apdonato's TF2 Way(point) Too Awesome PACK beta v0.1, a collection of improved waypoints for official maps in TF2 Options

[apdonato]

To start with, I love RCBot2... the creator, Cheesah, has done a great job coding the bots and making customization and waypoint editing possible, and fairly easy to use if your willing to put some time into it. After spending many hours with the mod in the most recent versions (0.63, 0.7, 0.71), I noticed above all how flawed so many of the waypoints were. Some waypoints, most notably from Fillmore, assface, and Geralt, did a respectable job, but others are flat out unfinished, lacking proper scripts, and somewhat sloppy.

Keep in mind this is a community project! Many of these waypoints where not started by me.

My goal is to:

-clean up existing waypoints (remove unnecessary path connections to improve CPU performance)
-add more paths that previously haven't existed
-script fixes
-fix bots such as engineers from getting stuck in spawn and on the map in general
-add sentry, tele, sniper, double jump support for every map
-basically, make everything EPICER in general

As well as to make support for more official maps that don't have any support yet.

I've been working on waypoints for awhile now without releasing anything and I feel at this point its time to release some of my work. These waypoints are far from complete, as many still have bugs and unfulfilled additions, so this is an early beta version of the pack in general. Some maps that I will note later are pretty much complete.

So feel free to leave me feedback and criticism on maps you find issues with. I do extensive play testing myself but I'm sure some bugs may slip threw the cracks, even on my so called final editions.

Every waypoint included in this pack is in working order but will have issues.

Enjoy! check for updates, and give me feedback!

I've currently stopped my work on waypoints until RCBot2 is updated, as the constant crashing has gotten on my nerves.

Good idea, there needs to be more community based updates

As for crashing it would be good if we could get some more people to debug by building the bot on their machines and running on their servers

do you mean dedicated servers? or just plain old listen servers? unless there is some in-depth debug mode for the mod that can give me some log when it crashes, i'm not sure what I could do on my end..

i have noticed i number of things whenever rcbot2 crashes:

1. always when bots are spawned (the mod has NEVER crashed through the many hours of just waypoint editing)

2. it pretty much crashes just as frequently with 12 bots as it does with 24 bots, meaning its a.. collective issue?

3. I notice when an engineer bot gets stuck in a spot for too long and I come over and kill it, i get a crash

4. I noticed a few crashes that might be related to spy bots sapping something

-----------

anyway, thats all the info i can give for now

The red team on dustbowl with these waypoints are waiting in their spawn all the time; completely buggy.
