Oak Bots

[Masterblaster]

I setup a TDM game.
I assigned the teams as follows:

MARINE TEAM
Myself
Tilman (bot)

STROGG TEAM
Martin (A bot I created)
Martin (A bot I created)

When I played, this is what I got:

MARINE TEAM
Myself
Martin (A bot I created)

STROGG TEAM
Martin (A bot I created)
Tilman (bot)

As you can see, the Tilman and the Martin bot were switched.
I duplicated this a few times.

Any update??

[twism]

lol...... yeh sorry master ( )

umm.... I've been getting stuckk every here and there, plus, I've had a lot of interuptions(friends visiting just as I start working on it), plus, Im kinda looking for a job at the moment, so havnt had a lot of time to just sit down and finish it.

But, it is nearly done.

The mapcycle creation is done(loading saving editing)
Basic AAS file creation is done
Extra bot options have been added
Most of the issues that you guys reported have been fixed.

So its just one or two smallish things need to be done, and I'll put it up.

Also, minimal testing has been done. So I'll hear back from you guys on things that need to be added/changed

Just keeping you up to date

cool! I installed XP just for the occasion

Guys great mod!!! specially when playing off line.

I was able to get at least doom3 up and runnin at work and been playing with some friends CTF in RoE or deathmatch, and equally fun with quake 4....

But the question here is, for doom3 how do i make the aas files necessary for bot integration on maps??? need the editor? or what else, since i tried some times without luck to do this....

I go to console, tipe the runaas and the console gives me 3 options, i go for the second one, (something ``brushes``) and i put the map. file and when i hit the enter, a console error appears and i get back to the load screen of the game....

What am i doin wrong????

[JLMode]

Nevermind you guys, i actually was able to do the thing i wanted and now im able to play other maps i downloaded from the web and that really rocked!!!

Just extract the .map files to your Doom3\base\maps directory, and then the runAAS option like the readme says, then go to the Sabot folder, a directory called ``maps`` should have been created with the necessary .aas files to play, just add those to the aas_d3dm.pk4 and you are ready to go!!!

I already do that to the ROE mp maps, so the big question right now is, you get the Sabot Mod loaded to play it with ROE???

I couldnt do this, each time i load ROE and the go to the mods menu to activate Sabot, it gets me back to Doom3 so i was unable to play ctf with bot support....

Any help will be appreciated...

And by the way, how do i add more skins like the ones the LMS mod added to the game???

Thanx

You need to download Sabot that is designed for ROE. It will install in a different directory than the regular Sabot. Run the batch file that comes with it. When Doom 3 loads, run Sabot from the console.
Get it here http://doom3.filefront.com/file/SABot;46802

By the way, I think CTF is much better in DOOM 3 than Quake 4.
I was hoping that the frontend being designed by twism could also be used for Doom 3. Because it ties with Q4Max, I don't think it is possible.

[twism]

mmm...... give me a while, and I'll start working on getting it to run with doom3...... first i have to get my hands on a copy of doom 3

Ill look at doom and figure out if it will be possible.

Thanks to all the guys around here for your help.

Let me know what you think

Wow, I can't wait to get home and try this (I'm at work).
It looks like you made a lot of additions and improvements.
The addition of AAS creation is a big thing. Lots of people are confused by this.
I assume that if we create AAS files for all maps it will not override the existing AAS files (some of these have been tweaked by the creators). Well I guess I shouldn't offer input until I try it!!
I will run it tonight and report back.
Thanks again twism for all of your hard work.
I can't imaging anyone would want to run Sabots without Quake4 FastStart.
