Night Dragon Posted September 22, 2003 Report Posted September 22, 2003 Consider it back luck, but I have had enough. I fight hard and wear most players down getting flags in North, only to be freq switched by the bot. Then today I buy bounce TWICE and get switched by the bot (thus losing my bounce). This is getting EXTREMELY ANNOYING. Why not consider a few fixes to the bot so it doesn't randomly switch people. 1.) Like DSB, switch the player(s) that last died after the bot has notified public that it will do so. 2.) Randomly switch the player(s) with 40 btw or lower. This won't (usually) switch the player guarding base which happened to me twice today. 3.) Have the bot count which players have been switched (by the bot) in a given period (say a week for example). Then switch the players that have been switched the least. I've decided the bot likes to pick on me and it makes playing in 17th less enjoyable fearing the bots unfairness. I can't think of any other ideas, but feel free to post more. I think this really needs to be changed. It's annoying as -*BAD WORD*-. Quote
Zioneer Posted September 23, 2003 Report Posted September 23, 2003 Yeah this bot is a Hockey/soccer bot.. doesn't suit 17th very well if you ask me. Quote
Tipme Posted September 23, 2003 Report Posted September 23, 2003 we've been complaining about this since like....8 months ago Quote
ntfx Posted September 23, 2003 Report Posted September 23, 2003 It was a hockey bot, it is edited for 17th, I believe SVS did it. Quote
LoVeWAR Posted September 23, 2003 Report Posted September 23, 2003 you can still change freq when in safe without loosing bty or bounce.. but yes a new addon should do better Quote
Nurples Posted September 23, 2003 Report Posted September 23, 2003 The Hockey Plugin was edited by SOS. The bot changes the person who has been in the arena the longest. It is not random... If you are the person who always gets switched, just type ?go Problem solved for you... Now it's someone elses problem. This problem will be fixed soon, it just takes time. Quote
madhaha Posted September 23, 2003 Report Posted September 23, 2003 Nurples, bot is chronically lagging out/not responding. Requires fixing (even after you reset it). Host lag? Quote
ExplodyThingy Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 I can make it warp you safe if your worried about losing bounce. Quote
MikeTheNose Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 I can make it warp you safe if your worried about losing bounce. /*shipset doesn't work like changing your ship. It would ignore the fact that the player is in a safe zone. Quote
ExplodyThingy Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 Why is it doing shipreset to people who are switched? If its to make sure theyre not weak when they spawn, then warping them safe oughta make that obsolete. Quote
ExplodyThingy Posted September 24, 2003 Report Posted September 24, 2003 So, doesnt setfreq in a safe keep your ship as it is? If so, its an uber-easy fix. Quote
MikeTheNose Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 2003 No extra action is taken when in a safe zone. I'd love to hear how you think that's an uber-easy fix. Quote
ExplodyThingy Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 2003 The uber eas fix is this: If (as i said in that post too, "IF") *setfreq left you safe while you were in a safe, then all I would have to do is make the bot warp you to the safe before changing you. Sound easy?Now, if you can freq change safely in a safe, why not setfreq? Quote
NBVegita Posted September 25, 2003 Report Posted September 25, 2003 Well if I'm not mistaken the server reads it in a different way when it's going from staff --> server --> player, spose to player --> server -->player. It's like why does /*spec lock you in spec, when F11 doesn't? The server prolly has different settings on what will occur depending on if the command is coming from a player level command, or a staff level command. Quote
Night Dragon Posted September 26, 2003 Author Report Posted September 26, 2003 ?go doesn't solve the problem for a player losing bounce. It may save you from being freq switched, but it resets your ship regardless if you are in a safezone or not. If you say it's being worked on, I will put faith that it is. Thanks Quote
reload Posted September 29, 2003 Report Posted September 29, 2003 They said that the Warp.Bot and Rumble Bot were gonna be fixed too. Neither of them look fixed to me. Quote
Zioneer Posted September 29, 2003 Report Posted September 29, 2003 What name äre you using now reload? http://www.hitemup.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif Quote
ExplodyThingy Posted September 29, 2003 Report Posted September 29, 2003 They wont use the fix i made with the web stats. Apparently, Nurples machine cant handle it. If only he would elaborate more on what the problem is i could fix it.Works on my machine though. Quote
kentbrockman Posted September 29, 2003 Report Posted September 29, 2003 yesterday, after one of my 30 times of death, the game ended and it saidmost harmless: Public Bot (32 deaths) how? Quote
ntfx Posted September 29, 2003 Report Posted September 29, 2003 They wont use the fix i made with the web stats. Apparently, Nurples machine cant handle it. If only he would elaborate more on what the problem is i could fix it.Works on my machine though. It's a DLL that is missing, I have the same thing right now. When I downloaded the DLL I'll give you the name of it so you could include it with the bot. Quote

If only he would elaborate more on what the problem is i could fix it.Works on my machine though. I told you before... There is an error with the program or something for the rumble bot. I will tell you again in the game. Pub Bot is updated to list players in pub on the web. Quote

reload Posted September 29, 2003 Report Posted September 29, 2003 What name äre you using now reload? http://www.hitemup.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif I'm getting a new provider, waiting for the arrival of the Modem. 1 October my phone line is ready for the use of DSL, so it depends on when the modem arrives. I'm not able to play atm, but I can still reply to the forum using the computers at school. The names I use in SS are Reload, Javelin and Cloak, but since I can't play, I haven't been on for about a month now. Can't wait to get back :-/ Quote
