Experimental

• /bot midi [filename] (Not Started)

○ A single button rhythm mini-game inspired by Rhythm Doctor. The specified MIDI file song is played and the bot attacks following the rhythm. Stand in front of the bot and block or die. Otherwise, hang back and chill to the music. Files can be traded.

○ When the bot sees a special silent note (haven't picked one yet) in the MIDI file, it attacks.

○ You can quickly edit these special notes into existing MIDI files using an online editor or create your own song from scratch.

○ Dev note: Windows has built-in legacy MIDI drivers (mmeapi.h) and since Gunz is Windows based, this implies that musical data may be streamed to other nearby players for them to synthesize. Lag is likely to be a huge issue though.

○ Dev note: Even better, Gunz uses DirectX so I can use the DirectMusic API. DirectMusic is depreciated, but Gunz has Fmod already integrated as ZSoundFMod, which can support MIDI. MIDI Tutorial.

○ Dev note: Black MIDI exists (a song with like 200 billon notes)... Put a cap on max notes and duration.

Good job bro! Can't wait to see this in the future updates.. :)

Whilst reading I came up with ideas just to realize that you literally wrote them under. Good work. Only thing I would think to be nice is to have multiple presets of "training programs" where instead of queueing commands in !custom there'll be a list of premade actions designed to warm up a player. this would be something like a combination of constantly aiming at the enemy who issued the command, and doing a sequence of events you would usually find in a duel room.

Also, if it's within your scope of interest, programming the bot with an AI to battle the player instead of just performing a sequence of events. I might be able to help with the AI part. This should be similar to quest mode, but far more intelligent to actually be challenging.

Oh yes, good ideas. I'm going to take baby steps and keep things simple for now, but I'll see if I can generalize the code so that inputs can come from a player, or is generated from an AI for future "upgradability".

I love seeing community work that has actualy potential for our game! Kudos keep it up dude.

Love it, if you need lines for the BMs just check the ego section, I can also link a specific youtube channel. The good manners is just unheard of, good on ya.

Added outline.

Is there a way to display images on the post? It only displays a link.

[img]link[/img]

Looking forward for the beta stage, let me know if you need any sort of testing, I can provide assistance.

Reopened (thread got autoclosed after 2 weeks)

how far have you been able to get this? just really curious since it's one of the few interesting things going on here.

I'm slowly inching along. I'm setting up the testing environment at the moment. I glanced through the source code and the training bot looks do-able so far.

Updated progress on my first post with gifs.

Finished setting up my testing environment. Time to start the hard stuff (spawning a player); it's going to take awhile...


I apologize ahead of time if this thread auto-locks.

would you be interested in gathering data from other players you can use?

I am more than willing to do some kstyle for you to test the bot with.

Thanks for the offer. If McSic deems the code worthy, I was thinking of letting him handle that with his new team of testers.

Added some dummy commands.

Question for y'all. How many bots should be allowed in a room? One, "infinite", one per person?
I was also thinking of having the bot just be your exact clone when you spawn it.

edit: omg I want bot battles. Yesssss.
Perhaps a /bot defendme <radius> command where the bot follows you and attacks people/bots that get too close.
Maybe a /bot attack <playerID> command too.

1 per person I'd think, plus a room limit as an additional restriction. You could have a training room with 32 players in theory, 32 bots on top of that would probably be too much. Have to wait and see what McSic thinks though.

Make it a mode (bot mode) and set the limit of players to 16 with 1 bot per person so you have 32 in total?
Maybe set a max HP/AP to the bot (9999/9999)?

Yeah, one bot per person sounds good. I'll limit the commands to only work in training rooms with a [bot] tag. God mode could be toggle-able with /bot god. I'll put in a check for the spawn limit, but I'll let you guys figure out what a good number is. I vaguely remember some pserver that allowed 64 or 128 players per room.

Added dummy bot. Still needs a lot of work.

Hmm... Should I generalize the code so that you can technically spawn an army, but the limit is set to 1 for the average player? I wonder what is a good way to control an army though.

Personally I would not go for a whole army.
Just start with 1 dummy and work from there if you think there is need for more.

Sounds good to me, lol. I can see some fun event ideas and/or modes.

Instead of having to type movement commands manually (slot1>jump>200>attack>slot2>200>attack>slot1>5000), I have seen a server make a bot that simply (and conveniently) repeats the same moves of the player in a 'replay' manner. Guy presses a key, does some moves, presses another key to finish and the bot starts to repeat those exact moves the guy did.

