I don't know how you could get bots to work in Empires... It's pretty complex, from an AI perspective. Also, what are NPCs?
non player characters people have bots for NS so it should be doable, theres another thread or two about it. now, what I thought the thread was about to start with - Moo's blasted prophecies of doom. Is it true that Moo has kidnapped Krenzo and is refusing to allow him to continue coding?
Give them a dog, like in fable 2 If you wack something he bites it. If you shoot something, he bites it. Its win/win, unless your the one getting bit
definatly. and im thinkin that the NPC could be an exact copy of his leader. that way, an enemy guy would have to kill both, as he doesnt know whhich is which. ooh. that gives me an idea. the NPC could be the same class too! that would make playing&killing much more fun, ans still balanced. on 9-mining, an enemy comm just might die when you 18-mine it... and a vehicle, forget it.
Heh. I'm trying to figure out how to get bots to change weapons. Right now I can only get them to follow my key strokes, but not change weapons. If I could, i'd get them to help me 99 mine a com vehicle ^_^
Yea they are messing with bots but last time I was on a server where they where testing the bots ran around and spun in circles like a bunch of ADHD preschoolers who just snorted a mix of pixie sticks and crack. Thy also had an annoying habit of nailing you with a pistol head shot from across the map...
