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

I'm trying this on winXP listen server, to see what happens, today is a travel day for me, so I only had a few minutes... I tried the "bot" & "control" commands like in the post above...

bot -team axis -name joe
rcbot control joe

This would not spawn a bot named joe, it spawned a bot with a random name like "bot07". when I did "rcbot control joe", the console says joe doesn't exist. i typed "rcbot control bot07" bot07 suicides & was replaced with another, bot03. The bots were dumb, bumping into walls. I think this is spawning the dumb "pupet" bots built into the game. The control command tells rcbot to take control of that bot or slot?

I still haven't got it to work right with names yet, need more time with it.. But on a listen server, the control command didn't work until i first added a few rcbots. then i added a pupet bot (joe wouldn't work), used "rcbot control bot09", bot09 suicided, and a random rcbot took it's place, joined the correct team this time, and started playing normally...

I'll check this out more, later today or tomorrow. Not sure if this will do what you want? I'm curious to see what happens without any bot profiles? I don't see anything wrong in the config output from the console, nothing obvious... It's good to know rcbots are working in linux
