----------------------
INSTALLING & RUNNING
----------------------

extract rcbot2 folder to your <Steam folder>/steamapps/<user email>/ for waypoints to work

(Installing to HL2DM)

Goto your Steam folder and go into the half-life 2 deathmatch folder
Extract the built HPB_Bot2.dll into the "\half-life 2 deathmatch\bin" folder
Extract the HPB_Bot2.vdf into the "\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\addons" folder
Run HL2DM.

For commands used "rcbot <command>"
see commands at the bottom of this file to add bots

For debug DLLS (The one included with the preview) you MUST run hl2 with the "-allowdebug" parameter in the command line (Or in the advanced launch options in steam for hl2 deathmatch or whatever mod)


---------------------------
For Dedicated Server HL2DM

Goto your Steam folder and go into the source dedicated server folder
Extract the built HPB_Bot2.dll into the "\source dedicated server\bin" folder
Extract the HPB_Bot2.vdf into the "\source dedicated server\hl2mp\addons" folder
Run HL2DM dedicated server.

For commands used "rcbotd <command>" [rcbotd instead of rcbot for dedicated servers]

--------------
Bot profiles
--------------

Rcbot has a profiles folder in "rcbot2" folder now. Each profile begins with a number starting from 1 ... n (n = number of profiles), the bot supports upto 999 profiles, more than enough.

Each profile is also a .ini file, so the first profile is 1.ini, second 2.ini, and so on.

----------------------------------
Example profile:
----------------------------------

# bot name
name = lam3r
# team number
team = -1
# model path
model = models/humans/Group03/Male_02.mdl
weapon = weapon_smg1
visionticks = 10
pathticks = 200
