big image, likely totally fake? but kind of cool if true--dude left 16 bots running in quake 3 for 4 years and they...stopped fighting each other

There's enough detail in there that it might be true, but come on, who leaves a server on for four years and forgets about it?

yeah I don't believe any of that for one second. it even reads like fiction.

Its got a punchline and everything. Still a nice story tho.
― Random .mdb Memories (NotEnough), Monday, 1 July 2013 21:17 (ten years ago) link
They do use genetic algorithms, though. You can read more here:
http://www.kbs.twi.tudelft.nl/docs/MSc/2001/Waveren_Jean-Paul_van/thesis.pdf
in sections 3 and 9. There's more on neural networks for bots in Quake 3 here:
http://www.ieee-cig.org/cig-2009/Proceedings/proceedings/papers/cig2009_041e.pdf
Maybe someone can email one of the above authors and get an expert weigh in as to the plausibility of the story (fishy as it sounds!).
― bamcquern, Monday, 1 July 2013 22:42 (ten years ago) link
sounds like the bots just ran out of memory
― 乒乓, Monday, 1 July 2013 23:13 (ten years ago) link
I thought about that, too, although the op describes the large files as logs rather than the AI routines themselves, and I don't know how pared down (or not) the genetic algorithms are or must be. It's not worth really intensely educating myself about Quake 3's bots' GA because the reasons behind the bots' behavior in the op, if not made up, is certainly going to be a banal one.
― bamcquern, Monday, 1 July 2013 23:55 (ten years ago) link
If they used a genetic algorithm and the fitness function output was heavily weighted with number of deaths, this makes sense no?
― Sufjan Grafton, Tuesday, 2 July 2013 01:27 (ten years ago) link
the algos that made it were the ones that had 0 deaths?
― BIG HOOS aka the denigrated boogeyman (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Tuesday, 2 July 2013 05:16 (ten years ago) link
Maybe the algos were set to maximize game-related lols come 2013
