Hi all, Just letting you know I have retired the older 2019 dodbits RCBot2 installer.

There were too many issues with the 2019 installer, also Steam desktop shortcuts are broken and Steam registry... is behaving badly when players move a game to another drive.

October 2023... new links as dodbits.com upgraded and some links broke.

There is a new 2023 installer now.
https://www.dodbits.com/dods/index.php/down...cbot2-installer

There is a new dodbits guide and that has a RCBot2 FAQ and help section (dod:s listenserver only)
https://www.dodbits.com/dods/index.php/day-...eat-source-bots

The Steam community guide for RCBot2 got a complete re-write today.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/file.../?id=1757780901

The dodbits RCBot2 support page that gets you lots of custom maps and waypoints... has now changed (September 2023), there is a new list of waypoints and links to map packs and individual map downloads.
https://www.dodbits.com/dods/index.php/dods...d-map-downloads

Just a refresh of the content and found quite a lot to make it an easier install than the 2019 set in the sticky....
http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index....=&st=&#

dodbits.com has a dedicated section for RCBot2.
https://www.dodbits.com/dods/index.php/dods/rcbot2-for-dod-s

In that section, I have new articles.
Investigations into the problems with the profile editor...
https://www.dodbits.com/dods/index.php/dods...iles-exe-editor

A deep look at the config.ini and the commands in it, what are they and how that works for DoD:S.
https://www.dodbits.com/dods/index.php/dods...erver-cvar-list

A look at making bot profiles manually and again looking at each command and the range of values.
https://www.dodbits.com/dods/index.php/dods...-files-manually

Finally a complete guide for installing a dedicated server using a old PC for a local LAN party.
That includes RCBot2 set up, SourceMod, admin and some example plugins you may want to consider installing.
It's almost complete at the time of writing this post...
https://www.dodbits.com/dods/index.php/dods...ome-with-rcbot2

There will be a further download for running the same mods on a listenserver. I run RCBot2 with Sourcemod, 30 bots, 10 or so plugins and ...no crashes.

There is a dedicated RCBot2 downloads section now on dodbits.com.
https://www.dodbits.com/dods/index.php/down...d-s-other-files


Hope all that helps.

Some of these maps are really good (only looked at 6 so far)... My favorite is dod_montagne, an excellent looking map, and great work on the waypoint... I also like dod_storm_b4. You have really put out some quality waypoints in a short time. Some late nights I suspect... wink.gif

No late nights. I'm on leave at the moment and by early 2024 I'll be retired from the working class.

Yes, those maps really needed waypoints, they are from a couple of servers where they are in the map cycle.
I can see why.

dod_montagne may get an update soon, if so I'll redo those.

I have pressed on with a Waypointing tips article on dodbits.com....

Starting to add YouTube videos...
The Playlist for the old Sturmbot and RCBot2 are here... https://www.youtube.com/@INsanedod/playlists

Newest video for RCBot2 is here... https://youtu.be/V3iM0fNimcI?si=Zz2BVDJgYXl096GK

More soon.
