Hello lovely people!

I have a question.. if it's possible.. can you lovely 3drealms people give me some more info about the bots in duke? The ai?

I know that they just basicly shoot everyone that gets in their way. If noone is near they run for the nearest item. But what happens after that? I'm building a map, trying to insert EXCELLENT bot play, but i'm stuck at this. When they retrieve a item or something, they just stand somewhere, looking around etc. Is there a way to get them to move again?

3DR can't help - for a start no-one who programmed it still works there. Secondly I believe Mr Silverman programmed the bots.

It's not going to happen - they are cack - live with it.

All I know is whenever I play with fake multiplayer, the bot always stands near a corner of some sort repeatedly jump-kicking the wall, until the AI detects my presence, then it blows me away and goes back to jump-kicking the wall.

There's an add-on for Duke 3D called SOB-Bots (http://home.wanadoo.nl/slinkers/sob-bot/download.htm) that you can try. I think they're a lot smarter than the built-in bots.

Jump-kicking the exact same wall, just waitin' for you to return to be slaughtered.
