Team Fortress 2 Options

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

Intresting reading, thanks for the link, CountFloyd makes an intresting post.

Not sure why he wouldnt use NavMesh, i would of thought they would be better as it generates all the possible combonations around an object and calculates the best spots for sniper and building positions.

I didnt have time this morning to install VS2005 before work, but i look forward to playing around with it.

I must agree with you though cheeseh, I never had a problem adding bots, so i think the bot controller is there, not sure why RCBot crashes but I hope to test it and find out if i can.

Seems strange that both you and CountFloyd are getting different results when trying to add bots, Cheeseh game crashes, but CountFloyd says so bot controller, strange, i wonder how it will run on my computer? possibly explodes?
