Skulltag BOTS vs. Real PLayers???

[Guest TheCyanideX]

Are all the servers gonna be running with bots on em? Seems rather cheesey to me, unless there a tournament to see who can kill the bots the most... other than that, there's no point in me logging in a server when I could just run a single game by myself..... But oh well, whatever, nevermind.....BANG BANG!!

The one who runs a server can decide how many (and if at all) bots should be in the level. I think this option has been added so that you can join a server which has no human opponents and don't get bored until another human joins.

oh ok i can see that.....

How does this sound... Set bots to "up to # players", so that if there are only two players, it fills in slots with bots until there are # (maybe five). Then if you have five or more players, no bots at all.

Just an idea.

It still sucks to hop on a server and find that the five players the launcher showed were bots.

if you click on server details it tells you if bots are in and how many of the players are bots etc

well that sounds like a cool idea... now only if the games could run on the server without crashing all of the time, it would be sweet....lol

Anyway, i go on the net to look for games with humans. I look at the players and ping columns, and it all looks good. If i then find that all the "players" is bots, it's damn anti-clmatic.

I realize not knowing whether your opponents are bots are not is annoying. Personally, I enjoy the game almost the same. A sprite behaves in a similar fashion, whether it is a human or bot in games like Doom. It only seems to make a substantial difference when playing with 3d models.
