Natural Selection For Half-Life Overhauled

Posted by simoniker on Friday August 1, 2003 @12:41AM from the servers-getting-naturally-selected dept.

Entropius writes "Natural Selection, a free Half-Life mod that contains elements of both traditional first-person shooters and real-time strategy games, has just gotten a complete overhaul with the release of version 2.0. In a nutshell, it combines the best elements of StarCraft and Counter-Strike. NS 2.0 adds new alien abilities, commander interface changes, changes to the resource model, four new maps, and more flexibility in alien evolutions. It's a whole new game now, and a blast to play... one of the most innovative new mods in a long time. The mirrors are straining to keep up, but here's a list of download links via readyroom.org."

Open-source bot for Natural Selection by clamatius · 2003-08-01 04:56 · Score: 5, Interesting

A little project I've been working on in my spare time is a bot for this game. It's called WhichBot.
Features include a bunch of fancy AI stuff (dynamic navigation, wall-climbing support, pack-based strategies, etc), Linux support and open-source code on Sourceforge.
You can find it at whichbot.com.

Important note: we didn't have access to the NS 2.0 server before release, so the current bot version DOES NOT support NS 2.0. We hope to have a compatible bot version up ASAP.
