ZOMB is back! (Page 1 of 2)

Oh nice! I really like it :3
Good work

HeroiAmarelo, this mod was in 0.5 version by Rajh. After this have been started make mods zChaos and aiZomb. (ZOMB N-client ported from Rajh mod).
KittyPL, thank you and fisted, eeeeee for updating, if it will be without "new things" i will love you.

P.S. Winged and Hooked zombies weren't. Yang zombie, zombie, elder, king (after dune call tank), after dune boomer and hunter (from left4dead). Was one type survival.

You can choose any number of zombies, 56 is just max

I'm not going to make any beta servers since mod is almost unplayable now
When it gets at least a bit functionable I will make one.

It wont be same as rajh's mod. You can change code, I repeat: THIS WILL BE OPEN SOURCE, and make it exactly same as Rajh's.

Thx Dune = )

Waypoints was eeeee's and fisted's idea, I just implemented it

I gonna ask Sushi about his AI, i haven't heard about it...

Any test server??

Sahan - Yes

calystos - PM me, tell me about your skills, experience etc, I will give you my skype and we can talk. I think tee-code isn't really needed, since you are going to modify only one teeworlds fuction (player->tick). Also bot controlling is really simple, you don't really need to know this. It's much better if you know some AI theory and general C++ well.

Dark Hunter - Not yet. I will announce when it's ready. Working hard. I have some problems with waypoint following now Also trying to remove group hugs (It is really hard, I know it doesn't seem to...) and wall pushing (When bot looses his waypoint and is trying to go through wall to reach next one). I cant even estimate how long will it take... Currently my free time is about 1 - 2 hr daily (I luv sql, u know...), and teeworlds zombies isn't the only project I develop now. I'd really like to see someone that can help meh.

UnoScorpion - My scientists are working to decode what you have just said.

Now serious: If you mean that Waypoints AI is bad, make a better one. You dont know how much time did I spent on wondering how to do this WITHOUT waypoints. I had a couple of solutions, but hmmm... Lets say that modern computers dont have enough computing power to make it usable (my pc couldnt hold 1 bot, super-server-laaaags, Intel Core i5). Heh. In 20 years, we will see

To all interested:
I thought of building path-graph while finding using A*, each node should have children presenting all possible moves (possible input) that bot can make in given moment. On DM2, my favourite testing map, It took about 5,6 seconds to find a way for 1 bot. We have 60 bots and the path should be refreshed from time to time. Impossible I think. Note, my code probably wasn't the fastest possible, but I think even if I optimized it fully, It wouldn't take shorter than 3-4 sec, that's still too much.

I know waypoints suck, and all this make mappers life much worse, but I cant do anything with it. If you have better Idea, tell meh.

The problem I've seen with all the implementations of A* pathfinding in Teeworlds is that they are all map dependant - you need to draw the path points on the map.
It tends to require some work to make them behave well on every weird/open angle of the map and some debugging to make sure they don't get stuck on some specific points (e.g. they used to in the bottom right of dm1).

Hope you get well soon, heads up.

I didn't write anything about it's EASY or i CAN do that. I said that it isn't good for another maps. I have idea for adding waypoints to another maps, but for it you need compare waypoints in MapEditor in game layer.
P.S. maybe like a teleports points 1>2>3>4>...

ah, if it's so, i agree with but it's hard for start
