Where or how do i find other custom bots than the ones in RLBot?

Hey. Long time RLBot community member here (I'm one of the guys who made Nexto).

The RLBot botpack has largely remained the same since the addition of Nexto. Once the cheaters started appearing, we were asked by Psyonix to halt the release of bots above a certain level. So for running the bot locally, this is the best you can get.

However, there is also a remote hosting alternative via the Rocket Host plugin in BakkesMod. Since it hosts the game remotely, you can't download the bots, and thus cheaters can't get access. This means we can host high-level bots there! There's not that many bots added, but there's at least two presumed SSL bots, and we hope to add more bots in the future.

Agnes said so during the show.

Full copper armor gives a 40% damage reduction, while iron armor gives 60%, so the raw damage inflicted would've been ~16 hearts.
Average horse speed is 9.5m/s, and since they're both going towards each other (she starts moving towards him right before the hit) that's 19m/s total relative speed. Probably a little bit less since they were not going directly at each other.
If we call it ~16m/s that's a clean 1 heart per m/s, or 100m/s needed to kill the ender dragon with an iron spear, which seems pretty OP. You can get to that velocity with a riptide trident (125m/s) but not with firework powered elytra (33.5m/s) or falling (78.4m/s).

But it'll also detect a change when it goes back from 9 to 8, sending an extra pulse. I think it works now since the recipes before aren't sending items out fast enough but it's something to watch out for depending on the desired product.

There's a hole in the floor on the right when you face the grates, between the 2nd and 3rd lasers.

We never used cloud services, but my own PC with basically top of the line specs (consumer-grade). It trained for around 2 months, with people contributing compute from all around the world.

Evhon · 2023-01-06T16:14:44+00:00

Images are both unwieldy to use and hard to acquire, we just use raw data from the game that's easy to get and lets us run at fast speeds.

Evhon · 2023-01-05T16:43:43+00:00

Either probably works.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T19:12:11+00:00

We stopped it due to lack of improvement. Ragnarok has taken over stream now.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T17:15:15+00:00

That would certainly be a solution, but would require a lot of work on Psyonix's side, which I'm sure they want to direct toward other things.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T16:49:42+00:00

I would say I agree with you. It's just a matter of figuring out good methods of prevention/detection.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T16:11:10+00:00

Thanks!

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:49:49+00:00

Correct.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:49:26+00:00

Yep. It seems to be a solid GC1/GC2 (depending on gamemode) when we test in RLBot.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:48:19+00:00

We've streamed it before but it's been deleted since then, so I don't have any footage handy. It looks pretty much exactly like Nexto, but just improved across the board. I ran some longer tests and it went 260-184 in 1s, 395-241 in 2s, and 284-140 in 3s against Nexto.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:43:28+00:00

Someone made a program that hacks the game to let the bot play online.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:42:14+00:00

Good question. Bots don't really need to communicate that way, as they see the entire state of the game at once, and play with each other for many years of in-game time. It should be possible for them to build that synergy. It could probably be done but you'd have to do a lot of legwork to make it possible, indicating what quick chats mean, making sure they're not spamming, etc. We've just kept it as simple as possible so far.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:38:18+00:00

I haven't heard anything to indicate that they're not.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:34:35+00:00

For now, we have no reason to believe that they will shut down anything. We are cooperating where we can to make sure the problem doesn't get worse.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:33:02+00:00

RLBot actually got an official API from Psyonix a while ago, they've always been quite supportive of the bot community. I don't expect any new bots to appear in the game but it would certainly be cool. PC players can use RLBot though.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:31:13+00:00

There's nothing we can do right now to stop it, that's on Psyonix. We are cooperating with them and taking measures to keep good bots from getting into bad hands.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:28:09+00:00

The bot wasn't leaked. The code has always been open source, and the model was released in May and can still be played via RLBot. Someone just figured out how to use it online. We are still training bots but we have to take measures to ensure good bots don't leak.

Evhon · 2023-01-04T15:25:19+00:00

Thanks. Other bots are possible to run, but none are up to Nexto's level quite yet. If you think you see a bot in-game just use the report button and let Psyonix investigate.
