Enhanced Bot AI
|
Since the early days of Urban Terror, there has been a continued interest in the development team improving the current bot code. Not since GottaBeKD, that is going back to 2000 have we had someone whose primary focus was bot AI. I guess we can all agree that some bot code is better than none, but it could be better...
Recently, we have been in contact with a coder who goes by the name of AxonMisFire. His interest is two fold when it comes to AI and the implementation, or shall we say enhancement of the bot AI. Currently, he and his research team at the University of Texas, Arlington are working on bots in a given environment. Based on previous conversations, getting the bots to move and act in the Urban Terror (Quake 3) environment is something that is of interest to both his personal research and the development team.
Currently, he is working with the code base. While no real window has been set or talk about merging the current code base with that of the bot code, the wheels are in motion to bring "smart" bots to life in Urban Terror. No more seeing Chicken running around in circles shooting at the ground or Cockroach running right past you, until you fire a shot. We will update you on the process as it relates to the bots and get AxonMisfire to give you a bit more information.

Tale of Terror !!
|
Last Friday evening, Silicon Ice Development had a small gathering on TeamSpeak2 to discuss the progress of our current development cycle, get an update on the play testing and distribution. Each team member in attendance gave us a synopsis on development. Density reports having pinpointed some code that was server crashes and removed it. The bomb code is still being worked on, as is the explosion for when the timer reaches zero. TwentySeven is nearly finished with the ARIES2 code, that will use new models for hit detection once implemented.
Miles and Bladekiller have been busy reskinning models, heads and weapons. Currently, there is currently one set of skins (TAG & SWAT) completed. We will also be reskinning the arms/hand models for the next release. CrazyButcher has completed the new G36 model, as Miles has been working on skinning it. Both Bladekiller and Miles are still working on creating more heads. Since the team skins are going to be set by the level designer, gamers will only have to choose male or female and skin color. Thus, adding more heads will give gamers a bit more variety. In addition to all the skinning going on, we are also working on getting a few different bomb models created. Currently, there are three under development, from a block of C4 attached to dynamite, to a briefcase bomb. We have also remodeled and skinned the silencer.
Currently there are fourteen levels that are undergoing beta testing. Some of these levels, as we have mentioned before have very few changes, while others are complete rebuilds or all new levels. SweetnutZ has released an updated version of Casa, that is being used for Bomb/Defuse. He also released Siberia for internal testing, still some minor work to be done, such as the addition of locations on the level. Together with the currently levels SID has created, we are at approximately 35 levels. Some of these levels will not make the final cut, based on how we are going to distribute the next version. Guess you should brace yourself now, there will not be an upgrade released, you will be required to download an all new version of Urban Terror once there is an official release. Levels will be selected based around three categories, Team Survivor, Capture the Flag, and Bomb & Defuse. There will also be some "other" levels added, that suite multiple game modes.
NOTES: You will notice some new features and information in the screen shots. Featured today are ut_crenshaw by INVIS, ut_casa by SweetnutZ and ut_precinct by WetWired. The scoreboard in the top right corner can now reflect unique team names. You will also notice a "The BOMB has been Planted!" message. You can now point your crosshair at a teammate and it will reflect their name, along with health status (notice green bar).
