Open Jedi Project 1.2 + Bots

[netneutral]

Hello,

 

I have Jedi Academy 1.01 and OJP 1.2 installed.

 

I've noticed that bots wielding dual and staff sabers never deploy the second saber, even when they are in the proper stance (ataru/dual) or (niman/staff).

 

1. Is this normal?  I've seen several youtube videos showing bots using dual and staff sabers correctly.

 

2. Can I restrict/edit the use of certain sabers and stances for certain bots and npcs?  If so, what files do I need to edit?

 

I've spent several hours going through the base and OJP folder.  I've made changes to the .pk3, .sab, .npc, and bot.txt files but to no avail.

 

Any insight regarding this topic is welcomed and appreciated.

 

Thank You!

I'm not sure as I don't have OJP installed but it sounds to me like the bot file doesn't give them a high enough value under saber attack. If you could show your bot file (the text) I should be able to get this working.

Here's part of the bot.txt from the base folder; assets1.pk3

Thanks for the fast response, I will post more line from the base and ojp folder .pk3 files if needed.

[Jeff]

OK post Alora's botfile (Alora.jkb), those look good.

[netneutral]

Here's Alora.jkb from the base folder pk3, the ojp folder doesn't have Alora.jkb in the pk3.

//Do not let any group exceed 8192 bytes.

//Do not let the chat section exceed 8192 bytes.

//Some values are base values and changed by the in-game skill. The formula for reflex and accuracy
//is basevalue/skill. So if you give a base reflex of 500ms, a nightmare bot will have a reaction time of
//100ms. Other values, like turnspeed_combat (higher == faster), are multiplied by the skill number.

//Note also that depending on if the bot and the enemy are moving at the same time, the degrees the bot
//aims off by can be greater than the maximum accuracy value. So if the bot and its enemy are both flying
//through the air and accuracy is at 20, the bot could easily aim off by 25 degrees instead. That is,
//unless perfectaim is 1. In this case the bot will aim perfectly at all times (as the name indicates).

There isn't Alora.npc in the OJP pk3 files.

[Jeff]

The only thing I can come up with is this

 

Change this line in Alora's jkb file

 

forceinfo        7-1-033300332000030330

 

to this

 

forceinfo        7-1-033300332000030430

 

and see if that works.

 

Don't overwrite your base game file just make a new one and put it in your ojp pk3

[netneutral]

Changing the saberattack value to 4 in the .jkb dismared all the Alora bots.  When I entered the game all the punching and screaming made me LOL!

 

I've been copy/pasting the base .pk3 files, editing any pertinent values, and inserting them into the ojp .pk3 with the same file structure/format.

 

I think I still have a few areas left to explore and I also read a post here that referred to:  saberStyle, saberStylelearned, and saberStyleforbidden values?

[Jeff]

I think I still have a few areas left to explore and I also read a post here that referred to:  saberStyle, saberStylelearned, and saberStyleforbidden values?

 

That would be in the saber files.

[netneutral]

There are 3 types of bots included with OJP:  Normal, TABBots, and AotC.

 

Changes made to the bot.txt and .jkb files affect only the Normal bots (base game) for some reason and not the other 2 types.  Also, changes made to the .npc and .sab files aren't affecting any of the bot types.

 

I can get the desired effect that I want with the Normal bots i.e. they fully deploy and utilize dual and staff sabers/stances.  Unfortunately, these bots refuse to walk or play defensively which leaves them wide open for instant kills; no fun.

 

The TABBots/AotC bots on the other hand walk while dueling and play defensively which makes for a good time.  However, these bots refuse to fully deploy dual or staff sabers even when in the proper stance.

 

I can't be certain but based on the edits I've made to the .pk3 files and from what I've seen in-game, I "think" that the TABBots/AotC bots are either hardcoded, or are calling on a file or script that I have yet to stumble across.

 

Is this a possibility?

[Jeff]

It could be, did you think of editing say Alora's npc file to give her saber offense of 3, that may be limiting her from using dual sabers if for some reason the code uses npc files instead of bot files for behavior.
