Robots

[MR.M]

JLV should make the Robots faster.....

[Photomorti]

there is a way to "learn" the ai to drive faster laps , dunno how to do it but search for it

I'd really like a tutorial to make robots. I enjoy offline racing, there people know how to hold their lines and don't turn suddenly against you to take you down

Here's a little explanation by jlv.

It they don't take off on the start you might have waited too long in the gate.

Once you have some lines in, add
--learn --practice --warp --nosound
to the command line args and set up a three lap race with one bot. Let it run for a while to decide which lines it likes. Sometimes running more than one bot will help, but that can slow things down since they get in each other's way.

The other important thing is to mark the gates that the AI shouldn't switch lines at. You don't want them to switch over jumps or whoops, so for those gates add 100000 to them and the bots will not switch there. Ideally you want them to switch in smooth straight areas, but you also want them to have at least one switching opportunity per straightaway. As an example, here are the Vegas SX gates. Pretty much only switches on corner entry.
