Works on all maps.

yeah.. figured it out already (have read readme ;D).. really nice though brightskins are missing :/

copy q4max/pak002.pk4 into wherever you want to use the brightskins :) (rename it like z-brightskins.pk4)

works! <3

filefront is horrificly shit

agreed...

If sabot works, this has more reason to be a news item than that mouse release where the only thing different from a regular mouse was a clan logo on top. And took the esr front space of almost an entire page. And please include a bot in the next patch dammit!

For them to work on all maps, (for those who don't know) Start q4 load the mod, type runaas mp/mapname in the console, then create a non-pure server, once on the server type Addbot bot_sabot.

bingo

Couldn't load map file: 'maps/q4dm11v1tmp.map'

I get that when i write runAAS q4dm11v1tmp.map ...

What am i doing wrong ? ..

Its mp/q4dm..........

try runAAS mp/MAPNAME

worked :)

k then whers my plus :<<<<<

please learn how to use the reply link

(tip, don't open it in a new firefox tab)

OMG

How do you increase timescale in Quake 4 (for fast lg practice)? I tried setting timescale 2 but the game doesnt speed up.

Hmm, it says it can't be changed in multiplayer, so i just loaded Q4, typed map mp/q4dm7tmp.map and set timescale to 3, it speeds up, as to practicing like that, im not sure, as it loads SP items n what not, im not sure if the bots work by doin this, i havnt had time to try.

thats an interesting strategy, never thought of that. What I did used to do was play on like 1.2 or 1.3 timescale, or! play on 0.5 timescale, this believe it or not, increases your aim, because you are training your brain and arm to aim in a certain way(an extremily accurate way) , when you learn something you do it slow at first no?

Interesting

Practice pool by playing snooker, too.

in reverse I played q3 using timescale 0.x in the past and when I used normal speed there still remained the impression it was slow

si_pure 0
si_map (mapname)
spawnserver

as far as i remember...

Very nice already!

Does this bot work on Dedicated Servers?

you can enable timescale (probably) in multiplayer by typing net_allowcheats 1, that allows everything else so i don't see why not

Yea that does allow you to enter a new timescale, however on multiplayer servers it doesnt seem to affect the speed at all (only works in single player mode).

Doesn't work for me. I can select mod, but crashes on load. Also bat file crashes.

did you edit the bat to your install dir?

tried it on l4dm1 and it kept getting hung up near jumppad above rl, like stuck in crouch position in midair against wall, facing down, until i hit it. weird.

also, anyone notice LG acc to be insane? just loaded it as addbot bot_sabot without acc level. dont know default difficulty. can't be too high cause the fucker would walk right by me at times.

That's a funny map bug, it will happen to anyone that starts off that jump by jumping

Try it for yourself on any server, do /kill until you spawn there and keep pressing jump till you get the spawn. You will be "stuck", the fun continues as with each jump press you will get higher and higher on that spawn location, as if you are climbing an invisible ladder :P

sweet :) not bad for a release so soon. thx

anyone figure out how to set timescale up yet with these bots and mp physics? would really like to know if it's possible.

Thats really good. Now all those times my internet goes down I can play without having to resort to single player :p

:D

Huh, try to play on dm8 (q3dm17 remake) without rail.
These bots will frag you with MG, omfg!!! A few seconds in air and you will be fragged with MG. Not with rail and not with rocket (mb sometimes) but with MG as well. LOL, it seems to be the most powerfull weapon in Q4 :PPPPPPP

It's because they hit every bullet with the MG. Needs fixing.

50-0 scores anyone? :-)

lol, dm8 - 100|-14 :P (last ninja)

Every n00b can do 100 frags on this map, try a real one.

huh, real one - the one with rail & light?
no thnx, dont love n00bish weaps :P

Was predisposed yesterday evening, so I will try tonight and tomorrow, will mostly put up some insane scores as usual :) How have you done?

Around 40/5 on Phrantic, Galang and TMP The Lost Fleet, on Pro-bliptourney1 I have 30/5, all 10min games.

I switched to the Razer Copperhead 2 days ago, this mouse is so nice - although I'm not totally comfortable with it yet it feels already a lot better than the Logitech MX510 I had before :-)

I'm still wanting my ms 3.0 back :( I'm just using a cheap ms intellieye, my aim is back up to standard though, but the mouse has no grip! We'll see what I can get, and whats with 10 minute game?!

you are talking about Intelli Explorer 3.0 mouse ?

yes, best mouse ever :P

i watch over it more than anything =)

Word!

I played it for the first time now, played it on pharanic in 2 games, first game was a rather shoddy 40 to 5 or something, second game was 57 to -2 (both 15 minutes), I don't really know the maps yet and the sound is completely useless, most of the time I'm just trying to find the damn thing, will play it for 4 or 5 hours tonight though to learn the maps and stuff, it's time to start playing the game.

There's a large south african tournament happening from the 21 to the 24th, I can't compete because I'm working most of the time but I'm hoping to do coverage for ESR and play some friendlies with the better players there.

I played it for the first time now, played it on pharanic in 2 games, first game was a rather shoddy 40 to 5 or something, second game was 57 to -2 (both 15 minutes), I don't really know the maps yet and the sound is completely useless, most of the time I'm just trying to find the damn thing,

same for me. I got about 40-5 on pro_bliptourney1, first time playing Quake 4 and the map, so I obviously didn't know where I was going exactly. the sound though, is utterly ridiculous. I was trying to find the thing the whole time as well. I also have OpenAL enabled, but I don't have headphones so meh. (but Q3 sound is just fine with my speakers)

Yeah I was also playing on speakers, but as you said, it's not really a problem in Q3. I don't have Open AL, but still, I should be able to hear foot steps!

fk yeah, nearly 50-4 on pro_blip
I sort of know that map.
now I just need to learn the 20,000 other maps and their various incarnations, and to find out in what combination of mods + maps + patches + settings I can do anything in this patchwork game!(*($!@*&$&*!@

OMG WHINE
i got MG raped at the end trying to get extra frags lool??!? WOW THAT MG IS GAY

lol yeah the mg is gay, almost as gay as the lg.

did you use those aim_accuracy 0 and aim_rate 1 settings ?
I

No, just default, just beat it 69 to -2 on phranic earlier today, i'm getting better!