Interesting. I think I see a way to make that. I'll do some tests.

very impressive work.. i like you

Oh cool. I found the official documentation for GunZ. Here is the HTML version.

Added army capabilities.

I'm thinking that each command would control all the bots. For example /bot turtle makes them all turtle. Or they would all copy your actions live with /bot copy maybe.

I'm at a natural stopping point, so I'm taking the time tonight to do some spring cleaning and make what I currently have more robust.

Here's something to tide you over.

https://i.ibb.co/FKxgcCT/quest-Bot-Shield.gif

Was trying to untangle some spaghetti and I found this gem. Seems to be some lost disabled code from Maiet. Freaky.

Oh man! You're so cooooool! You gotta apply as dev bro.
btw. teach me how to lunge. :o.o

Just a heads up. I'm starting a packed class schedule, so this project is on low priority for a while.

I left off trying to figure out how to link the bots to the match server so they don't have that DC icon. Luckily, it seems everything I wanted to do at the beginning is already built into the base game. I just have to figure out how they work and rearrange some things.

Props to Amers for pointing me towards a reference.

I've seen this on ragezone. Good luck (: !

Reopened.

Updated main post.

Added:

• Created bot manager (ZBotManager). Responsible for creating/destroying bots, and issuing commands to all bots.
• Bots are now derived from the player (ZBotCharacter). Bots are pretty much of type MyZCharacter (The thing you play as), but with some features removed.
• Added bypass for connection check for bots. I suspect this makes the bot client-sided. Need to find a way to test.
• Added bots to peer list with a sentinel IP of "255.255.255.255" and port 0. Should be useful for making server sided bots in the near future.
• Added death mechanics to bots. Bots stay dead until you respawn them with "/bot spawn".
• Added godmode to bots. "/bot god"
• Bots now contain your name.

To be added:

• Need to create ZNetBot so you can see other player's bots and bots in replays.
• Need to consider bots in replays.
• Need to fix player camera controlling bots.
• Need to fix most ranged weapons not damaging bot.
• Need to fix bots not dying in pits.
• Need to add controllability.

https://i.ibb.co/WWrjC6r/elevator.gif
Here's an elevator with 0 ping.

Updated main post a tiny bit.

Fixed player camera controlling bots. Bots now have their own independent camera. Before, they were facing whatever direction the player was at all times.

Bots now switch to melee upon spawning.

Started fiddling with controlling the bot. It's going hilarious.

https://i.ibb.co/Wkt8kFJ/Broken-Turtle.gif
"/bot turtle" in real time. Blocks are too fast to register as a block.

https://i.ibb.co/z4DzzJH/lol.gif

Cleaned up main post for future me and updated command list, because winter break is over (that was fast) and school is starting up. This project is on low priority again. :(

I last left off on beginning to give the training bot some controllability. I need to find a way to send an action (like pressing shift to block) instead of copying and pasting code for blocking; This should naturally lead into implementing McSic's suggestion of a record/play mechanic where you can record your actions and have the bot replay them.

Ahh i would say make it learn to play. Give it all the keys to the kingdom of course. Show it certain moves and what not and then have it quest and deep learn over and over till it can win a quest by rsing and such till it could stand on its own and then just keep making it learn and improve.

Thanks Amers, that code actually contains just what I need to send actions to the bot.

And thanks for the suggestion Joad13. You are describing reinforcement learning. I will generalize the code to accept inputs from AIs, but it won't be the focus of this project.




I was also thinking about adding an asura mode "/bot asura"

https://i.ibb.co/n3j4qhG/asura.jpg
All your bots copies your actions live, are always stuck inside you, and are offset from one another by 360/(number of bots + 1) degrees. Making you a multi-headed and multi-limbed demon called an Asura from Hindu mythology. Admins will be unstoppable.

Was working on this because I was procrastinating.

Updated main post.

• Fixed bot's block giving you a massive.
• Fixed ranged weapons not doing damage
• Bots use rvectors for directions instead of cameras now.
• Godmode now gives 99999999 Hp and Ap
• Added /bot sf

Safe-fall. When on, bot instantly gets up from the ground.

• Added /bot aim [player name] [delay]

Aims at you by default, but you may specify other players or bots. I was serious about bot battles.

