Watch the video .

The bots can defend attack and cover when it is needed.
But there is some few bugs, and i haven't added A*yet , but i will soon to have a totaly compatibility with all maps.
Be careful ! It is a server, so you can't use to cheat.

maybe you can upload it @ another video hoster cause some ppl can´t view it on dailymotion

Hi, I was passing by and I saw this  subject, which really interest me !
The thing is , I am more into algorithmic than coding... So I can write a function that, given a position A, a position B and an initial speed execute the best path between those two points (in a rather efficient way , and without using neural nets ... which are overkill for this problem ) . But I really have no idea how to insert this in some way that I can see the bot actually move :S

So if any of you guys could explain me the basics of what I have to do to make a bot move ... I'm pretty sure I could be of some use

bad idea to make them public xD just try to code kinda campagne or singleplayer mod

would be awesome

First : Thanks ^^
Second : Very good ideas , i will udapte them for 0.5 and add you your improvements.
3rd : i will add A* to allow them playing in all maps.
4 : I invite you to test them ^^, send me an email when you want.

Hello,

I have created my own bots for Teeworlds.
I am not talking about aimbots, but 100% computer controlled bots for training purposes.
They are meant to be run server side and will connect to localhost by default.
The code is based on the current 0.5.1 client source, modified to remove graphics and run in console mode (this saves a lot of CPU, they eat about 5% of CPU each on my P4 3Ghz).

Basically, they do the following:

• When they find a known checkpoint, they will follow a hard coded path, using directions/jumps/hooks. This allows the bots to be quite fast when they are on a known route (they can sometime capture the flag in 8 seconds). Currently there are 3 paths, but it is possible to add more).

• When they lose the path (collision, hooked, stuck, etc) they will switch to pseudo random move and try to come back to the closer base, in order to catch again the path.

• Strangely, they don't know about the flag They will just go from bases to bases forever hopping to capture the flag.

• They try to shoot at the closer enemy using the current weapon (switch weapon on pickup activated), and will fall back to gun when they have no ammo left.

• They will also try to catch the closer enemy using the hook. If the enemy is close enough, they will use the hammer.

• They know about the "holes" in the map and will try to avoid suicides (but they still do it too much ).

Currently they work only on CTF5 (my favorite map) because I made checkpoints only for this map.
If you are curious, they can be seen/tested on my server, search "zeRezo" in the server list. The bots are all named "bot|royale".

I would like to have an admin point of view about a possible release. I understand there are concerns about aimbots, and of course a portion of my code could be used for this purpose.

Please, give me your feedbacks

What I want to see is a bot using a rocket launcher.

But that would require a thinking system like: How far away are they? How Fast are they going? How fast am I going? *Ehim* Is there a wall in my way? Is there a team mate in my way? Do I still have any ammunition? If I shoot is the blast close enough to hit me? And then they can figure out what angle to point there gun... or not to shot at all.

The same goes for hand gun, when the other person is far away enough, because it the bullet get's lowered by gravity. But making such a system would requite lot's of coding, and too much thinking. xD
*Edit*

Ah i see now, its a client modificaton

Oh yea... well I edited it...

But one thing I wanted to know when he said, "How to make the bots more intelligent ?" Does he mean also mean humanistic? Because that does make a huge difference.

... "humanistic"
It's not impossible... it's just takes tons of coding.

thats why you need a company
see what im saying?

ZBots have really grown, and they can do a lot of things now, i will make some news about them soon.
I have tested all of others bots, and the conclusion is :
ZBots still are the best !
