Kind of surprised to see this post near the top of this section again!  Can't edit the top post any more, probably due to the fact that this thread is ~11 years old now...  oof, where did the time go...

Starting to get back into Open Arena so I -might- start working on this map again, though I probably should create a new thread if I do.  For now, here's the links.

These are the final set of files that I released back in '08, so no changes at the moment.

[Cleaned up ai_team.c]

Cleaned up ai_team.c

This should allows us to take a better look at how the bots are organized in team matches.

There's a fork created by Id's own Timothy Besset. And Sago also forked it.

I am working on my own fork too, but it is not ready to go public yet.

[game/ai_char.c]

When I thought about this idea some months ago it would be within UI3 but i'm not too sure about writing .c files it can't do a pure check given that ease...

If you're talking about an in-game editor, then you could skip the .c files and send the bot characteristics directly from client to the server via some new command(s) implemented in the game qvm.

In order to make the tool simple and easy to use, it should request only two values per attribute, one expected when skill=1 (the "minimum", which in some cases would be the "maximum") and another expected when skill=5 (vice-versa).

The current bots already skip skills 2 and 3, they don't exist in the .c files, they are interpolated from skills 1 and 4.  You could in theory skip skill 4 too and just interpolate between 1 and 5 -- see BotLoadCharacter() function in game/ai_char.c

Are you sure the "Servers" field on the top says "internet"? Did you try to stop scan (spacebar) and try again (click "refresh" button on bottom)?

The first time you launched the game, Windows should have asked you if you wanted to allow network access for openarena.exe, and you had to allow for all networks. If you didn't and the popup window does not appear anymore, you should allow it through Windows Firewall Advanced settings. If you wish, before going into Advanced settings, you may temporarily disable the firewall completely and try again, just to be sure the problem is with your firewall.

Note: you might be using a firewall bundled with some third party anti-malware software instead of Windows Defender Firewall, in that case you should check in that firewall settings.

Yeah, if you compile this particular SDL 1.2 fork
https://github.com/vanfanel/SDL-1.2.15-raspberrypi
and this
https://github.com/OpenArena/engine/

it should be able to start (while using the GL kms driver)

Edit: Im running 8.8.8

Hello. Whenever I get on OpenArena and select multiplayer, the screens says " No Servers Found". What do I do? My friend is using linux while I am using windows, and his works fine. the version I am using is 8.5.1 if that helps.


Thanks in advance,

I was wondering if anybody here has gotten OpenArena to work on a raspberry pi. I know that the pi can work for servers but i'm not sure for actual gameplay. I got a raspberry pi last week so i was going to use it for open source projects. If anybody has any answers that would be coolio.

I do find making individual bot .c files a little tedious and would rather make one set of sliders and have the other skills modulate from that...
