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

Ted, thank you for taking a look at the code. I appreciate it.

I just downloaded the new file from: The existing link (which then has a link to google docs)

I definitely see that you made a different file because the old one was 4,789,219 bytes and the new one is 4,928,688 bytes

I put it on my linux DOD:S dedicated server and restarted it, then tried "rcbotd addbot" and it loaded a bot:

[RCBot] bot added
L 02/02/2014 - 08:43:06: "Bot01<2><BOT><>" connected, address "none"
L 02/02/2014 - 08:43:06: "Bot01<2><BOT><>" entered the game
[RCBot] Bot Command 'rcbot_defrate 0.19
' executed
L 02/02/2014 - 08:43:06: "Bot01<2><BOT><Unassigned>" joined team "Allies"
L 02/02/2014 - 08:43:06: "Bot01<2><BOT><Allies>" changed role to "#class_allied_garand"

However, this time it did not change the bots name to "RCBot", nor did it change its name to any of those in the profiles files. So...no joy.

So, I simply have a bot called "Bot01" at this point. When I add more bots, it simply adds to the number at the end of the bot name, so Bot02, Bot03, Bot04, etc...

Any thoughts?

madmax2, thank you for the clarification on the "bot" command.

genmac, with this new version, it is easier to do an sm_rename, because now the bots are all named "Bot##" where as with the previous version all were named "RCBot" which meant I had to rename using the ID# (i.e. sm_rename #2 botzilla). I am unsure how to auto-execute a cfg file that has the sm_rename command in it upon a bot being spawned.
