Hi d3mOn,

Now I know what was happening on the waypoints problem you had...

For some reason, some the waypoint files that came with the bot where not working properly from the latest RCBOT download package.

You were using the waypoints from the latest release (.85), and a few of those waypoints appear to of been loaded and saved in the new waypoints version4 format, making them incompatible with the current linux build (version3 format waypoints). I see 2 "official" dod map waypoints in .85 that would be incompatible, dod_avalanche and dod_colmar, their file size changed from the .76 release. All waypoints in the .76 installer will work, and currently all waypoints in the waypoints forum should work on the linux build. Check the forum for the latest updated waypoints and patches, etc.

I actually just found this in my server log:

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

I did confirm on windows, with the profiles folder removed, bots will still join and function, using defaults. I have suspected that this is what has been happening with the linux build, that RCbot is not actually reading in the bot profiles at all, even though the console suggests otherwise.

Bots should join with just a "rcbotd config max_bots 4" setting or using "rcbotd addbot". Try one or the other, not both, and see what happens...

You can put either command in the rcbot config.ini file and bots should join from that on map load. But the "rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods 417" must be set manually before the first map or thru a server cfg file (modsettings.cfg http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index....st&p=12667) on dedi's.
