kreedz bot player
09/07/2010 11:57Hello everyone. I was sitting here bored and watching forums XJ until I found an old theme http://xtreme-jumps.eu/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?30241 that gave me an idea: to make a ghost bot (semi-clip or dono how in english) that will repeating the wr run while your run (like in defrag. If someone played it he will understand).
I think its possible to do a such bot, cuz it is already exist in q3.
The question is WHO CAN DO SUCH A BOT ?
I hope you understand my uber english knowledges

Then we shall make "ZE TING" !!!
great idea,it will be big novation in kreedz,if its possible ofcourse :)
Big + for the idea but damn you need a lot of patience and knowledge to do this.. GL
I think the easiest, but maybe not the best method would be to make a demo analyser that will have an option like: "export waypoints". Which will create a text file containing every position in the demo. And then make a plugin that will create a bot which will move to all the positions located in that text file. The text file would have to be huge, but that's just an idea. Maybe some brainiac will come up with a better one.

I don't need cuz I don't know anything about that scripting :) I just published my idea, and I want to know if it pos. And ofc would be very nice to realize it.
i think some great coders/scripter have some ideas.

Actually that sounds like the most possible idea I've heard so far. Not every position, but it could save the position every 0,1 seconds for example.

Yes, demo recording should be forbidden during the use of the kz bot but it would be great for training.
really interesting.. it could help you while training.. if the bot is behind you then you will make a better time. just for you to know if you are close to wr or not and which jumps you have to train..
Seems like the idea is based on HLAE option export_cammotion , it copies all the camera movement , waypoints just like TheAngel said.
ye nice idea =)
maybe to make coding easier it could be some kind of little shining sphere or smth. :D not player model. =)

I don't see why it should be any more forbidden than a plugin timer or lj stats.

I didn't even know HLAE has that option, the idea just came in my mind. :D
rlly sick, even sicker if it DID actually happen :)
time will tell ;)..
Thought of this idea the first time I saw a racing game with this option. Probably not the only one who thinks this is old suggestion, but +1 for actually making a thread out of it. +2 for the person who actually does this plugin, awesome recording assist.
PS. The ghost thingie doesn't have to be the actual person playing, it can be a dot following the block speed (according to the demo)(like in karaoke). If this makes it anyway easier to make, you're welcome.
Nice idea shock, I hope someone will create it =)
iLLo did it .
But if I remember right , the bot/ghost was only active ~5-10 sec . He didnt finished the plugin though.
An eDark + NumB cooperation would be great here.
