Bots in insurgency mode

WallyJas · 10-07-2008, 01:47 AM

Guys,

How would it be possible to have bots in an insurgency mode map?

I am not needing the bots to find and destroy caches, I just need to get the bots into the map.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Wal

The main problem is that bots on the "friendly" side cannot distinguish civilian bots from soldier bots and will kill the civilians anytime they're in range...kinda spoils the point of insurgency mode.

Does that mean that you have had bots in an insurgency map?

None of the maps in SP are insurgency mode maps, for the reason I stated above. It would have made no sense to have insurgency maps in the first place.

Well, I can understand that there could be a problem with bots in insurgency

It's already complicated with human players

But would it be possible to incorporate computer players as insurgent civies in a multiplayer game?

I'm not asking for this release necessarily, but would it be possible to get civies to coppoerate with their insurgent couterparts, or to atleast be in the way?

With the new civie system, no one wants to play as a civie, and if we got bots to play as them, much more interesting gameplay would emerge. Maybe we could get insurgency maps where civies would hide in their homes or stay away from combat for the most part, or do a number of other stuff.

Why don't you guys use the scouts instead of the civilians ?

Not all insurgent maps have Civilians.

Because people who call in mortar strikes aren't civilians. Besides, they throw rocks and rocks can kill. They're armed, dangerous, and in full cooperation with the opposition. They are the enemy and deserve to be shot.

There are only 2 modes that work with SP and that's SinglePlayer and Coop and these are exactly the same apart from the menus.
The BF2 SP engine was never design to work with any other modes.
