Experimental
• /bot teach (Not Started)
○ Displays keyboard overlay and shows incoming keystrokes from recording cache and direction bot is facing.
• /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.
Spoiler!
1. Set up working environment.
Jur13n repack. Built with VS2019
2. Set up testing environment.
Added smoke grenade effects when dashing for testing purposes.
Here's the same thing with nades for fun.
3. Grab and process chat data.
Put in some dummy commands to help test bot.
4. Spawn a controllable character.
Bot copies your equips and bodily features. Each person can spawn one bot.
Making some progress, but it's not controllable yet.
Was thinking of teleporting bot to you if it already exists. Now you simply get a warning message.
64 bots. No lag on client side, but my server had a ~500 ms delay.
Client-Sided bots with death mechanics.
Gave all bots their own independent camera. The training bot is starting to become practical.
5. Edit character object to be controlled by commands and replays.
Pet bots.
Started to add recording. Still has a lot of syncing issues. This is an example of absolute playback.
Here's an example of simulated combat using relative playback.
Training bots are now server-sided.
6. Full scale test
7. Peer review
8. Alpha/Beta test<----- I am here.
9. Release

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".
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.
