RCBot Forums _ Nightc0re's build _ RCBot 2 for Windows and Linux (TF2, HL2:DM, DOD:S) v1.00 r473

Posted by: Nightc0re Jul 15 2015, 03:11 PM

(This is the latest version, for older releases see http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=1967&view=findpost&p=13777)

RCBot 2 for Windows and Linux (TF2, HL2:DM, DOD:S) v1.00 r473

Information

After several weeks of hard work, I've managed it, to compile RCBot2 for Linux.
I've also fixed some bugs, and searched new offsets for TF2.
You can find a complete list of changes below.

I'm using the latest version 1.00 (revision 473) from the SVN repository, so this version might not be a stable release.
However, I've tested this version a lot, and I've not encountered any problems.

I've compiled the libraries for Windows and Linux (debug and release).
Which version should you choose?

Installation

This plugin needs MetaMod:Source (at least version 1.10.7).
You don't have to download it, because it's already included in this package.

1.) Download the complete package for your OS.
2.) Copy the "addons" folder to your "mod" folder.
3.) (Only for In-Game Servers) Add "-console -insecure" to your launch options in Steam.

For HL2:DM the folder structure is "hl2_server/hl2mp/addons/".
For DOD:S the folder structure is "dod_server/dod/addons/".
For TF2 the folder structure is "tf2_server/tf/addons/".

This is the complete folder structure for TF2.

Bot Quota
This version supports an automatic bot quota, based on the human players.

To enable "Auto Bot Quota" set the rcbot_bot_quota_interval to a value above 0 (e.g. 5) (unit is seconds).
This interval is used to check the human/bot player count.

For more information see config.ini.
QUOTE
rcbot_bot_quota_interval 5

For more information about the bot quota see bot_quota.ini.
QUOTE
# Bot Quota Settings
# To use this settings you have to enable rcbot_bot_quota_interval
# Bear in mind, that the bots also count towards the max_players setting

Humans "0" => Bots "0" # This is used for the default bot quota (empty server)
Humans "1" => Bots "3" # 1 Human => 3 Bots => 4 Total Players
Humans "2" => Bots "2" # 2 Humans => 2 Bots => 4 Total Players
Humans "3" => Bots "0" # etc.

You can also use the original bot quota settings.
But don't use them together with the above settings!
QUOTE
rcbotd config min_bots 5
rcbotd config max_bots 30

TroubleshootingChangelog

.) Fixed bug in getNextRoutePoint, which destroyed bot aiming, because of invalid vLook.
.) Fixed reading of files with windows line ending (\r\n)
.) Fixed all offsets for Linux
.) Added "master offset" settings for TF2.
.) Fixed a typo while reading bot configs (visionticksclients -> visionticks_clients)
.) Fixed macro in bot_profile.cpp
.) Fixed consecutive use of "addbot"
.) Added debug messages in chat (rcbot debug chat 1)
.) Added automatic bot quota, based on human players.
.) You can now edit the path of where you have installed RCBot by writing it in the rcbot2.vdf (relative paths to the mod folder are also supported)

great work, though I don't think the metamod version is compatible with DOD:S or HL2 deathmatch at the moment because of the source hooks.

You're welcome.

I have tested DOD:S and HL2:DM, and they seem to be working fine. No error logs and the bots are not doing weird stuff, so I think it might work.
If you want, I can upload the modified Makefiles, and some formatted diff files, of my changes.

Best regards

Edit:
I can check the compatibility of the source hooks, if you tell me what I should test.

Will this version work on a Dedicated server ? I have tried to set this up using the above instructions (Nicely done I might add ) but the bots wont load at all . Have tried both the home and non- home and I cant figure out what I am doing wrong. This is for DODS as I don't play TF2 (just too cartoony for me) . Have set up more than a few servers using .74r2 (for stability ) as any other versions just crash too much.

@Dedicated Server
I've tested it under Windows and Linux, with all three games (HL2:DM, DOD:S and TF2).
Yes, I was using dedicated servers (on Windows and Linux), downloaded with steamcmd (the latest version).
But it also works with "Listen Servers".

