file pathway: ...\mekhq-0.1.23 & MP4.0a\mmconf Unfortunately the original author of Princess didn't write any docs for her. Here's what I've been able to piece together, though. fall_shame - How much Princess wants to avoid failing a Piloting roll. Higher values maker her more conservative. blind_optimism - Supposed to be used for 'assuming' the enemy will move away, but it doesn't seem to be implemented. enemy_underestimation - Not actually used, near as I can tell. foolish_bravery - Affects how much she'll worry about taking damage. Higher makes her more willing to take damage in order to do damage. hyper_aggression - How much does she want to close with the enemy. Closer to 1.0 is more aggressive while closer to 0.0 is less. She'll still want to close, but not as quickly. herd_mentality - Affects how close she wants to stay to her allies. Higher means she'll stick closer. self_preservation - When Crippled or ordered to flee, this determines how quickly she'll move toward her home edge. home_edge - Which edge is home. 0 = North 1 = South 2 = West 3 = East The ranges are actually pretty open-ended code wise. As for what the practical limits are, that's going to have to be an exercise in experimentation. However, I'd generally stay within the same order of magnitude.
bot fix when restarting a saved game or when a bot is stuck: /help = lists all commands (prefacing /help with a command will explain function) /who = list of all players (including bots) /kick # = kick # according to /who list /replacePlayer [name of player/bot] = replaces actor with Testbot /replacePlayer -brincess [name of player/bot] = replaces actor with stock Princess settings example: For the name DieronRegulars the command /replacePlayer DieronRegulars will activate a TestBot /replacePlayer -brincess DieronRegulars will activate a Princess bot
6 vs 6 Bot Testrun (Princess vs Princess) Total Rounds: 57 Memory Allocated: 2048 MB CPU Usage: ~60% (Core 2 Duo 3.16/3.17 Ghz, 8 GB of RAM) Average Movement Turn Time for Bots: under 20 secs Total Crashes: 1 (Princess2 "disconnected"); fixed with "/replacePlayer -brincess <player name>" command Modified Bot Parameters: fall_shame=20.0 blind_optimism=1.2 enemy_underestimation=.5 foolish_bravery=1.5 hyper_aggression=0.02 herd_mentality=0.10 self_preservation=30.0 home_edge=0 Test notes: Ran test on Canyon map again. After AI changes, bots now deployed much closer together; worked more effectively as a team. No suicides from blindly running off cliffs and heavily damaged mechs retreated like they are suppose to. Bots using mechs with jump jets are far more effective at moving through rough terrain and can navigate cliffs easily. Sprint is still broken; bot appears to "panick" when heavily damaged and uses it too much: recommend discontinuing use. Leaping and Adv. Backward Movement appear to work correctly now. More testing needed.
