+--- Thread: New Bot Code Released (/showthread.php?tid=13881)
New Bot Code Released - hallucination - 11-18-2014
As you might have noticed, I have released new bot code to all 4v4 arenas. Fixes:
- FullSub Crash: Fixed.
- Actions after dying out (e.g. the Ozn Ban situation): To prevent anyone from affecting the game after they have died their third time, the player is now immediately spec'd upon the death. This will prevent a situation like the Ozn Ban situation from every occurring again.
- Sendto: The !sendto command is updated for the new zone IP (finally!)
- Spam: Fixed an apparently long standing bug in !spam (yes in !spam!)
- Fixed a bug that could crash the bot with some types of games
- Fixed a bug in .pracstats cmd (again, apparently long standing)

Sika had a valid point in questioning this change yesterday, as it many times eliminates the possibility of a trade-off kill as the bullets and bombs disappear when the player is being put into spectator mode. In this light it seems like the original delay was rather a feature than a fault.
RE: New Bot Code Released - hallucination - 11-24-2014
That is correct - the delay in spec'ing the person was to allow existing ordinance to possibly do its damage - yes, a feature. The brouhaha surrounding the Ozn banning was pretty extreme though - not a good situation at all for anyone and one that we do not want to see again.
That said, I think I just thought of a way to get both things (weapons exist for a few seconds, plus the dead-and-out person not able to influence the action with new ship toys). Let me look into it.

Stick em at A1 for a sec.
RE: New Bot Code Released - Street - 12-01-2014
A1 is not for people who die out!
RE: New Bot Code Released - Nude For Satan - 12-01-2014
Hehe he means outside the map, doesn't have to be A1. T20, A20, T1 would all work as well.
That might actually be possible though. The only bit I haven't seen done before ime is a specific period of time left at that new location :
- create a little spawning box at some location outside playing arena, surrounded by thuffler tiles - possible
- sent to a specific location upon 3rd death - possible
- given a certain 2 or 3 or whatever seconds it is before then specced - unsure
- then specced altogether - possible
Not my arena of expertise at all but at least worth examining to see if possible.
