With the steampipe changes I've had to make many file system changes, so
please move your rcbot2 folder to your home directory on windows (see below)

1. The rcbot folder should now be in Documents and Settings/<Your Username> OR Users/<Your Username> (for me it looks like C:/Users/Paul/rcbot2)
2. (For linux this is simply ~/ )
3. There are two hook offsets now, one for DOD:S and one for TF2, (they are different now)
   i.e. rcbot_runplayer_cmd_tf2 and rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods
4. The installer should work but installs to both possible folders either steampipe or non steampipe (i.e. your account name or common)
5. The DLL goes into the same directory (in the mod/bin folder)

I know the home folder thing might not work for hlds servers, but this is just to release while I make more changes. Hope this is okay with you guys to get the bot to work and install easily.


Installing
You can use the RCBot2 Installer.exe to install and run the RCBot2 Launcher, from there everything is easy. However if you run in to problems you can install manually

Manual Installation
Copy the rcbot2 folder from ‘files/’ into your users/<PC USER> folder (or Documents and settings/<PC user>)

Running
You can use the RCBot2 Launcher to run RCBot2 automatically however once you have loaded the game with the launcher you need to create a server to create a game

This version of RCBot 2 uses a hook into the game engine to make bots move properly in TF2 and DOD:S. To do this, the bot needs to know, in memory, where to hook

This is held in the variable rcbot_runplayer_cmd_tf2 and rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods for the appropriate mod

The rcbot_runplayer_cmd value must be the same as the latest version of the mod, found here: http://www.sourcemodplugins.org/vtableoffsets

If you experience crashes try changing rcbot_runplayer_hookonce to 0 or 1 or vice versa

Manual running
If you want to run RCBot2 manually, just enter the command line in the modification of your choice in Steam

-insecure +plugin_load “..\bin\HPB_Bot2”

Then create a server

Warning! If loading manually, make sure you don’t already have a VDF file with rcbot2 automatically loading. Otherwise RCBot2 will be loaded twice and strange things might happen!

Adding bots
Rcbot addbot <class> <team> <name>

If you want to add a random bot by using a bot profile, just type

Rcbot addbot

If you want to add a bot with a specific class and an automatic team type

Rcbot addbot 1 for scout in TF2, or support in DOD:S

For TF2 scout or DOD:S Support class , see the list of class numbers below:

Team Fortress 2

CODE

Class numbers
1 = scout
2 = sniper
3 = soldier
4 = demoman
5 = medic ( Bugs )
6 = hwguy
7 = pyro ( Bugs )
8 = Spy
9 = Engineer

Team Numbers:
2 = red
3 = blue

DOD:Source

CODE

Class numbers
0 = Rifleman

2 = Assault
3 = Sniper
4 = Machine Gunner
5 = Rocket



Team Numbers:
2 = Allies

I just looked through my files again and deleted all files for RCBot2 so I could start a new install.

Now when I overwrote my working set of RCBot_071 with your new RCBot_072 installer it worked right way. But on a new install I am getting a crash on exit.

Window 7 64 bit... steampipe version of dods.

Here is what I did, removed...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Day of Defeat Source\bin\HPB_Bot2.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Day of Defeat Source\dod\addons\rcbot2.vdf
And the old rcbot2 folder.
Did the same for HL2DM.

I then installed RCBot_072 fresh from the installer, saved a config for dods and HL2DM.

HL2DM starts, loads the .dll but does not add bots automatically unless I tick "add bots automatically" and pick a min/max does startup a game.

At the time of game startup I see the "rcbot2.vdf" file made (in dods at least), I take it that is normal.

Every time I exit the game I get a hl2.exe stops working error, this was from the end of a HL2DM game after closing the map and pressing exit....

DoD:s will do the same. I don't remember the crashes on exit on the last version.

I know it. Its a memory freeing issue that started with the new tier 1 crap . Notjing to worry about at the moment as you are quitting the game anyway but will look into it a bit more soon

Thanks, it does not seem to worry the system...hardly call it a crash right on the program quit command.

never the less...enjoying the bots!

Thank you so much!