@Bots won't load
I've updated my DOD:S dedicated server today with the newest update, and tested it again.
It works flawlessly smile.gif

Without your server log, I can only make assumptions.

1.) First, check if metamod is running correctly.
Type "meta version":
QUOTE
meta version
Metamod:Source version 1.10.4
Built from: https://github.com/alliedmodders/metamod-source/commit/e52d2fc
Build ID: 925:e52d2fc
Loaded As: Valve Server Plugin
Compiled on: Nov 25 2014
Plugin interface version: 15:14
SourceHook version: 5:5
http://www.metamodsource.net/

2.) Check if the rcbot meta plugin is loaded successfully (it should get loaded automatically, if you are using the *.vdf file).
Type "meta list":
QUOTE
meta list
Listing 3 plugins:
[01] RCBot2 (1.0.0.0) by Cheeseh
[02] SourceMod (1.7.2) by AlliedModders LLC
[03] SDK Tools (1.7.2) by AlliedModders LLC

3.) Check if other plugins are running correctly. For instance SourceMod.
Type "sm version":
QUOTE
sm version
SourceMod Version Information:
SourceMod Version: 1.7.2
SourcePawn Engine: SourcePawn 1.7, jit-x86 (build 1.7.2)
SourcePawn API: v1 = 4, v2 = 6
Compiled on: May 30 2015 05:08:16
Built from: https://github.com/alliedmodders/sourcemod/commit/255e2ef
Build ID: 5208:255e2ef
http://www.sourcemod.net/

4.) You can manually load the plugin if you are typing:
"meta load addons/rcbot2/HPB_bot2_meta"

5.) If everything is loaded successfully, you should get this server log:
QUOTE
server_srv.so loaded for "Day of Defeat"
maxplayers set to 24
Server logging enabled.
Server logging data to file logs/L0827002.log
L 08/27/2015 - 00:27:03: Log file started (file "logs/L0827002.log") (game "/home/chris/Documents/server/dod_server/dod") (version "2234230")

[RCBot] rcbot_defrate 0.19
[RCBot] rcbot_skill 0.60
[RCBot] rcbot_anglespeed 0.25
[RCBot] rcbot_avoid_radius 80

6.) You have to edit the bot_mods.ini file. It is very likely that the default steamdir for your game is wrong.
I had to change it to this:
QUOTE
mod = DOD
steamdir = dod_server
gamedir = dod
bot = DOD

7.) You can check the loading of the bot dir, in your server logs:
QUOTE

[RCBot] HL2 MOD ID 10 (Steam Folder = dod_server) (Game Folder = dod) FOUND
[RCBot] Training DOD:S capture decision 'NN' ... hold on...
[RCBot] ... done!
L 08/27/2015 - 00:27:03: All hooks started!
[RCBot] Reading rcbot2 path from VDF...
[RCBot] Reading bot profile "rcbot2/profiles/1.ini"
[RCBot] m_KVs.push_back(name,[RCB]Emotional)
[RCBot] m_KVs.push_back(visionticks_clients,4)

8.) You can check the version of rcbot with this command: "rcbot_ver"
QUOTE
rcbot_ver
"rcbot_ver" = "TF2/HL2DM/DOD:S 0.98 META linux 470 (BUILD Jul 11 2015-00:31:57)"
replicated
- RCbot version

9.) Last but not least. Make sure you use the correct offsets from my first post, because this plugin is strictly using these offsets from the config.ini file.

@Stable
I was running the server for my master thesis, for about 2 weeks, without an single error.
Therefore I think the plugin is stable smile.gif

Best regards

Well its not loading or seeing the .vdf file . I tried both your version I downloaded from above and also tried making one from this thread http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1943 .under meta list I only show meta list
Listing 2 plugins:
[01] SourceMod (1.7.2) by AlliedModders LLC
[02] SDK Tools (1.7.2) by AlliedModders LLC
I have it installed in the folder like this C:\dod_server\dod\addons\metamod\ The files inside the metamod folder are "bin , metaplugins , rcbot2.vdf , readme , sourcemod.vdf . So I don't know why it wont find the VDF file . Everything else is installed right as well . rcbot2 files are in the dod_server folder . bot_mods folder has "mod = DOD , steamdir = dod_server , gamedir = dod ,bot =DOD . Changed the Day of defeat source waypoint folder to dod_server . Something I am missing ?

