bots movement speed to make it more challenging, defending your team mates. )
L4dead does this swarm thing with the big exploding zombies. Pretty fun , totally changes game play.

Please make this for .58,

I BEG YOU!

Yes, I finaly found this thread!

plz update it for the new version of pyspades

no it should work fine i just didnt know if you were going to add anything else to it if not its okay 8)

If it does not run with new update (0.58) exchange client.exe in folder data with newer version.

Besides this I don't see any updates in near future.

you updating this sometime?

Woot For Dummies xD

It's not gonna happen.

To run this you have to:

1. Download and extract dummy.rar
2. Run your server
3. Connect to server with your regular client
4. Alt+tab
5. Run test_client.exe and wait 2 seconds.

This is if you don't want them to spawn in one place.
To have them spawn at specified location you have to download posted server.rar. Then it's like this:
1. Download and extract dummy.rar
2. Run downloaded server (run.bat)
3. Connect to server with your regular client
4. Alt+tab
5. Run test_client.exe and wait 2 seconds.

After this steps there should be a guy called Dummy running in circles.

yeah im stupid though so a turtorial vid would be nice!

you dont have to you could just put it in its own little thread and just sit it there and see if people like it or not

I'm pretty lazy so I don't know if I'll develop them more.

@Szuwar you should create your own topic with these bots... maybe "D-Bots"
(like D-day, but D for dummies and Bots)

Oh thank you.

duh.

dummy.rar. I thought it was quite obvious.

wheres test _client.exe?
Which one do I download?

You could just run test_client.exe and it should connect to localhost. Be sure you're there before him.

OK NOW HOW DO I USE IT?!

WTF!
Where do i download!

^^^ (read) this awesome guy created us working bots!!!

ok, plz tell me what happened, I was asleep and all of a sudden 52 posts come up, WHAT IS GOING ON?

tryed it it works fine (i was digging the ground from underneath them to make them fall xD)

I guess I would need to make my own pyspades build. That mean installing windows, then python, py2exe and then compile it into exe. A lot of work so you have to wait.

@Marksmanship:
I'll try to add it. BTW, have you successfully run this?

So here it is:
Windows build of dummy:

(virus check: virustotal.com)
This version should connect to localhost and act like a moron. No shooting yet. I forgot to add info file so here it is:

This is ready to run version of bot.
Use those tips to avoid errors:
1. You have to be connected to server before adding new bots.
Otherwise they'll be buried underground.
2. If you leave server for a moment, bots going to bury themselves.
In this case you need to reset them (close dummy program and kick them).
3. You could run many instances of test_client.exe.
At least as many as your computer can handle.
Bandwidth shouldn't be an issue here.
4. Be prepared for them to run loose on your server.
5. If you're not using modified version of pyspades server then they'll
respawn like any other player would.

And here is modified version of pyspades server. It is already configured so just run it and it should work. Everything is like normal pyspades server. Removed some maps to save space.

I've only changed spawn position. Blue spawn on the edge of C2 grid and green spawn on edgo of C4.

from what ive seen there is no file inside of the .exe named client.py or server.py

bump

bump! answer him im having trouble too! a installation video would be good to!

have you gotten it to work yet for the windows build

@Szuwar: I wouldn't want it to be 100% accurate anyways. Then it would be pretty much impossible to play.

@Reverend:
Fixed.

@Marksmanship:
They could shot in your general direction. It's not going to be 100% accurate.
