Help with Linux Dedicated Server RCBot2 Installation, Please Help Options

[macgyver]

Ok, I rent a TF2 Linux Dedicated server and am trying to get RCBot to work on it....haven't had any success yet.

What I have down so far:

#1. I have uploaded the rcbot2 folder to the server as below:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My Folder Tree:


orangebox/bin/
orangebox/rcbot2/
orangebox/hl2/
orangebox/tf/

Is that correct?
------------------------------------------------------------------------

#2.I have placed HPB_Bot2_i486.so in: orangebox/bin

#3. I had my server rental company modify my startup line as follows:

./srcds_run -game tf -tickrate 66 +ip $GAME_IP +port $GAME_PORT +maxplayers ${SLOTS} +plugin_load ../bin/HPB_bot2_i486.so +map koth_nucleus -console

#4. I then connect restarted the server and connect. Go to console and enter rcon password to login. I then type sv_cheats 1. I then type rcon rcbotd addbot. It says "unknown command".

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong, or haven't done?

Thank you VERY much for your help!

Ok I now have:

hl2/

Is that correct? It still says unknown command when i try to input rcon rcbotd commands!?

[bir3yk]

correct.
see HPB_bot2 load in console?

[macgyver]

correct.
see HPB_bot2 load in console?

No I am not seeing that in server console...

Also:
rcon plugin_load ../bin/HPB_Bot2

"unable to load plugin"


I have HPB_bot2_i486.so in orangebox/bin

anything else I am supposed to do get the plugin to load? that is the right spot for that file right?

bir3yk, if you have filezilla, or other FTP, i could provide you with the connection info if you would be so kind as to take a look at what I have wrong?

Thanks

[bir3yk]

rcon plugin_load ./HPB_bot2

an experiment... I know how to download via rcon. via SSH plugin_load ./HPB_bot2 works.

[macgyver]

Thanks for your help guys! I got it working....however, a few of my bots are not moving?? What could be causing that? Probably just under half of them dont move....but if i noclip into spawn, the soldiers will take out their shotgun and aim at me, but not fire?

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your help!

[bir3yk]

in the console so?

Isn't that correct? Still SOME of my bots never leave the spawn or move?

[bir3yk]

the folder you have?
rcbot2\waypoints\orangebox\tf\

it should copy the files from rcbot2\waypoints\team fortress 2\tf\ or rename folders team fortress 2 at orangebox

[macgyver]

Yes those are the directories that I have.

Seeing that SOME bots are functioning fine, wouldnt that mean that the waypoints are working?? Shouldn't it be something else that is causing a few of the bots to NOT move?

[bir3yk]

Connecting to 109.110.95.33:27020 and see exactly the same work boots I have.

what map are you playing ? Are bots capturing the flag etc?

[bir3yk]

name map?

[Cheeseh]

name map?

yeah, although bir3yk , I joined your server, and you need to update the pl_goldrush waypoints . I put new waypoints in the latest windows zip file, they are much better

[macgyver]

what map are you playing ? Are bots capturing the flag etc?

I have tried 2 fort....and YES the bots do capture the intelligence! Also played goldrush (after I went to bir3yk's server to test) and they attempt to move the cart on goldrush!! However, SOME of the bots simply won't move!

here is an example bot profile I have:

CODE

name = kit fisto
team = -1
model = models/police.mdl
# weapon of choice
weapon = default

and my bot_mods.ini

# enter bot commands to execute

#mp_respawnwavetime 0
#tf_flag_caps_per_round 0
#
# bot_crouch needed for bots to crouch!!!
#
#sv_cheats 1
#bot_crouch 1
rcbot_defrate 0.1
rcbot_visrevs 8

Any ideas why some don't move?

[bir3yk]

ok ... it update, my waypoints old

[Cheeseh]

ok ... it update, my waypoints old

also the script hehe

yeah if you want to play goldrush you need to update the waypoints AND the script, get them from the windows zip file on sourceforge.net

are all bots doing stuff in 2fort?

[bir3yk]

not all but many

[macgyver]

not all but many

I got my rcbot2 directory from the RCBot2_056beta file. These are the latest waypoints right??

So is it normal for me to have a few bots on maps that don't move???


Where do i get the script?? is that the bot profiles?

Also how to make it so certain bots spawn at start of every map?

example:

2 red scouts

2 blue scouts

2 blue medics

2 red medics

3 red heavies

3 blue heavies

How to make it so they spawn at start of every map so I don have to use the console every time?
