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.

i noticed the jumping issue in TF2 as well, definitely new with v0.71... when jumping over fences, I have to place the waypoint marked with "jump" on the fence for them to clear it on their first try... I personally liked the old way where they would just jump when they reached the jump waypoint... it makes more sense that way.

I was trying to make a reply to this yesterday but replied to the wrong thread as I was using mobile... *doh*

I was meaning to say that the jump change is most likely a bug due to a side effect when adding the bomb to open waypoints.

Btw. it's rcbot_wpt_pathdist

also I don'tk now why bots would go weird when the last player leaves the server, I can only guess there is some plugin or setting that is pausing or stopping all plugins from running when there are no players
