does it happen all the time? I guess it may be an initialization issue,.. could u post your whole rcbot2 config.ini ?

yes, all time. 0.71 too have this problem (and I use 0.7 before SP update)

config.ini:

IS that a direct copy and paste?

notice that



should be



. not ,

that will make rcbot_anglespeed = 0

I just looked through my files again and deleted all files for RCBot2 so I could start a new install.

Now when I overwrote my working set of RCBot_071 with your new RCBot_072 installer it worked right way. But on a new install I am getting a crash on exit.

Window 7 64 bit... steampipe version of dods.

Here is what I did, removed...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Day of Defeat Source\bin\HPB_Bot2.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Day of Defeat Source\dod\addons\rcbot2.vdf
And the old rcbot2 folder.
Did the same for HL2DM.

I then installed RCBot_072 fresh from the installer, saved a config for dods and HL2DM.

HL2DM starts, loads the .dll but does not add bots automatically unless I tick "add bots automatically" and pick a min/max does startup a game.

At the time of game startup I see the "rcbot2.vdf" file made (in dods at least), I take it that is normal.

Every time I exit the game I get a hl2.exe stops working error, this was from the end of a HL2DM game after closing the map and pressing exit....


DoD:s will do the same. I don't remember the crashes on exit on the last version.

Cheeseh
Thanks for your answer! Bots work nice) I'm very glad

I know it. Its a memory freeing issue that started with the new tier 1 crap . Notjing to worry about at the moment as you are quitting the game anyway but will look into it a bit more soon

Thanks, it does not seem to worry the system...hardly call it a crash right on the program quit command.

never the less...enjoying the bots!

Thank you so much!

Glad Emotional bot problem got fix now got me wondering what will happen if change...
rcbot_avoid_radius 80
to
rcbot_avoid_radius 0?

What's that for exactly?

When bots get killed, some of the waypoints around their area-of-death get marked as 'Dangerous'. avoid_radius probably is a variable that states how big is the radius that gives danger tags on waypoints.

Thats actually another command u are thinking of

This one makes bots try to move around enemies or obstructions. If bots are within 80 units they will try not to get any closer and turn left or right around it. Useful for spies in tf2 when they will blow their cover if they bump into an enemy. Although spies ignore it when they want to backstab

Well, that's good to know. I'd also like to inform that using rcbot debug gameevent now crashes the game.

Yo Cheeseh...noticed dods snipers don't go prone even if the wpt has a prone tag.
For mg's it's perfectly working.

sorry to say, but this was not a good idea for dedicated server.
cos who has FTP rights to access the users folder on an dedicated server?

Its only temporary for now to get it working for clients. For linux deicated there should be no problem as every ftp user should have a user profile directory. Im not sure about windows. Where is your home folder on the ftp server?

there is no home folder on FTP under windows.
depending on which user starts srcds.exe its in c:\Users\*username*

its not a problem for myself, cos i have full root on my windows server.
but maybe other users can have that problem.

Are the rcbot debug commands working for other mods? Using any of them in TF2 makes the game crash and I wanna know if it's just me, since TF2 crashes for me when the Payload blows up on Hoodoo and Hightower. Also, I've noticed that there's a command called rcbot_speed_bonus or something like that. Since the bots move slower than regular players, is it possible to use this command to artificially give them the correct move speeds?

Only in hl2dm im guessing. I believe i fixed it in the latest source by removing an exception handler. Does it still crash on hoodoo etc in the older version?

Rcbot_speed_boost was made for that purpose to test if it is the bots move speed which is the problem. I found out that it doesnt matter how fast you tell the bots to go, there is a limit which is already reached. You can try entering 2 and see if they go any quicker. Put in a lower value than 1 however and tgey will all go slower

I've got 0.72 and it crashes on rcbot debug commands. The older version didn't. I've also tried manipulating the speed_boost command, from making the bots stop moving completely to giving them 10x speed, but it only accepts values below 1.

I've tried my best in installing this with the rcbot2 installer but have had no luck at least with DOD:S. I'm using Windows 7 64bit. I've plugged in my steam username (which is my email) on the installer and made sure of the directory for my steam.exe but it tells me it finds Steampipe DOD: S but not steampipe TF2 and HL2 Deathmatch. It tells me it can't find DOD: S and tells me it's "partially installed see log". I put the rcbot folder in the "users/username" folder like you said with no luck. What am I doing wrong? It's got to be a simple directory/copy & paste folder issue I would assume?

Well, if you placed the rcbot2 folder in your users/whatshisface folder and probably have the rcbot2 dll in your game's bin folder (day of defeat/bin/HPB_Bot2), that would pretty much mean that your installation is complete. Check if both of these match up. If they do, rejoice! If they don't, fix it and rejoice afterwards.
