Well I'm not completely sure myself but I know some reasons:
  1. Bot pathfinding: the server continuously has to calculate routes for about 16 bots
  2. Bot AI: in game code regularly does sighttraces so the bot is aware of threats.
  3. Animation scripts: all bot animations are called from .scr files in the anim folder. Scripts are much slower than game code.
  4. Bot scripts: bots check for tasks every 0.4 seconds. These checks involve a lot of distance calculations.

Can we add the scoreboard to our levels already or is it still in development?

Thanks.

wow, looks excellent. That was a problem I really didn't see a solution to, but seems like you guys found it. Now, if I understand correctly, that is not the actual scoreboard, right? Instead you made another scoreboard that looks identical to the original that you can bring up by pushing a button other than tab. Correct?

Yes.

Too bad the score are not completely accurate. It's not recorded when a bot kills a player, so all you see on the scoreboard are 'bot kills', i.e. kills in which a bot was killed.

Hey jv

it dont really matter if they're random, sure it would be good with them proper, but random score's add a bit of realism


Good work :D

Oh no

I'm having a very annoying problem with the botscores :cry:

It's due to a bug or an 'intended uglyness' in the mohaa dedicated server code. This code automatically spawns a fake player in the map, even if no clients have connected. My bot script tries to send the score information from the server to this 'fake' client, which results in a load of errors and finally in a 'division by zero' crash :?
