RCBot2 0.74 R2 release, fix update Options

[Cheeseh]

Hi guys since the birth of my baby girl I thought I should just release this now as I might not have a lot of time these days to update so frequently. This update has the new waypoint menu. It basically uses the debug engine which can only be used on listen server, also it uses the buttons 1-9 and 0 on the keyboard, so it changes some binds, as long as you use those for selecting weapons already you shouldn't have a problem.

there is also a ladder waypoint improvement which requires the waypointer to make each ladder waypoint yaw face the ladder

Now in regards to your new release, I immediately downloaded it but for my surprise is not working! Rcbot loads fine but bots are moving at all. I can see that the waypoints are loaded and actually after loading the map I saw that there was visibility process going on, once it completed it saved the waypoint or it said it did but still bots aren't moving.

Btw, just as reference I have a no-steam copy of the game but it was working perfectly with version 0.72 and 0.71 etc.

Hey Septien,
Check your rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods. For nosteam, the last I knew it was 416 for windows. Also try toggling the hookonce setting. Since you are using nosteam it should not of changed? I'm using steampipe, but havn't got it installed yet to test it. And steam just installed a dods update, so i hope it works...

It sounds like the runplayer setting is wrong, the bots not moving, try moving the setting up or down a few settings from 416 if you have to... make sure it is rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods, not rcbot_runplayer_cmd w/o the dods...

Ok, I just looked at the config file with .74, it's missing the dods part at the end of rcbot_runplayer_cmd. I'd bet thats the problem... check that first...

See genmacs guide for some tips here

Hi Max,

I did include rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods 416 since 417 crashes dods for me too.
I used both configs.ini; the new one 0.74 and 0.72 and both give me the same result: bots not moving. However both work when using the .dll file for version 0.72 and 0.73 beta. I am using Dods version 1.0.0.51. So I suspect it has to do with running a different version as Cheesah suggested.
