RCBot Beta 0.51, only with scripting for cp_dustbowl, cp_badlands, cp_granary Options

[Cheeseh]

please see,

https://sourceforge.net/projects/rcbot2/fil...ta.zip/download

I basically need people to try this, and work with new waypoints and make scripts for their waypoints.

See http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1235 about scripting.


Basically need MORE waypointers, scripters etc before it can be really useful, and a lot of feedback.

0.51
- supports latest classless update
- supports capturing on KOTH maps
- supports capturing on ARENA maps


0.5
- readded an 'altered' bot belief waypoint system
- fixed a general crash
- fixed an engineer building crash
- rcbot waypoint cut
- rcbot waypoint copy
- rcbot waypoint paste
- performance command rcbot_visrevs (default 8, 8 maybe good enough) *REDUCED VALUE*
- performance command rcbot_pathrevs (default 40, 20 maybe good enough) *REDUCED VALUE*
- new "areaonly" waypoint type
- new rcbot waypoint drawtype 2
- added scripting for CP/PL maps (currently supported: cp_dustbowl/granary/badlands)
- PLR support
- added profiling for developers (rcbot debug profile)

Using RCBot2 0.51 with TF2 for a dedicated server on Windows, without Steam is painful.

You should manually create a .vdf, because if you use plugin_load, if resets the map to nothing.

Then you need to figure out the correct install folders, because all the install guides are for a Listening Server, or Dedicated Server in Steam.

Once you finally get it working, the bots do not follow waypoints. They do see you and shoot at you (through the spawn point wall), but they don't move.
(This link helps with both above problems, but these should be added to the documentation: http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index....showtopic=1139)

The team and class in the addbot command are also not working for me. Everyone ends up as a Sniper on the RED team. Names do work correctly.
The bots don/t move/stand still and some turn around and back and around and back.

Any config, server or other info that would help you to help me with the issue?

This is my 'addbots.cfg' file that I run after the server has started to try ot figure this issue out:
sv_cheats 1
rcbotd addbot 3 0 [Bot]ChuckNorris
rcbotd addbot 3 1 [Bot]VinceOffer
rcbotd addbot 1 0 [Bot]LeeroyJenkins
rcbotd addbot 1 1 [Bot]KeyboardCat
rcbotd addbot 4 0 [Bot]StarWarsKid
rcbotd addbot 4 1 [Bot]MrT
rcbotd addbot 6 0 [Bot]GaryColeman
rcbotd addbot 6 1 [Bot]WilliamShatner
rcbotd addbot 9 0 [Bot]PedoBear
rcbotd addbot 9 1 [Bot]NumaNumaGuy
rcbotd addbot 8 0 [Bot]TubGirl
rcbotd addbot 8 1 [Bot]StrongBad
rcbotd addbot 2 0 [Bot]ChocolateRain
rcbotd addbot 2 1 [Bot]BertIsEvil
sv_cheats 0


Edit: Quick note, I also tried multiple maps and tried getting updated Waypoints fro mthe site. No change.
I tried to enable waypoint debugging, but it causes the server to crash.

Thanks,
Derek



***Update: Fixed my issue using Filemon
Found out that the bot_mods.ini was pointing to the wrong waypoints folder. It was pointing to "rcbot2\waypoints\orangebox\tf", but all the new way points were in "rcbot2\waypoints\team fortress 2\tf".
So I moved them all to "rcbot2\waypoints\orangebox\tf", and the bots work.


Now to post feedback on the bots:
1. Enemy players should not see/shoot disguised eenmy spies all the time.
2. Would be nice if engineers upgraded things.

***Update: Fixed my issue using Filemon
Found out that the bot_mods.ini was pointing to the wrong waypoints folder. It was pointing to "rcbot2\waypoints\orangebox\tf", but all the new way points were in "rcbot2\waypoints\team fortress 2\tf".
So I moved them all to "rcbot2\waypoints\orangebox\tf", and the bots work.
Now to post feedback on the bots:

2. Would be nice if engineers upgraded things.

You need to add a wait command in between the addbot commands, that is why all your bots are snipers.
This is a little explanation for you from my server motd info.

RCBots cannot attack sentries very well. If you want your bots to advance it is
up to you to take out the sentries that are killing your team's bots.
RCBots can indeed upgrade sentries.
RCBots can only detect spies~
- when they are cloaking
- if they are disguised as the RCBots themselves
- if a player screams Spy! and they are in the vicinity
RCBots cannot be bonked.
RCBots fall 2x times faster.

If using a dedicated server then the waypoints will be going into a diffeerent folder rather than the usual waypoints/team fortess 2/tf folder. Check your rcbot2/waypoints folder and look to see if rcbot2 automatically generated a folder for you (which isn't called teamfortress 2/tf) and move all the waypoints into it.

When is the next update?

Do you think you could do something like rcbot squad menu based on voice commands from real players?
Like, they will follow and help you attack if you say 'Go Go Go!' ?
Just like how the medics sort of heal you when you scream 'Medic!'
I think the medic should heal more often than he shoots right now. Is there a way to make healing a higher priority for them? =X
If you were to make an update would the waypointers have to redo all of their waypoints or is it possible to update the things like sentry+healing handling without effecting the waypointing?

Is it possible to use the megahal and skill profile options to make better/worst players in this version? (and to make them chat?)

I would like to donate....

waypoints dont have to be remade,they only have to be modded if the waypointed map is altered in a way that bugs the bots in that map.
