Nyclebot

[SpiderMage]

Last night before I left for work I went to a hosted event, think shade did it, ?go doubledoors or something

Anyway, before we started the game a message came up for something like nyclebot or something, don't remember it's name but it was an anti TK bot, where for this event it was set to if you TKed once, you were specced for a certain amount of minutes then allowed back in.

So is this a bot that's being tested to be used everywhere or was it a one time thing?

[Ikrit]

I made a TK watcher for twbot... that's probably what it was. TK's "dissolve" after a certain ammount of time and a certain number get you spec'd for a certain ammount of time.

[SpiderMage]

So was it just a random once in a while thing or is it going to be used permanently soon?

[Ikrit]

it's a twbot module, hosts can choose to use it or not.

I see. It would be nice if it was used in pubs though

I agree. 5 minute penalty for each tk. Multiple tks (2fer tks) result in 10+ minutes at a time.

team kills with sharks and javs are going to happen, no matter how experienced the player is, that seems a bit harsh. maybe if it was like 4 tks in "x" amount of minutes. then you would see its intentional and not just accidents which are going to happen.

Yeah, what Suzie-Q said would be neat, even if it meant I couldn't TK levs in retaliation anymore.

Also, make teamkills not add a death. $

not really possible with a bot, the death stuff is client/server related.

That bot will only be useful in certain arenas and subgames. Otherwise noone would ever shark because they'd get specced every minute or so.

As much as everyont thinks that teamkills are bad, they are a built-in failsafe and a necessity. They can also be a strategy; I can force almost as many enemy TK deaths as I can get conventional kills.

[Stultus]

Oh, to clarify, I meant adding a loss to the player's rec, not their actual state of being alive/dead. It should be relatively simple to change some subgame setting for no +loss on TKs, right?

problem with taht. it was used in in a game of turretwarz and 1 repped bomb/mine can tk 10 ppl, so its a little unfair to go by just total tks/time

a NYCLEbot?

That'd be cool :P

[Volny]

a NYCLEbot?

That'd be cool :P

So u arent anyhow connected with creation of this bot? :grin:

Not really, for as far as I know, the TK watcher has been there for months already.

But it's buggy and never used.
