Hi there guys,
I'm after a good animal bot, or bot script, for a herd of creatures or such......the number of creatures should only be limited to a persons bot limit (ie, high bot limit, huge herd - of even over twenty or so)....they should be semi intelligent after a fashion, and have some interesting behaviors... - I know several people were tinkering with this kind of thing... Does ayone have such a thing available ? I want to experiment on a large scale... F. my little bot idea =)Jan 11, 2001, 6:30pm
Anyone out there planning a wargame/strategy bot ?
If chess can be programmed, then I cant see why a wargame bot couldnt be implemented - you have two sides, a certain amount of points to buy up peices, each peice having a different cost associated with it, and different abilities, some could be close quarters, others could have a specific cell range which they could "fire" based on a grid like pattern (something like a chess board only much, much larger in scale). Some could be aerial , which only some ground based things could hit, etc etc etc.... It could be a small app with a central server, to keep player stats and have some kind of ladder, it could also keep track of how many points the players get (every time they win they get points) and allow them to carry over points to the next game etc. It could be multi-themed, merely by changing the actual object sets - a hoverjet becomes a dragon, a knight becomes a APC, or a rifleman becomes a archer etc - the trick is to have one standard rule set. The rules could be *fairly* simplistic, though of course it could be *hugely* expandable. A game such as this would promote a healthy player experience, and AW is a perfect solution for something like this - we have the graphics interface, we have the ability to program it in - and it is better than programming an RPg because it is a dynamic game played between two human being, with no need for AI's, and it doesnt have the complexity of individual "beings" or a real storyline. Buy your "battle bots", equip your army, then go blast you foe on the battlegrounds of ActiveWorlds. If anyone is interested int his kind of thing, I am very happy to write the rule sets etc for it, and provide any other assistance including the use of a unique battle world... Its an idea....I think its a good one =) F. my little bot idea =)Jan 12, 2001, 12:43pm

Well, ideas are all around, and I dont have time to learn C++ with all the
other projects (my music and working here at AW) in my life, which is why I said it in a public forum - but, if someone did want to pick it up I'd be happy to help, provide resources and creative rules also... yah, it is an idea that has a huge potential =) F. > [View Quote] Somethin wrong with AW?

There was a major router down in the Denver area which affected alot of
peoples connections to our servers on Sunday - there was nothing up with our servers, they ran perfectly all weekend. Unfortunatly, we cant do much about other network services router problems =/ Facter Technical Support Specialist Activeworlds.com [View Quote] AW closed for bots???Nov 20, 2000, 4:24pm

Darn, so those hundreds of support emails I reply to every day actually get
sent from someone that doesnt exist !! *looks in the mirror* - to be, or not to be, now THAT is the question =P AWSupport is one of our support accounts we use, and, speaking for me, I'm in the worlds every day doing support in one form or another (oh, and I also *read* these boards, have since I joined the AW universe almost four years ago - err, before I cam ta work here last July) - but I do all my support via email for tracking purposes =) Fletcher Andersen aka Facter AW Tech Support > > Joeman > [View Quote] |
