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

Venom

I hope...I've been searching forever for a bot for TF2 and found nothing. But still, please Cheeseh/Venom, make all of our dreams come true so we can blow people up without them calling us hackers. tongue.gif

the latest source SDK does not support orange box games

When I try to create the game source code from the Steam Tools, it just says

"The source code distributed with this version of source SDK is not compatible with the orange box version of the source engine. The mod you will create will be compatible with the episode 1 version of the source engine"

and it doesn't even let me create source code for ep 1 version of the source engine, it just quits!

(TF2~=orange box)
