The bots strike back!

Postby zulu » Thu Jul 12, 2018 5:00 pm

In recent years the Far Cry bots have led an unhappy life on our assault servers. We mercilessly hunted and killed them, fooled and outwitted, belittled and humiliated the poor guys. I did it, you did it, we all did it. In fact we gave them such a hard time and made their lives so miserable that they often would not even dare to come out of their spawn huts anymore. And if they did, they would just cuddle together at the flag, searching for a little piece of happiness in their woeful existence.

But enough is enough! Now it's time for the bots to stand up and take their revenge - they won't have any of this no more! They went back to school, took lessons in how to master the assault game mode and graduated summa * laude. Oh yeah, and they finally bought a GPS... :D They who laugh last laugh best! JOIN US THIS FRIDAY NIGHT on the servers and find out for yourself if they passed their exams rightfully!

LR brings back the advanced Verysoft bot script by legendary Mixer (with contributions by Garbitos, Turnst!ll and others), turning the clownish buffoons of yesteryear into relentless killing machines. They will never retreat and will pay you back for all the years of abuse you have given them. Once they've set their eyes on the flag they only have one goal on their mind: Taking it by all means necessary!

Our very own *RD*Kr!eger has upgraded their abilities and might add more improvements in the coming months to create even more formidable and unpredictable opponents. We urge you to check them out and see how well you can do against them. Playing alongside the brainy bots is also a nice way of practising for the next FWL tournament and having a good time till real players join you on the servers.

So far we have prepared 18 assault maps with bot enhanced attacking and defending pathways. Check this thread for news on upcoming maps that will rock the servers soon. We will add more in the next weeks and improve on them as time permits. The numbers in brackets show you the available bot pathways for each map:

Astaron:
  • am_assault01 (131)
  • fc_tv (188)
  • mp_px_airstrip (124)
  • mp_px_dune (138)
  • mp_px_freighter (118)
  • mp_px_jungle (134)
  • mp_px_mangoriver (125)
  • mp_to_cargo (130)
  • mp_to_cryassault (131)
  • mp_to_ruins (111)
  • mp_to_swamp (145)
  • mp_to_swamp_v2 (149)
  • mp_2v2_dam (48)
  • mp_2v2_humanstructure (60)
  • mp_2v2_toon (67)
  • mp_2v2_warhead (61)
Deltree:
  • mp_2v2_aztec
  • mp_railway
If you want specific maps to be added please post your wish list in this thread. Also, if you have suggestions, spot bugs or want to help us with creating more bot enhanced maps please get in contact. We are looking forward to your feedback and hope you'll have fun!

For those among you with server admin rights you should also take note of the 2 most important commands that will allow you to manage the bots:

  • bot_quota: Number of bots on the server (0 to maximum number of server slots). Don't overdo it, the bots eat up performance! If you turn this number up for fun, please put it back to what it was before you leave the game. Example: "bot_quota 8".
  • bot_difficulty: How aggressive the bots will be (1 = easy | 2 = standard | 3 = hard). Example: "bot_difficulty 2".
Just type these commands into the rcon server command console and enjoy the show! Do you wanna bet money on which side will win? 8-)

Hey guys, I created 4 more bot enhanced maps and updated most others:

  • mp_2v2_humanstructure (60)
  • mp_px_dune (138)
  • mp_to_ruins (111)
  • mp_to_swamp_v2 (149)

The numbers in brackets tell you how many bot pathways each map has to offer for your entertainment. If you want to see what to expect from each map please also check the first posting again -- I added the numbers for my older maps too.

Enjoy!

Deltree has been working hard adding features to the FWL page, setting up our new tournament and writing detailed how-tos for the bot path creation. But he is too modest to mention that he also created bot maps for 2 popular maps himself:

  • mp_2v2_aztec
  • mp_railway
Big shout-out to him! :ok!:
If you haven't already seen these enhanced maps on our servers, make sure you give them a try.

Three more maps have been "botified":

  • am_assault01 and mp_to_cryassault (essentially the same map)
  • mp_2v2_toon
131 and 67 bot paths, respectively, will hopefully offer you a few surprises and quite a bit of variety. Check them out!

One more map got the bot treatment with no less than 188 bot paths:

  • fc_tv
This map has built-in AI and has also been prepared with bots in mind (self-destructing fortifications upon flag capturing, bot blocking and forbidden areas). So it should hopefully give good results when you play it with a few of those reckless computer pals enabled. :)
