Hypov8 and [M] have made further improvements to the bots on the Luschen Botmatch server.
As you probably know the Luschen Botmath server can be changed to play DM, Team DM, Hitmen and Bagman). Hypo and [M] have made the bots better at Bagman now:-
When a BM map is played that they have never played, it is important that a Human joins both teams and goes to the home safe, so that they learn where that is.
Then when you play the map again, they should know ;)
Another improvement is that all bots are actually in the game chat now. They even talk to one another.
When Humans chat a lot, it can get a bit annoying though. If you find it too much, just type “mute bot” or “shut up Kingpin” in chat and they will be quiet for 10mins.
Also the Kingpin bot now knows the name of the author of every map in rotation. If you type who made this map the bot will respond with the map name and who made it and possibly one or two other titbits aboutthe map.
The Sunday Game this week will be the Halloween mod. The first hour or so will be Halloween Hitmen then the remainder of the night will be Halloween CTF.

If you have been thinking about coming along for a game why not bite the bullet (literally) and come along this Thursday :)
Jerry has released a new death match map called Weaponomicon.
It is another small map. There is one battle room inside and a pathway outside with ladders down to a platform where the cooling mod is. If you fall off the pathway or at the back of the room inside you will die.
It uses all custom textures made by Jerry and will be chaotic with a good crowd.
You can download weaponomicon (wpndm4.bsp) from here.
Just extract/unzip the files to your Kingpin folder and they will be placed in the correct locations.
The Sunday game this week will be Halloween Bagman on the Neskool Halloween mod server.

As you may know you can change the bot settings of the Luschen Botmatch server (and the Luschen GunRace +bots server) at the M's Kingpin Server List page. You can change the number of bots, their skill level and the game mode.
[M] has let me know that a new setting has been added that can also be amended by players.
The new setting is called Bot Skill Deviation ans is explained in the following:-
The new percentage setting for the botmatch server:
When it is set to 0, all bots will play at the skill level set (6 in the screen above).
If you set it to a different value, the bots’ skill will deviate.
Let’s say current botskill is 4 and you set the percentage to 50%, it will make the worst bot play 50% below the overall skill level, so the worst bot will play at level 2 (4 * 50% = 2).
The best bot will play 50% above that level, which would be 6 (4 * 150% = 6).
All other bots in between will have their individual skill spread out evenly, so if there are 6 bots, their skill would be spread out like this:
Kingpin: 6
Duke: 5
B&B: 4
MrBurns: 3.3
Homer: 3
LadieDie: 2
Smaller percentages will make the field more narrow.
If you set it to 100%, the best bot will play at twice the overall skill level (capped at 10 though) and the worst bot plays at level 0.
This allows you to create fields of bots that might fit the Human players better.
The “Bot Hunt” setting (which is disabled in the screen above), will make the bots raise right to skill level 10 if a Human player leads by more than 4 frags. This setting is brutal as we learned ;) So we made it optional.
