Topic : Sorry About The Updates
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 03/08/99 Time : @455

I'm sorry I haven't updated the site in a few days because I've been busy playing Action Half-Life.  I've added some new missions to the mission scripts section.  I've also added a mailing list section of the site.  I'm currently looking for a java script mouse on script for the site so when the mouse goes over a link it changes into another image.  If anyone can send me one, please e-mail it to me.

Cheers

I've added 1 new mission and updated versions of UTA and Drugman.  You can now join my mailing list below which will tell you when the site updates, when there's new missions etc.  BTW Action Half-Life rocks!  Anyway, see you all tommorow.

Topic : Matrix Competition And New Missions
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 30/07/99 Time : @480

I've added 4 new missions in the mission scripts area.  I've also added a temporary Matrix section to the site which will give you information on the competition so if you haven't seen the move so you can still enter.  I've had one mission so far, but it's only been 1 day.  Action Half-Life was released last night, and looks awesome!  Unfortunately I downloaded it and the file didn't work, so I'll have to re-download it again later on.  Can anyone e-mail me the maps named dirt and facility for Action Quake 2?  I'd especially like to have the facility one because I can't get them from the Map Depot and the Mapzone isn't accessible right now.  Also, can anyone tell me some good maps/mods for use in Half-Life for 1 V 1 games?  I have a pc to pc network and I'd like to try out some new mods/maps over it in Half-Life.

Cheers

Topic : 7 New Route Files
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 29/07/99 Time : @447

I've added another mission to the site and 7 new route files.  David (The author of the Action Quake 2 Warehouse) is going to help me out with this site by doing reviews, and he'll be taking over the route files section.  It will probably be sometime over the weekend when he starts updating the site.  I need some help from all of you out there.  Could any of you tell me how to play Quake 2 2 player (The mod) with the second player using a Microsoft sidewinder game pad.  Please e-mail me.  If you don't know how to do that could anyone please tell me the command to turn off the mouse COMPLETELY in Quake 2.  I've also setup a competition.  The Matrix is one of my favorite films of all time so if you haven't saw it yet, go see it NOW!  The competition is to see who can make the best Matrix mission for CGF.  It can take place on any map, but if it's on a map which has no route file on this site yet please send me the route file with the mission.  I'll give everyone until September the 1st (About 1 month) to get their missions in.  Also, don't name the mission that you're making "Matrix" or "The Matrix" because then there will be too many missions which will have the same name.  The same goes for the name/names of the mission file (The .cgf file).

P.S Action Half-Life is released tonight!

Cheers

Topic : New Route Files And A New Map
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 28/07/99 Time : @521

If you head over to the route files section there's 5 new route files.  There's also one new mission for the city map.  I'd like to say that a author of another CGF site is joining forces with me to help out with this site, and in my opinion his site is the best competition I have.  He will do some reviews of missions for me and he'll be taking over the route files section.  I've fixed all of the links on the urban mission scripts page now, I'm sorry about that.  I didn't put the http:// before the link files.  Anyway, I'll tell you the person who's going to help me out with the site tomorrow. 

Cheers

Topic : The Site Is Now Hosted At Bot Epidemic
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 27/07/99 Time : @757

Yeah, that's right, the site is now hosted by the same people who host the actual CGF site.  I've also changed some things around the site and I've made a new button as well.  I've put a lot of work into the downloads section so you get a choice of an installation file or a .zip file.  Also, there's now a guide on how to make your own routes for the CGF bot on the route files page, and a ready made Team Jungle route.  The new address for the site is http://www.botepidemic.com/cgf_resource_site but the old address which is http://surf.to/cgf_resource_site still works as well.  I've also changed my main e-mail address to maniacuk@telefragged.com but the old one will still work.   I'd like to thank the great people who have helped me out with the hosting, Ze0, Slade etc.  There are many new missions on the mission scripts page for download now, so go check it out.  I'd also like you all to go through all of the pages on the site now, because I've added a lot more to them.  Now you can also post your messages on my forum to tell me what you think, and take part in the voting poll.  If you find any links broken, please e-mail me and I'll fix it straight away.

