Team Fortress 2 Options

[Venom]

Hello,
Well i have been playing TF2 basicly since beta, having been release and after playing it for 3 or 4 weeks solid now, I would like to start to turn towards bot development. After previously working with the older HL version of RCbot on Natural Selection and modifing that bot to support different game types, I will be moving my efforts towards bot development with TF2.

Like all source games and mods, they all come with basic source bots any way. The only way to activate this in games like TF2, is to make sure that -console command is on before you launch the game, and simply type "sv_cheats 1" and then "bot_add". Due to the lack of development and customisation of these standard bots, the bots will not do anything even though they can be added to the game. So I will now be looking at RCBot2 to see if i can get bots into TF2.

I will keep you posted on my efforts, i am currently downloading the Windows version of the TF2 dedicated server, having a glimps at the RCbot2 forum, people seem to be having problems with dedicated server so i hope I am able to setup and install RCbots correctly.

Wish me luck

I have sent you Cheeseh additional source code to your inbox, it may be of some use to develop the bots based on the valve bot manager or if you decide to continue developing RCBot2.

Most of these files are interesting , but I've seen much before and most of this code can't be done in a server plugin.

I've seen the serverplugin example many times before as it's the only example of a bot in a plguin environment, the problem is there is no weapon information, and class information. Of course you get this if you create your own MOD, in the other files you posted. The RCBot2 Source code as it stands is.. shall I say far superior to the server bot plugin example as it was based on that on day 1.

I've already seen and known about the NAV Mesh stuff and had provisions for it on RCbot2's source release day 1 also, just needs a new subclass.
