Ever since i got my grubby little hands on RO i've wanted to make a mutator that prevents bots from choosing a tank role, since they use tanks so horribly they only ruin it for human players.
Fixing the bots so they can use the tanks well would be a monumental task, one that could take many months, but just preventing them from using tanks could be a doable, and usefull patchjob both for online and offline players alike.
Well, i've cracked the code open and had a good long hard look at it, but im sad to say that this is well above my skill level, for me to build this mutator, i need to learn alot more about coding, and it will take time.
So, im giving the ball up to anyone interested in running with it, i'll start reading and learning in case nobody wants to do this mutie, but if anyone wants to make it, please do! and any code suggestions is very welcome too!
What you need is in ROengine/ROteamGame, in here, bots are told to select a random role, the code is about mid-way through the .uc file.
Somehow, the mutator must do away with this, and specify which roles are avalible to the bots, or perhabs destroy any bots who select a tanker role (but that would get messy in more ways than one..).
I have no idea how to get started on it, my past experiance is with making some simple weapon mutators for UT/UT200x, this is new territory for me.
Well, i hope someone wants to either make this thing, or wants to help with it.. in any event, i think this mutie would proove a standard on most servers if its made!
