The Definitive Guide To Botting NS 2, A tutorial on getting it all working |
param1: #(param2: 123
param3: Right, after all the problems i've had getting bots working (my own fault) I thought i'd write this to make sure no-one else has to go through what I did =)
NB: This tutorial is aimed at Win32 users - if you run linux, then i can almost be certain that you know what you're doing anyway
Firstly, you'll need the latest version of RCBot, which can be obtained from here
If that doesn't work go here and look for a link.
[Edit Cheeseh] If using RCBot 1.01 download this : http://www.rcbot.net/downloads/rcbot_new/dlls.zip after installing the bot as it fixes bugs in metamod [/Edit]
I'm using metamod for my setup, (which allows for the use of plugins/other bots like whichbot)
Get the latest version here - once again, if that doesn't work go here
And if you haven't already got it, NS v2 might be a good idea, have a look for mirrors here
Let's get NS2 installed, if you already have it installed and have been playing around with it, installing bots or whatever then removing & reinstalling will make everything clean. After you have a clean install of NS2, the latest ZIP of RCBot should be decompressed into your half-life folder, (eg. C:\Sierra\Half-Life\RCBOT\.)
We now need to install metamod. Start by creating a directory in your "Half-Life\ns\" folder called "addons" then another within that: "metamod", and finally "dlls" within that. Should look something like '...Half-Life\ns\addons\metamod\dlls\' Now open the metamod.zip file, and extract metamod.dll into this directory.
To tell metamod to load RCBot, we have to create a file named 'plugins.ini' in the 'Half-Life\ns\addons\metamod\' directory. Mine looks like this:
CODE |
win32 ../rcbot/dlls/rcbot_mm.dll |
CODE |
gamedll "dlls\ns.dll" gamedll_linux "dlls/ns_i386.so" |
CODE |
gamedll "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll" |
CODE |
// gamedll "dlls\ns.dll" // gamedll_linux "dlls/ns_i386.so" gamedll "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll" |
CODE |
bind DEL "rcbot bot_menu" |
CODE |
win32 addons/whichbot/dlls/whichbot.dll |
CODE |
win32 ../rcbot/dlls/rcbot_mm.dll win32 addons/whichbot/dlls/whichbot.dll |
CODE |
wb balance on |
CODE |
rcbot addbot 1 |
CODE |
wb balance on rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 1 |
CODE |
exec addbots.cfg |
CODE |
win32 addons/metamod/dlls/ArmouryHeal_MM.dll |
