Dont really think its needed, but it would be cool to have bots for FF.
(And it would increase my "pro-skeelz" at it) notice sarcasm.

Hell yeah. It would be boring without bots in Fortress Forever, i just wanted to play with a moving bots to practice..

Heyyo,

I've had no luck either... I've tried both..

CODE

mod = CUSTOM
steamdir = sourcemods
gamedir = fortressforever
bot = FF

and...

CODE

mod = FF
steamdir = sourcemods
gamedir = fortressforever
bot = FF

and no matter how I load it via console or .vdf it just says "Unable to load ../bin/HPB_Bot2"

I can even place it in sourcemods\bin and the bin folder in fortressforever, and such.. no go. This is going to be another "wait for official rcbot2 support" kinda things... I don't even think you can load rcbot2 with any source engine mods in the sourcemods folder cause I haven't had any luck there.


Meh, TF2 I find is better.. TFC is fun with foxbot and oddbot and such anywho.. FF tbh I didn't find as good as TFC.. they did FF more like the Quake Fortress games.. but ridiculous emphasis on strafe jumping that it makes the game so unbalanced.. and in turn boring... example of a game ruined by moving too fast? Tribes Vengeance.. everyone just played the lighest classes and learnt how to ski and grab flags.. man it ruined the game.

and no matter how I load it via console or .vdf it just says "Unable to load ../bin/HPB_Bot2"

that just means that it can't find ../bin/HPB_Bot2.dll

it doesn;'t matter if u change bot_mods.ini, if it can't find the dll,

mess around with the plugin_load,

try

plugin_load HPB_Bot2

or

plugin_load ../HPB_Bot2

and other combinations, until it loads it

get what I mean ??

Heyyo,

Yeah I guess I should've been more detailed. But I've tried adding it into like.. every folder for sourcemods and the mods, and even source sdk base and source sdk base 2007.. I think the problem is the dll is not compatible with source engine 7.. only source engine 14 (orangebox & dods for examples).

CODE

] plugin_load hpb_bot2
Unable to load plugin "hpb_bot2"
Unable to load plugin "hpb_bot2"
] plugin_load hpb_bot2.dll
Unable to load plugin "hpb_bot2.dll"
Unable to load plugin "hpb_bot2.dll"
] plugin_load "hpb_bot2.dll"
Unable to load plugin "hpb_bot2.dll"
Unable to load plugin "hpb_bot2.dll"
] plugin_load "..\hpb_bot2.dll"
Unable to load plugin "..\hpb_bot2.dll"
Unable to load plugin "..\hpb_bot2.dll"
] plugin_load "..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll"
Unable to load plugin "..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll"
Unable to load plugin "..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll"

In Source SDK base 2007 I at least get this..

CODE

] plugin_load ..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll

[RCBOT] Cannot open game server interface "ServerGameDLL006" IServerGameDLL servergamedll
Failed to load plugin "..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll"
Unable to load plugin "..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll"

Where-as source SDK base gives me...

CODE

Unable to load plugin "..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll"
Unable to load plugin "..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll"

oh, correct, I forgot that these mods are not Orange Box, so they wont work without modifying the source a lot...

Heyyo,

oh, correct, I forgot that these mods are not Orange Box, so they wont work without modifying the source a lot...

Hmm, I'm starting to wonder if anyone's managed to get the bots to work with anything other than DODS and TF2... cause I can't get it to load even in orangebox mods.. always the same stuff. I placed the dll in the "source sdk base 2007\bin" folder and in Goldeneye Source v3.1.4 I get the following error:

CODE

] plugin_load "..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll"
[RCBOT] Found interface INTERFACEVERSION_PLAYERINFOMANAGER IPlayerInfoManager playerinfomanager

[RCBOT] Cannot open game server interface "ServerGameDLL006" IServerGameDLL servergamedll
Failed to load plugin "..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll"
Unable to load plugin "..\bin\hpb_bot2.dll"

Always cannot open game server interface error... I myself am more concerned in improving the bots preformance in TF2, but if there's time for extras this could be something to look into.

and I've even tried with both of the following in the bot_mods.ini

CODE

mod = CUSTOM
steamdir = source sdk base 2007
gamedir = gesource
bot = HL2DM
#
mod = CUSTOM
steamdir = sourcemods
gamedir = gesource
bot = HL2DM

[Cheeseh]

it won't work until ServerGameDLL006 is changed back to default in the source code, which means needing a newly compiled Rcbot DLL just for that purpose

[MarD]

Heyyo,

Hmm, so you're saying you'd need to have two separate rcbot projects? yeah I'm gonna say other bot mod developpers can just make their own bots from rcbot, I think trying to do way to much at once will just overwhelm you.. someone else could just work on the other mods if they wanted to (times like these make me wish I wasn't lazy and took a coding class in college... meh ).
