Re: [hlcoders] Bots Server Plugins coming - woot
Nice. Looks pretty intelligent. (Moreso than most TF2 players). This might be a stupid question but can you still get achievements by killing the bots? I mean if they're on a proper server and you do something to them that would normally unlock an achievement.. garry On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 9:32 AM, Jeremy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So I've been working with Tony on exercising the new bot interface, and I must say it has me pretty excited.

Re: [hlcoders] Bots Server Plugins coming - woot
Congrats Jeremy I know you've been waiting for this for a long time. You've done some great work in those videos. My concern is that I really love playing TF2 and I don't think there's a need for bots in that game. I hope it's pretty clear when you're playing with bots and easy to avoid (ie, in the server browser.)

Re: [hlcoders] Bots Server Plugins coming - woot
This is one of my gripes. It would be easy to put in an IsBot() statement to prevent bots being used to get achievements. But that would be a valve side thing wouldn't it? -Original Message- From: Garry Newman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 4:49 AM To: Discussion of Half-Life Programming Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Bots Server Plugins coming - woot Nice.

Re: [hlcoders] Bots Server Plugins coming - woot
There's a column you can enable to show how many bots there are on a server, and they don't add to reported playercounts. A filter would certainly be nice though!

Re: [hlcoders] Bots Server Plugins coming - woot
Seeing as there are already bots supported by TF2 you would think that achievement earning would already be somewhat protected by their presence. Very nice work though guys, although tbh, can't say that I've played a game with bots for quite some time. The IEntityInfo sounds quite nice though, vfunc hooking is generally what you would need to use to get access to that stuff (and is something I am trying to refrain from using for a current TF2 plugin I am working on).

It's nice to see Valve finally give some bot lovin' again like they did when the first SDK came out for the original Half-Life. Way to go Valve! You guys and gals truly are the best. :) I may have to get off my butt and get back to some bot coding for Source once again. -- Jeffrey botman Broome ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
