Not to bump the topic without new information (if you hadn't noticed I was, of course, taking a wee break on the project, though development is still steadily happening), but I thought I'd address this as I just recently was in the filmbots mod discussion page to learn a bit of unsatisfying news:
so filmbots is out which means you can do all of this with one person actually in the server
As soon as I can apply events to these bots edit: I meant as soon as I can apply console commands to the bots, Block Wars will probably actually get done.
I'm not sure if that's been said or not yet but all of the Block Wars hats require "/[hat]" to apply them to a player. If anyone knows if it's already possible to do that with bots, however, please PM me, I'd appreciate that knowledge. Otherwise I hope it's implemented to this addon.
The less I have to deal with real players in order to achieve shots (especially crowds) the easier it is to shoot scenes.
So no pressure to Whirlwind, but he might singlehandedly save one of the oldest Blockland machinimas.
second edit:
Is there anyway to give the bots command given items? Like giving a bot a hat that could only be worn by typing /hat
Not to my knowledge
Well poop, nevermind lol
If anyone knows anyone who thinks they can solve the problem of applying slash commands to bots instead of players, you'd be doing me the greatest service in the history of services.
