Long time follower of teksyndicate, and razetheworld. So I thought its about time to make a account and post and browse around more indept.

But I'll get to the point of this thread.

We the GoldenEye: Source team have been working tiredlessly for over 6 years hopeing to bring a classic and faithful reabtation of the N64 GE007 game to the PC world. I'm here to announce that we are just weeks from our next release, version 4.2.

 

We've been working and talking very closly with the community to build a game that is of course faithful to the original, but is also a modern fun game. We beleive we've hit the perfect balance here. 

 

With this release we're adding full fledged multiplay bots. Whilst the Half-Life 2 AI system is quite robust, it is also hard coded and VERY cumbersome. This led to an easy decision to link our existing Python system for game modes and extend it to the existing Half-Life 2 AI framework. The result is completely customizable AI. This is not just function calls; you can define Schedules, Tasks, and Conditions and control how the underlying HL2 AI uses them; Allowing you to create a completely Python driven NPC if you choose. The bots can be fully customized by coders in Python.

Bots in GoldenEye: Source are are also tailored to suit each individual game mode so that LTK (Licence to Kill) and MWGG (Man With The Golden Gun) bots behave quite differently from Deathmatch bots. Prioritizing different objectives, targets and actions based on the mode they are playing. As a result, our Bots are virtually indistinguishable from actual players of a variety of different skill levels and play styles.


They do not cheat. Unlike many other games where the AI have their very own set of limits to either nerf or buff them, our bots obey the same constraints and rules that normal players are limited by. They don’t have perfect lock-on accuracy, they can run out of ammo and have to reload just like players do, and they won’t “see” you coming if the radar is turned off and you are sneaking up on them.

 

Bots are just one of the dozens of enhancments we've made to this release alone. If you've never tried out our game, I ask you download and give it a try. It's completly free, you don't even have to own a HL2 game to play. Simply download the Source SDK 2007 in the tools tab of Steam and then install our game, and your ready to play.

 

The team and I would be estatic if you take a break and look over our game and if you really want to play now, download the current version:

Or simply wait just till JULY 20th and download the new version. 

 

Please don't take this as a thoughtless advertisment. We are here to build a game for the classic GE007 lovers, as that is what we are. 

Feel free to ask any question and voice your oppinion, we beg for it. 

 

Thank you all, 

 

Team GoldenEye: Source

Wonder if our GoldenEye Source server is still active. Remember how we had an epic bloodbath, old members? Good times :P

3

Downloading now. It's awesome to have some modders on the site and it's especially cool to have someone from the GoldenEye: Source team here, hanging out with us. I think most of us are into the GoldenEye: Source here at Tek Syndicate. 

Let's plan a game night and get a ton of people playing. So, quick poll... What day of the week is best for everyone? I prefer Thursday. 

4

Should be interesting

5

That would effectively fall into tomorrow (Friday) in NZ. Alothough the time when it'll start is now a question.

6

Thursday during the day is good for me. Work at night. 

Valve/Steam has broke the server browser recently, so cannot search for servers as of now. Hopefully they will fix soon, but really hurting us. We say 'release' and they break something. Every release they've borked a part of it. 

But a big game night sounds amazing. Will be sure to post on Forum/FB/Twitter/Steam Group and all I can to get some tek word out there. We need this HARDCORE community to flourish...no, over take the world. 

7

YES! lol... 

How about Sunday night... Not this one... but next week?

8

next sunday would be a good night

9

I'm in for next Sunday night after 9pm EST.

10

hmm thursday or sunday I might be able to

11

Sunday sounds good.

12

I think sunday night is winning. If everyone is good, I'll announce it on The Tek... It will have to be the 15th for me. Let's see how many people we can get... Also, Major, do you want to run the game? Do we need a server?

13

I have two servers, so should be good on that front(12 and 14 man).

14

I'll see if I can make it. I might not be able to due to work. It depends on whether or not I have work Monday morning and how late we're going to be playing Sunday night.

15

If I can make it, I'm definately in. I'm pretty terrible at it, though.

16

fuck yeah! i love GE:S.... remember when nate was running the rtw server?

count me in for the game :)

17

Sorry to neckro bump this.

 

But I'm sad to inform that we're delaying our release do to Valve not being able to fix mods server browsers. They broke the ingame and Steam server browser WEEKS ago, and still haven't been able to fix it. So people cant find servers, and what is the point of releasing if people can't play with people. 

Seems game night didn't work out haha. But I was out of town for birthday, camping and rafting so was busy.

Hey, any update yet as to whether things are back up and running?  Let us know when so we can get a game night going (for real this time, lol).
