[Ally]

I still haven't had a game with any dMw people. I'll try join on a wednesday but i have band practise then so i get back a bit late. I'm Really enjoying this game :narnar:

[Dr Sadako]

Idling usually does the trick.

[Lee]

I have the game coming soon so should be on there now and again.

[Lucian]

Pity the server cant have bots...

[Carr0t]

CS:S has bots. How come TF2 got released without any?

Steve Bond, the lead AI guru behind the vicious enemies in Half-Life, will be the point man for the bot's AI in TF2. The base concept that the AI will be built off of is a "learning design," (the artificial combatants learn from their mistakes and successes.) A great example of this is the engineer bot, "he" will build sentry guns and then track the amount of time until each is destroyed, how many kills it achieved, where the enemy is, and so forth. After building sentry guns in a variety of locations, the bot will "learn" what works and what doesn't, and then will pick the best location for its defenses almost every time.

This learning AI is interesting because it will be incorporated into every players' individual games as well, charting their success and offering suggestions onscreen to improve their play. As players improve, the ghost bot will offer fewer and fewer pointers.

Teams will be able to practice against teams of bots, and bots can be used to round out teams short on members. Should a new player log on, one of the bots will drop out to make room; conversely, players who drop out of games will be replaceable by bots. In addition to that, a player could fill both teams with bots, and become commander of one team, thus having a true RTS game (ala Starcraft/CNC/ect).

For commander bots: there will be a bot able to control a team of bots so a player can take on a team completely comprised by the computer. Taking that a step further, the commander bot will also be able to command a team of human players.

Isn't this from when TF2 was still going to have a commander (in one if the earlier incarnations of the game).

Think whe like it pw protected GM cos there are alot dMw members that wanna learn the maps first.

Edit: Ore you can set up Poll GM too see what people want..

[Lee]

I got TF2 today, but agreed the server seems to have been empty a lot when i was checking the server prior to getting the game, so i think that making it public would be a good idea, at least it would be getting some action.

[DaRkLiGhTeR]
