New update to RCBot 2 for the latest in Steam update nonsense.

PLEASE DELETE YOUR OLD RCBot2 DLL and VDF from each mod before install.

Metamod Source version now only supported. The latest version includes metamod and an installer to automatically install metamod source and RCBOT2 into your mods.

Download RCBot 1.0

You can now edit the path of where you have installed RCBot by writing it in the rcbot2.vdf which is now placed in the MOD/addons/metamod folder

rcbot2.vdf

CODE

"Metamod Plugin"
{
"alias" "RCBot2"
"file" "addons/rcbot2meta"
"rcbot2path" "<where you have installed RCBOT2>"
}

the rcbot2.vdf and the rcbot2path is created automatically by the installer from where you choose to install

Includes fixes for the following problems:

The installer will always break halfway through (fail to extract all the files) , so here are some manual instructions:

1.Download the latest version of metamod source from the official website (metamodsource.net). All downloads can be found in the green "Downloads" box. I use windows, so I would download MMS 1.10.6 Windows

2. Extract the addons folder in the zip to your game's root directory ( in the same folder as maps ). Merge if you already have one, and replace ALL files.

3. Now, download RCBot2 1.0 from this link (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rcbot2/)

4.Open the RCBot_1_0.zip and you will get three items: a "files" folder, GPL.txt, and the broken installer. Ignore everything except the "files" folder.

5.Open the files folder and MOVE the rcbot2 folder to a directory of your choice (Windows explorer will crash if you extract/copy).

6.Move rcbot2meta.dll into the "addons" folder you created in step 2

7.Download my rcbot2.txt file:  rcbot2.txt ( 89bytes ) Number of downloads: 2418


8. Replace PATH with the directory where you have put the rcbot2 folder from step 5, but keep the quotations. Save the .txt as .vdf (My rcbot2 folder is located in "C:\Users\Matthew\Documents", so I would delete PATH, leave the quotations and put C:\Users\Matthew\Documents in the quotes)

9.Use the launcher to activate RCBot2. The launcher can be found in "rcbot2\launcher". You have successfully installed rcbot!

Thanks for the manual instructions

as for the installer did you extract everything into a temporary folder before running the installer exe?

Yes, I had to move all the files, because windows explorer would crash otherwise. Halfway through the installation process, the installer would run into an exception error.

the installer requires you first to extract everything then run installer.exe (Maybe that's the problem)

I moved all the files to a temp folder because explorer would crash if I copied.

A sugesstion: has anyone ever tried doing an entire team of rcbots vs a team of tfbots? Do it on a fair and even gamemode like koth or cp.
