BOTS in Ace of Spades (video)

[Nanners]

They are like grunts on halo, they can't get rid of the grenade XD They just run at you holding a grenade :-)!

This could be very helpful for those who have annoying little sister who's always playing facebook games -_- which make your ping too high

Seriously? Facebook games increase your ping by that much?

Actually, yes. She always play 3 different games at 3 tabs at a time, she's using the desktop (sometimes I play Aos there), while I use my Father's laptop, very annoying when me and/or my elder bros are playing online :|

Hompy, nicely done, you magnificent bastard.

Looks amazing.

I personally don't like it. It seems a bit too Minecrafty. Plus Ace of Spades seems just fine right now
Why have bots when you can play against real people? I don't know what you think, but I think that bots
should stay out. Or if you have bots, why not make them regular soldiers? It would keep Ace of spades
a bit more distinguished. I hope AoS is around for a while. A long while.

Just to be clear, this isn't what the bots that hompy programmed are meant to do. This is a mere crude preview.

The reason I'm being assaulted by creepers is that weapon usage is a whole different chapter I haven't started on yet. Barring AI-initiated construction pathfinding should be the hardest task, so progress should pick up soon! Could've made spade-berserk deuces instead but this seemed much more fun. Fluttershy made the awesome skins :)

The end product SHOULD be a normal and functioning regular soldier.

It is very useful when your ping is high on all servers you joined, or if someones using wi-fi via your router and/or someones playing facebook games via router. And also is helpful when you add it at your own serverand take some practice and experience.

Or to get massive killstreaks, take a pic of it with Fraps, then posting it on the forums and pretending that they are SO pro at this game.

At last you have released the preview to the world!
Bots are possible as shown, but with alot of effort - hi-five to hompy for that.
The potential for bots is huge. I'm sure eventually they'll wield ordinary weapons.

So bots are planned :D ?

I can see a whole new realm opening up in the game with bots, singleplayer would be possible, training maps, and coop survival maps(two player vs bots). Perhaps even having bots on both teams. Then again we allready knew it was possible since other 3D dynamic terrain games e.g. minecraft have path-finding mobs. I see a potential side effect on performance and granny rig setups though.

Alright, here it is, sweet and simple. I don't like those bots because they seem like mobs from Minecraft. They rush at the player without any heed to where they are going. If they were programmed to behave like real players, then yes they could serve a purpose, like when there are only a few players on a server. The bots could act as soldiers to make it more fun, and other players could still join in. Every time a player joins, a bot disappears. So yes, if they are refined I wouldn't mind them. Single player would work, and an app would be very nice if you could do online or offline. Right now I wouldn't mind being able to play it from my iPod. And no ill will meant to you. aceospades

You do realize the video was simply showcasing their path finding right?

What part of that was sweet and simple?
