I thought Graion only worked on the chat personality and response stuff?
IIRC (please correct me if I'm wrong):
- Most stuff about "new bot chat personality" was made by Chaoticsoldier, with some help from Graion. Unfortunately, there were some problems with that stuff (red error messages in console during gameplay with bots, maybe?), and so it has
not been included in OA 0.8.8. I don't know if current SVN/GIT repos do include that stuff or not.
- Graion did the patch (originally a small .pk3 to use with your 0.8.5 installation) that allowed to use third-party bots designed for Q3A in OA. Such stuff has been integrated into OA 0.8.8, so third-party bots designed for Q3 do work in OA (although you can
occasionally see some warnings in console when they are in... before that change, they were not able to select weapons and a repeated error message
flooded console).
- Graion did the patch which allows to play
DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/ModCompat/ARQ]ARQ mod in OA (that was designed for 0.8.5, I hope it still works with 0.8.8).
I don't know if such kind of experience can be useful for things like teaching bots to strafe jump or
fixing the bugs in their usage of grappling hook... Sure, chatting it much different than moving around the arena!
