Call For Help
|
When is comes to online gaming communities, the development team believes the Urban Terror is one of the best, well manored going. No, really! There are many great people in the community who continue to support and assist the community, a testament to the relationship between the gamers and the development team.
While we are still working on the "next" release, we put out a small call for help. As you know, most of what you see from the development and community sites comes to you without having to shell out any cash. I even commented on it during my recent trip to San Francisco, for the in studio taping of The Screen Savers.
Many have help to shape the community into what it is today, but we are looking for some help to finish out the year, without having to resort to "other means" when it comes to continuing to host our forums and urbanterror.net web site. The donations we received last year via our PayPal button on urbanterror.net were able to succesfully pay off about 90% of our hosting costs.
We again turn to the community in order to help offset some of the costs we continue to incur as development rolls along. I can already see some of the comments rolling in, "Well, where is 2.7?" "Give us something before we give you money!" And in due time we will, as you will read on the Urban Terror web site in the next few days.
We do not require anyone to donate. If you do not want to donate, that is fine, continue enjoying the mod and playing in the leagues and community. But, we are thankful to those who help SID offset some of the costs. If you feel the need to donate, then click the PayPal button on urbanterror.net.

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.