• Added /bot follow [player name]

Bot follows you by default, but you may specify other players or bots. They will follow you over walls and pits.

Wow, so excited for this, Frooples you are doing a great job, this is amazing!

This is really cool man, nice progress

hey. can't believe I'm only just seeing this, this looks awesome!

the complex AI part looks really interesting but I wouldn't even know where to start with training a model based on gunz inputs. There are so many possible combinations with mouse and key movements that I can see it getting complicated very quick haha.

to cut corners for the simple ai, would it be possible to reuse code from quest npcs? i have no idea what the gunz source code looks like though, so maybe looking at code written 20 years ago might not be the easiest thing in the world, let alone making changes to it!

but honestly, it's so nice to see some community projects starting to surface. this is exactly what i come to these forums to see! best of luck with your project and I hope it doesn't hit any walls!

Took a brief look at all of the updates I've missed in this thread recently, and must say it looks great!

Good job & keep up with the hard work, Froop! :)

Thanks for the encouragement fellas!

Yeah, the complex AI is a whole nother animal. It takes a team of seasoned developers to make anything decent (ie AlphaStar on Starcraft II), not to mention the high cost for constantly running the AI + many instances. More accurately, the vast majority of the high cost would come from training the bot, which takes exponential time and resources.

The simple AI is more practical, but will be a whole nother project in of itself.

As for the Gunz quest NPCs. They utilize a super duper simple AI; Path-finding using the A-Star algorithm, and when NPC is in range and "see" the target. Attack.

I'm not using any AI for that "/bot follow" GIF demo I just posted. I just calculated a direction vector based on the player's and bot's position, and then set a velocity to the bot. It seems to be better than using path-finding in this particular case since the bot can follow you up walls and over pits.

I'm hoping to allow people to build their own pseudo AI in-game.
For example doing:
/bot spawn
/bot god
/bot aim Tom
/bot bf forward
/bot counter 180

Would yield a god-moded bot that butterflies towards Tom, and counters with a reverse massive if it gets one.

Edit: Something like this.

can u guys give him a devp rank i never seen good work. i bet he can prob do alot more work into gunz the community gives the right feed back

Reopened

Spring break!

• Upgraded /bot follow, set bot to stop when it gets too close, and tele to you if it gets too far.
• Added /bot anchor [distance]. The distance is in body-widths. The bot teles back when it gets too far from its initial location. By default the distance is 0. /bot tp can re-anchor the bot.
• Started to add recording.

So there is potentially a huge upgrade from my initial plan for the bot if I can implement a custom record/playback mechanic. Hard coding turtling, bf, tbf, etc into the bot is a dumb idea. There are way more players that can do way crazier moves than me, so what if I just let them do it. I can then just stick to making things that replays can't do like /bot anchor or /bot follow.

I'm thinking the bot will have a temporary cache that stores recorded actions. Players can load or record their own actions into the cache then play it. You could also save them permanently into a replay file and trade them! I want to see if I can add an option for the playback to ignore outputting mouse movements so the bot can use /bot aim instead. I also want to see if I can get the bot to playback random replays to simulate combat. This is going to take quite a bit of work, but give a pretty sizeable payoff.

Edit: (This is mostly a note for myself.) I'm going to kill two birds with one stone here. I'm planning on having the bot manager be responsible for recording player inputs, storing them, and sending a copy to the bots. Whereas each bot will receive a copy of the player inputs, store them, and execute them. Since the bots would now be capable of storing and executing player inputs, they can also take and execute inputs from an AI.


Also I'm trying to set up a testing environment to get server-sided bots, but got stuck. Does anyone know of a way to play 2 characters on the same local server? I was able to launch 2 clients and got 2 test characters in the same game room, but they see each other as AE. My MatchAgent is running fine, and I think my NAT is set up correctly? I couldn't find anything useful on RZ.

Testing /bot counter and /bot anchor. Still needs work.

This was my /bot asura test. When the player killed the bot, it would spawn and die every game tick. It's got a lot of factors to consider. I might scrap the idea.

Spring break is over. You know the drill. Project is low priority again.

To oversimplify how a Gunz replay works, a player starts a recording and starts k-styling; these actions are saved as a bunch of commands and its time of execution. There are different types of commands like slashing, flipping, etc... There is also a special command called basic info that records things like position, direction, velocity, etc... along with the current time of course. Well, at least that's my current understanding.

