hidebot v1.1 Released Posted by wmull on Monday, November 20, 2000
Rich Whitehouse has just released a new (unofficial) version of the hidebot, featuring many improvements over the version which comes with Soldier of Fortune Gold. You can download hidebot v1.1 from our Files Section.Reverted to an older code base. This automatically fixed a great deal of problems that show up in the official SoF Gold release, such as bots being added incorrectly in team modes and getting stuck on routes while navigating.
Redid the route file format. Old route files will no longer be compatible, but route files in the new format are included for all of the standard SoF/SoF Gold levels.
Support has been re-added for all available play modes in Soldier of Fortune, including the new play modes which were introduced in SoF Gold.
Bot movement is now generally smoother and more human-like.
Fixed a bug causing bots to sometimes stop firing their weapon and fail to reload.
Improved strafing and general movement in combat situations.
Improved somewhat on the edit mode from the old code base by adding various new utility functions (such as the ability to easilly add and remove waypoints inside a trail). Looking at a waypoint in edit mode also shows information about the waypoint.
A good deal of things have been done to lessen the amount of CPU power the bots take. I'm not exactly sure how fast this release is in comparison to the official release that came with SoF Gold, but it's approximately twice as fast as the old code base which I reverted to. More information is available over on his web site.
