Title: GTM bot exchange *Public release*
Post by: goose on January 14, 2007, 10:31:05 PM: the bot exchange is ready to be released to the public. there are a few features that are not done, and may still have a few bugs, but it is now fully functional.

Thanks goes out to all the testers.
Special thanks to ACAMS, Clickbeetle, Zero Absolute, and TheDisturbedone for all your help and moral support.

Starcore has already uploaded the newest version of Alien Queen for all you guys to test out.

Notes: It looks best in firefox, and many features require you to have javascript enabled.

http://botexchange.gametechmods.com/ (http://botexchange.gametechmods.com/)

anyone can download bots, however registering/logging in gives you access to many more features.

Post by: goose on January 15, 2007, 03:47:14 PM: sit and spinners are bots that spin in circles to kill other bots-they have spikes around their bot.

(Clarification of toolatenobrainitis incoherent question I wrote last last night, fell asleep at the computer, and my wife entered this morning, before I woke up, to log on to her stuff):
Are there only User bots available to download, are there any AIs available? or way to make them available. (asking too much?)
If someone could downloads AIs into some kind of exchange, is there a way to get, or at least communicate what specs to use in, the 'Bindings.py' for these if already AI-ed? Surely it would save others from starting from scratch and manually duplicating the work, testing and tweaking already done. And to get a nuance of the builder's idea concerning how the bot was supposed to function really helps when AI-ing.
I have several AIs I would like to upload (make available) if there's a way. I think I am getting pretty good at AI-ing bots. And from what I've read on these forums there are other AI-ers out there who would like to swap there menacing, tweaked out AIs.
So is there a way to trade AIs on this very neat robot exchange? or is there another place, or way to add this feature to bot trading???
I'm a little new at this trading bots online, so pardon my question if I sound ignorant, for I am.
Input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Madiaba.

Post by: goose on January 17, 2007, 01:59:02 PM: you want to download single AI bots?

I could add a section where you can upload the code or something. Dunno.

I don't think its worth the effort to add it.as always, however, if enough people do I will.

here are a list of most AI packs for the game(Stock, not dsl):

Post by: Madiaba on January 17, 2007, 03:05:24 PM: Thanks for the info Goose. I do greatly appreciate the amount of work you put into this bot exchange. The reason I ask is- since I rarely get to play other Users head to head, I have had to develop some tough new AIs to go up against. The challenge is fun.

I have tried some of the bots that I have downloaded from your site and many are pretty neat designs. Maybe I will AI some of them for a challenge.

Again, thanks for your efforts . . .

Post by: Clickbeetle on January 20, 2007, 03:24:59 PM: You can put the AI code for your bot, if it has any, in the description. It's not very long.
