little Summary of RCBOTS2 for dedicated DODS Server & Gungame! Options

[darkranger]

first let me say that the bots are doing very well. its a great work. thanks.

but there are some little problems on dedicated servers.

-> when the last player leaves the server the bots are also leaving, but comming back a second later. but now they are dumb. running around and do nothing. only a mapchange will help here.
as bypass i have a sourcemod plugin installed that changes the map 2 minutes after the last human player leaves the server.

-> they server crashes sometimes. i think its comming from my plugin that removes the reload from Rockets and Pistols. it seems its a problem with "dod_stats_weapon_attack" on Sourcemod. the problem also exits on my server where i have DOGs DODSBOTS installed. after removing the plugin all runs fine till today.
--> and 1 thing i notice too. server crashes when running custom player models on the server.

-> waypointing: its easy when you only have simply waypoints. i figured out how to use ladders, but the JUMP waypoints didnt work. the documentation is, in my eyes, poor.
i do LADDERS with that commands in a row: STARTPOINT: waypoint add - pathwaypoint create1 - givetype ladder ENDPOINT: waypoint add - pathwaypoint create2 - givetype ladder.
thats ok, but how i do with JUMP ? the documentation is confusing my in that point. i didnt understand how to make JUMPs.


but again. the bots doing very well and sometimes you cannot say if the enemy that kills you is a bot or human

if someone will test the bots here is the server adress: 62.93.103.39:27550 . Server is up from 16:00CET to 06:00CET.

nope! it's a path distance command that works along auto path creation. load the command via console before dropping a wpt. just do some trial and error so you'll figure out which path distance suited you.
I prefer using 0-100-200-500 and some manaul path connecting since i want my wpts look clean and not too cluttered with too many paths unless it's a wide area.

the problem with auto path creation it tends to creates lots of unwanted paths sometimes, so it's very useful if you choose any path distance using that command and if the section you're wpting creates unwanted path or no path at all to some wpts nearby ,simply connect them manually and remove some unwanted paths.

and don't worry about vac hehe...but you have to remove the -insecure on your lunch option if you can't connect on other servers.
