RealmWars Off-Line Bots

by Alex Loren · in General Discussion · 06/04/2002 (2:06 pm) · 5 replies

Is it posible to build RealmWars Off-Line Bots without having the TGE? I have had exp. programming bots for Counter-Strike and other similer games and now I want to make some for RealmWars but I don't have the TGE. If some one would reply and tell me if I can or can't that would be realy nice.

Well, TGE supports bots but they're not enabled on the build you can download. Probably you could ask one of the nice GG people to compile you a version with bot support? (I'd love one, too... Want to work on some bot-things m'self, but I can't.)

You could probably hack together some bot functionality, since you can manually set movement vector stuff for a player, but that'd be realllly painful.

Bots arent something you want to do with script. So you'll have to get a code license. 100 bucks is all it takes to step into the real world with the rest of development :))

Phil,

Just curious, why wouldn't you want to do bots in script?

Thanks,
Mike

Bots can take up alot of cycles and the more you have the more cycles they use up, so to reduce the overhead and speed up bot AI you program it in the source. (Just like graphics functions often use assembly since it is much faster) It is possible to do it in script, but you will take a performance in comparison to in source bots.

That's my opinion anyway,

Yes; exactly so... and there's no reason for all those people who shelled out hard earned cash for the source to let us who haven't get a free ride ;)
