Hey everyone,

So I am having on hell of a time trying to get the folder structure right. I know there's been a big update since the last posts on here as far as the dedicated servers go. hldsupdatetool.bin is no longer used and switched to the steamcmd downloader. I am using Ted's latest build and running a dedicated linux server with Ubuntu 12.04 but I am not exactly sure if it's even suppose to work. Although the bots do load and work on certain maps.

My folder structure is as follows: /home/srcds/steamcmd/dods/dod. The folder dods has the srcds_run file and dod is the mod folder with the cfg and other files. My rcbot2 folder is: /home/srcds/steamcmd/rcbot2

Here is my server start up log: http://pastebin.com/8p5pWd6p

The following is my bot_mods.ini:

CODE

#
mod = DOD
steamdir = dods
gamedir = dod
bot = DOD
#

It shows that it loads properly and reading the bot profiles correctly on start-up:

CODE

[RCBot] Reading bot profile "../rcbot2/profiles/1.ini"
[RCBot] Reading bot profile "../rcbot2/profiles/2.ini"
[RCBot] Reading bot profile "../rcbot2/profiles/3.ini"
[RCBot] Reading bot profile "../rcbot2/profiles/4.ini"
[RCBot] Reading bot profile "../rcbot2/profiles/5.ini"
[RCBot] Reading bot profile "../rcbot2/profiles/6.ini"

When bots join they are named: Bot01...Bot02...Bot03 and so on with what looks like no bot profiles being loaded. It also seems that my waypoints are not being loaded. On certain maps like dod_avalanche the bots just sit in the spawn area not moving at all. On other maps, they seem to work okay. It gives me an error about failing to create folder/files for the waypoints:

CODE

[RCBot] file not found/opening error '../rcbot2/waypoints/dods/dod/dod_flash2.rcb' mode rb
[RCBot] Trying to create folder '../' failed
[RCBot] Trying to create folder '../rcbot2/' failed

[RCBot] Trying to create folder '../rcbot2/waypoints/dods/dod/' failed
[RCBot] failed to make folders for ../rcbot2/waypoints/dods/dod/dod_flash2.rcb
*** Can't open Waypoint belief array for reading!

*** working out visibility 57 percent***
*** working out visibility 68 percent***
*** working out visibility 79 percent***
*** working out visibility 91 percent***
*** finished working out visibility ***
*** saving waypoints with visibility information ***

I also noticed an error that it was looking for the waypoints in the same folder as the bot_mods.ini was stated as eg: ../rcbot2/waypoints/dods/dod/ so I renamed the folder Day of Defeat Source to dods to hopefully make it work but still doesn't seem correct. Like I said though, some maps they will work. It seems dod_avalanche is one of the rare ones it doesn't work and also doesn't log "*** working out visibility 45 percent***" on the server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! I've seen RCBot2 on other servers running I just don't know if they're on linux or not.
