What version of the Frogbots are you using and where do you download them?
that version of the frogbots is modified 012c version First of all, how long did you watch the Frikbots to see them making those mistakes? They do make mistakes, sure, but your demo showed the worst case scenario. I'll bet you showed the best case scenario for the Frogbot's, which I would argue is equal to the Frikbot's worst case scenario. both demos was recorded with only one attempt. believe or not. I would like to compare their navigation on a more complicating map than p3a and upload my own "comparision". which map do you calling "more complicated"? i know that frogbot can't play any map, some of the maps are too complicated for frogbot to play. eg. dm2 Where can I get the modified 012c verson of the Frogbots? And can I use it in anything else but Quakeworld? I can only seem to find a QW version...
The Frikbots have dm2 support, but the waypoints were not done by me. They do a pretty good job of obtaining everything and activating some of the traps. Complicating maps include anything with hard to reach powerups, like ztnbase, damaul2, cmt1b, etc.. An example would be the pentagram in "Agent.bsp". Can the Frogbots obtain it? Can they use the secret teleporter in ztndm6? Can they It's rare that I come across a button-combo/item that the Frikbots cannot obtain. How about the powerups in efdm12? Can they reach the pentagram, Quad, and ring of shadows? just a question, and it may be a frikbot problem rather than waypointing, but a few times I caught them stuck in wall corner. Happened a few times so it seems a frikbot bug but thought I would ask if you'd experienced it.
Any particular map or corner? The Frikbots, like all bots, will sometimes get stuck - but it shouldn't ever be for very long. Now, there is one bug in their combat AI code where if they are following a set path on top of a ledge, see someone and jump down to attack them, they will sometimes try to get back up to the place they were at - resulting in them stuck on a wall for a few seconds. They always get back on track though. If you see them doing it constantly in one spot, then something is up.
another nav comparison
gmdm1 http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/demos/gmdm1_dem.rar watch how many items the frogbot has picked up, and watch how many the frik has. Where can I get the modified 012c verson of the Frogbots? And can I use it in anything else but Quakeworld? I can only seem to find a QW version... i made it for myself by mysekf from an origianl v012 src itis nq only version Complicating maps include anything with hard to reach powerups, like ztnbase, damaul2, cmt1b, etc.. An example would be the pentagram in "Agent.bsp". Can the Frogbots obtain it? Can they use the secret teleporter in ztndm6? Can they It's rare that I come across a button-combo/item that the Frikbots cannot obtain. i see, no the frogbot can't perform such acts in fact there are actually no support for ztnbase,damaul2,cmt1b maps, but it can use the sec_tele in ztndm6 and anyway i'm playing with the powerups off. the items that hard to reach to frogbot can be easely moved via qc hack ;) I'm not sure what you mean by, "watch how many times they have picked up", but it seems to me that both bots had pretty decent navigation in Gmdm1. The Frikbot got stuck once in the Wind tunnel - but not for long. The Frogbot fell in the slime once, but not for long. I agree, the Frogbot's are awesome - don't get me wrong. Just don't start calling your own little Frogbot modification the best. Both bots have their strengths and weaknesses.
Please don't rip apart the Frikbot when it's obvious they aren't terrible like you say they are. It is kind of rude to come into my project thread and start talking about things that are beyond my control. I spent ages creating these waypoints. If you find issues with my waypoints themselves, then I don't mind hearing about it. I don't mind fixing bugs with the waypoints. Heck, since you know how to code, why don't you improve the Frikbot code? I would LOVE it if someone gave them more human-like aim, or fixed a few of the bugs I've seen while waypointing. Just don't start calling your own little Frogbot modification the best
i have never did it ;) It is kind of rude to come into my project thread and start talking about things that are beyond my control. sorry, i didn't want to abuse you, Heck, since you know how to code, why don't you improve the Frikbot code? sorry, but my coding knowlege is not enough to improve the Frikbot code, maybe frik could do it. i'm just stealing the code from here and there to paste it into theFrog. it is a really shame that frog himself has never completed his bot ((( sorry, i didn't want to abuse you
It's ok... I just don't like the feeling that I get when someone thinks my time and effort in creating these waypoints was wasted on a the wrong bot. I know these waypoints are about as good as they can get for the Frikbots, and I believe they do a damn good job of navigating some of the hardest maps. I probably could have made decent waypoints for the Frogbots too, but I chose the Frikbots because I felt they were very finished well-done bots for the most part. I still stand by my decision. maybe frik could do it. You mean Frika C? He's too busy these days. Believe me, I tried asking him. Hah. I can only hope for someone to pop up someday and fix a few of the bugs with the Frikbots. They really are my favorite bots in Quake, and I had a lot of fun creating these waypoints for them. p3a was the map I noticed it on, but I think your response about jumping down and trying to get to the same spot covers what I was talking about as that is usually when it happens.
cheers. Parboil made a great job in the FrogBot they play almost like a player... and they follow the objectives pretty well together, maps like cmt4 is pure fun on 4on4, but they don�t get penta :p
Anyway nice job Lightning_Hunter your objective wasn�t make bots better, was just to make a big waypoint pack like was did with frogbots some time ago Frogbots Big Pack , but you did for NQ and FrogBot is for QW, so was necessary work for NQ player! Well done cheers Here is an NQ Frogbot download with support for the 120 maps Trinca waypointed for Quakeworld:
http://quakeone.com/proquake/frogbots-099.zip I know Baker, but Parboil improved frogbot AI a lot... this is the old version i think!
the bots dont play as good as Parboil last versions the baker's frogbot mod is crashes with PR_ExecuteProgram3: misaligned edict 0 error.
??? aguirRe's glquake.exe Not sure why it doesn't run in Enhanced GLQuake.
If it runs in GLQuake and Fitz, then it isn't the fault of the mod. i think AguirRe's engines add additional error checking in the progs VM. So it could be a (potentially) bad thing in the progs.dat which most engines don't catch and rarely causes a crash.
maybe it should just be a warning since it obviously doesn't crash most other engines.
Is that for the mission pack only? Do you have a link to the Frikbots + Hipnotic? I won't be able to make waypoints unless I can load up the Frikbots with that map.
Links and more information, and I can probably make it for you. :) Hi, I have frikbot's progs.dat with hipnotic support.. Please see at http://eerie.anarxi.st/progs/
this is a phenomenal job by LH, really I mean the amount of map support is incredible.
I'm not sold on the frikbot but glad to have had the chance to test it out this thoroughly. Is LH still around? Was curious if any new maps got added to the rotation. I also found a new DM map that I want to make ways for Frikbot, but the system looks complex. Anyone here got tips on the best ways to waypoint a new map?
As for Frogbot, that DL link still works, however the progs.dat in there gives ne an error on makevectors when the engine tries to run it. Is that mod QW only? LH occasionally still shows up at quakeone.com.
Frogbots are generally used for QW, although Baker did make a NQ version of Frogbot Clan Arena a while back: http://quakeone.com/proquake/frogbots-099.zip |
