Any way to get your hands on a PDF version of the book? I found some useful info on pathing on youtube:


Sadly I don't think i could fix pathing myself

https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Unreal-Technology-Level-Design/dp/0672326922/ref=monarch_sidesheet

This book would cost you around $7 second hand. It's chapter 12 that details what to do. You could give it a go.

In order to get unrealed to work properly on windows 10 you do have to disable the graphics driver from the device manager. This defaults the graphics driver to a default windows one that is compatible with the program. You have to re-enable it to play the game at anything like sensible frame-rates!

I have recently bought the book, however I have so many different projects on the go that I'm not going to get to this part any time soon...

I like to warm up on Deathmatch (single player) Rankin with 20+ adept bots.
Possibly not relevant, but the bots are really good at killing pro players if they get close to them (they don't miss with full flack to the face!), it might even out the scores on freon?

I always used to like warming up the old T32 ons server with at least 5 bots on each team.

One thing I would suggest is if there is only a couple of players is to have the option of team switching so that human players can play against bots. If there is only 2 players on freon, it's more fun to have humans on the same side for teamwork to get the server started or a warm up :)

Hope retirement is treating you well mon ami ;)

I'm not sure that does anything for unrealed. Without the basic graphics driver you don't get context menus etc.

We can also mark UT to run in compatibility mode in win 10 to make it easy?

That should be fixed now. I still can't see how it got changed, as the backup had the right values. Wierd.

I know but that's why I asked to remove them since it's a pain in the ass to fix then and they do nothing in the name of balance.
Sadly I don't think i could fix pathing myself, but a good example any place where you need to do any special double jump that even the most unskilled played can figure out in a couple of attempts the bot just fails over and over again (watch a bot try to score the flag in Veniis).

You're quite right. Its configuration has been changed somehow. I'll correct it next time I have the server down for maintenance.

Perfect! Thanks buddy  8)

Could you also apply this to warfarre, bots get stuck in many places while unable to reach trivial ones when necessary and immediately finding hiding flag carriers which is just beyond nonsense.

The bigger problem of the two things you mention is the bot pathing. That's something only a mapper can fix. While I can do small map changes I know nothing about bot pathing. There's nothing stopping more players from learning this sort of thing and giving us map fixes. Is it something you could try and do?

While it is possible to make the same sort of change for vCTF, it's actually different code to Freon (in both the game and the code controlling the addition of the bot). It's not something I have on my list to look at.
