Is there a realtime shooting bot available? I've tried AIBOT and it doesn't seem to fire at anything..

You should configure the ini properly then.
Bjorn's ai-bot is working fine in Desert Storm...

Then you haven't configured it correctly or used an age-old version.

Bjorn's aibot is the only REAL shooting AI bot around.

OK, AIBOT needed to set the aispawn from -1 to a a number.

Next question though, why are the bots SO LAGGY?

Bots in general or are you talking only about the aibot(s) ?
How much bots do you have running in your zone before they go "laggy"?

If you have more then 3 spawned then you should make use of the "botip" in your server.ini (set it to the IP of the computer running the bots). This prevent the server from cutting down on the connection to the bots because of the server's single client bandwith limitation.

ALL of the AIbots are laggy, even the first one, when they are !STARTED and then !FOLLOWED username.

Any other shooting bots like this?

Have you even read my posts ?

You only need to PM !start to the AIBot to start it, not !follow. Read the readme.txt inside the package.

I'm using Continuum .39 and ASSS 1.43, there are no ini files.

If I only do !start the bot enters and blinks away like it lagged out get stuck at A11. the !follow command seems to initiate the game play of the bot, but it just lags around at a distance retardedly trying to look for me. the !follow command afterwards does NOT make the bot stay on top of me, like I'm sure your thinking, but does seem to make it work. The bot even lags right through walls. It's terrible.

I want bots smooth like Bjorn's Project Subspace game.

Are the bots in your VIP.txt and sysop.txt ?

Those files do not exist with ASSS

Maybe there is a conflict then?

I know in subgame, the bot has to be on those txt's just to work. Maybe because it isn't on the txt's, it's all laggy.

You can just add the bot as sysop in your staff.conf. Or, you COULD create your own custom bot group, but there's probably not any real point.

That's to prevent SubGame for kicking them for security violation.
SubGame was made very hostile to none-continuum clients, VIE ones included, and is hyperactive on security.

try being in spec, use !start, the bot will just sit there doing nothing fly to it on a diffent freq and kill it, thats what i do than it works fine, if i start them when in a ship i wave to warp them to a point to kill them.

i find the bots have trouble with 1 tile thick walls, i use
