i never knew what a bot manager was or is still, no one would ever tell me, so can someone be the first to tell me?

thank you!

There's only one way to get it faster ... and that's if you're willing to do some serious testing.

Tomorrow I'm checking a few custom-models as they appear to have enabled a few new tricks.
If everything checks out ok then a few lucky beta-testers can expect to see their first verion by monday ... provided they've send me an e-mail :

Well ... all you had to do was ask

The botmanager allows people to modify existing bot-definitions & add new characters/bots to UT'04.
It does so by editing the .upl-files in the UT2004\System-directory.
The changes possible include using different skins, voices or models for the character. This feature was available in UT'99, but for some reason it's not been included in UT'04.

It also allows you to modify the behaviour of the bots of your choice by giving them a (different) favourite weapon or by changing their accuracy (and five other stats).

Other features include :

• installing new characters from .umod & .zip-files
• creating the .zip- & .umod-files for distribution
• creating & compiling the items required for pushing characters from a server to clients
• listen to the voicepack for a character without having to start either UnrealEd or UT'04 itself
• the chance to generate random names for the characters
• ...

Looks good Jafo, can't wait for the release!

*update*

The basic functions appear to be working as planned.
Even the new biography-text appeared without so much as a change in the code, which is good news.
I probably will change the interface in that bit though, altough that won't happen in the internal release tonight.

Beta-testers can expect to see the first test-version sometime tonight (CET).
I probably send just the executable, so you'd need to have the current release installed.
More on this bit (including install-procedure & features that need to be tested/ignored) in the e-mails tonight.

I had the pleasure of using the BotManager for 2k3 and I am looking forward to the 2k4 version. Very good work.

Indeed, that guy will definately break what is to break

The mail has been sent to the beta-testers that have responded.
