H_Bot

Here is another idea for bitfighter:
The H_BOT (Helper Bot) Could be added then you could give it commands like:
/H_BOT kill/<player name here>
/H_BOT help/<player name here>
/H_BOT change weapons to: WEAPON1/WEAPON2/WEAPON3
/H_BOT change modules to: MOD1/MOD2
/H_BOT move

This commands will be give through pming the bot.

We would need to add some code to make this work. Currently, I don't think bots know how to read/receive PMs, and I don't think they can identify ships by player names. Each ship gets a unique identifier when it spawns, and I believe these even change over time for the same player on spawn/death. I'm not sure if there's any hard coded system that links ship IDs and player name. One of the developers would have a better idea...but the weapon/module/move stuff is all totally code-able with what we've got, and you could always use team chat as opposed to PMs.

If this feature works, we could form our own bot squads.

Lol. And _k just explained why this "feature" won't work.

Well the good news is that script triggers are pretty easy to add to the code, like onPMReceived()...but I'm not exactly sure how the ship/player identification problem sorts out. I don't think identifying the message sender would be difficult, though.

It could work, it's just the programming obstacles. I don't think it's worth doing because most players don't seem to like to play with s_bots anyways. Everyone cares about BBB and PvP, and dislikes bots and thinks they're OP. Most people just can't fight them man, just like not everyone understands _k's posts.

Tweaked it above.

hmm problem is is expiremtned with hte S_bot code and chaging hte wepon can make it innificent for exmaple i tri3de bursts and it kept suciding and boucning me all over........

also i agree not sure how it would be codded...
