omg thats way to fast lol, and unbalanced =) the bot can 1shot kill and u spawn next to him :S also movement needs slowing down. anther thing is he knows where you are ahead of time, he can eneter a room already facing you and aimed at you.

God that was tough.. That AI is way too fast, and the mouse sensitivity drove me nuts ^^.

Lol, good job again

I can slow the Ai down, but that means slowing down the Player too to keep it fair. Or do you guys want just the Ai slowed down?

Anyhow, this was the same speed back in the doom days. I liked how fast the game was in multiplayer so I literaly 'timed' the speed in the original doom and got the same one here.

If more people dislike the speed I'll make a slower version for all you p*ssies

and what should I do with the mouse sensitivity? Slow it down too?

i think its fair to slow both the bot and the player down to more modern standards cos thats what its more likely to be used for. sensitivity could be dropped a notch to.

I don't think anything needs to be slower, the damage just needs to be balanced. The bot can one-shot-kill you with almost every gun, yet it takes two rocket launcher hits to kill him, making every other gun completely useless.


Arg Rhuarc, don't you already have AI? :P

The mouse actually seems somewhat non-time scaled. It screams 'templates' with the sound effects and weapons behaviour, so I would think it would be properly scaled... Might want to take a peek though- every time I play a templates-based game this is the case with the mouse.

Otherwise, drop sensitivity just a *tad*.

Game speed is also a bit fast in my opinion. And I swear that bot moves faster than me... might be time-correction? He can also aim much faster than the mouse allows, meaning he can grab a gun one second and be shooting me the next without the time to turn around.

Jumping would help a whole lot too I got killed probably 5 times because I thought I could jump around to avoid his shots only to remember my feet were glued to the ground. I was toast.

EDIT: @zio- see contest thread.

It is not playable. The bot is too strong.

But I like the idea very much. I would love to see a cool Doom 1 - clone with all these nice musics, effects and monsters from the original game and a better AI.

I would love to play that for sure.

@Zio: Shotgun deals a great deal of damage on short-range so the Bot can get a one-shot kill this way. Other than that, every weapon has its own advantages. I explain them a little bit here. They're perfectly balanced, cause I didn't do it, ID Software did.
The Rocket Launcher deals 100 damage, so if you needed two to kill the Bot, he most probably had the Green Armor on.

My favourite weapon for killing the bot is the shotgun, then plasma gun, then the rocket launcher. I'm not really fond of the chaingun though, I never did.

@Rhuarc: I use templates 6 for the animation, movement and physics. Doug did a terribly good job there and I couldn't think of a better system to start with. So far I'm very pleased with it and everything works great with the Ai. The mouse sensitivity suited my tastes as well, but if lots of people don't like it, I'll slow it down and make a new version.

As for the walking speed, it's the same. If you don't want to take my word for it, press F7 which will put you in the Bot's eyes. He just seems to be going crazy fast cause he's moving around all the time. I'm not really sure about the aiming though, I'll check it out later, right now I'm on a break

No jumping!!! The Bot can't jump so you don't jump either, those are the rules . When he's ready to jump, I'll enable it back for the player as well:).

After all, you couldn't jump or crouch in Doom II either . Why do you think I chose that game in the first place?

BTW, Intense Ai will work equally well for projects with or without Templates 6. I worked hard so it will be compatible both ways and will keep working independently of the version of Templates you're using or even if you're not using them at all.

I'm just saying that, cause I know it's an issue by many:)

Have to come in here guys. The bot's weapons are exactly the same as yours. The rules are exactly the same for both the bot and player. I have beta tested this thing all summer. And yes I have come close to winning the 20 frags. It is quite possable. But please be aware the weapons are the same, he runs out of ammo, and he runs out of armor. He needs to pick it up just like you.

Sorry but the only reason you can't beat the bot is because he must be a better player than you
You guys arn't going to stand for that now are you?
