Bots attack in Glacius rn

[adminless]

haha no those are "legit" bots. I mean, those bots come from some legit developer in the community and the guy just asked to test them at glacius since it's a death server. they are actually not allowed/disabled at the main server but there it should not be a problem for other than meeting times or occasional games.

Adminless I will report you now cause you're the real cheater!!!

[adminless]

hahaha hey it wasn't me I can assure you that. in any case, thank for the input as usual.

Will they be there again? I am curious if they are any different then the basic bots.

[adminless]

yes, I guess the guy deving them won't just quit for that and will probably keep showing up at glacius from time to time. apparently that's his goal (i.e. to create some modern ai based bots more similar to humans). I even told him that if he can pull off a remarkable ai team I wouldn't even mind assembling some community team to give them a game. ai is exceptionally good at pattern identification so I'd also be interested in see what the bots would come up with strategy-wise. in any case, I repeat such bots are disallowed at the main servers so it shouldn't be a issue.

Yes, completely different. No stock logic and definitely no spinning.

I am actually working on training neural networks using real player demo material. This is only version 0.0.7 right now, but I'm already really happy that the bot understands map navigation, basic movement techniques, and has a solid idea of fighting logic. It also runs a real-time cyber overlay so I can track its behavior.

@adminless Thank you so much for letting me use Glacius to run these live tests!! And challenge accepted for the Humans vs. AI match once they are fully trained

It feels good to be hosting Glacius nights again... even if the guests are AI this time. I put together a quick promo video showing the bot's overlay and the new code in action:



See you in the arena!

So you are the "guy" Karen. Interesting project tho. PM me if I can help you with the development somehow.
