I know that the bot will not work properly when using "plugin_load", ive had people having problems with the bot loading it using that. You are better trying to get it to work using the .vdf file. its simple. Create an addons folder (if not already existing) in hl2mp folder located in your dedicated server and half-life 2 deathmatch directory, and put HPB_bot2.vdf in it. It should load.

calm down man, have a coffee. I spent many many hours yesterday getting it to work on the dedicated server per your request, and yes I did try it and it worked fine.

rcbotd command only works in the dedicated server console (go into dedicated server console then use this command)

rcbot command only works on the client (only for clients in accessclients.ini)

remember there is a seperate folder for the dedicated server as I told you before, you need to put the HPB_bot.vdf in the source dedicated server/hl2mp/addons

also rememebr "addons" not "addon"

it will not work for the dedicated server if you only installed the bot to halflife 2 deathmatch folder and not the dedicated server, which is what I am guessing you have done

it worked with me, therefore I tested it and it worked, so it should work with you, obviously you missed that step in the installation.

did you type rcbotd in the dedicated server console??? I am guessing you didn't thats what I made the command for, not for the client. What you are doing is trying to access the RCbot dedicated server command thorugh a client which cannot be done. You need to go into the dedicated server console, either by using remote console, or by selecting the dedicated server window and entering rcbotd <command>. you can then use "rcbotd config max_bots <max bots>" in the dedicated server and the server will add bots automaticall and stay at the maximum number of bots

whats going wrong is...

you are getting confused with the client and server. When you join a game and play thats the client, you cannot use rcbotd command on that console, thats why it is saying "Error, no map running or not dedicated server". Similarly, you can only access the rcbot command through a client if the STEAM_ID is written in the accessclients.ini, to find the correct steam ID, connect the server and type "status" in the client console, find your correct steam ID from that, it will most likely be STEAM_ID_LAN if it is a local server.

The server is the source dedicated server console, which can be accessed through "rcon" (remote console) or directly in the dedicated server console, It should create a window for the dedicated server and it has a console tab in the window.

rcbotd only works for me as it shouldi n the dedicated server console, see below

after joining on ded server:

[Mladen]

You are absolutely right!!!I was using the clients console instead of the green one!!THANKS ALOT!!!!

CHESEEH is THE KING!

Now for the max and min bots how it works?? I type in the green console rcbotd max_bots 5 and nothing hapen......


Mladen Thanks again for your good work....

[Cheeseh]

rcbotd config max_bots <bots>

[Mladen]

its

rcbotd config max_bots <bots>

Oki!! NOW for the none custom map....can i learn the bots waypoints?

Oki!! NOW for the none custom map....can i learn the bots waypoints?

you will need to make your own, its the same as rcbot1, you need to use the client however thus you should try and get the accessclients working by putting that steam ID (found using the "status" command) in accessclients.ini in rcbot/config/. when you get access to bo commands, using the client, add a waypoint using "rcbot waypoint add" Etc (most are in the readme)

rcbot waypoint <on/off>
rcbot pathwaypoint <on/off>
rcbot waypoint info
rcbot waypoint delete
rcbot waypoint givetype <ladder/jump/crouch/unreachable>

there are also more commands but you may not need them.



It may not work very well though as I said the bot is not even in the release stage, it is just a preview, a build of the framework source code that is available, nothing else.

[Mladen]

So i load a map then i type "rcbot waypoint add"..then.....(in client console) My steam id is there in accessclient its ok for thath...
