Bots
On my ongoing task to deliver human-like non-cheating bots I have some major improvements.
Previously the bots didn't know where pickups were on the map and were just randomly running around and finding pickups along the way. Which is fine for low skilled bots but high skilled bots should have more map awareness. And thats what this update was targeting.
| Skill | What it knows without looking |
|---|---|
| F, E, D | Nothing. Finds items purely by eye. |
| C, B | Powerup, Heavy Armor and Disc spawns. Everything else by eye. |
| A, S | Every item spawn on the map. |
Knowing where something spawns is not knowing whether it's there. Every tier has to look, or walk over and find out.
This is not their final form though. Right now, they know that Powerup is high valued pickup but they don't know exactly when its gonna respawn. They are just coming back to check if its already there. The next step will be giving them knowledge when exactly is an item gonna respawn provided they know when the item was picked up (bot picked it up himself, saw someone else pick it up or was close enough to hear someone picking it)
Minor fixes
- Fixed jump pad on Scourge map as bots weren't using it.
- Changed button text "Continue" to "Return to lobby" on post match score board to make it clearer.
- Fixed Overcharged Coil relic as it wasn't properly ignoring armor.
- Lighting improvements on Slaughter map.
