Note: This is going to be a way of getting bots to work with custom/changeable TF2 CP/PL/PLR maps,

This is an example of a working CP Script with the latest SVN for CP_Dustbowl



The numbers represent the "Waypoint areas", The most important are the red_attack/blue_attack/blue_defend/red_Defend as these denote the capture point waypoint areas, there should be waypoints with "capture point" type and area number related to the number in this script.

:setup_time:<time>

is the GLOBAL setup time in seconds at the moment, this may be changed to per point.

:on_reset:

is a global flag state which happens when a round completely restarts (.e.g first dustbowl cap/new cp_badlands round)


:on_blue_cap:<Cap name>

is what happens when BLUE captures the point with <cap name> (look at these later)


:on_red_cap:<Cap name>

is what happens when RED captures the point with <cap name> (look at these later)


To define what happens when a point is captured I use these


red_attack:<waypoint area>
blue_attack<waypoint area>
red_defend:<waypoint area>
blue_defend:<waypoint area>

The bots will go to these waypoint capture areas with the appropriate Defend/Attack style depending on which team they are, the names are self explanatory

Cap names

You can get these by putting "rcbot debug gameevent 1" on and playing on a team, go to a capture point and capture it. Eventually the "point captured" event will happen and it will have a "cpname", this is the capture point name.

For example:

On well there are
#Well_cap_blue_two = 0
#Well_cap_blue_rocket = 1
#Well_cap_center = 2
#Well_cap_red_two = 3
#Well_cap_red_rocket = 4

Perhaps someone could make up a script for this and the rest . . . As I'm going to scrap the old method.

areas
is used to determine what waypoints are valid when a point is captured, for example some waypoints may be unreachable after CP_dustbowl stage 1, 2 etc . . . All flagged waypoints should have an area related to the " reachability " of it . . .
e.g. If I want a sentry waypoint on CP_Dustbowl on stage 1 I will give it an area of 1 or 2.
If I want it on stage 2 I will give it area 3 or 4, (See the script above)

Area 0
Waypoints with area of "0" are generally accessible, or ignored.

for example: blue_attack:0 (or red_attack:0) , will mean the team has no attack areas at this time.

Is that cp_dustbowl code thingy is going to be work on rcbot 0.46 beta o.O?

The next release version will be 0.5, I believe.

And I'm assuming it will.

So when the next version going to be release???

When I finish waypointing. I'll be quick, don't worry!

How near are you in finishing, if I can ask?

I still have a couple of maps left to waypoint - it does get very tedious, y'know. I'll try and finish by Friday - if not by then, then Monday.

Sweet! Can't wait for it.

Does it include cp_orange_x4 too D:?

No. The maps in the next version will be:

cp_dustbowl
cp_well
cp_badwater
pl_goldrush
pl_badwater
pl_hoodoo
plr_pipeline

Official version never have custom map waypoints.
With your comment, Geralt,does that mean you're finished?

Not yet, my friend.. not yet.

Been waiting since the Friday or Monday comment,rewaypointed Badwater, BUT I waypointed Gravelpit,Junction and Steel JUST for the excitement of the CP support finally coming out
So,I can get a little impatient

Yeah I've been quite busy, really. I won't tell you how close I am to finishing. (Since I'm not close at all).

cp_badwater o.O?

cp_badlands*

Oops.

Geralt, is there a scripts which i can make the bots auto join or something..?

Not that I know of... you can easily just bind 'rcbot addbot' to a key though.

make a .cfg file in the tf/cfg folder.
add the bot stuff in it.
load it on tf2,and you get the bots.

Thanks buddy, your cool .

btw. Do you have the rcbot2 for the fortress forever version..?
