----------------------
INSTALLING & RUNNING
----------------------

extract rcbot2 folder to your <Steam folder>/steamapps/<user email>/ for waypoints to work

(Installing to HL2DM)

Goto your Steam folder and go into the half-life 2 deathmatch folder
Extract the built HPB_Bot2.dll into the "\half-life 2 deathmatch\bin" folder
Extract the HPB_Bot2.vdf into the "\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\addons" folder
Run HL2DM.

For commands used "rcbot <command>"
see commands at the bottom of this file to add bots

For debug DLLS (The one included with the preview) you MUST run hl2 with the "-allowdebug" parameter in the command line (Or in the advanced launch options in steam for hl2 deathmatch or whatever mod)


---------------------------
For Dedicated Server HL2DM

Goto your Steam folder and go into the source dedicated server folder
Extract the built HPB_Bot2.dll into the "\source dedicated server\bin" folder
Extract the HPB_Bot2.vdf into the "\source dedicated server\hl2mp\addons" folder
Run HL2DM dedicated server.

For commands used "rcbotd <command>" [rcbotd instead of rcbot for dedicated servers]

see commands at the bottom of this file to add bots

--------------
Bot profiles
--------------

Rcbot has a profiles folder in "rcbot2" folder now. Each profile begins with a number starting from 1 ... n (n = number of profiles), the bot supports upto 999 profiles, more than enough.

Each profile is also a .ini file, so the first profile is 1.ini, second 2.ini, and so on.

----------------------------------
Example profile:
----------------------------------

# bot name
name = lam3r
# team number
team = -1
# model path
model = models/humans/Group03/Male_02.mdl
weapon = weapon_smg1
visionticks = 10
pathticks = 200

--------------------------------

Thats great, now for the IMPORTANT things, like oh, say,... the files??? With Configs please! not just Bins,...

[Cheeseh]

The files are with the zip file in the preview download (from filebase.bots-united.com) and should contain an rcbot2 folder which goes into the steamapps/<email> folder, (Or if using standalone dedicated server in the root dedicated server folder, also rename dedicated server folder to "Source dedicated server").

the folder is created by the bot once it is run but if you want waypoints arlready installed they go into rcbot2/waypoints/<steam game>/<mod game>
