hey look! it's another speedball/strikeball thread! (you really need to read this.)

[wadi]

Arceo-> Making the bot(s)
Jacklyn-> Clearing some shit out of the strikeball arena to make it clearer

I'm going to put this as bluntly as possible.

Don't

Fuck

With

The

Map

Capisci?

Do whatever you want OUTSIDE the arena, but don't do something retarded like change the shape of the arena walls, move rocks, or change goals. Those kinds of major changes effect gameplay dramatically, and frankly aren't necessary or wise currently.

AYB, (some new guy I don't know, or an alt?) none of the things I commented on are new or outrageous ideas, and all of them are geared towards competitve play. The current pub settings are fine... for pub.

Shade: Only if you want to. I'm not on a comp I can play TW on, I'm just trying to help the new SB crew not repeat the same development mistakes we did the first time through. I haven't seen jiuce, koan, night speed, or nitr0 on, so it's pretty much new people.

Jason: I can't remember who exactly did the dev for PB bot, if you see... Disco Diva I think? and ask politely, he'd probably be able to point you in the right direction. What ever they're using runs under ASSS (whatever the hell that is). Competitve games were 5 v 5, 7 v 7 is about the max the arena can handle with it's current dimensions (DON'T CHANGE THE ARENA SIZE!)


Again, if anyone has questions about anything SB related I read and answer forum PMs.

i'm up to speed on the pb bots thanks to d1st0rt. we aren't going to get any help or insight via that route. mr. ekted wrote the powerbot core, and it's totally closed source. even if i could get him to speak with me one-on-one, i doubt i'd be able to follow. he's way beyond me in terms of programming knowledge and experience.

i spoke with some hz dev guys, and i was mistaken there as well. the old hz bots, prior to the zone's move to asss, were based off of mervbot. not to mention, no one seems to have any of the old source saved anyway.

an sb bot, based off of twcore, is going to have to be built from the ground up. arceo/mutton has already started working on one. i just haven't had a good chance to sit down in an arena with him and see where things are at. i don't want to be stepping on his toes and getting in the way. i do want to help in whatever way i can to speed up the development process. the sooner we have a fully functional bot, the easier it will be to keep interest levels sustained. once we get stats, we'll probably start attracting even more new players. everyone gets off on recorded stats and seeing their name at the top of this or that stat listing on a website somewhere.

yeah Arceo's been busting his ass on the bot, it's really cool already and it's not even half way done. you guys just need to hook up with him and see what he needs help with.

[Fit of Rage]

Is that... wadi on the horizon?

What's up, dude?

[Reclusion]

Never mind. I don't read before I type, apparently.

[Richard Creager]

This thread just became worthwhile, how is practice going jbird?

[AnidaLife]

1. someone change settings in austosb so no ships 3-8
2. someone make freq evener bot now, or enlighten me on how to do it, i have the java knowledge
3. good job on the bot progress. i'd love to see it when it is done. thx for making it.
4. did i mention we need freq evener now?
5. delete wormhole strength... for the love of whatever just get rid of it. Everytime i see a wormhole shot i want to kill something, or someone.

my 5 cents...

[Divine Rides]

this game's been popular enough to warrant a bot for about 10 minutes, be patient, people are working on it.

[Reclusion]

Thank you for providing this poor stoner some cheap entertainment.
