General Manual nonsense below......

Public release!

Note that this release is much bigger in size than the previous due to PNG FILES!!!! and installer programs etc to help novice users.

Also note that this release hooks to the engine to work properly. This solves many problems that the past rcbot had, but it may create problems in the future, for example TF2 updates may change the engine. For that reasons, if the bot crashes, keep up to date with the website at:
http://www.sourcemodplugins.org/vtableoffsets
and keep the rcbot_runplayer_cmd updated to the latest PlayerRunCommand offset number for windows (the linux offset is added automatically in the bot if the windows offset is correct) At this time of speaking, the offset is 416 for tf2 and DOD:s

Installing
You can use the RCBot2 Installer.exe to install and run the RCBot2 Launcher, from there everything is easy. However if you run in to problems you can install manually

Manual Installation
Copy the rcbot2 folder from ‘files/’ into your steam folder / steamapps / <account name> folder ; where account name is the name of your steam account

Running
You can use the RCBot2 Launcher to run RCBot2 automatically however once you have loaded the game with the launcher you need to create a server to create a game

This version of RCBot 2 uses a hook into the game engine to make bots move properly in TF2 and DOD:S. To do thid, the bot needs to know, in memory, where to hook

This is held in the variable rcbot_runplayer_cmd

The rcbot_runplayer_cmd value must be the same as the latest version of the mod, found here: http://www.sourcemodplugins.org/vtableoffsets

If you experience crashes try changing rcbot_runplayer_hookonce to 0 or 1 or vice versa

Manual running
If you want to run RCBot2 manually, just enter the command line in the modification of your choice in Steam

-insecure +plugin_load “..\bin\HPB_Bot”

Then create a server

Warning! If loading manually, make sure you don’t already have a VDF file with rcbot2 automatically loading. Otherwise RCBot2 will be loaded twice and strange things might happen!

Adding bots
Rcbot addbot <class> <team> <name>

If you want to add a random bot by using a bot profile, just type

Rcbot addbot
