A new update is released! A list of changes can be found in the
v1.2 update entry.
(Ironically, neither of the two "TODO" items listed in the script were worked on, lol)
These are mostly small tweaks aimed at fixing various bugs and improving AI ability use. For example, Sonic and Knuckles can now use their abilities to attack targets:
The other notable change is that the singleplayer bot can now mimic your powerups and shields, allowing some of the unique shield behaviors to be seen in singleplayer:
As always, many thanks to anyone who's supported this - it's been a fun little project to work on!
It's worth noting that unless a major bug is found that needs a hotfix, this will likely be the last release for the immediate future. At
some point, I'd like to rewrite this to better support other mods (characters etc.) or even other game modes (parts of this could be feasibly repurposed for a match bot!), but that would need some actual time set aside... :)
In the meantime - enjoy!
Edit: Also, regarding the "AddPlayer" bit:
It does... nothing. The Console Log says it's an unknown command.
I think I know how it works now we have to get the 2.2.9
Unfortunately, it looks like this didn't make the cut for 2.2.9 - the
merge request for this (by CobaltBW btw, not me! Haha) is still open. Hopefully it gets included in a later version - if so, I'll update foxBot to support it. In the meantime, I'd definitely suggest
BuddyEX as others have (I imagine you're already using it, but still worth mentioning - I think it's really neat!)