I managed to get the skeleton of the recording mechanic going, although buggy. Player inputs and its relative time are recorded to a cache and distributed to all bots for playback. It currently only records slashes, flips, massives, and gunfire. It does not record basic info like position, direction, velocity, and animations yet (ran outta time).

I would like to use relative positions, directions, and velocities after capturing the basic info. Then I would consider saving/loading the cache as a binary file.

p.s. Is there a way to embed Streamable videos here? Youtube is too invasive for me.

So far I know the [VIDEO] tag support is for Hulu YouTube (Long), YouTube (Short), Vimeo, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Google, facebook & Facebook Shares


Would be really sweet to see this bot being finished eventually : )

This is cool, but now I see why people sit in training room all day.

Updated main post.

- Added relative and absolute playback.
- Added BasicInfo commands.
- Upgraded /bot record and /bot play to be more robust.

Recordings are really finicky. Some commands interfere with each other. Not to mention lost commands during playback and desyncing issues, which I suspect is due to locked semaphores. I gotta fiddle with this spaghetti some more.

How did u not apply for dev yet? xD

What's your guys thoughts if he were able to make a full team of NPC's with a TDM on hard level ONLY
and handing out EXP to the winners? (obviously not the same amount as a real person, but what if an EXP system were created for this, similar to quests I'd say, honestly)

So say if you made a TDM by yourself, the player would only be able to have one NPC on the other team, and 2 with 2, and so forth, until the NPC's get kicked out after a 4v4 of real people have joined. Or just mix people and NPCs like some other games have, they just would get less EXP since it is a computer after all.

Overall, I don't think I've been able to reply to this thread saying how impressive this is, especially incorporating it into a mess of code that I've heard GunZ is built with.

Cheers to you!

Erm, so is there a final version of AI bot that we can fight against? If not, how about launching the AI bot for us to play against, so that the BOT gets trained as there are more play times against real player? Or does the bot can self train better over time? I am really looking forward to fighting the best version of AI bot. 4 AI BOT versus 4 real players. What are the expected timeline of a very good version of AI BOT to be launched into fgunz?

Just so it's clear, this training bot won't have AI anytime soon. Implementing AI is a massive undertaking and deserves it's own discrete project. You can't make a self driving car without building a car first.


Michi's suggestion is a good one and would be simple to implement given the infrastructure is already built, but it won't be built anytime soon.

Reopened (thread got autoclosed after 2 weeks)

MASSIVE update on main post.

Done:

• Fixed playback syncing issue.
• Freshly spawned bots now get a copy of recordings.
• Fixed /bot sf. Bots are now able to be juggled.
• Added pushing bots out of way for /bot follow.
• Fixed crashing when setting a target for /bot follow.
• Bot now spawns in your team.
• Added /bot mimic [is_possessing].
• Added /bot ammo.
• Lowered hp/ap/ammo to 9999999.
• Reworked /bot aim and /bot follow. Can now detect nearest enemy.
• Reworked /bot record and /bot play. Now records/plays mapped key+mouse events.
• Fixed massives not hitting bots.
• Added pitch and yaw to /bot counter.

Todo:

• Bot recording code is too intertwined with MyZCharacter during prototyping. Use overridden functions in rework. Edit: done.
• /bot record needs to constantly record the hero's direction, not just only when an action is sent. Edit: Actions list becomes way too bloated and bot can't kstyle anymore. Gonna ignore this unless really needed.
• Finding the closest enemy currently has time complexity O(n). Use Octrees to reduce to O(log(n)).
• Add /bot norecoil. Edit: done.
• Fix bot gunfire doing no damage.
• Fix lunges not stunning Hero.
• Implement /bot save and /bot load and load items using saved files.
• Make bots server-sided.

I made the big decision to record mapped keys and mouse events instead of the previous Mcommand. This allows physics to affect the bots and makes for a much more interactive human-like playstyle. Additionally the code is far more streamlined for future development, namely AI. The caveat is that the bots are no longer precise in its positioning and can be interrupted by players, terrain, or randomness.

Context: https://freestylersworld.com/showthr...aining-Program


I need to borrow y'alls brains. What do you think is a good way to create an interactive Gunz tutorial?

The bot should eventually be able to record and save recordings, so you can display the key/mouse events ahead of time. Problem is I'm not creative enough to think of a nice layout.



