Hello, had an idea but lack the talent for it, could someone make a taunt bot please? Brief: An in game button that starts and stops a bot that periodically broadcasts a silly message/taunt. A tab in settings to add/remove specific taunts and configure message delay. Taunts should probably include; You're not very good at this are you? Have you attacked yet? My spies report imminent victory! Is that your base? lol! What are you waiting for? Your strategy is bad and you should feel bad! What is this, a base for ants? Beg for mercy and I may let you live another 30 seconds. Aint no party like a nuke party. You were too slow! You casual, me pr0. This is too easy, please try harder! --------------------------
It's possible to make a mod like this. It could react randomly, to a timer, when you've built something (like a nuke launcher, although doing so would leak info), or when you've destroyed something (destroying a bot factory could say something like "no bots for you", destroying mex could say "your metal tastes delicious", etc). There may be other alerts you want to attach a taunt to. Seeing an enemy commander will create an alert, so you can say "I can see you". Both parties will need to have the mod installed to be able to hear each others taunts. To make the mod, someone could read the source of the taunt mod (to load and play audio) and alerts manager (to determine when an alert is fired to play the audio). Settings is implemented easily with use of the settings manager mod. You can view the source of the taunt mod and alerts manager (any mod for that matter), if no one wants to make the mod for you it would be doable to learn yourself if you are persistent.
Yeah, we need something like Tribes 2's traunt. "SHAZBOT!" More importantly, something like Galactic Battlegrounds' voice clip system works too, where, in the lobby(or in PA, the game?), you type in a number, and everyone's games plays the sound clip relating to that number.
This sounds, like an extended "GG Button" mod. You type GG, the game plays GG for everyone. You steal ask for permission and cite that mod, and add multiple text triggers, multiple sound effects, and multiple actual audio clips added like the gg audio clip. Release that. For prosperity's sake, don't actually add GG to it, so people download 2, unless they conflict, which I doubt they will.
The Auto GG Button mod is actually just a stripped down version of the Age of Empires Taunt Mod with less features and slightly different logic.
I should probably point out that they should be text taunts only, purely because I want all players to appreciate the love I give them over chat. I would rather that, than having my barracking attempts being dependent on having a specific mod installed. Moar! That was left handed!
but they already work as text taunts. Adding audio doesn't remove them, it texts, but also adds a sound.
Jut wanted to be sure it was clear they were intended to be text taunts. Automatic text taunts, gotta work my EAPMs bro!
Why not try the Taunt Mod that brings in the 42 AoE-taunts? Nothing better than shouting out: "GOLD PLEASE" or "RAIDING PARTY".
Er... Roflmao wait... no, not me! Why me? The poor benighted soul that may be playing against me should be on the receiving end of my automatic insult-a-bot!
I think he wants them linked to events perhaps? Like 100 units destroyed automatically types taunts to the owner of the units you destroyed.