I'll have to try that map. galang should be easy to get high score as well.

63/0 on Monsoon so far :-)

63-0 on galang.
I learned the map!! thanks cooller. TBONE DO GALANG PLZ THX

:o

Comp?

Rofl aah the ill fated LAN2k. :P

:P I feel bad that I'm so out the scene now, but cannot be helped, too much going on in the rest of life.

Rofl I played CA with you earlier today :P

Playing online once and a while, doesn't mean I know whats going on, I hardly know who anyone is, and I haven't been to a lan in over a year.

How do you get the tmp maps to work? Tried runAAS mp/tmp02
runAAS mp/[tmp]the lost fleet ?

Try runAAS mp/q4dm3tmp

Yep works:) thanks

To add a hardcore sabot quickly every time you want:
bind "F4" "addbot bot_sabot aim_accuracy 0 aim_rate 1"

BTW, the bot is really funny and enlightening in fragging yard, if it gets RG youre FU%!@

why fragging yard?
try the longest day!
respawn - rail - two steps - rail - u'r dead - respawn - ...............

I didn't see any "wow! this bot is pretty smart" remarks yet :p

StupidAngryBot

=?

btw 33/10 aim_acc 0 on blip

anyone have a mirror, it doesn't download from the usa filefront site.

sabot as it is is more of a proof-of-concept than anything... the name says it all: "stupid" because it doesn't use any kind of strategy, "angry" because it just chases you around. and that's the way it's supposed to be. it's not supposed to be a real simulation of a person but rather a framework for more advanced ai stuff. if you're looking for a real bot, you should wait, because that's not what you'll get just now.

[edit] more information on new q4 bots based on sabot: http://oakbots.co.uk/blog/

read the blog and the forum

well no the name don't says it all
just looking at the code and you'll understand what I mean
I'm sure Tinman wanna do this bot as "clever" as possible nobody wanna do a stupid bot the name was very suggestive in the beginning (when came the first Doom3 bot version)
I played yesterday my best score 40 to -1 on Phrantic I'm sure tbone and other will do better
with this bot now I know the taste of q4 MP yes the maps are missing
anyway 10x Tinman for creating the bot

Soon there'll be more bots playing Quake4 than real humans!

Hehe, the bot uses fov 120, while we are limited to 110 :-)

Is it me, or can it run faster?

Now we wait for Tchouky? :)

is there any way of fixing the problem of the bots with the jumppads? that sux. is there any "standart procedment" that i can change?

I seem to have a problem with this modification... I took some screenshots and they all came out completely black :-/ And before you say, I already checked the rest of my screenshots in the whole Quake 4 directory, and there are no others from bot matches.

Here is a mix of sabot with Q4MAX 5 and 7's GFX, and the CPL maps w/aas. You have to love those weapon models :)
Hope this works as well for you as it does for me.
http://shokd.blogsite.org/sabot-Q4MAX7gfx.rar

I can't wait for the Q4MAX bot's. In v.7 you can use the addbot command. i.e. addbot arq0n, however v.7 must use non-broken aas files as the bots just stand there.

One thing I forgot to remove from the archive was my .cfg.
Delete it before opening or you will be using werd instead of wasd or whatever you use. werd gives me more keys to bind close by. I included the entire folder this time as some were having problems with the plain v5 one.

nice! I like those weapon models. It's much easier to tell what weapon is what.

I know.. I've spent many hours trying to get the whole v7 to make the bots use the old aas. runBOTAAS is new, but does nothing yet.
I never give up, but have a feeling I'm going to have to wait till that russian AI god finishes his AI.

BTW, I removed my cfg and added the working hud in this version 12/22/05 if you downloaded the old v7 file, use this new one instead.

Now you get the sabots, Q4MAX hud and the Q4MAX7 weapon models :)

Also, you can:
start plain single player q4
In console type: runAAS mp/q4dm9
and you can play the new Q3 dm6 with a bot using the q4dm9.bat

Not that it's hard to win, but fun.

No more playing until the real bots come out.

how I can change level of this bot ??? he is so easy

RTFM

84 - -1

When I select the mod the game crashes on load! what to do?!

this version od the SABot works with Q4MAX 071
http://quake4.filefront.com/file/Q4FastStart_v05_for_Sabot;55897

0.71 is quite old now :( ,but anyways [+] for ur effort

thx,

The author is was at least waiting for the SDK, which is now out and has plans to upgrade, we can only hope. Q4FastStart.exe really is a cool frontend for starting DM TDM CTF etc. when you have no net connect. Auto AAS creation and all that stuff. read about it here:

http://www.oakbots.co.uk/forums/index.php

um i think something is wrong because every time i try to runaas it tells me it cant find maps/mapname.map (i dont have any .map files) i have tried everthing listed above and have no clue whats going on - i am very new to the game so wanted to use the bots to learn spawn point etc. I am currently testing this on phrantic and know that it is working fine as i created a non-pure server using it just couldnt add a bot - any help would be appreciated. I also cant find a map sub folder in the q4 root folder.

cheers

this news is 1 year old today, i wouldn't bother.

ahaha i am a tool, saw 11th december >.< didnt look at year

lol xD
