6. Bot AI and Matchmaker Bots have been a hassle in Warsow so far. When you set their skill to max, the hit almost every shot. But they don't move like normal players, don't time items and so on. This is history. Dev coder torbenh gave a huge impact to the bot code and improved them a lot. The bots time RA, MH, Quad and Warshell, bunnyhop and more (I dunno if they use cg_oldmovement 0|1). See for yourself:
The matchmaker is explained quickly but nevertheless very useful. You register with an email and password to make an account (independent from warsow.net forum accounts!). Will says about the matchmaker: Select a gametype, press start and it finds you people to play with, then finds all of you a server to play on where you all have decent pings. The matchmaker is an useful alternative to the IRC-searching.
Warsow 0.4 will be released on Saturday, 19th of January 2008 at 8pm CET (GMT/UTC+1) in #warsow and on the download page. Have fun with the new version which includes an installer for Windows users and a zip-file like you are used to. Post your WarsowTV IPs on warsownews.net so everyone can enjoy the new features not only as a player.