Cheers

Topic : New Forum
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 24/07/99 Time : @539

Great news!  My site has been mentioned on the Action Quake 2 site in the news update.  Go and check it out here.  Also, I've now added a forum to the site which can be accessed by the new button on the left hand side of each page of the site.  I'm still sorting out the downloads so you can download a .zip file or an installation file so you get a choice, so that should be done by tomorrow because it's taking me a while and I go out Saturday's a lot and Saturday nights, so I'll finish it off tomorrow.  There's a guy who's Brazilian who has made a CGF site, but he seems to think he's the only foreign guy on the net (Only joking m8).  I'm English and I'm only 14, so I don't want people saying "I'm only 14 and want people to visit my site, please help me".  I'll post a link if I think it's worthy or not, that's the way it is like all other sites.  Also, I need someone to make an animated button for the site with the words CGF : Resource Site on it.  You'll get full credit for doing it of course.  If you make an animated button for the site, please send me an animated version and a static version through e-mail to Maniac@masterquaker.freeserve.co.uk   

Cheers

Topic : The Site Has Changed
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 23/07/99 Time : @682

I could post another 5 missions today, but I'm not going too.  They will be posted soon.  I'm changing the way mission files are downloaded on the site, you will have a choice of a .zip file or an installation program like there is now.  Also, each .bat file will have the map in front so you know which map it's for, so if you're going to play urban streets the launch file will be named urban_streets.  I've also changed some more stuff on the site so it now looks better.  There are now borders and a new picture in the java applet in the top right of this page.  I may have the new files done for tomorrow, but more realistically Sunday because I've broken up from school for 6 weeks now, so it's party time!

IMPORTANT : Is there anyone out there who would be so kind as to write a mission script making tutorial that I could post on the site (With screenshots)?  You'll get full credit of course.  This would help many people because I've had so many e-mails about the subject.  By the way, all of you who think that it's anything to do with coding your wrong, it's just a text file saved in a different format.

Cheers

Topic : A New Review

I've reviewed City Strike now, will someone please review some missions for me?  Go here for more information.  Your name and e-mail address is put on the site, so you get full credit.  Please read the IMPORTANT message below, as I really need help.  Anyway, I break up from school tomorrow so expect some more reviews soon, but I do go out a lot and that's why I've asked all of you to help me out by reviewing missions.

There's 6 more missions to be downloaded on the Mission Scripts page.  There's also a new review been done by Ivory Knight, a good friend of mine.  Thanks m8!  I've also got a new image for the index page of the site, which looks better than my main image because of the same image in the Java applet above (It used to be).  If anyone things that they can do better and make some great images for the site with the words CGF : Resource Site on it, please feel free to go ahead and make it, and then e-mail it to me, and if it's good enough I'll use it on the site.  Also, I've noticed that the site's reached 1000 hits, so thanks to everyone out there who visits this site regularly, bookmark it now with Ctrl + D!  Please read the IMPORTANT message below, as I really need help.

Topic : New Missions For The City Map
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 20/07/99 Time : @738

I've uploaded 2 new missions for the City map on the Mission Scripts page, and I've also changed the way the missions are set out for easier download.  I don't really want to make any "big" changes to the site right now, but if I do, it'll be when I move the site to Bot Epidemic.  I've also added a CGF Launcher with the links to the files on the CGF Launchers page, is there any competition for Ross Norton's piece launcher out there?

Topic : Removal Of Old News And New Pages To The Site
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 19/07/99 Time : @716

As you can see, I've removed the old news from this page which can be seen here.  I've just this second received some more missions for upload, and I'm going to get some more later on tonight, off one of my friends, 38 special.  This is the first update I've done without posting any new missions so I hope your not disappointed, but there'll be some more tomorrow.  I need people to review the unreviewed missions on the mission scripts page, so if you want to help me out by doing this, use this file as a template and change it by putting in your e-mail, your score out of 10 etc. and then e-mail it to me and I'll post it on the site!  There are now 2 new buttons down the left hand side if every page of the site, submit your review, and submit your mission which should help me and you out a bit.

