Craybot was a program made by servent which you use to play Multiplayer levels as Single Player levels with the AI learning what you do and become clever.

This of course is not true due to the fact of ALACN'S investagations.

How Servant made this files??? Hm.... the truth is that he did not, he just copyed from pop files:



When you run Craybot for the first time it configures and installs many things right? LIES AGAIN! to make craybot load like the first time, open file "config.ini" and change line "FirstRun=1" to "FirstRun=0"



In CrayBot help u can see:


"CrayBot is basically a computer opponent for Populous: The Beginning. I originally designed it to run explicity on my machine as a server so I could play with it in multiplayer games."

OOHHH..... he can play with CrayBot in multiplayer, u belive that after you know that craybot isnt an AI and is just normal computer scripts from Populous????

and servant says more....

"It is a dynamic computer opponent (that means it learns and adapts as it plays). It is completely self-contained (and pretty small in size considering the complexity of the AI."


Hmmm..... How this "AI" will adapt it self??? It is only pop single player maps!!!!! The computer player CANT learn because once its loaded it never accesses its script file again!!

and more and more....

"CrayBot has been a project I really enjoyed working on. I have learned a lot about Artificial Intelligence during this time. CrayBot is a very complex piece of software even though it's deceptively small size makes it appear otherwise."

servant says "CrayBot is a very complex piece of software", very complex??? heheh..... how will be complex if is only a software that just extract some maps while u will play???????


How i know the truth??? To see the truth about craybot is to get some cracking utilits, i use regmon and filemon that u can find at www.sysinternals.com
