The bots are way too easy to kill.

Trust me the AI ones kill you on first look and don't defrost as much. You will rage quit harder than a bent penis at full thrust. These guys are nice, they are polite, and let you stress the server with repeated player like activities.

Bots are fun when there are only a few players. Once it gets more full, they just make the game ridiculous. 

And REALLY not a fan of the self-defrost. Might as well run right into the enemy spawn and do your best as there's no worry of getting stuck there.

 

Please see my message above.

You guys started playing here before we made adjustments, this is a surprise for us. We are happy that you're enjoying it and that the mod is stable but we weren't ready for it to become prime time (no pun intended @Primetime) today.

I am having issues loading this one. I am unable to get into the game.

What happened? Can you offer more details?

• Smart Bots v2 deployed
• Placeholder bots set at 16 max
• Auto defrost disabled
• Use Quick Message (On me/Regroup) to call the bots to your location
• They will chase you with a RCXD
• They will use UAV defrosters
• They will use Predator missiles, AC130, AGM, Helis etc
• Bots will taunt you and occasionally t-bag your body

This is a stripped down version of the smart bots. People, it's a 20 year old game. It doesn't have modern features, it is not running a full fledge LLM. There's a limited 4MB memory and I can only use few 10s of KBs to make the bots smart but also leave enough room for all your shenanigans. The bots do defrost you, if you are close to them. They will not come all the way to the enemy spawn just to die for you. They play conservatively. If a bot is the last one alive, it will hide and try to get a car and defrost the closes frozen player. 

Please note bots are intended to be temporary and not a permanent addition, unless you folks want them. These are there for you to stop by and shoot some shit when you want to kill time.

I made some network config updates too. If you were a bit laggy you should see improvements.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who stopped by the server and tested it with the bots. You have directly helped us gain confidence that the server is ready for re-launch. Some of you may recall, I made a post about two tracks, 1 creating a brand new mod and 1 running the current mod on Cod4x server for all its advantages. This is the 2nd track. The stability issues were unforeseen but we reacted as quickly as circumstances would allow and stayed committed to bring this to you. Over the course of the last  couple of weeks, we have bombarded the mod with heavy load, both people and custom created AI bots. After the last fix I made, the sever and the mod stayed stable consistently. 

Now I have noticed, very rarely Steam authorization will fail. When this happens the server will disconnect you, and you only. It doesn't mean it crashed, it simply tells you that it disconnected. It happened to me today when I left myself in spec for 9 hours. The server was up for roughly 3 days and hosted plenty of games with the bots, including the surprise traffic on Wednesday. 

Rugger will send out a message for the clan. The bots have been removed, and the server has been given a fresh restart. 

Have a great Sunday.
