yes. Just extract everythingm then run installer.exe

most likely cpu causing the problem. You can reduce the cpu lag by reducing pathticks, visionticks and visionticksclients in each bot profile, but will cause bots to be less responsive

Oh ok, btw http://imgur.com/7aBNBK1

Maybe I can help, I just reinstalled steam and some games, but I did have a couple minor problems with the rcbot2meta installation.

Like Cheeseh said, if launching from steam directly you must have -insecure in steam launch options or a shortcut, for listen servers, rcbot won't start without it outside the launcher. The launcher is located inside the \rcbot2\launcher folder, if the installer did not work for you, just make a shortcut to it.

I had the same problem with both installers, a fatal exception error, but my dialog box was a .net error. I'm using winXP sp3, with .net 4.0.30319.1, which may be to old? So I did a manual install, mostly following bluecheese's manual instructions in the rcbot 1.0 topic. If you use the launcher and set the path to the rcbot2 folder correctly, and launch from the launcher, it will create the rcbot2.vdf for you in the metamod folder (step9 of his instructions). You can actually skip steps 7 & 8 of his instructions. After that you can launch from steam if you have added the -insecure flag to launch options.

Also there needs to be a metamod.vdf to start metamod, which does not seem to be included, unless the installer adds this?

Anyways, follow bluecheese's instructions in the other topic, and it should work. You can skip steps 7 & 8 and go directly to the launcher and set exactly where the rcbot2 folder is located, from inside the launcher. Be sure to include the rcbot2 folder in the path or it won't work. This is a problem with step8 of his instructions, but if set correctly in the launcher, it will fix the problem (it rewrites the rcbot2.vdf).

Bots won't join automatically until setting bots up in the launcher, but you can test once inside a map by typing rcbot addbot in the console (~)... Then you can go back to the launcher to configure everything the way you want it... Or using minimum & maximum bots in the launcher is an easy way to test too...

In that link you gave me, I have a rcbot folder, but with only folders and nothing else; no launcher or anything, just a folder called launcher.

the installer requires the extracted files from sourceforge!!!!

redownload the rcbot2 files from sourceforge

http://sourceforge.net/projects/rcbot2/fil..._0.zip/download

then extract, replace Rcbot2installer.exe that you extracted with the one I put in the link in this thread

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/downloads/rcb...t2Installer.exe
then run the installer --

NOTES!!!!
  • the installer is just an exe it doesnt have files inside it!!!
  • The files are inside the rcbot2 zip, you must extract them first!
  • The installer just places all the files into the correct folders.
  • The launcher will be placed in the correct folder by the installer.
  • The installer will run the launcher automatically when the install is successful

Yes, it works offline, the installer is for a listen server (single player play on the same PC it is installed on). If you have a LAN, your family members can join & play too. You don't need metamod:s or sourcemod if you use 0.96 or older. You don't need a dedicated or rented server either... Use the installer from http://rcbot.bots-united.com/... The installer supports TF2, HL2:dm and DOD:s... Sorry for the confusion, and have fun... smile.gif


I think part of the mystery with installing is that Steam keeps changing the program folders. I ran RCbot back when it was first out, great bot. I've been anxious to get back and play with it again but when I install steam and then TF2, my folders are all different this time. I don't have a user folder, I have a common folder with team fortress 2 and Borderlands 2 in it. But, the paths are not the same as before, this is confusing but again, not because of the bot install.

Edit - clearly things have changed. Disregard my post. Installer works fine

Do you know how to install it now? Since I don't know how to install this new one, because you have to add bits of code for it to work apparently. Hopefully, someone can help out and the fans of this mod can enjoy it once again! smile.gif
