Hello fellow RCbot2 users. I have a few dods custom maps I would like waypointed and I just can not figure it out. For the life of me its so dang confusing . If someone would waypoint them for me I would be willing to pay for it. I run two DODS dedi servers using the RCbots and they are the cats meow ! The speedup plugin was the icing on the cake ! They are something this game needed eight years ago . I have said before I wish there was a donate button to click for all this hard work . Add me on Steam as My_time . If no one has time I understand as from what I tried to do to I see it is rather time consuming . Thanks .
Just post download links of the maps and I'll try waypoint some totally free of charge hehe.
Thanks both of you . Here are the links dod_sniperfarm http://www.dodmap.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=26&func=showdown&id=1198 dod_suron_map4 http://www.dodmap.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=26&func=startdown&id=609 dod_snow_bridge_beta2 http://www.legion-condor.de/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=112&view=summary&cid=10&catid=2 and dod_snow_map http://dods.gamebanana.com/maps/18699 . I hope the links work. I will send Cheeseh a P.M. to see if there is any way I can help him. Edit: his inbox must be full so I sent him a e-mail. If I could I would like to add you guys to my steam friends. If not I understand. Mine is just like here MY_time_! . 2nd edit : Does this link still work ? I see its rather old . https://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=248612
Hey My time,
Since I'm on slow-mo dialup, I only get on steam about once a month ... But I can add you to my friends, my steam name is same as here, madmax2.
Looks like you got the donation link from the bottom of the rss feed thread? It looks good, so long as that ntlworld email address still works, and lets him know he has some $$$. I also found these on his rcbot2 sourceforge pages...

These might be older? The first one is also an ntlworld email address...
btw, I do this for a hobby & a way to give back to the community. In a way, you are already doing that with your game servers, so thanks for that. If you want to, you could give credit to this site (rcbot/forums) on your servers motd, for the bots. Maybe some of your players will decide to join the forums here?
I'd like to check out your servers some time , but it will have to wait until I go over to a friends place, he has broadband internet...

Tnx for the links.
Will do sniperfarm may be tonight. I'm kinda rusty at waypointing so it might take a little time hehe.
edit...
Ok tried wpting the map but bots can't open the doors. I can fix that by deleting all the doors or make them pushable if possible. Editing the map will also kill some HDR textures or lighting so you need to turn that off.
If that's ok to you let me know so I'll continue working at it.
I think it's about time to ask Cheeseh to add a use type wpt for doors that needs the use key to open.
Will work dod_suron_map4 for the mean time.
Cool! I'm sure Cheeseh will be more inspired to make more improvements to the bot.
I'm working on suron now tnc god no doors hehe and much easier to wpt but the snow is too bright for me i can't see the wpt connections so had to to really turn down the
brightness way lower than it could.
Ok here's suron wpts...it's very basic but it will do for now I even ran out of wpts for this but I will optimize the wpt further soon.
---link deleted....reason...crappy wpt hehe!-----
Now checking ..dod_snow_bridge_beta2...
Thanks Guys. Every one is loving the new map ! I had a problem with it crashing the very first time it came up in the rotation. After looking at the error logs it was the team balance plug in doing it. Removed the plug in and everything has been all good now. Cheeseh I wish I could of sent more ,and will later , but the company I work for decided to lay everyone off for the whole month of Dec to save the company money. What scrooges .

dod_snow_map.rcw
Enjoy hehe!
Such a fun map and a total deadlock on balanced players so I just overwhelm either team by a big ratio like for example 2-4 VS 16 and enjoy the spectacle but allies seems to defend their position much longer on that ratio.
dod_snow_map wpt is fully done with snipers, mg's, defend wpts, etc all the good stuff in place so just check it out if I missed something or any further improvements you might like for it.
Btw if you use the speedup plugin make sure to adjust the sv_gravity a little lower like 500 or 600 so axis can jump off the bunkers much smoother and faster.
Wow, that was quick, genmac... Great work on the snow_map rcw. Bots look to be all over the map... I'll give it a play tonite...
That suron map is like blinding bright snow, I can see why the pathways are so hard to see... Maybe thats why the wpts are so close together, heh heh? Did you have to wear sun glasses to wpt it?...
Happy Holidays,
max
hehe yeah LoL! I use a lighting plugin (map_lightstyle.smx) for that since mat_monitorgamma can only go as high as 2.6 (darker). It help soften up the glare making the snow look better and a little greyish or else it gonna be really hard to see those connections hehe.
dod_suron wpts is Just a warm up wpting work reason why it's so noobishly done LoL!
I've fully re-wpted it already after finally discovering where the freakin middle flag was located.
It used up all 1000+ wpts just to make sure bots dont' get bump on an un-wpted area and loose their bearing
and stay still.
Could have been easier if autowaypoint was working and auto path distance can't go above 500 I think so I really had to manually connect the last remaining wpts.
Anyway all the maps except sniperfarm are now fully wpted much more professionally so to speak hehe.
Doing some final touches on them and tnc god to speedup plugin making play test a breeze for
this spacious maps.
There seems to be a plugin for just about anything! I guess you find most of them through allied modders?
Haha yeah I meant suron geez their all 3 snow maps I got confused lol!
The scoring bug on snow_map I think is a mapper's error since those can be tricky to set up but can be fix
or use a plugin for that and yeah SM plugins are catching up compared to amx mod x tnx to those coders/scripters at allied modders. I might try learn how to do this so I can edit my fav plugins the way I like as long my brain won't fry up yaiks!
The autowaypoint is unknown command when I hit it. It's listed on the rcbot command list but it ain't working.
Is this the right way to use it?
rcbot autowaypoint on
or
rcbot waypoint autowaypoint
if their auto placed too close to each other it ain't good for wide open area maps. Some option to adjust that should be added.
I think Cheeseh should adjust the max wpts to like 2000 I think or make the auto path max distance go beyond 400 like at least 1000.
Anyway will wait for the rcbot update before continuing work on sniperfarm, those god forsaken doors LoL!...total bot hazards as well for me haha! but once the bot can open them it shouldbe fine.
All snow maps fully wpted, just go here...

Tnx!....and Merry Xmas! ;-)
Thank you so much for all the hard work!!!! I cant say enough . Getting ready to download and try out the other waypoints. Again everyone loves the Suron map but I am still fighting something causing it to randomly crash. It is not leaving anything in the SM error log after I removed the team balancer plug in. So far it has not crashed in 2 days but before that it crashed 4 times in one day. I will keep working at it so its all good. Would love to see you guys stop by the server to see your wonderful bots in action. Well again thanks ! Also would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year !
