This is sometimes very frustrating. In some maps (ns or co) bots make LOTS of squads. It means often that they are stuck in base. When I join the team which is stuck in base I use rcbot squad_menu and selections 4 4 and 3 4 (remove all bot squads and remove squad). I do this for like 30 times and they form a new squad instantly and they are -again- stuck in base. They try to move after squad deletion, but they are again totally stuck due to the squading. Now when other side attacks their respawn they sometimes "wake up" and start attacking the other side. Other mean is to say "follow me" and hope they will follow and try to shepherd them to the other side...and it takes time smile.gif

So how to take the squading off? I hope this is not a stupid question. I have really tried to find it out and tried to find out the config, if there is even any for it. Does rcbot need an update to have it as an variable to config?

I understand that aliens need it in ns to help the bot gorge by giving cover, but in co it makes the bots vulnerable...and stuck smile.gif

We have waypointed all the maps on our server and there should not be problems with them, because sometimes bots are very deadly, but too often stuck smile.gif

Just remembered that when marines say "weld me" they form a squad. Correct me if I am wrong but does rcbot also need an update on the ns menu selections? Like for instance on alien side...when aliens kills an marine it should laugh...right? The alien only say that hissing -dont remember what it means- sound. Is the reason for the forming too many squads only due to the menu update in NS 3.1?

I know you like to put your effort to the source version, but it would be totally awesome if you could update the HL version also. We have had an NS server up for 6 month and we only use rcbot. This is because it can be used on both sides and we use it on both sides and the players love our sever. We have about 50 players that come allmost every day and we have registered over 2000 players after 2 months of HLSW use. It would be very sad that HL-rcbot gets forgotten due to no updates sad.gif

But if there is no update coming we just have to find a way to make them run smoother...hope we find a cure smile.gif
