| News 02/17/99 New Reaper Bot Challenge. It's 4 skill 0 bots, teamed against you with deathmatch 1 this time. This means you can refresh your health and armor but weapon stay is gone now. Install the ReaperBot (rpbot) modification for Quake1. You can get it from the Essentail Files section at http://redwood.stomped.com or from http://impact.frag.com . For those clueless about
the ReaperBot mod, it adds computer generated deathmatch
opponents to Quake1. They are tough. This challenge puts
you in a 10 minute free for all match against 4 wimpy
skill 0 bots. Should be no problem except, they are all
ganged up against you. SETTING
THINGS UP Install and test the ReaperBot mod to quake. You will probably want to rename the "autoexec.cfg" file created in the rpbot directory. It has the annoying property of taking precedence over the autoexec.cfg file in the quake/id1 directory. The config.cfg file in the rpbot directory is ignored. If you have any tricky aliases or key binding script files that you exec at the Quake console, when you play quake, don't forget to put a copy of these files in the rpbot directory. Otherwise you won't have access to them. These usually are rocketjump macros etc. Once the game starts up, you can quickly type "exec myfile.cfg" to set these up before running reaperbot challenge .cfg file Download the reaperbot
challenge config file into your quake/rpbot directory. Start up Quake1 ReaperBot with one of the following command line (in a dos window or by a windows shortcut)
The -condebug option creates the log file "qconsole.log" in the quake/rpbot directory. New messages are appended to the end of the file so erase this file before you are log your challenge game. Start the challenge by pulling down the console (~) and typing
You will find yourself in level DM1 with 4 reaperbots. At the end of the good game, capture the screen shot (F12) to document your score. If the reaperbots don't appear, try adding extra "wait" lines to the file. It took me several hours to construct a .cfg file that worked right. If you have any problems, let me know. The demo file "gamrb2.dem" is also recorded in the rpbot directory. It is overwritten each time you run the game. Save the qconsole.log and gamrb2.dem file somewhere after you have logged your challenge entry. Cheating
Submit your frag counts by e-mailing me at [email protected] Please do not send me the qconsole.log or gamrb2.dem file unless I ask for them. Just hang on to them. You guys will flood my mailbox. If grap the beat the top score, send in the screen shot if you want to. |
