Author Topic: Badspot's new AI bots are not that good.  (Read 658 times)

I'm not joking. They seriously are sub-par. Now no offense to Badspot. I mean, I enjoy his work. C'mon, he invented this game. But his bots aren't his best. In fact, they may the worst thing Badspot has made in a long time. Here's why:

Issue Number 1. They lag servers way too much. Seriously, have you been to Badspot's lately? I just went there and the latency spiked well over 2000. The game was totally unplayable. I had to set my game to a client timescale of 0.2 to get it tolerable at best. Of course 0.2 is gonna make it super slow, but it's better then the lag.

Issue Number 2. They are EXTREMELY abusive. This connects what issue number 1. Have you seen this drama? See what Redyz and Pat did? That's how abusive this mod is. Why can't there be limits? Maybe a limit to how many bot holes you can have? How many bots can spawn? Anything that can prevent someone from crashing the server from too much lag.

Issue Number 3. This will probably get the most controversy. I feel the bots are a little generic. Sure, the circle spawn is cool, but we keep getting Blockhead bots. However, Badspot added a shark and something else I can't remember, but I wish there were more choices. Maybe players can make more, but for now there aren't many choices. And, I don't think there's a regular Blockhead AI. There's a gunman and a zombie, but no normal bot. :\

Well there you have it. This might spark some contradictions, but it's my opinion. I hope you find some points in this. I'm not trying to say this is the worst mod ever. It's just, not the kind of quality I expect from Badspot.

Fighting those zombie ones is the toughest thing I've done in a while. Maybe you live really far away from Badspot and that's why you're lagging? Maybe it's being hosting on a bad computer

Maybe they aren't finished?

I haven't had trouble with his server before and I'm guessing he is using a good computer.


Maybe they aren't finished?
Maybe he's just handicapped, I mean y'know ... He's pretty dumb sometimes.

Maybe they aren't finished?
hm. I guess, but as of right now, they have problems.

No one ever said they were complete.
Maybe they aren't finished?

Erm, this wasn't such a good idea.

I hope these issues get solved, and it was only my opinion.

Locking.
