Hi madmax2,

Thanks for the reply.

I actually found out after the post that it was exactly what you had mentioned. For some reason, some the waypoint files that came with the bot where not working properly from the latest RCBOT download package. So I found some other waypoint on the forum, tried them, and seemed to work. A little buggy as the bots get stuck on certain points but much better than sitting in the spawn area.

Now the main problem is the bot profiles/names. I looked over the the forum topic you linked and the only solution was to do a mass rename but from what it looks like my bot names go up to around 500. eg: I have 4 bots join at a time with "max_bots 4" the initial bot names start out with Bot01...Bot02 and every map change the numbers go up. Also when the server is empty they leave and rejoin with +4 ... Bot06... Bot07...Bot08... all the way up to around 500 so mass rename would be out of the question as I would have to make 500 rename requests.

I am currently working on a sourcemod plugin that would enable/disable cheats and send addbot command with the names but when RCBOT reads the cfg file it's acting very weird. The config looks like the following:

CODE

rcbotd config min_bots 0
rcbotd config max_bots 4
rcbotd addbot 2 2 DeathFromAbove
rcbotd addbot 2 3 v0x
rcbotd addbot 3 2 Wall-E
rcbotd addbot 1 3 stealth

But for some reason it will add 4 bots with the name "stealth" is if it repeated the last command 4 times. If I can fix that, I can fix the cheats and bot names which I would be happy to release it here for anyone else that would like to use bots with a linux dedicated server.

Updates:

I actually just found this in my server log:

CODE

[RCBot] No bot profiles are free, creating a default bot...

More Updates:

Okay, so when I run the command in my console:

CODE

rcbotd addbot 0 2 Foo; rcbotd addbot 0 3 Bar;

RCBOT doesn't acknowledge the first command and executes the last command twice. If I send the commands one at a time in my console it works fine.
