I use gladiator, but when/if I get the time I will make a route for the Eraser. The gladiators weren't doing to bad in jesters latest map, I heard them rjumping quite a bit, and occassionally they were using the jumppads correctly, but I don't think they will ever work out the Quad, so I don't bother going for it myself. 

do you think you could email me any eraser routes you have please?

also, have you tried the 3zb2 bots? From what I remember they were very good, especially with jumppads but the needed route creation as well. 

Jaces is one hell of a fine map. nice find Vorelord 

Thanx for the praise m8s! I suggest using the 3zb2 bots for some off-line play. They actually get the quad in jaces, not like the gladiator bots who can't seem to figure it out! 

Hi Func_MsgBoard ppl,

I want to apologize for:
1) my bad English (not my primary language);
2) my crappy site (actually, I did it in my lunch time at work, so bear with me :D );
3) no screenshots in the page (same as above, but I fixed that later);
4) ProHosting downtime (well, that's not my fault after all);
5) any Q2K4 bugs. I'd apreciate your feedback on it.

I guess that's it. Thanks to everyone who tried it. I am working to make Q2K4 better in my spare time. In a couple of days I will release a new version. 

 

Yes, Emailing you the routes would be no problem. Although my main bot has been the Gladiator, mainly due to the ease of creating the routes/aas files, and I think it's a better bot, or atleast as good as the eraser. Usually I don't get around to creating all that many routes for the Eraser(Laziness)So I don't have all that many, and not alot for newer maps. I think I have around 500(probably more), so it would be quite an attatchment. It may be better if you tell any specific ones you are after, and I will see if I have them, although keep in mind, alot of the later maps, I won't have Eraser Routes for, because, well, laziness again.

3zb2
Well, I'm sure I have that bot, maybe not the latest version, I'll have to check, and install the latest version and see what it's like, if it can do things better that would be great. If it can get the Quad in jaces, you won't be able to wipe the smile off my face :)

I also came across 2 more bots that I never heard off, which were rated higher than all others, TMGBOT, and Goldsoft Bot, both of which I will be trying out this weekend time permiting. If the 3zb2 or either of the 2 other bots turn out winners, I'll see how the routes are created for them, and if I have success, I will start making some routes for more of the newer maps. Which you would be welcome to if you wanted any.

Sorry for lengthy Post 

I am really quite surprised that alot of you have never came across them before. I thought everyone would have known. I also thought that alot off you may not be that interested in Q2. I must admit I prefer Quake, and Quake3, but I still like playing it, and Good level design is good level design no matter where it is, well,...... Maybe not if the game is a real stinker. 

Jester

Great maps, thanks heaps, they are much fun.

Q2K4

frag.machine, I look forward to your next release, keep 'em coming.
Oh,.... And don't worry to much about the Func_ bunch, they can be a hard bunch to please ;) 

just zip up all of them and send away if you can please. If the zip is more than a meg, send as many as you can.

I found the site that mentions TMGbot and Goldsoft as well, they're meant to be based of 3zb2 bots. I dont have time to check them yet but please post your results.

I used to have heaps of routes for 3zb2s when I played q2 dm, someone kindly made ones for maps that I liked. Now they're all gone ever since my HD crashed a while back. Pity, because the routes for some of the jumppad oriented maps were great. 

does anyone do omicron bot routes anymore?

^ is your site still there... i went to check out the screenshots but got a 404 :( 

when you say "q2 rotating brushes" do you mean that the collision detection on the rotating brushes actually works properly?

also, why am i seeing q2 monsters in e1m1? 

Hey VoreLord, would you mind posting your results and conclusion from when you test those bots? I'm interested in which is best, and might download it for some Q2 fun. 

Did you get my email two days ago? 

 

Okay I'm planning to setup a QW server; it probably won't be up a whole lot, and ping will be bad, but I want to put up a bunch of maps that don't get played often yet are still worth playing at least a few times. I'm quite open to suggestions, hence this post. So your thoughts?

Current maps I'm thinking of including are:

trw, balscy, balcc, baldm8, agent, carddm2, auhdm1, auhdm2, imp1dm6, filthy, lilith, jrdm1, jrdm2, pinion1, pinion2, pinion3, pbrdm2, oma, reinc1, reinc2, reinc3, reinc4, reinc5, rewired1, rf, rtz, sthdm3, strafin3, strafin5, strafin6, yog1dm1, zed, zed2, lacrima, ztndm6, gmdm1, geodm1, nindm3v2, unddm2, xntrick, edc, e1m2ish, tridm1, tridm2, tridm3

There is space for about 6 more maps. Also, if you think any maps listed should not be included--I've only played two of the reinc maps, so I dunno how the others play--lemme know why and I'll remove them. Remember: infrequently played, but fairly high quality maps are prefered. Don't be afraid to p1mp your own maps, too.

P.S. If there are a lot of good map suggestions, I can create a second maps.cfg and switch between the two when needed. 

And imp1dm6?? RPG urok! Demos plz, ppl! 

I'd like to get a nice mix of 1v1, 2v2, and FFA maps. (Aren't pretty much all maps good for FFA?) So if you have particular suggestions for some of those modes, be sure to mention those, too. 

trying hard to think of maps and failing :).
I don't really like the reinc series, so if you lost some of those i wouldnt be complaining.

I'd like to play on some gomjabbar maps, my favourite being gomdm4... also the new one gomdm6. Also... aggressr by Tyrann and Swk by Malelova.

Don't know how much any of those get played though 

Another thing I forgot to mention: I'm interested in putting up some MisYu and qurneL maps. Both authors generally have pretty high standards, but what are a few of their maps I could use?

Starbuck: thanks. I'll add gomdm4, gomdm6, and swk. I felt that aggressr was on a lot of servers already, which is why it's not included; however, inertia now tells me it's not, so I'll look into that. 

scampdm5 plz :( 

0MGAER0WALKS2!@@@@ 

e1m2, dm2, dm3, dm4, dm6, aerowalk, ztndm3 and povdmm4 are all maps you are ever going to need :) 

There really is no contest when it comes to Q2 bots. The 3zb2s play a great game of DM in most maps. They do tend to end up in the lower levels of maps alot of Z-Axis.
