Rcbot can't find bot profiles, Auto set sv_cheats not working, TF2 problem. Options

[Taberone]

For some reason, Rcbot won't detect any bot profiles, and when using the launcher to automatically set sv_cheats to 1, it won't work. It only spawns "dead" rcbots that refuse to move. Reinstalling Rcbot with the installer does nothing, as the old settings are still there. I've reinstalled and tried things over and over.

One thing I tried:Try to find where Rcbot is installed (Users/(Username here) and (D or C:/Rcbot), delete it, run the installer again.

Games used with Rcbot:Team Fortress 2.

Hi Taberone,

Welcome to the RCbot forums...

I don't think it's a profiles problem or sv_cheats, here's why:

Without any profiles, bots will still move & shoot...

If sv_cheats = 0, then bots won't even join...

But it sounds like the bots are not finding a waypoint for the map you want to play, they won't move if there is no waypoint. OR they can't locate the waypoints folder? Or the rcbot2 folder is in the wrong place, I can still spawn rcbots manually, after setting sv_cheats 1, if I move my rcbot2 folder to another location, but they don't move...

I haven't tried to use the launcher & auto sv_cheats in a while, so it is possible there is a problem there? Maybe I'll test that later today? But it sounds like you have an install problem other than sv_cheats, since the bots do join.

I'm guessing you are using windows 7 and rcbot2 0.76? For a client/listenserver (NOT dedicated) install, the rcbot2 folder should be in something like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\rcbot2 (WinXP)

or

C:\Users\Username\rcbot2 (Win7)

In either case, the waypoints path should be this for tf2...

...\rcbot2\waypoints\team fortress 2\tf (it should reflect the same path as your TF2 install)
[edit] (ie. You might need to change "team fortress 2" to "orangebox" if you installed TF2 from dvd instead of steam)

Hope this helps...

I got to run now, but will check back in a couple hours...

[edit] Oh, maybe post your config.ini from the rcbot2 folder, if you can't get it working, and everything is in the correct location...
