You're entitled to your opinion.
It's just unfortunate you don't understand the severe complexity it is to not only make these changes without the source (completely disregarding that none of us model), but to understand how it works in the first place.
We can do a very basic, extremely simple map at this point. Barely worth releasing, but it's there.
That took more than 2 months of progress. Items take a total of 30ish seconds to input, another few minutes of implementing the models.

It's easy to say we're "wasting time" when you're not the one working on a multi-month project that was abandoned in December.

we do many new stuff but release none : )

We release a ton of awesome stuff we never thought possible even a year ago.
Friends/lobby list gives us complete control on the ui of the game.
We've already created and release new game modes that don't even require tags anymore.
We've even done some innovative stuff in-game to make raid more interesting.

We've proven we can create new models by releasing the headless kowbat and kowbat head. While we do have the technology to create and release new models, none of us have the modelling skill to create anything worthwhile.

In-game maps, we have, in fact, learned to move around nodes and create platforms. However, this is extremely early in WIP, as a project me and Ross abandoned in like December due to the thorn we've had for awhile. It's possible we will bring this project back up now that that thorn is gone.

TLDR this short few sentences,
We don't release unfinished content. Just because the ui update wasn't released a day before we released it doesn't mean we weren't capable of doing it a day before it was released.

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?!?

haha, jk.

But doesn't **** (<<<lol that this is censored XD) also have the source? What other ways are there to get the source besides buying it from T-Bots?

13. Do not bypass the censor (even if it's for a beneficial purpose).

its not like we dont understand it, its like you never say anything so we assume you dont do shit just to go straight to the point

In the time since the release of the faction update (which still isn't released as far as im aware) you could fully remake Boutcheetah from scratch in C#, making it your own game with full acces to code (your own source code ?!?!)

Not sure if this is a statement, suggestion, or question, but I can say that that's partially unrealistic.
BOTS was made, if I had to estimate, in possibly a year or two. By a development team of at least 20.
We are three people. One of which has minimal programming experience, and none of which have modelling, graphical, or engine-related experience.

Saying you can make a 3D game from scratch (in our case, that'd be redoing all the models and animations aswell) in less than a couple years, in a team of 3 inexperienced people, is not something I would agree with as feasible. It has been thought over, and ultimately turned down.

Madprox

Pretty sure a friend of mine can make 3D models for parts, monsters, etc.

Depending on what you require it to be (file type etc idk), i could ask him if he can actually and then there is the possibility of him teaching me.

Idk if you're convinced or intrested, but yeah.
PM me or steam if you are.

Why not ask some of the members if they can use the programs to create new maps, etc. Or maybe a new topic pertaining to ideas for new features.

did u know theres a suggestions section of the forum?

EnergyCell2

Wait, Allie or Rossbach, are maps like .obj files? If so, i got a nice fix for your issue.
Yes. I'm xhalo7. I guess you'll have to deal with that.
Ban me. I don't give a shit. I'll make my return one day.

I can also make 3d models i dont think thats the problem here.

that'd be redoing all the models

1. Use 3D Ripper DX and rip all the game models.
2. Get someone to animate them.
3. Use some simple engine like unity.
4. Do all the coding for the game.
???
Profit
i don't play bots anymore!

All models and animations are encoded in a program created and used only by N-Log.
We've successfully decrypted it (after like 5 years), but it'd still be incredibly difficult to use and animate them.

robbyke

tbh, if you find someone willing to do it just for the credit its probably easier to recreate all the models than try and get them out of BOTS

he has the whole game to look at. even if he takes a while if he enjoys doin it he will finish you modeling.

on top if you would remake bots it would be easier to create some file that contains all your map data as i understand now all maps are hardcoded in the game?

having the original source code would help alot but on a game as "old" as this one it would be better to start from scratch and just use the idea behind it.


and to finish this, ive decided to try it however its not gonna be for really soon, if i get it to work ill let zg have it because id just love to see it work
im starting from scratch without even having a clue how currently all classes and db work togheter,

This sums up a lot that ZG has done a lot to the old Bots of the Acclaim which was bugged as ship.
If anyone wants to know the struggle and hard work they made just go and try Bots.
Btw the acclaim bots was literally bugged as $hit.

ZG bots and normal bots have the same bugs and glitches, its not any different.
