hey damocles very nice work. although this demo shows the limits of a6 block levels. it looks very good but it lags like crazy in some areas. there you also have different mouse movement wich is a very bad thing for a shooter. it should feel the same in every place.
another thing i noticed is that the weapons stick through the walls, you should fix that too

great work, keep it up!

The Level from Jostie is more suitable for older machines,
But with Franks level we wanted to test how a "large" Level works out.
I know that the performance is not good on smaller machines,
although it has got full visibility calculations.
But the other levels should work fine on older machines.

There are lots of things that can be improved, but my main aim
was to get the AI work smoothly and get a good team-gamplay against the AI.

Amazing

That was pretty good. I've only played a CTF match but yeah it was good.

Do enemies prioritize the bot/player with the flag? I didn't really notice a change.

They do take the flagholder with a higher priority when searching for enemies,
but they dont switch to an exclusive "follow and attack the flagholder" mode yet.
I will work on that.

Well maybe it's best they don't...in a way. I mean if they are simulating human players, human players dont usually figure out who has the flag unless they see them.

Hah kinda contradicting myself.

Sure, that's true, nor does every player go chase the enemy flag carrier, but at least one or two should.
Anyways, let's see what Damocles further improves, it's already really good,

Cheers

I really like this demo! The AI is great and hard to beat on the high levels, but what is missing is teamplay! If they would work together and storm towards the flag, the AI would be like any professional game.

That depends, I don't consider a rushing team as being really intelligent. You'd need some good players to guard, others to go for the flag. With good 'ol UT1 the main tactic of the bots was kill a lot and then occasionally play more offensive, but they never all ran away at the same time. Sometimes they did go with 2 bots quite near to eachother to the player's flag. Wether or not their behavior is realistic is also a matter of taste and choice I guess,

Cheers
