Inspired by a Xonotic blog post i created some charts about the activity of all servers in the past few month. Not a complete year yet but i think there are some interesting informations to be found. Starting with the combined time of everyone playing the game per day. https://i.imgur.com/IIoJQWw.pn...

You can surprise bots if they don't see you. As alien i can follow human bots around without them noticing until they take damage. :advgranger: But after the fist encounter they seem to always know your location. Maybe the beacons could be a way to interact with bot teammates. Bots don't return to b...

when adding a bot you can set the skill that determines the aiming, witch at is worst lets bots shoot at the ceiling
Efficiency nails it quiet good. Always the shortest path etc.
So we need the bots do some silly stuff

Now it works as intended. https://github.com/Gireen/Unvanquished/tree/devolve The next problem are the bots. It would be nice if they could build there base and repair it. I read that Bot could do this earlier but i cant find any code related to that. The general bot behavior could also be a bit imp...

penalization of not recovering previously spent evos There is no limitation in devolving yet. :confused: Seems like devolving to granger or dretch returns 0 mps but all other classes return the spend points. side note, when bots can devolve it turns them into screaming balls of pain while they swit...

Including alien health in the calculation can solve this two problems morph points spend * percentage of health * return rate the return rate is then just another wheel for balancing adjustments that has a stronger effect on bigger classes. A cocoon ... that sound like the hovel could make a return ...

The comparison how its works with humans when changing gear is quiet fitting. With that in mind its probably better start of with deevolving being without costs, like selling a weapon. Disallowing aliens to evolve near humans has its reasons.Without it a small alien could easily rush into a human ba...

I came only recently back from the dead so i cant talk much about the last years, but i dont think the game is dead. Here is a crude graphic of last weeks game activity from players online at the same time https://i.imgur.com/HxA227b.png Sure its not really alive eighter but thats not that big of a ...

Well then this will be a mod for trying out changes and hopefully improvements to the gameplay. The goal is to reach the most positive effects with the least effort. :wink: In that sense i think its good to start with the low player gamplay, means 1-2 players. As by lamefun and others already mentio...

A mix of wallwalking in NS2 and wallwalking without auto pitch could also be interesting.
