Bay 12 Games Forum

Just had a play around with the new bots that have been added. They don't seem too bad except for a few smaller things. Main thing is they won't use melee weapons and medics/engies seem very hesitant to actually attack anyone instead of just fleeing. The bots won't play as a spy, presumably as they haven't yet been coded to be able to use spy techniques yet. The bots will spy-check, but are a lot less paranoid than players.

For anyone wanting to have a play with them this is what you do.

• Start a new server on whichever map you want to play.
• If it is a koth map skip the next step.
• type 'nav_generate' into the console, without quotes. This may take a while.
• 'tf_bot_add X' into the console, without quotes, where x is how many bots you want to add.

Crafting recipes known so far.

Edited to add new recipies

Looks like the update has just started.

I have to agree we don't really need much in the way of stats. About the only thing I use the gametracker page for is to see what times people are coming on the server.

Second this. This is a game I have played more than any other.

As a warning however, the game's largest downfall is its often game ending glitches.

As a tip: DO NOT build Tourist locations. They are the source of the majority of the game's game ending glitches. I've had minions get stuck in them and if any of them can't get to the helepad because they are stuck, then you basically lose.

To clarify, that bug is only game breaking if it happens on island 1. Or you can use Ivan to blow up and kill the trapped minion.

I've never had problems with tourist locations, just make sure to plan them out so there is a clear path to all item hotspots.

So we get crafting in the next update.

And of course this happens the day after I cleared my inventory of duplicate weapons. Have to see if you can make anything from vast quantities of sandvith's and jarate.

On annother note, can anyone hear me when I use the mic? I've always had trouble getting the levels on it to work properly.

I was able to hear you fine while we were playing so it looks like it's working.


Good games tonight after I got back from the pub. With a couple of excessively good random snipers for a while.(and yes I checked then out, they weren't aim-boting as some thought afaict, they were missing far to often for that)
