I compiled a linux RCBot2 0.5

1. Folder Structure :
.../hl2
.../orangebox <-- srcds_run is here (for TF2 and Orange-Box games)
.../orangebox/bin <-- HPB_bot2_i486.so files copied here
.../rcbot2/
.../rcbot2/config/
.../rcbot2/profiles/
.../rcbot2/waypoints/
.../rcbot2/waypoints/orangebox/tf/ <-- waypoint and scripts files copied here
.../steam
2. Edit .../rcbot2/config/bot_mods.ini
mod = TF2
steamdir = orangebox
gamedir = tf
bot = TF2
3. Add
./srcds_run ..............+plugin_load ../bin/HPB_bot2

Do you know if there is a way to manually reload the bot config.ini via rcon/console? If so, I think I can fix my problem by just adding the commands inside that config file because it executes it with the names correctly.

It would have to be thru a rcbot command, and I don't see it, so I don't think it's possible .

But since you can load bots with names one at a time on the console, doe's it not work to execute a cfg file with addbot commands after map load. I believe most rcbot commands/cvars can be done this way...

Try creating a cfg file like this, name it something like rcbotsadd.cfg and place it in the /dod/cfg folder...

rcbotd addbot 2 2 DeathFromAbove
rcbotd addbot 2 3 v0x
rcbotd addbot 3 2 Wall-E
rcbotd addbot 1 3 stealth
rcbotd addbot 0 2 Foo
rcbotd addbot 0 3 Bar

After the map has loaded, you should be able to type exec rcbotsadd.cfg in the console and 6 bots should join. Now I thought this wasn't working for names on linux servers, but maybe it was just a problem of reading names from the profiles? On listen server, I add bots this way from the rcbot config.ini, but without the names, names get added from the profiles the way I have it set up.

If this works, you should be able to exec this file from a server cfg file that executes after map load, I'm just not sure what server cfg does that. On HL1 engine, you can have map cfg files for each map in the maps folder, I would think source has this too, but I'm not sure if the timing of execution is late enough to work? Idea: If it does work then you might be able to put the addbot commands in the map cfg's, and customize it for each map???
