All bots are named RCBot, How can I rename my bots? Options

[phenrol]

Hello,

I have RCbot2 working on my DOD:S linux server and I can spawn functioning bots, however, all of them are named "RCBot", which is rather annoying.

I have tried messing with the profiles, and the server reads them in just fine as indicated by the startup output when the plugin is loading, however, anything I do with these does not seem to change anything.

I can individually set their name using sm_rename, but that is a pain.

can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks

Seems to me this was posted someplace before, so I did some searching, couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, but I found this for TF2. Have you tried this? "rcbotd control" may help?

Maybe change blue/red to axis/allies

I'm not sure if this will work for dod:s, as "rcbot help control" returns no help info in the console, guess I should just try it & see what happens... I can't find any specifics on this command in the forums yet?

So if I understand correctly, the server output/console shows the correct bot names from the profiles? Does it show which bot ini's are loading, cause mine doesn't...

dedi may be different, but on listen, my console only shows this for bots joining:

when using min/max bots, I only get this info for bots joining...
#Game_connected
#Game_connected
#Game_connected
#Game_connected

when using rcbot addbot from the config.ini, i get this info...
[RCBot] Bot Command 'rcbot addbot 0 2
' executed
[RCBot] bot added
#Game_connected
[RCBot] Bot Command 'rcbot addbot 0 3
' executed
[RCBot] bot added
[RCBot] Bot Command 'rcbot addbot 1 2
' executed
#Game_connected
[RCBot] bot added
#Game_connected

No bot names in either case. but on my screen i get something like this...

player bot01 has joined the game
player bot01 changed name to joe

player bot02 has joined the game
player bot02 changed name to jeff

and so on, bot01 thru bot12, no connection to which bot ini is loading...


I'm not sure if this would make a difference, have you tried Ted's new .76 linux build?

Yeah, genmac could be right, might be a bug in the linux build, and cheeseh depends on feedback from the community for dedi bugs...

Hope this helps,
