FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE ERROR, Bug maybe? Options

[EDGECOM]

hi
I get error

trying it from the client : FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE prevented server running command: bot

rcon gives this error

rcon from "192.168.1.16:3175": command "rcbotd addbot 1"
Error, bad server command bot -name "the bots name in ini file"
[RCBot] bot added

and if I type it directly into the server console

Error, bad server command bot -name "the bots name in ini file"
[RCBot] bot added

I noticed when loading your plugin with the most recent update I am unable to use rcon when I try and issue a rcon command I get unable to connect to 0.0.0.0 message however if I manually set the rcon to the local or global ip in the server.cfg I can rcon I don't know if this is scource mod or both messing it up will do some more poking arround later

I know you already stated that this beta may not work wiht the decated server I was wondering if I could get the current scource code I looked on source forgre already and also the bot-united server

I would like to help you code your AI I have written bots before EDGEFISH (Final fantasy XI) is one and a bot for Perfect world international o.0 both MMORPG's

The latest version does not support dedicated server, unfortunately, because of the way the bots work in the new version, it relies on the "bot" command working

I just logged into my server and rconed the generic bot -team blue -class medic -name brokebot and it added bots just fine are you saying its the way your dll loads into the source code cause it may just be a simple string error on create bot

I haven't tried ti with the dedicated server but I would expect it has something to do with the "Bot -name ..." command , as it works in the client I thought it should be easily transferable to the server code, but I'm not sure if there are any differences.

In the mean time , You could try adding a bot like, for example "bot -name Joe" and then just "rcbot control Joe"

alright I will after I get done reinstalling my tf2 server I think the new update messed up metamod and scource mod cause whenever I try and use the functions it crashes my server... like slap player it crashes.. also I noticed that on map change the server laggggs.... it's like its not clearing the cache.. so I am going to do a fresh install and go from there

btw server is a HP Proliant DL-145 Dual AMD Optron 2.4Ghz with 8Gb DDR 333(2700) Ram and the internet connection is 20Mb down 10Mb up so I know its not my server

ok I finished the reinstall and tested my server lastnight it lagged here and there but not as bad with the metamod and source mod installed
(gonna have to send an email to the mod dev's )

tested rcbot lastnight it loaded however when I let rc take control they just stand there I know I got the waypoints cause I saved am using the ones from the scout update just before it broke..

the medic on the other hand will follow you and heal you and murder and uber charge I named him Autoheal lol ppl were like wtf .. bot and I was like read the DAMN!! server name... "THE-BLACK-DRAGONS Bot test 2fort" anyways.. ohh ohhh another thing that was fun to do sticka medic bot and a heavy bot in a doorway and just watch them murder things o.0 the ai code is there for them to shoot they just can't move


I got a quick question is the wapoints the same as for the decated server commands example: rcbot the same as rcbotd cause I noticed 2 different dir's in the waypoints folder and I put waypoints in both folders

was thinking maybe could use valves .nav system just the waypoints and make a ini file for each bot or maby just the engi to tell him where to build things @ X Y Z pitch X Y X witch I know thats how your waypoint system works with the excption of the .ini but I can't do rcbot create waypoint using the rcbotd
ugh.. I am ranting sorry lol...just woke up

Example: use the current medic code to nav to waypoints and run through them till it hits null
get_waypoint_ent_1 --> move to waypoint 1
do
get_waypoint_ent_1
if next >= 1 // not null
then move to point1
untill get_waypoint = null

I now you already know all this like I sed if I had the current source code for the bot I would love to help code it I have SF account edgecom pm me let me know

I guess the waypoints aren't installed into the correct folder, when you use a dedicated server the waypoints go into a different directory. If you have a look at the rcbot2 folder, ook in waypoints, and look to see what folders were created automatically by the bot when it loaded, and move the waypoints into it.

sorry, quick response, just to that for now

[EDGECOM]

ok I deleted my waypoints folder and let it recreate it on startup the rcd is in the tf folder I assume its correct cause it loads the bot profiles with no errors

D:\HLServer\rcbot2\waypoints\orangebox\tf

I looked in the rcbotd command and I can't load them from there it says [can't use] next to most of the commands

any ideas?

[Cheeseh]

it just says can't use from most commands because u can't use a lot of commands in dedicated server because it requires a client to use it on, its not a bug and it has been prupoesly been done that way

[EDGECOM]

ok I finaly figured out how to get the bots working on decated server

first you will need to make a client server load the map and resave the waypoints I did ctf_2fort

it will make 3 files

ctf_2fort.rcd // main waypoint file
ctf_2fort.rcv // Visability file
ctf_2fort.rcw // waypoints I think for engies maybe

now copy the files to your folder

rcbot2\waypoints\orangebox\tf


make a bot config file to auto load bots

sv_cheats 1
bot -team red -class Sniper -name snipe
rcbotd control snipe
bot -team blue -class Medic -name med
rcbotd control med
//sv_cheats 0

place the config file in your tf\cfg directy the same one your server.cfg is in

then just rcon exec bot.cfg

hey Cheeseh are there engi telport waypoints I want to rewaypoint 2fort also can I make the bots reaction time a bit faster?
