Title: New plugins
Post by: Sandman[SA] on September 07, 2014, 01:46:49 am
This plugin was per request.

As some may already be aware, RCBots are unable to determine what chamber was placed on a ceiling via stickychambers plugin, and there-for will not attack any chambers placed in this manner unless a scan was used.  The commai plugin can not scan for the bots.  It can only place marine structures, randomly hand out weapons, jetpack and heavy armor and upgrade TF's and resource towers.

So I came across a plugin that I think should solve this issue, it's called personal scanner or "pscan" for short.

This plug was designed to allow individual players to call for a scan when they used impulse command 15.  (All Clear)  Since RCBots love to call for med packs (impulse 10) all the time when they take on damaged, I figure that this plugin should do the trick.  Please let me know if you notice any problems with this plugin.

Okay.  So I tested the plugin out today with the bots and it would appear that they only call for meds when someone is in the comm chair.  So instead, I changed the impulse command to 13 (enemy spotted) and this works perfectly.   So now, if the bots spots an enemy, he will call for a scan and then they will see and attack chambers on any surface.  Now sieges are a bigger problem.

Cool that seems pretty good :)  More like REAL players :D

That was a point to the request.  It was just too easy to defeat the bots when they are unable to fight back.  A gorge has to work a little smarter now if they want to win.  >:D

New plugin as pre many requests.

"NS Roll the dice" has been added to the plugin list.  It's on both servers.  But I haven't tested the alien effects yet.

Anyway, please let me know if you find any issues with the plugin.
