Hi, I love Eggnogg but I can't get the AI bot working. It seems it latched on the input, but the other player stays still all the time anyway. :'(

I can control my dummy, but the other (the one supposed to be controlled by the bot) doesn't move.
Yes, I did reconfigured the keys, tried with both player 1 and 2 as well etc.
By the way, I've been always thinking: why don't you talk with Eggnogg's developer? It would be nice to have the bot integrated into the original game.
Moreover, that way this kind of problems won't even exist.
Hey, I have just tried it on my PC and it works for me. Did you activate the Bot by pressing "F4" while inside the game? To disable it again you can press "F6" (by the way it only works for the first map).
The developer is aware of this project. That time he was busy working on "Death Road to Canada". Since Eggnogg is a free game and he probably needs money, he prefers to work on a project which can be sold. I mean there were also plans for eggnogg to release "eggnogg rumble" and it was already far in development and almost ready. But still, it is not released. Since 6 years, no updates on eggnogg.
And I totally agree. For me, I love eggnogg and played it a lot in university, so I created this bot for a university project. And yeah, it has issues and could be done better, but investing more time into it just does not make sense right now. When you have a choice to work on something bigger which may bring you money later and more people will play it, or a free to play project like eggnogg which has rather a smaller community and is basically already a finished project, and to just work to improve it. You are probably going to choose the first.
And yeah integrating the project into eggnog would probably require some time, since the way I am controling hte bot is really hacky, by reading out bytes from the memory and simulating key presses. Plus the bot does not really see the map, so that should also be coded in. It all takes time :D
Hope you understand :)
