WORKING WITH LATEST TF2
Hi everyone, I've made a workaround for RCBot with the latest (legal) TF2 please try it out, with any comments. http://filebase.bots-united.com/index.php?...view&id=450 Also has anyone got my latest waypoints ? I lost them. (The waypoints with the areas + tele entrance waypoints/defend waypoints) Notes:

Sounds good mate - I'll give it a try now.
Also, could you please make it so you can't earn achievements or stats from bots? It's basically cheating. Or at least add someway to turn it off or on - or does sv_cheats already stop it from working? |

Hi,
Just downloaded RCbot with the .dll updated to work with Scout Update. Now, i could load the plugin properly and play it on ctf_2fort but when I type rcbot addbot the bot spawn but do nothing. I think this is a waypoint issue but why it don't load the waypoint. I install everything properly as in readme. Any solution? btw, I'm using {psy} since this is my second computer and I only fight bot. This appear in in console: Loaded plugin "../bin/hpb_bot2" maxplayers set to 24 Adding master server 72.165.61.189:27011 Adding master server 69.28.151.162:27011 maxplayers set to 24 Network: IP 127.0.0.1, mode MP, dedicated No, ports 27015 SV / 27005 CL Level "ctf_2fort" has been loaded exec: couldn't exec skill1.cfg Executing listen server config file clientMax is 24 [RCBot] Making an accessclients.ini file for you...

Before trying to add the bots, you need to open up the console and type:
sv_cheats 1 |

Cheeseh,
I've been playing around with the bots, and is it possible, if you get the time, to fix/do the following; - Scouts Double Jump too early - they do their first jump, then do their mid-air jump too quick. You would need to add a delay between the first and second jump. (The bots can't make it from the battlements to the top of the bridge on 2Fort, for example.) - Make Engineers get rid of Sappers from their sentry, dispenser and teleporter if the engineer is within a certain radius (quite large) of the gear getting sapped. - Make soldiers rocket jump a bit higher, if possible. - Make it is if a 1 bot is already waiting for the enemy intelligence to re-appear, then no other bots will wait there. Or make it so they don't wait for the intel to appear at all. They're just a few of the annoying this I found with the bots. |

Kinda weird since they 'taunt' when the round started but do nothing afterward. EDIT: Don't know if this anything but I got this when I type into console ] rcbot addbot 3 [RCBot] No bot profiles are free, creating a default bot... [RCBot] bot added (4)RCBot connected I'm using RCBOT 4.2 Alpha btw. |

I put 'HPB_Bot2.dll' in C:\Program Files\Team Fortress 2\bin while 'rcbot2' in C:\Program Files\Team Fortress 2
The name of each bot is 'RCBot' so I suspect the profile can't be recognized. Do I need to modify the bot_mods.ini? |

You could try bot_dontmove 1 and see if that does anything to the performance, but I doubt it, Actually I did those but the bot don't move even a little bit.

Also for the latest version to work properly, you must have enough bot profiles and have them stored in the correct place, i.e. in steam/steamapps/<email>/rcbot2/botprofiles
or add a bot like this rcbot addbot <class> <team> <name> and make sure no bots have the same name |

I guess this is because my hl2.exe is in C:\Program Files\Team Fortress 2 so actually there isn't a above folder. Btw there is another 'bin' folder in C:\Program Files\Team Fortress 2\tf. Btw, my version is Alpha 0.4.2 as you're link directed. Btw, good job for beating Omni-Bot to it |

Btw, good job for beating Omni-Bot to it Omni-bot's bot is pretty much finished Dr. Evil is just using a special build of TF2 to get it working which valve hasn't released to the public so he cant release it. At least that's how I understand it. |

At least that's how I understand it. Yeah I know. Even Dr.Evil use the word 'beat him' as the problem actually lies on SDK Vaalve don't want to release for fear of piracy like CSS. but I think they forgot about cracked server Btw, I already solve the rpoblem. turn out RCbot folder is put directly in C:\Program Files\ while the .dlll in C:\program Files\Team Fortress 2\bin. Duh! My suggestion is that Medic work more closely with HGunner. |

Only CTF maps for the time being. Ah ok. Well it really keeps me occupied. So Geralt so do anything improve on ctf_2fort yet? While ctf_turbine is quick on action. bot in ctf_2fort is kinda slow like scout don't do double jump to jump to the roof. Anyway, when is the other ctf waypoint going to be release? |

Well I have been cleaning and 'fixing' the ctf_2fort waypoints over the last couple of days, when I get the time. They are looking quite good so far. The Scouts can't double jump on top of the bridge until Cheeseh fixes the scouts double jumping. So basically - my waypoints will make it 'easier' for the bots to move around on, and it shouldn't require as much CPU power.

The bots work good (:
Haven't tested them for more than 15 minutes. I noticed that the sniper bots sometimes just stand in scope mode, and look at the wall (2 bots were looking at the same spot). A medic bot was shooting? with the needle gun, but there weren't any needles coming out (he had ammo, just the weapon was shaking). Didn't see a bug in speed (am i right, or you fixed it). Was offline for a while, and can't find out what has changed since the last time i tested the bots (version before the scout update/cmd's added etc.). Tested with legal and with non-steam |

So Geralt, it sound good. So when release it? Can't wait for it! and KeReMiD4O, the sniper stuff hapen to me too!
Got suggestion although I think the bot interaction is already quite solid now. I know cheeseh is very busy but hopefully some will be fix in a couple of release so everyone could enjoy it:) Suggestion: General Bot Issue -Play in cp_gravelpit but bot won't capture point. Any update to make it work on cp anytime soon? -Bot in ctf_turbine will try to get a health pill near the briefcase entrance despite can't double jump -Bot should not taunt in fire fight area -Bot especially pyro should check for presence of Spy like firing when someone enter/leave enter Intel room -Bot say Spy! when saw Spy use electro-sapper -Each round in ctf should last longer with bot more ruthless. For example in online, engineer concentrate on sentry and it is quite a surprise to win the round in 30 minute. With bot, it only take 10 minute to win the round. -Bot will automatically change class if the class they pick not work very well (maybe change after 3 death unless it is a Engineer or Medic which change less frequent) -Sometimes bot will fire at wall for no apparent reason and kill themselves like Soldier/Demoman -Bot shoot at the door (which can open/close) even when it is close as in ctf_turbine Specific Class Issue -Engineer should cooperate with one another rather than blindly attacking enemy (minimize firefight for engineer). Engineer should blow up their sentry if it got no kill after 8-10 minute and place it elsewhere. -Medic should not follow-heal another medic unless to their health go down. Medic also should not enter firefight but concentrate on healing other -Make Demoman use sticky bomb effectively -Scout should become a 'pest' like shoot-and-run rather than direct shooting -Sniper should fire more accurately(headshot) and faster (in ctf_2fort, they should act like in online play when it's hard to go in te open when they in the roof) -Soldier should not fire rocket close to them -Spy should use electro-sapper Btw, why RCBot is not promoting this particular bot? It’s very enjoyable but no one seem to notice yet.I only know RCBot when Dr.Evil said about this RCBot beat his Omni-Bot (he got PCGamer review even before completion). I think you should send a link to some TF2 website so everyone could try it. I'm thinking posting this bot in some forum which I'm active in. |
