JumpBOT Changelog (Latest: Beta 0.9.9)

[AI]

Yeah, his server's running 0.6.29, which is outdated by a bit more than a year by now.

[Mac-]

How do I make the jumpbot recordings local only? I don't want the files from jump academy. I spent so many hours re-recording every single map how I want them to look because I'm fussy, and now there's recordings all over the place

[AI]

I'll add a cvar to toggle that in the next version, but it may take a while before release because of the language translations being added.

Eventually I'll make it possible to upload recordings and share it with other servers who can then subscribe to sets of recordings.

[AI]

Version 0.9.4 has been released, which patches a team change exploit following playback.

[AI]

Version 0.9.6 has been released, which patches a bug where the player fails to join spectator for showme (caused by the Smissmas update).

[AI]

Version 0.9.7 has been released and includes the following changes:

- Added medic calling for quickfix jumping with the soldier and demoman bots (set jb_allow_medic 0 to disable)

- Added indicators for when the bot is in use (transparent) and active (spinning)

[AI]

The beta branch of the plugin has reached end-of-life status and will no longer receive updates.  The repository will also soon stop serving recordings to older versions of this plugin due to compatibility. Therefore, upgrading is mandatory for continued use.

A big thank you to all server communities that have participated in the closed-beta testing.  Please note that Updater will not receive the public version.  You must delete the old plugin before downloading the new one to avoid having two conflicting version of the plugin running.

Migration instructions will be provided upon the plugin's public release for converting any locally-made recordings into an updated file format.

[John]

congrats jumpbot on exiting beta!!!

How long will converting demos take? Because I have thousands

[AI]

It shouldn't take too long.  The only thing new about the file format is that it has a metadata header, which includes an actual name for the author.  But this means it'll have to fetch the author's name associated with each recording's stored Steam ID from the Steam community API.  I'll make the process to convert them automated.
