Hope this question to developers is not asked in vain

Interesting.

FYI:

Just hit a brick wall on my idea of using the q3 bot source thats already in Wolf: it WILL connect a bot, but it crashes the .exe at seemingly random times, on an empty, dedicated server.

Also a lot of AI related trap calls/funcs seem to be broken or disabled, I had to comment out, or replace a load of them just to get the bot to connect period.

Its hard to tell for sure, since everytime it crashes, it doesn’t do so in the game DLL where I can debug it, but in the .exe, with no msgs or warnings.

Jeez.

I seriously hope that Splash Damage will release those bots in ET - or at the very least (even if they do suck), make it possible for the community to take them up and finish them. Leave them in the code, tucked away from the average gamer if you wish, but in plain site for coders.

Please.

I for one will gladly take them up.

btw: I’ve heard before that its impossible to add bots to RTCW using the q3 bots structure - does anyone know what all they did to make this so? And is it something that can be reversed, without access to the .exe?

just dont use the existing code, just use some of the intersting functions they made for the quakeIII bots.

what trap calls are actually broken ?
atm we are not having problems with them.

most of the traps that are related to the AAS seem broken (I get unexplained crashes in the .exe anytime I try to use one).

Seeing your reply to my other bot post, it seems they ARE broken, and that it was prolly intentional (for whatever reason).

Guess I’ll have to write a waypoint/bot loading system, or perhaps contribute to your system if/when you release the src to yours.
