How to install for Sven co-op 5.0, The game is free on steam! Options

[DreadedGhoul575]

Since I've played tf2 with the rcbots (which are fantastic), I wanna see what the rcbots are like in this game. Trouble is, I don't know how to install it to this game. Any help?

Appreciate it,
Matt

Looks like we all will have to wait for a fix. It's crashing with the latest dll's... ...

I can update the installer once we have a good dll...

Oh right. It's my first time playing this game, so I ain't fully sure on how to play. Also, can you spectate the bots? What maps do they work on? etc.

They work on all maps, provided you made waypoints for them.

There was talk of adding spectator mode, it's not in the mod versions, I'm not sure if they added it to 5.0 yet or not? What I do is use the rcbot cheats to fly around.

rcbot util notarget_mode
rcbot util godmode
rcbot util noclip_mode

Rcbot does have a behind view camera mode that I use to locate lost bots, it's cool but it's not good for normal spectating.

As for maps, there are tons of waypoints, but most are for older maps. If you look in the svencoop waypoints forum, I can say all the waypoints posted there since 2012 (except maybe nm_moria?) work good with the mod version of SC. There may be some issues with sc5.0 maps, like the half-life 1 single player maps, and some others...

If you don't want to wait, and if you have half-life 1, you can still play the mod version with the bots (sc4.8). There are still a few maps that don't have wpts tho. There are some maps the bots don't work well on, like turretfortress and ctf-warforts, so I did not release the waypoints I made for those maps. Some of the newer maps have complex gameplay that the bots can't do yet. I think they could do ctf-warforts, if cheeseh could add some ctf code and pvp mode to sven, they also attack friendly npc's on that map... They mainly can do walkthrough, horde/arena type maps, atm...
