| Q: |
The Bot
gets stuck on the ladder leading up to the Super-Shotgun in Q2DM3.
What's up with that? |
| A: |
The BSPC tool uses the level
geometry to calculate the .AAS file which the bot uses
to navigate the map. Therefore it can happen that a poorly placed brush causes
problems for the bot. This is the case here. The ladder brush is sorta misplaced.
So the problem is not the bot, but rather a combination of a poorly placed brush and the
Quake2 player movement code. This might be fixed in a next version. |

|
| Q: |
Can the
bot rocket jump? Since it is a very important feature in DM? |
| A: |
No, in the current version the Gladiator
bot won't rocket jump.
But it will be implemented in a next version. |
|
|
| Q: |
When I
launch Quake2 I get the error "can't find colormap.lmp", what should I do? |
| A: |
Launch Quake2 from the Quake2
folder or include the command-line parameter "+set basedir c:\quake2" (where
c:\quake2 is your Quake2 folder). |
|
|
| Q: |
What is
the minimum configuration for playing the Gladiator Bot? |
| A: |
Same as for playing Quake 2. |
|
|
| Q: |
When I
start a map Windows switches back to the desktop and my system locks up, what should I do?
(happens when using a creative banshee board) |
| A: |
You should create .AAS files for
the maps you want to play. Create them before launching Quake2 using the WinBSPC tool. |
|
|
| Q: |
Will
there be a Solaris version of the bot? |
| A: |
As soon as everything is sorted
out. |
|
|
| Q: |
Are you
going to support other Quake2 mods? |
| A: |
CTF, basic
Rocket Arena, Xatrix mission pack 1 and Rogue mission pack 2 are currently supported. Anything beyond
that is not sure yet. |
|
|
| Q: |
Are you
going to support other games like Sin or Half-Life? |
| A: |
When we have the time for it, we
might. But hey, if you guys throw in a few bucks so we won't have to work anymore and only
work on this bot we can garantee it :) |
|
|
| Q: |
Will the
source code be released? |
| A: |
The bot game source
code has been released. This enables everyone to add the bot to different
games. The source of the highest layer of the AI might also be released. |
|
|
| Q: |
Can I
play the Gladiator bot with any map? |
| A: |
With the (win)bspc tool you can
compile any Quake 2 map ever made or any Quake 2 map that ever will be made. The Gladiator
bot is able to navigate all compiled maps. |
