Gunman Chronicles is a futuristic first-person shooter computer game using the Half-Life game engine. It was originally planned as a total conversion for Quake; it then switched games to Quake II, followed by another switch to Half-Life, before being spotted by Valve Software and released as a stand-alone retail product in 2000.

Description

Beta release of Sandbot - a bot for Half-Life, Half-Life Opposing Force (deathmatch and capture the flag), Day of Defeat (territorial control), Gunman Chronicles, Natural Selection (Combat) and They Hunger. Extract to your Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life directory.

Can you please make it so they don't have impossible reaction times and near perfect headshot accuracy?

Lateralus10k yeah there are a few cvars you can play with but bot_skill is the main one.

Heya, I've tried modifying bot_skill from 0 to 4 and they still have instantaneous and completely accurate reactions. I tried setting it to bot_skill 5 but then they just walked in a straight line and stopped shooting.

PikaCommando bot_skill 5 doesn't work but I've fixed this in the next version. bot_skill currently only affects accuracy of shooting but it should be instantaneous. Are you using MetaMod?

Yes, I'm using MetaMod. Does that affect anything?

PikaCommando yeah it could - it looks like when Sandbot is run under MetaMod it isn't detecting changes to cvars (I didn't add the MetaMod support myself so I'm not sure why and haven't worked it out yet).

What "fixed this in the next version"? v0.4.2 is the latest version so far and it's been 5 whole years and there isn't an update after it.

Hey can you telling me what is a " Fixed bots attacking bots that had been kicked." so is work on teamplay

Reply Good karma Bad karma+1 vote

Rainbowdash98 bots that have been kicked still occupy a slot in the engine's list of players - in this version I fixed bots thinking these unused slots were actual players (if you kicked a bot you would sometimes see bots standing in empty space attacking the location where the bot was kicked).

can this bot mod play good on singplayer ???

Rainbowdash98 I'm not sure what you mean - the game won't let you spawn bots in singleplayer (singleplayer always has maxplayers set to 1) but this version fixes singleplayer level transitions being broken when Sandbot is installed.

Patyk34 copy the half-life folder in the .zip file into steamapps/common/ and let it overwrite.

Hopefully in the next version, or at least the version after that Sandbot will have bots for CS 1.6, DMC, and TFC

THE_STRĪ»NGER I'm not planning on Deathmatch Classic support, and I think Counter-Strike's bots are probably better than anything I can do, but I will definitely be looking into Team Fortress Classic support (not sure when yet).

this is pritty good when loading a game, the script works as it should do in singleplayer and bots work great, but one slight problem, when loading a game the text that say what mission and point of save, is just displayed as a white square, so i have no idea what mission i saved on. on single player.

@shardthegox200 there's a function that the engine looks for to get the name for a savegame, but Sandbot's version is empty. I'll fix it up to do the right thing (will take a bit of time to get the map name to chapter name mappings for Half-Life, Opposing Force and Gunman Chronicles).

shardthefox200 all good - should be simple enough to fix I think. If you follow the mod here on ModDB I think you'll get a notification when a new version is released? Not sure.

Its a bit hardcore too Because always when you create a server there is 11 bots already XD

Reply Good karma Bad karma+1 vote

You should be able to change that with cvars (11 seemed like a reasonable default).

Tried to install them, but can't control them at all. They always spawn in a bunch, like 10 bots or something, and swarm the entire map, and are insanely hard (i catch a headshot the next second after i respawn). I can neither temporary disable them (unless i totally uninstall them), or make less of them to spawn, or make them not so hardcore, or kick some of them (new bot join right after i kick one of them). Would prefer if they wouldn't spawn on their own and wait for me to call bot_add, or spawn just 1 or 2 bots until i add more. Or, better, if it would be configurable in a cfg file.

Vic47 bot_count controls how many bots will spawn (I chose this approach as it makes bot management across map changes simpler).
You can change bot_skill as well (1 is best, 5 is worst).

The waypoints are in the maps folders. What configuration are you looking for?
