TFC server with competitive, objective-based bots
Hey all,

I've been working on making a server with modified bots that focus on playing the objective, with both attackers and defenders performing their roles fairly intelligently/realistically. The goal was to recreate competitive gameplay independent of the number of human players, so anyone can jump in and have a good match anytime. Keep in mind it is intended to be challenging.

So, if any of you want to check it out, I would really appreciate your feedback! 216.39.240.133:27142

Also, thanks to the foxbot creators, and the good people who have helped maintain and support it over the years.

Sweet! I'll check it out, sounds interesting :steamthumbsup:
Looking nice, i would disable the fake ping tho. Clearly they are all bots so no need to have fake ping. I will add to my favorites ;)
wait.. those players were bots? i didnt realise, pretty cool :KOh: though but i agree with id, u should remove those
Thanks guys, I appreciate it!
Yeah bots can be pretty good and fun, i know there is a TFC bot that even CONC jump, ROCKET jump and etc, its so awesome! I think its foxbot but you gotta check the config file to turn it on, not sure if your bots are already activate with those features, it's neat.

Yes, all versions of foxbots after I believe 0.701 have a rocket/conc jump added, however most of these features are only available with updated waypoints that include the jump points, at one point there was a branch of foxbot that would allow NeoTF buildables, however I think that version has mostly been lost to time, but no servers really run NEO anymore so its not much of a loss; however for the advanced features they do need to be enabled and only a select few maps ever got updated waypoints that include the rocket and conc jump points, some of the old school bot v human servers had dedicated waypointers to make much improved waypoint files, however the vast majority of servers nowadays just use the distribution defaults.
The bots on my server can conc jump. Their rocket jump is kinda hit or miss, so I did give them a little rj helper to make sure they do it successfully. I also improved bots' grenade prime ability to make them more of a threat, and I optimized their waypoints to make them more efficient and goal-oriented. Currently the team balance is 8v11, with humans joining the 8 team and bots leaving/joining to maintain that ratio. Current map rotation is 2fort and dustbowl. I'd certainly be open to adding more if there were any interest. I also made an in-game stats system that records human player victories against the bot team, and as of now there are only 2 logged wins for the good guys!
Update:
The map rotation now consists of Dustbowl, Avanti, 2fort, Juno, and Baconbowl.

The bots' navigation and behavior have been fine-tuned to keep gameplay tight, aggressive, and objective-driven.

If any experienced players are interested in giving the server a test run, I'm still working to achieve the right balance of challenge and would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Nice, i noticied new server name aswell.
Thank you for sharing bro! I appreciate the time and work you’re putting into creating this server. I hope the awareness for your server grows and gets a lot of players. I will definitely check it out when I get a chance which unfortunately will be in late June, early July (family priorities). Much love.
Thanks for your support!
