Is there any way to add bots to the LAN games, so that I would be able to play skirmishes while being offline.

Yes, on maps that have bots in them. Go through some 3rd party maps and check them out.

I've searched google for it and found nothing really, a bunch of broken download links. Huh

Thanks for the help man.

If you think you are really good then try this:

http://www.renhelp.net/downloads/maps/C&C_Dam-tastic2.zip

It's impossible for even the most experienced person to get through alone so you might need a buddy.

Objectives:

1. Find the key to each gate or "Safe Zones" as I call them.

2. Destroy the power switch for the gates at the beginning of the map to open them. (All located in the safe zones)

3. Kill Raveshaw at the end of the map.

NOTE: There are PT's but they are only in Safe Zones. You have to earn your right to them.

Also note that my bots play for keeps Smile I don't let weak bots get into my maps.

Downloading.

If you have any more skirmish maps, feel free to post links.


Isn't there any "non objective" map available, where the AI just buys tanks and soldiers and try to wipe out your base, and you do likewise, like the RTS c&c.

Not that i know of.

I could easily simulate that but it wouldn't be nearly as good as you think. Just getting bots to shoot at buildings is a three day trip... and thats if you don't make them come from somewhere first.

I think that, with a little improvement on waypoints and such, the "multiplayer practice" map simulates it pretty decent.

Well that's easy, they don't attack buildings, use tanks, repair anything and its just basic stuff.

Could you get them to attack buildings? Anyways, another map like the practice one, but bigger with more space and backdoors into bases and such, would be heaven.

Told you, my bots don't play around. As for the respawners they only have a limited amount of places to respawn, it's just coincidence if they spawn right next to you.

EDIT:

How many zones did you pass?

Blah, I set a timer for 80 minutes for myself in a 1-person LAN game, and I got to the power plant ONCE before I died for the 17th time and had only 7 minutes left (I do have screenshots, but I'll upload them later if I have time). Freakin' HARD!

Anyway, a couple of gripes: the bridge before you reach the obelisk causes a HUGE load of jitter lag and FPS lag (18-22 down from 50ish, and I have a good machine and graphics card), probably from loading all the bots in the dam and bridge at once or something. Also, although it's nice that when the bots are in that "board the elevator" mode they choose not to shoot you unless you shoot them, sometimes when there's 10 of them in the same place, they clog the elevator and stop it from moving. It's also rather hard to get past that many on your way BACK from the power plant, when the ramjet only hits 2 people and you only get one timed c4 to deal with two waves of bots attacking from both sides.

Apart from that, I've been enjoying your map, and I hope to finish it before I have to write two essays as one of tomorrow's take-home final exams.

I couldn't find the red keycard. Sad

If it's down the lift in the power plant, then the lift wouldn't work for me, and there was nobody in the obelisk. D:

I just used the standard map I don't know what could be lagging it down at the dam. I have the same problem with the bots in the elevator, they walk in there on their own because of all the shooting up top. I really should put a pathfind blocker there so they wont go up. Ill post an updated version in a few minutes.

Updated? ARRGH!! and I just ran out of my 2 hour time limit, and I have to eat and then write essays Sad Anyway, for Jonty, the red card is inside the power plant, in the generator room (blue color with the thingy going up and down).

Edit: Also, if you don't mean for the flare by the Obelisk gate to be a PT, please remove it so it doesn't give people false hope Razz

Lol, that's so they know it's a teleporter. There is a PT on the inside so no loss really.

I thought as much, but I can't get the down-elevator to that section to work. Enabling radar so I can see the bots confirms that there may be a bot standing in the way at the bottom that I can't get rid of. I'll play it through again tomorrow and see if it's any different. Rocked Over
