POD bot
Encyclopedia
POD-Bot is a bot
for Counter-Strike
and Half-Life. POD stands for "Ping of Death" Bots, a name derived from the fact that bots using the Half-Life engine always have a minimum ping of five. POD-Bot was scripted, coded, and developed by Markus Klinge, also known as Count Floyd, and was developed to entertain the players who can't or don't play Counter-Strike
online. The bots use a waypoint based navigation system to travel around maps, and are capable of completing map objectives as well as killing the opposing force.
Count Floyd's POD-bot is restricted to Windows-based systems, and Counter-Strike is the only mod
on which it functions. However, the source code to POD-bot has been released, and several variants have emerged offering various new features, such as metamod
plugin capabilities and long awaited Linux
support.
Its pathfinding skills are the same as in stock maps.