I'm thinking a layout could follow these guidelines:

○ Displays what to press and when to press it.
○ Is intuitive.
○ Does not obscure incoming instructions no matter how much button mashing the recording contains.
○ Sleek and elegantly designed.
○ Non-distracting.

I'm imagining something like these.

Reopened (thread got autoclosed after 2 weeks).

Updated main post.

• Ported training bot over to JetMan's source.
• Fixed bot charinfo not initializing correctly.
• Fixed bots not doing ranged damage.
• Fixed bots shooting blanks.
• Fixed bots holding block.
• Fixed bots not charging massives.
• Fixed bots not switching to reserved weapons.
• Bots now aim dead center.
• Added Unique ID to each bot name.
• Bots can now aim at NPCs .
• Fixed bots not taking ranged damage.
• Fixed bots not getting knockdown by dagger lunges.
• Added save/load/delete recording file system.
• Fixed /bot ammo crashing when no weapons.
• Can now clear recordings by starting and stopping right away.
• Bots now counter randomly if no parameters are set.
• Reworked /bot god.
• Reworked /bot ammo.
• Fixed bot not aiming at player on ground.
• Made saving/loading system more robust.
• Added keystroke simulation system.
• Fixed bots doing unauthorized commands.
• Minor rework to the record/playback system. Bots can now use absolute positioning.
• Added some Easter eggs. ;)

Edit:
Oh right forgot to mention the main feature of this batch of updates: /bot save, /bot load, /bot delete.

Introducing the training bot saving/loading system. It is custom made from scratch to encode your best training bot recordings into a file where you can send it to friends (or enemies). You could record a tutorial for our newcomers, challenge others to beat your personalized fighting style, or leave your buddy something to remember you by.

When you load a recording, the bot will seamlessly equip the necessary weapons & items mid-combat and continue fighting in a wildly different style without missing a beat.



Big thanks to JetMan et al for letting me use his source!

Well done buddy, the glad bot would probably 11-0 me haha he's too op.
Looks like bots can host events now, rip ETs :o.o

If bots can be programmable to help in setting up events (e.g. having them shoot in wall to wall/dodgeball, having them place the mines in sumo brawlers/basketball/circle of mines/whatever other event that needs mines) it would be so cool. Would save so much effort as well as time for both the ETs and the players.

Froop really the MVP with this whole undertaking.

BIG HYPE, this is incredible.
I appreciate it a lot, this was sorely needed for over a decade.

After some more testing...
**** I FEEL LIKE IM 8 AND ITS CHRISTMAS, THANK YOU

Here's my gladiator replay pack, it comes with a shitty triangle, circle, JM, 200 bpm static TBF, spam jump, standing massive, aerial massive, aerial dash massive.

For triangle, circle, and JM to work you need to spawn the bot in the green circle and stand on the shield in the red circle. Even the smallest positioning differences from my initial recording will snowball into a larger desync, but it's what we got. Attachment 18247

For all massives i'd recommend using /aim

I think being able to spawn the bot at a fixed distance would fix the desync issue. If you need any help with anything, Frooples, I can send you my coding resume, best of luck to you <3

Glad you enjoy :)
Love your enthusiasm.

The desyncing is on purpose (Chaos Theory). You are probably using relative playback.
Try absolute playback with "/bot play 0".

Feel free to apply for dev (https://freestylersworld.com/showthr...er-Application)!
We are always looking ;)

This spawns the bot at the same location it was recorded, but the player will still be at a pseudo-random distance from the bot unless you put yourself in an exact position that can be reached consistently, like a corner. It reduces the desync, but still snowballs.

Updated main post.
Server-Sided training bot update! It's finally coming after 2 years!

The next big direction the training bots are taking is customizable and modular AI.
I'm planning on embedding a variant of luaJIT into FGunZ, which would make it possible for all of us to program their own distinctly intelligent AI script. Keep your scripts private to maintain an edge over others, or publicize them for glory. Your choice.

• Added server bot spawning with random cosmetics.
• Added server bot despawning.

love to see it frooples.

Here's some SS from the troll island training room the other day

I also recorded like 5 mins of it but it's prolly not kosher to upload that

It would be neat for someone to take anothers recording and place it in their own bot replay folder to practice against another players bot in your own room rather than fighting yourself. Example, me recording myself, at which im not that good anyways, wouldn't be... helpful? Just a thought that crossed my mind when i was trying it out.

Yep, you can already do that.
Ask them to send you the .fgb file over Discord or something and place it in your BotReplay folder.
