TDBots Mk2 - v1 (11/05/2022)
Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v25 (31/3/2020)
Updated! This update packs a couple additions that some people might like a lot.
Full changelog, since there are only 3 changes:
-New option: Learn map from player. When enabled, the TDBots will resort to
learning the map from the player's exploration of it if there's no loaded
waypoint file for the current map. Works in Zandronum as well!
(NOTE: Use Waypoints must be ON for this to work, and this only takes
effect in Deathmatch and competitive modes!)
-New option: Teleport cooldown time. This is the amount of time in seconds
before you can call a bot to your location again. Minimum delay is 5
seconds, and max is 120 seconds (4 minutes).
-Waypoints should REALLY be invisible now. Sorry, I don't know how I keep
messing this up!
Hey, if you have a mod you want to request a compatibility patch for, don't be afraid to ask! If you provide a link with your request, I'll definitely look into making a compatibility patch for your mod of choice.

Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v26 (3/4/2020)
Updated! This update improves the map learning feature significantly.
Before I go into the changelog details, I want to point out that deathmatches with the TDBots in ZDoom are unsupported. Thanks to
the built-in ZCajun bot AI interfering with the TDBot AI, various unfixable bugs have arised in ZDoom only, which include extremely poor following
of waypoints, inability to fire consistently well at an opponent, the inaccuracy flag having the exact opposite effect and even more. These aren't
issues in Zandronum as the built-in AI can be easily disabled and thus there's no interference with the TDBot AI.
I'm not gonna take any bug reports for deathmatches in ZDoom for those reasons, as most bugs are outside of my reach to fix. If you can prove the
bug also happens in Zandronum, I'll gladly listen to your bug report. And I'll also try to provide some support for cooperative gameplay in ZDoom, because
at least that is worth fixing (i.e ZDoom provides a bit better experience in co-op than what Zandronum does).
With that out of the way, most of the changelog is as follows:
-Added a compatibility patch for Armageddon Invasion, this patch was made by
proerd888 at TSPG a while ago, but I did not find out until recently when I was
digging around in TSPG. Anyways, thanks to proerd888 for this.
-Bot learning is better now, they will begin to use an incomplete version of
the info 30 seconds into the match, and will update their knowledge when at 1
minute, update again at 1 minute 30 seconds, and one last time at 2 minutes.
This improves their ability to learn larger maps and also makes them learn
noticeably faster.
-"Use Waypoints" no longer needs to be enabled for "learn the map from player".
-Removed the option for accurate waypoint following. It's always activated
now as performance difference is negligible, and some people that didn't
change the option would get a very bad first impression otherwise.
-Cleaned up the first post, now there's less overwhelming stuff, usage guide has
been shortened to only what's necessary, added a bit of a guide for installation in Delta-Touch,
and there's ever so slightly less links scattered around and instead put into a better spoiler tag.

It should spread the plasma shots and other guns that shoots slow projectiles at high rates towards the player. Watch it become as good, if not better than zandronum bots at using plasma.
Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v26 (3/4/2020)
That might be a good idea for another flag, or I think this could be done already with BotForceInacc. I'll test and then release an update when it's done.

Updated! This is a very small one, it just makes the bots use the Doom's Plasma Rifle, Chex's Phasing Zorcher, Heretic's Skull Rod slightly more intelligently.

Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v26c (23/4/2020)
Updated! This is mostly a bugfix update.
Full changelog as follows:
-Map learning now works on all competitive gamemodes, instead of only Deathmatch (This was always the intention, but I messed up on a line of code).
-Fixed nodelist info being displayed multiple times in certain cases.

Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v26c (23/4/2020)
I created a weapon patch for aow, but it doesn't work correctly. The bots will target actors on the same team and building.
Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v26c (23/4/2020)
This isn't a weapon patch problem, but rather an issue with the mod in Zandronum (I think I figured out a fix in GZDoom some versions ago). I'm not sure of a good way to make them identify teammates.

Re: TDBots v27: The "we're one" update!
Well, I guess it's time to update the TDBots. I don't think the last update was too long ago, I mean, how much time could've pass- HOLY CRAP IT'S BEEN 9 MONTHS?!
Okay okay, maybe it's been a while, but to compensate for that, this update finally marks the day where both the GZDoom and Zandronum version have feature-parity...
...which also means that the TDBots in Zandronum are now infinitely superior to when they're used in GZDoom, so there's hardly any reason to even use them in GZDoom besides for mods/mapsets that aren't compatible with Zandronum, unfortunately.
Here's the full changelog from v26c:
-Merged both the GZDoom and Zandronum version into one, so now Zandronum players can play using the normal version.
(The bots still work much better in Zandronum vs GZDoom, please use it if you can)
-Bots will no longer shoot neither friendly monsters nor players in co-op, and
they also won't shoot players in their own team (in team-based modes).
Yes, for real this time, and it works in Zandronum too.
-Bots can now follow players in Zandronum too, and they'll pick the closest
player to follow online.
-Bots now switch between weapons they have in vanilla.
-tdbots_usenodes no longer needs to be enabled for following the player, or
learning the map.
-Slightly cleaned up the TDBot_Main script (less duplicate code).
-Removed the ability for bots to seek items. The only place where this was
even remotely useful, was in bot-only matches, other than that the
map learning renders it obsolete, and it stops bots from eating up your
ammo in co-op. This change was done as it was the only feature left that
the Zandronum version didn't have, and it wasn't worth keeping the split.

Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v28 (19/06/2021)
New update!
I've probably said in the past that more realistic player movement and bot orders are not worth the effort/impossible. Well, now past me looks even more like an idiot because this update includes that and quite a bit more stuff!
The highlights of this v28 update are:
-Bots move a lot more like a real player. Instead of always being able to stop
instantly and accelerate back to full speed immediately, they now take a
bit of time to accelerate and change movement directions.
-You can now give orders to bots! It's very basic, but aiming at a bot and
pressing the "Bot order" key (needs to be bound in customize controls!)
in cooperative will make that bot switch between hold position and roaming
modes.
The new "Allow bot orders" option ("tdbots_alloworder" CVAR) lets you
disable this even in cooperative, if you choose to.
-New command: tdbots_dumpnodes. This dumps the current map learning results
(updated until 2 minutes into the match).
This very much allows you to export them as any regular nodelist, like
the ones created in nodestudio for instance.
-Bots now walk when moving through a path of precision nodes, to avoid falling
off easily (with moderate success, needs testing :p)
And a couple other fixes. Check out the full changelog in the first post if you're interested, and download the mod while you're at it too!

Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v29 (17/08/2021)
NOTE: if you downloaded v29, please update to v29b! It's a hotfix to fix a bug with the auto teleport randomly teleporting bots online, when no player is in-game.
It's that time, yet again! It's not the biggest update ever, but it sure has a couple requested features, and an important change.
I'll let the changelog speak for itself:
-Switched to using BCS as the compiler. Some of it's features are currently used, like enums and getting the length of an array (for chat arrays).
-Added option to teleport bots to the player they're following automatically if they're too far away (tdbots_autoteledist).
(yes, you can stop asking for this one now lol)
-Bots now alert monsters when shooting.
-New global flag: TDBots_EnableAnimation. If an actor named like this exists, animation overrides that were always on from pre-v28 builds are enabled.
Alternatively, the tdbots_forceanim CVAR also does the same.
-Bots now turn around if they've been sliding along a wall for too long (mostly relevant when navigating without waypoints, any players, or map learning enabled).
And a couple other minor fixes.
Thanks to everyone for the support, and thanks to guest6777 who's been creating some patches, namely for Complex Doom Invasion, Futur War and Shotgun Frenzy Plus. Need help with those difficult waves? Go try them out!

Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v30 (06/11/2021)
Updated! This update has some super good stuff that's been wanted since day one!
And also fixes a handful of issues, a couple that have happened for a very long time. Oops.
Here's most of the changelog:
-Added an universal patch for Zandronum! When loaded (and it should be loaded
last in the load order), the bots are able to fire any mod weapons the
native Zandronum bots could, and also know if a weapon is a melee weapon
automatically.
-Added a waypoint list addon for QC:DE maps! Currently 6 FFA and all 4 duel maps
are supported, with more to be added in the future.
-The Rocket Arena weapon list now doubles as a weapon selection list.
So, if the mod has a RA weapon list, bots can randomly switch between
the weapons listed in it, if they have the weapon (independent of whether
Rocket Arena is on or off).
-Bots now use MeleeRange instead of Accuracy as the property to set their
movement speed. This also fixes Strife compatibility. It's been broken since
v17! Very sorry for this long-standing issue!
-Bots now set the speed to default if undefined after morphing. Fixes a bug
most notably in D4T that would keep them from moving while under the
effects of a demon rune.
-Nodes can now be placed in the map itself correctly, as in old versions.
Load the TDBots pk3 as a resource and you should see a new category with
the nodes in a supported editor (DB2 and newer, and SLADE) with some fancy
icons courtesy of inkoalawetrust!
-"bot has no script defined, he will not do anything" message removed in Zandronum.
-Fixed bug that would make the bots say "lol tdrr fix this you moron" randomly.
(at least the message does it's job, lol)
-And added a SPECIAL_THANKS lump, thanking a few people for contributions and
motivation. I hope I didn't miss anyone!

Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v30 (06/11/2021)
Hey,
I stumbled across your bots and they are great! I love how they actually explore the map and are less CPU intensive BY FAR. I have been working on an LMS/Battle Royale mod for Brutal Doom for a while now. It is near complete. But the botplay with the included Zandronum bots is lacking. They are great at combat, but do weird stuff like freeze up, won't reload, and can't really explore. I want to implement your bots, I know I can add waypoints in my editor, I have tried it and it is working good. However, I have some questions before I can fully implement:
#1) can your bots be made to switch weapons in Brutal Doom? Use grenades?
#2) can they be made to swim?
and #3)Can they aim vertically (I notice they don't)
These are three main factors that prevent me from utilizing your bots over the Zandronum ones. I am not asking for you to fix these things or anything, but was seeing if they are planned features or if you could offer a little guidance? Of course, if you wanted to collab on this that'd be great, too! Below is a link to
my mod: https://www.moddb.com/mods/brutal-hell-royale

Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v30 (06/11/2021)
Yes to both. In fact, the Brutal Doom v21 compatibility patch in the main post already does the latter, and additionally makes them reload their weapon even if they've not fired all their shots if they don't have anything to shoot at.
Weapon switching isn't added by that patch, however it's not hard to add on your own as v30 now makes use of the Rocket Arena weapon list to switch weapons. All it involves is creating a LANGUAGE lump on your pk3 and putting this in it:
Code: Select all
[enu default]
TDBOTS_RA_WEAPONS = "weapon;weapon;weapon";
TDBOTS_RA_AMMO = "ammo;ammo;ammo";
As an example with some of D4T's weapons:
Code: Select all
[enu default]
TDBOTS_RA_WEAPONS = "D4Shotgun;D4SuperShotgun;D4HAR;D4Chaingun;D4RocketLauncher;D4GrenadeLauncher;D4PlasmaRifle;D4LightningGun;D4BFG";
TDBOTS_RA_AMMO = "D4Bullets;D4Shells;D4Cells;D4Rockets;D4Slugs;D4Megasphere";
Not sure. I've tried before but didn't find any success, bots kept sinking and no change in velocity would help to move them at all. This seems to be tied to mass but then there's the issue that players will be kicked back further the more mass is reduced (and no, it can't be changed dynamically in Zandronum AFAIK).
Basically, I doubt it.
If you need any more help you need then please let me know! Sorry for the delay in my reply, and also sorry because two of the issues you asked can't be fixed at least right now. Wish I could do more but at the moment I can't think of any fix on my end.Trudaddy wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 11:20 pmThese are three main factors that prevent me from utilizing your bots over the Zandronum ones.

Re: TDBots: The fast-performing bots v30 (06/11/2021)
Thanks for responding! I have tried the BrutalV21 TD Bots patch, they do not reload until empty. I load the patch after I load Brutal Doom. Other than the load order I don't know what else would be wrong. I will check again! I will try the weapon list as well! Thanks for this information.
The bots that come with Zandronum swim and can aim along the Z axis, so this must be possible. They also jump as well, just not intelligently lol. Any further thoughts?
Thanks again! I am still interested in your bots, even for a different project I am cooking up!

Yes, but of course that's a very different thing. Those are native bots and can modify and do anything as they please, because they have integration into the source code. 99% of what I'm doing is largely DECORATE + ACS hackery, as such I don't have anywhere near the same level of flexibility.
That's great! Hit me up if you need more help or any feature that could be reasonably implemented.

Re: TDBots Mk2 - Preview (24/02/2022)
Sorry to keep y'all waiting, but hopefully this preview build makes up for it.
It's here, the "sneak peek" of the TDBots Mk2, an almost total rewrite. Now with 100% more mod compatibility out of the box, more aiming up and down, and other great changes. This one is a bit big, but I'd really recommend giving the changelog a read!
Oh, and there's 100% less GZDoom compatibility here, it's officially now a Zandronum bot only.
v30 will stay there for anyone who (for some reason) wants to put up with the buggy mess that is using any bots in modern GZDoom (which is, again, a bug with the port, not the TDBots, and nothing can be done from my side). They should work decently in ZDoom, and older L/GZDoom releases, however.
Some features are currently missing. Remember this is a preview, and mostly the essential things are reimplemented!

Re: TDBots Mk2 - v1 (11/05/2022)
Updated! Very sorry for the long wait, I hope it's worth it for you all.
This is the first "full" release of Mk2, and is now almost feature-complete. Most features from the legacy version that haven't returned here, are thus unlikely to come back.
Since this is the first full release, everything related to the legacy version is now moved to a separate spoiler on the main post, to reduce the clutter a little bit (still not perfect, but an improvement).
In short- a couple more mods have enhanced support, some requested features are now here, certain features are finally back from the legacy version, and there's a couple new things for modders along with bug fixes.

Hey, your bots are really cool! With latest release I can finally play Samsara Reincarnation with them (I did the patch before, and then I abandoned it, but now it's very cool to play with them). Keep going!
Re: TDBots Mk2 - v1 (11/05/2022)
This looks solid!
In reality, this world is free from suffering and pleasure.
The more you are attached to pleasure, the more you fear pain
The harder you pursue virtue, the more you obsess over evil
The more you seek success, the more you fear failure
The more you find value in something, the scaried becomes its loss
The more you get attached to living, the more terrifying becomes
The dance of ego never ends.
But there is no need to worry.
Enjoy the times of pleasure,
and when the hardships come it's okay to feel sad!.
