--To complete--

Waypoint Files

These are stored in steam/steamapps/<email>/rcbot2/waypoints/<steam folder name>/<mod name>

There are 3 Filetypes

rcw
The main file type is <mapname>.rcw, this is the actual waypoint, and is all you need to share waypoints

rcv
This is generated by the bot, it generates a visibility table so bots know which waypoints are visible from other waypoints, this is useful to find cover positions

rcd
This is generated by the bot, and gets quite big, about 4MB, each, this is used to generate the distances between paths so bots know what paths are shorter than others.

How to Waypoint

Waypointing should be done on a listen server, that means a server you create by yourself while playing the game. And you should be the only person editing the waypoints. The bot doesn't really support having extra people helping you waypoint, as waypoints will not be displayed to every player.


Waypoint Commands

rcbot waypoint on : shows the waypoints

rcbot pathwaypoint on : shows the waypoint paths when you stand next to a waypoint

rcbot_wpt_pathdist : sets the automatic path generation distance, reduce this in complex areas

Drawing method
rcbot waypoint drawtype 1, is the more advanced waypoint editing mode, this shows waypoint angles, and radius'es

rcbot waypoint add : adds a waypoint to the current position you are at

in 0.7 there willl be a new filetype called rcb

rcb is a just an array of stored memory for the bot. It keeps a record of how much danger is at each waypoint for each team. When a bot is added it will read this data for its team, when a bot leaves it will save the data by averaging its data in the file.
