Shockbot - taking its first steps
It's pretty much up to the engine if it wants to carry them over from map to map. I will probably code it in manually for the engines that don't have this working though.
QW engines that I know of that will have the required extensions will be: FTE (when the bugs are ironed out), ezquake, zquake, mvdsv

Yeah that would work. It's the server running the bot (which in that case is mvdsv) so you could then connect with any client.

This morning I wrote up the early signs of rocket jumping... again like the rest of the bot it's still in early stages and will be improved upon later on.
A cheeky little piece of emergent behaviour is that if they stuff it up sometimes, they will attempt again if they like
I've sliced together some footage of the bots playing some different maps, to show their jumping abilities currently (although as basic as they are, it's sometimes cool to watch). As well as some combat and general stuff.
The vid is up here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIBPrCvxAl4
I think the video quality is even worse than last time... if that's possible (seems so! hah)
Let me know what you guys think

My bad!
I was watching the videos, but my brief scan-through of the original post led me to believe that it was out by looking at the link with an EXE (which turned out to be the personality editor). Just goes to show my crappy post-reading skills. :P
The AI does look very impressive. But I hope they won't suck like Nexuiz's. They're just no fun to play against.

Shockbot is meant to be like humans. I haven't seen the Nexuiz bots so I have no idea what they're like.

Things I'd like to do before making a first release:
I'm not sure when the first release will be, it really depends on how much time I get to spend on the bot. I've been really sick lately so that's really hindered development
- Ledge avoidance
Jumping AI (removing the need for jump flags on nodes)
Button support
Lift support
More human-like turning
Making more use of bot personality files (take into account reaction times/reflexes etc)