Cheers

Topic : New Reviews And Missions
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 18/07/99 Time : @869

Go to the missions scripts section now for 3 new reviews.  The site is nearly hosted now, so fingers crossed, it should be the middle of the week.  There's a new version of CGF available that's compatible with the city map, so look out for some new missions for the city map soon.  Tails has reviewed Face Off for me, and I've reviewed Urban Streets and Teamplay.  Head over to the Miscellaneous section for the new version of the bot.  There's also 3 new missions available for the Urban map.

Cheers

Topic : MORE New Missions
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 16/07/99 Time : @746

Go to the missions scripts section now for 2 new missions!  I will be reviewing a lot of the unreviewed missions over the weekend, because if I do it then, it'll give me more time to take screenshots etc.  I will also be doing a review of how the bots play on the urban map using the included route file that comes with CGF 0.77 beta.  Look out for that over at the route files section of the site.   Also, if all goes well, the CGF : Resource Site should be hosted by the end of the weekend by Bot Epidemic

P.S I almost forgot, the mission named "Drug Lords" is very unstable but looks excellent.  You have been warned.

Cheers

Topic : New Missions And Reviews!
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 14/07/99 Time : @735

Head over to the mission scripts section for 2 new missions complete with reviews!  I will be adding to the reviews shortly... Anyway, I'm currently getting the site hosted at Bot Epidemic, so thanks Ze0!  Also, I'm currently recruiting 2 of my friends (1 of them I used to play in a clan named RA with) to help me out with reviewing stuff and updating the site, so look out for there reviews soon!  I think I'm going to add a few more pages to the site on my next update, for submitting your own mission scripts and a review area.  Look out for these new things soon.  Also, I've decided that all of the scripts that are download from here will be in installshield form, including the 2 new missions above, with shortcuts added to the start bar so you can launch your missions from there!

Cheers

Topic : Thanks HitmanDaz And Release Of CGF 0.77 Beta
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 08/07/99 Time : @384

I'd like to thank HitmanDaz because I've used his SAS model all over the site for artwork, and for giving the Quake 2 community a great model!  BTW good luck on the Dungeon Keeper 2 sales, I may buy it.   If you haven't heard, CGF 0.77 beta is now available for download and is awesome!   These bots have excellent routes, and that plays a part in their actions, which is excellent.  They even scout the area!  Head over to the miscellaneous section to grab a copy!

Cheers

Topic: CGF : Resource Site Opens!
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 08/07/99 Time : @335

Would everyone please read yesterdays news below if you haven't already.  I'd like to thank the author of the SAS model for Action Quake, because obviously I've used his work a lot.   I will be changing the look of some of the things around here soon, so keep your eyes peeled.  I'd like to thank the author of CGF, William Van Der Sterren who made the bot, and CGF all together.  I'd also like to mention that this site is unofficial at the moment, but there isn't a official resource site as yet so he may pick this site to be it, because I don't know of any other CGF sites.  If you know of any please e-mail me.  I've added a picture of the week section which will contain a picture of CGF in action.  I'd like all of you to get taking screenshots and sending them in to me so I can use it as picture of the day, credit will be given.

P.S Remember, I need people that can help me out with the site (Updating and more importantly reviewing the missions, how the bots play on each map etc.)  Please e-mail me if you have any questions and read below for more information.

Cheers

Maniac

Topic: CGF : Resource Site Opens!
Updated by : Maniac
Date : 06/07/99 Time : @651

The CGF : Resource Site has opened!  This site will contain in the near future when the bot is released, everything you'll need (Mission Scripts, models etc.) to make your gaming experience with the Computer Generated Forces bot an excellent experience.  If you have any questions on the bot (BTW if you didn't know, CGF is an Action Quake 2 bot), any general questions, or want to congratulate me on my website design or anything I've done at all just drop me an e-mail.   I'd like to thank William Van Der Sterren for all of his help (After all, he is the other of CGF, and I've chatted with him quite a bit).  If ANYONE would like to help me run this site, with reviews of the scripts, maps, updating the site etc. please e-mail me.  You'll need some Action Quake 2 and HTML experience (Even simple things like using FrontPage).

Cheers
