Half-life Original Question, Bot skill and map exploring Options

[Rootuser]

Hi everyone,

I have been a RCBot user for a long time and used HPB before that. It has always worked for me.

I have original Half-life (Sierra version omg!) and want to use RCBot for Deathmatch games in both HL1 Original and HL1 Opposing Force.

I've noticed RCBot works fine, but I have three questions:

1. Should I be using RCBot for HL1 or should I be using RCbot2?? I am confused as to what supports what. I know for HL2 I use RCBot2.

2. The bots don't seem to explore some of the maps very well, do Deathmatch maps need to be waypointed or the like? I don't have an specific objectives other than everyone kill everyone so I am not sure waypointing will do anything or will it?

3. Does adjusting the bot skill in the INI files work for HL1 Original DM? I know it works for NS but I am not sure how it works on HL1.

I play with a pretty regular contingent and we are doing some old-school gaming nights and rounding out the games with bots would be great.

Thanks for all the years of wonderful work!

Sounds like a good plan... Be sure to post your rcw's when you are done, so other RCbot'ers can enjoy them (even if they are modified conversions from HPB). You can use the RCbot website waypoints page too, no storage limit there (just 100k per file). RCbot could use more HLDM waypoints...

btw, which HLDM map are you working on now?
