Hey Cheeseh,

Thanks for the new version, I meant to post this sooner. Please fix the waypoint credits corruption for your next release. This problem here:

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1889&view=findpost&p=12897

It started happening with 0.9. I checked all the dod waypoints with .94 that have credits, and they are all still ok, not corrupted (donner & flash still need credits added). The corruption only occurs after a waypoint save, either a manual save or an automatic save by rcbot (no rcbot temp files exist). So it is possible not to see the problem if the user is only loading waypoints and the temp files for that map already exist.

The corruption also occurs when saving HL2:dm waypoints. Additionally, your welcome message gets cut off and is not centered on screen on HL2:dm. It shows like this:

I had a great time playing dod:s & HL2:dm with rcbot2 & my nephew this last week. My nephew could win HL2:dm against the bots, but I couldn't... They both owned me... man I suck at dm...

Are pyros still shooting flames all the time?

Edit: Alright well pyros don't do the hilarious W+m1 anymore I'm trying to do a few things as soldier against pyro, is it possible to control the distance when it changes weapons and rocket reflect probability? Maybe like a console command?

Posted by: Cheeseh Oct 12 2014, 03:14 PM

you can't change the deflect distance yet or probability, I'll do that for next time!

well i figured out how to waypoint and what you have is actually not bad
much better than valve's bs
if I use jump waypoint on common walkable ground would that mean that the bot will still jump there, like bunnyhopping?
oh and I don't understand how to use profiles. I added a new one, and when I add a bot with class, team and name properties, everything works but the name, therefore I assume it doesn't load that profile?

edit: played around for an hour with pyro bot only, some jedi reflects there
if I can make a few suggestions

1) melee usage when standing near by
2) jumping/strafejumping/bunnyhopping (not sure if this can be done with waypoints already? how to place one?)
3) maybe improve the combat AI a bit. a lot of times it just bumrushes head on (for instance if you take heavy). that would be good if the AI would analyze current player HP (like 50-100), but before that it uses ranged attacks/hit and run?
another good thing would be airblast players away and hit them with a secondary

otherwise keep up the good work

Bloody thing is crashing again for no reason as soon as I add a bot. I don't think I've changed anything

Hey xenon,

Did you see this topic?

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1914

Check the value for rcbot_runplayer_cmd_tf2, should be 418 for windows platform. A recent TF2 update caused the change. Also, there are three additional offsets needed for TF2 now.

Posted by: xenon Nov 26 2014, 06:04 PM

Thanks, that works just fine.
BTW, anyone knows why some bots refuse to shoot unlockable weapons? They work fine with default TF2 bots.

RCbots are programmed to check their loadout by their stock loadout names atm and don't work with non-stock weaponry for this reason.

TFbots don't have this problem, because they're both made by valve and see their weapons in a more generic sense (primary, secondary, melee etc.)

Wow that's too much love on tf2 hehe!
Keep up the good work Cheeseh!
I'm enjoying your bot more than ever!

Valve games....you get tired of them sometimes but their still the best fps games, can't live without them.

I see, but some off-class weapons sometimes...somehow...work...
