TDBots Mk2 - v1 (11/05/2022)

[TDRR]

Maybe do I some thing wrong?
When I play from PC, I win for score 10/3(aiming accuracy 4). When I play from mobile, I lose for score 4/20 (aiming accuracy 0).
Time reaction player on PC is better, then mobile player. When you play from phone, you see worse. You turn around slower. Press the button on screen worse, then press the button on mouse.
Mobile player need more indulgences.

Well, it can't be added back as an option, as there's no BotC command to alter reaction time. A modified BOTINFO with reduced reaction time can be done as a patch though so maybe that will be added as an alternative.

Ok. Can you tell what console commands does the bot have?

Open the console, type tdbots_ then press TAB.

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.

---

-Added Skulltag compatibility (with built-in nodes for it's DM/Duel/LMS maps!).

-Added Complex Doom and Brutal Doom v21 compatibility.

-Added tdbots_disablesectordmg. When enabled, bots won't receive damage from
normally damaging floors.

-Readded the option to teleport bots automatically if they're too far away
from the nearest player (tdbots_autoteledist).

-NodeStudio is back! Same old UI-wise, but it's back, and now integrated into
the main library (under a separate namespace).

-Readded LANGUAGE weapon lists, under the "TDBOTS_WEAPONLIST" name.

-Readded SPECIAL_THANKS.txt, had forgotten about it!

-Added "easy bots" patch, reducing the bot's reaction time and accuracy
substantially.

-Bots now treat DEHACKED weapons like vanilla weapons. So fist and chainsaw
slot weapons are treated as melee. In addition, the Rocket Launcher
is now considered an explosive weapon in vanilla Doom and with DEHACKED.

-Bots may now stop following nodes for a little while if they've been stuck.

-Improved nodeless navigation, bots shouldn't get stuck on walls anymore.

-Custom weapon lists can now be set from ACS (BCS highly recommended!).

-Custom BCS roam and attack functions can be set by reference (GDCC-CC can
*probably* use them, too, with a proper header file).

-Added ACS and BCS header files, to help access the previous two additions in
external patches.

-NodeStudio should now work correctly with Hexen and other maps with ACS.

Go check it out!

Much appreciated! I know there is wind that this will eventually end up in GZ to replace the horrific Cajun-code, so congrats on the full fat release!

[TDRR]

I thought so, but there's been no more progress on that end. No idea if anyone else will continue working on that but there's issues preventing it from being a possibility at the moment.

I'm wondering how to add weapon selection/switching for mod compatibility in the current version, is it still through RocketArena or is it different? It's very troublesome having to drop a weapon for them to pick up or simply remove and add them again after they die.

Yes, you just write the same list but use TDBOTS_WEAPONLIST as the LANGUAGE name. I'll get around to documenting these again at some point.

I just tried to do this but all it does is simply print out the list in the top left corner whenever I enter the main menu or a new game etc. As well as this random 2 that comes out of nowhere.

Thank you my friend. You are the best!
Yesterday I play with bot from mobile in duel mod qcde. I lose 9/10 from max difficult. I didn, t play doom a few month. I think bot not so hard than a few patch ago. Because I very well kill it in middle difficult. Now I want download easy path and test it. Very interesting how it work. It's true? Bots now is not so hard? Or am I doing something wrong? Now I can play only from phone. In September I can test from PC.

[mrgyv]

Can you tell how do the settings work? Can I must restart bot or game? How do the easy mod work? I see that bot can kill me in any difficulty. They kill my in aim accuracy 0. In next time they do not can aim to me in aim accuracy 4. Sometimes they go for waypoints. I shots in there back... Why doesn't the bot follow me to finish me? Why is it running away? How do the aim work? How do the easy mod work? Maybe bots are dangerous with only some guns? Does the distance change the aim result? Can you tell me that I can customize the game for myself?

[TDRR]

The easy mod reduces their accuracy. It does work fine for me, not sure why you don't see much difference.
Are you sure you're loading it after the main pk3?

Sorry for the late reply, but there's nothing wrong with that, it's just a debug print I forgot to remove. It means it all worked correctly.

Yes. A load pk3 after all pk3(load picture)
I very love qcde. Some guns have radius attack. Maybe the setting aim work only with rifles(weapons without a radius of destruction)?


Can you tell me bots pick up hp, armor and ammunition from the floor?

Do I need remove bot and add new to apply settings?

[mrgyv]

Reload all pk3, wad and iwad.
With easy mod - 10/5 win
Aiming accuracy 0 - 6/10 lose
Aiming accuracy 4 - 1/10 lose

All work
Apparently my hands are growing out of my ass. Or It was a bug. Maybe I load a previous version patch with easy mod.

Or and what champion the bot chooses take effect.

Thank you for your work. You're the best!

[TDRR]

Or and what champion the bot chooses take effect.

Not the champion, but if the mod defines it's own bot classes, those won't get affected by the patch. It's only for the built-in TDBot names.
(you should only use the TDBot-defined classes anyway since other bots with their own BotC are not guaranteed to work anymore)

Can you tell me bots pick up hp, armor and ammunition from the floor?

Yes, they do. They won't automatically search for them if there's no players, but if you have map learning enabled they'll pick up the items you pick up.
