[INFO] All about Bots (Page 2 of 3)

the idea from "greantea" is not only good for bots...
with an injektion you can do more^^
my brother often bots in teeworld^^
so i have linked the shutdown function to the teeworld client.
if my little brother starts a bot the computer turns off^^^

i would like to make a bot what isn´t a bot.
someone download it and than there is a .txt file (readme) near the bot...
there you say that they shouldnt use the bot.
if they use it, they can play 5 minutes and after this they can read "Connecting Problems" and until this the "bot"-bot will delete there teeworlds folder....

is this legaly?

Definitly would be a funny idea.
Though I would rather create a working bot which after playing 1 minute with it:
#1 Changes your name to "[bot] name"
#2 Spams in chat that you bot
#3 Reports your ip to a central server which stores the ips
#4 Mess up the config so teeworlds won't start / casnt do other stuff anymore.
#5 Do all those features so you don't see anything of it and give a reason for closing teeworlds. (e.g. "Error: Winsock bla bla etc")

Though as I don't see a big reason to do it, I will not create something like this.
Also I don't like lying to people (however they might deserve it).
Anyways, just ban botters... Currently they usually can be detected pretty easy.
Also the anti-[bot] script bans lots of the noob botters.

There are a couple things that could probably really help the bot issue.

First, the use of signed binaries would put a real bottleneck in the bot expansion. It would, however, probably require that client and server exactly match in version.

Second, bots are a player problem, not a problem with Teeworlds. Conveniently, since it is a player problem, it can be solved by the players. Get involved with the admins on your favorite servers. The Teeworld devs could help this by setting up something where players could server as mods (a password protected status).

The best people to fight this issue are the people who are afflicted by it. Let's get to work!

I have a question. Is there a new spinning bot that is running around?

I've seen many players that are really good aim, (mostly with the laser) but the spin around all the time. I'd get dizzy doing that, so I was wondering what would possess them to do that all the time? Or is my hunch correct? >:o

Then, do they have bots but the spinning is just a cover up for their robotic aiming?

Excuse me, i want to tell more about aimbots. No, even about anti-bots
Yes, aimbots is like a cheating. But... There are not only stupid aimbots. Stupid aimbot will fire directly to the enemy only. It cannot use reflections, it moves his gun to the enemy side, it can be detected very easy. Also there are aim-on-fire bots. You need to click your left mouse button, and only then aimbot will set aim to the enemy side. These bots cannot be detected so easy as simple aimbots, but they are stupid too. And now i want to tell about clever aimbots. They are not really aimbots and it will be better to say "firebots". These bots will shoot every time when any enemy will be on fire line. Of course, you cannot kill so many enemys as if you will use stupid aimbots. But these "firebots" can use laser reflections.

Please do not encourage people to use such wicked cheating software. // ~{MS}~ Azon

It's not in any way cool, and you merit the ban as much as "stupids" botters.
Your aimbots are pure cheat, and even if they don't frag as much as normal bots and are - to you - undetecable, they are still wholy egoist (I won't tell more about all adjectives used for botters).
And this "firebot", as you call it, can be detected too.

Hello guys,
I love play iCTF mod (especially on Huh Server) but i am very annoyed and angry because there is more and more bots on this server or this mod. I think that it is very appalling because this mod is cool and funny. This people are boring and they split fun game with others people...
How can we let down this application?

I'm sorry Lanta,
but it's possible

Bots can fire when they see somebody on line of fire.
Bots can find bounces, and with this 'firebot' it's easier...
For the ZBots, I was in charge of use bounces, but I didn't do it since it was needing to much calculation (not so much actually, but ZBots take already a lot, and it was kind of useless 'cause they play vanilla).
Fortunatly, good developers don't make such stupid things.

The only way out is be smarter and do not use stupid bots ...

I've done it ?
It's not because I know it's possible that I did it -_-
Anyway ...

ZPotes are wholy differents than Z... Z just fake with "Z - Bot".

As buffer said, ZBots were near to be laggy, and the feature was a bit useless, then it's not implemented.
On a client, that may be possible without a 200 ping... I just don't know how well it will work with the bounce delay.

Uh.
1. You're not understood me This "firebot" cannot aim. It can only to fire when any enemy is at shoot line. So it cannot be named "aimbot". And that's all!
2. Also, Z-Team bots were parents of ZPote bots You can see it in this forum topic: http://xenon.clanbb.ru/viewtopic.php?id=58 ("Lite" is my other nickname).
3. And I never said that my bots are good. They are really stupid ones And I stopped developing bots about half year ago.
4. Besides, I never play with aim or other "cheating" bots. It's not interesting and you cannot show your game I made bots because I was interested in it, not for cheating.
5. My hard disk was crashed down with my sources, so don't worry about it
