Using .cfg files to change bot setup Options

[DNA.styx]

Anyone try to do this on a dedicated server?

I would like to have the option to kick all bots, return the bots, make all bots snipers etc without having to restart the server, or even the map.

Default setup
my config.ini file includes

CODE

rcbot_addbottime 5
rcbot_bot_quota_interval 5
rcbotd config min_bots -1
rcbotd config max_bots 10

All the bot profiles have team = -1 but have their class set.

I've got a plugin that restarts the map when all real players leave in the hope that it will reset everything back to default when the next player joins - as I'm planning to have these .cfg files available to be voted for my non-admins.

I've created a vote_rcbot_kick_all.cfg that contains

CODE

rcbotd config min_bots -1
rcbotd config max_bots -1
rcbot_bot_quota_interval 0
sm_kick @bots

and a vote_rcbot_return_all.cfg that contains

CODE

rcbotd config min_bots -1
rcbotd config max_bots 10
rcbot_bot_quota_interval 5
sm_kick @bots

All the above seems to work well. So far so good.

The next option I wanted to create was a sniper only server. I was hoping a .cfg file like the below would work.

CODE

sm_kick @bots
rcbotd addbot 3 2
rcbotd addbot 3 3
rcbotd addbot 3 2
rcbotd addbot 3 3
rcbotd addbot 3 2
rcbotd addbot 3 3
rcbotd addbot 3 2
rcbotd addbot 3 3
rcbotd addbot 3 2
rcbotd addbot 3 3

But some non-sniper bots mange to sneak in before the rcbotd addbot command(s) do
Here's the console log when I run the above .cfg

I also note that restarting the map doesn't return the bots to thier 'default' profiles.

Anyone tried this before? Any obvious bugs in my setup/logic?

DoDs Equipment wasn't too tough....spent more time tidying up the default .cfg file and using that as a template. Works very well. Have spun up a default, sniper and rifleman only .CFGs , added them to a custom vote menu...now let's see if anyone uses them.

BTW some of my RCBOT .CFGs above were bad which was causing strange results, I was using min_bots /max_bots and rcbot_bot_quota_interval .

I found that too, made my own default sets
