Chris Jenkins Posted April 26, 1999 Share Posted April 26, 1999 When having the computer play itself, can we choose a perspective (for hidden movement) or do we see everything? It would be interesting to see how the enemy AI thinks when confronted with false reports, scetchy information, ect. ------------------ Climb to Glory!

JMcGuire Posted July 5, 2000 Share Posted July 5, 2000 I was just searching on the user name "Big Time Software" -- a good way to hit everything the programmers had to say along the way -- and came across this thread. One thing I'd *REALLY* like to see is a tweak to CM to let it run as a screen saver. Think about it... throw in a little bit of code to let the camera wander around, and have the computer play itself over and over. I've often wondered why more games didn't use their "demo" modes or AI vs. AI as screen savers. One for the wish-lists... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jenkins Posted July 5, 2000 Author Share Posted July 5, 2000 Yes, quite right. AI vs AI would be a welcome addition to this most welcome game. ------------------ "Rinky dinky stinky thinky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted July 5, 2000 Share Posted July 5, 2000 I know this is an ignorant question, but how do you get the computer to play itself. I haven't seen the option listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted July 5, 2000 Share Posted July 5, 2000 Its not listed since it can't be done. Look at the original date of this post. I am guessing this idea was toyed with early on then discarded for various reasons. I would also warn to others that want to add to this old thread to SEARCH before they pipe in and ask for the following: >AI resuming a battle for human player >AI playing with a portion of humans forces Both of these ideas were mentioned and determined to NOT be planned (or worth implementing) by BTS.

JMcGuire Posted July 5, 2000 Share Posted July 5, 2000 ...And then revamp the AI with some neural net weighting and use screen saver mode to train itself... by the time you get home from work, you'll be facing Rommel himself...

JMcGuire Posted July 6, 2000 Share Posted July 6, 2000 Hacking the forum??? You mean like, doing a "Search" for "Big Time Software" so I could see what some of the developers had to say? Geez, give me a break. I came across this old thing and found it interesting. So I'm a late-comer to CM. Shoot me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted July 6, 2000 Share Posted July 6, 2000 He's not referring to you JMcGuire.. He's referring to someone whose posts here were deleted due to their nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcGuire Posted July 6, 2000 Share Posted July 6, 2000 Oh. Sorry. Since I was the one who pushed it up, I assumed... well... nevermind. Now that you mention it, I did find some 404's when I did my BTS name-search. Oddly they were all in reference to pirated copies of BTS. (I've always wondered how small independent developers combat this issue and was hoping to find some useful nuggets of wisdom...) Thanks for the clarification.
