Thanks Thorne. I think part of the reason their aim is so good is they all have 0 ping. Kind of hard to miss with that low of a ping.
I was always planning on working on navigation and roaming, picking up spew, secondary usage, etc.,. but life has recently dealt me quite the kick in the ass, and I am still recovering and picking up the pieces.
I have always been open to sharing the code with anyone who has a passion for descent and good coding skills, but that has not materialized. The best I can imagine happening is for me to get some time, and working on it again, although in reality, there is absolutely no free time atm and no real incentive to finish the code.
I always thought once navigation and roaming were completed, the entire AI scripting would and could be implemented in any game. I fully intended to have the botz as realistic as possible, and even implement taunting, but alas, I do not have the time atm.
I am glad that everyone likes the botz (well almost everyone) as they really are a creation of love. I hope they provide the necessary entertainment value and maybe even keep d3 alive a bit longer.

No time? I know how that goes. Maybe you'll get a second-wind when things settle down for you. Even if you don't, they'll be enjoyed as-is. After I discovered what they were, I joined back up just to play them for a while. Lot of fun.
I had a vision for D3 AI at one point several years ago, but alas I'm more of a web-engineer than a programmer (web-designer by practicality, programmer at heart). Sucks that there aren't 48 hours in a day.

you know what is funny now
real players masking themselves on the server as BOZ players
It would be nice to have an auto-kick function.... with a \"you are not worthy to wear [BOZ] Colors......\"

I seem to have a better workout dodging your stupidity than attempting to grasp the weight of your intelligence.

Bee
If the server "just runs the robots", you couldn't play.
If the server allows human players, then there's always the possibility of someone else joining.
... or are you asking someone to put up a server which somehow allows only you? If so, you'll need to host your own server off the trackers.
I think what she's asking for is what Bubba suggested:

It's nice when people think outside the box instead of only living in it!!

Re:
It should be as easy as seeing who or what is collecting spew.
It's never good to wake up in the shrubs naked, you either got way too drunk, or your azz is a werewolf.

It will always be 5/6 unless there are 6 human players
When a human player joins 1 bot leaves, and as soon as a human player leaves a bot joins it always stays 5/6
until there are not more botz

Personally that seems a pretty silly idea. I guess if you can host a bunch of different servers with robots it'd be ok, but I definitely don't want the primary server to only hold one human. For example, IceHammer and I had a couple fun ones a few months ago vs. the the bots and each other. And pretending to be a bot when I know that at least one of the other players is human is so much fun.

It would be better to use [BOT] instead but it looks like that was taken.
Thanks for the laugh.

Holly crap, those things where bots? I guess that explains how they have laser like Vauss skills but don't know how to dodge missiles...
Very impressive work SuperSheep, they blow away anything Outrage ever put in the game.
BTW, is there a list of the bots along with their skill levels? I swear one or two of them where people, just because they couldn't even hang with the other bots.

Re:
I had 25 on the easier ones when they were in Ascent awhile ago. I could probably kill even more if I actually tried for it, and Behemoth/Zero/Darktalyn/Ryujin could easily do even better.RetZ wrote:Maybe we could share some BOZ demos in this thread?

Re:
I can get a good strike with the sheepish use of Megas, but not without.
Confession
I've been saying goodnight to the BOZ' LMAO! wondered why they never used secondaries. I thought it was some BOZ clan pledge so I never use secondaries when I play them. Also wondered why they were always playing (no lives). My wife guessed that they were monkeys in a psych experiment. It willbe nice to use secondaries again.