Do you have copied the plugin to the correct folder?

1.) You need to download this:
RCBot2 v0.98 (r468) - http://www.mediafire.com/download/ywykgmvqtw521b7/RCBot2_meta_v0.98_r468.7z

2.) Then copy HPB_bot2_meta_i486.so to addons/rcbot2. (For Windows copy HPB_bot2_meta.dll)
QUOTE

│ ├── bin
│ ├── metaplugins.ini

│ └── sourcemod.vdf (optional)
├── metamod.vdf
├── rcbot2
│ └── HPB_bot2_meta_i486.so (copy)
└── sourcemod (optional)

3.) The plugin should get loaded automatically.
If it doesn't you can also write: "meta load addons/rcbot2/HPB_bot2_meta"
QUOTE
meta load addons/rcbot2/HPB_bot2_meta
Plugin "RCBot2" is already loaded as 1.

Thanks for the time and quick reply's on helping me fix this. What end up working was switching the HPB_bot2_meta.dll in the rcbot2 folder .What helped figure it out was this in your reply. Quote "If it doesn't you can also write: "meta load addons/rcbot2/HPB_bot2_meta" unquote. In the downloads provided you list a Linux or windows folder . I have windows . Next choice is hl2mp or tf2_dods . I pick tf2_dods . Then you have folders Debug_home , Release_home or Release_non-home . As I was trying to use non-home , that is the .dll I was trying to use . Now by looking at the above quote you list it as "HPB_bot2_meta but the non-home folder has it as "HPB_bot2o_meta" . So I switched it to the home folders "HPB_bot2_meta" and bingo everything worked. Yes I have my rcbot2 files in the game directory , not in the user folder . It still works using the home .DLL .

I'm sorry. It was my fault. What a stupid mistake ...
The file name of the rcbot plugin is used in the *.vdf file.

QUOTE
"Metamod Plugin"
{
"alias" "rcbot2"
"file" "addons/rcbot2/HPB_bot2_meta"
}

As you can see, the file name is incorrect, if you want to use the non-home version.
Completely my fault, I'm sorry for that. Thanks for testing, though smile.gif

Hello,

I recently installed a dedicated Linux server, running centos 6 and I thought it would be nice to host my own DOD:S server, so I installed one using the cmdsteam(?) version. Anyway, after some misfires and some tweaking with my iptables based firewall, I have a server up and runing. I also installed source mod and meta mod and have full admin access. What I need are actual people playing on my server. So I was thinking that it would be nice to have some bots running around because that might help fill up the server. After some looking around and reading some fora, I stumbled across RCBot2. I installed it using the this excellent installing guide by NightCore (although I must say it took hard thinking but luckely I am not afraid of the Linux commandline.)

Long story short; the bloody thing doesn't work as it turns out I have libc.so.6 version 2.12 and the HPB_bot2_meta_i486.so file requires GLIB 2.15. I noticed on Sourgeforge that there are several builds. Is there a version that supports GLIB 2.12 and, if so, which one do I need or how can I find out myself?
Any help would be appreciated,

Liss

Hi Liss,

Thanks for the kind words.

I've downloaded and installed CentOS 6.7 today (just for you).
I've tried to compile RCBot2 using glibc 2.12 on CentOS 6.7.

In order to achieve this, I need this library "libtier0_srv.so" (it comes with the valve dedicated server).
However, this library needs "GLIBCXX_3.4.15".

On CentOS 6.7 there are only these versions available:
CODE
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13

As you can see CentOS is using really old libraries. I've checked other distributions.
The glibc version there is 2.21 and the glibcxx is 3.4.21.
CentOS 6 is still using glibc 2.12, but this library is more than 5 years (!) old.

I've tried upgrading these libraries under CentOS, but with no success.
Maybe you should install a more recent Linux version.

For servers I recommend Debian LTS (Long Term Support).
If you want to stay in the Red Hat Distribution Line, you can also try CentOS 7, it has glibc 2.15.

I'm currently writing my Master's Thesis. Therefore I don't have time to investigate this problem further.
If you don't plan to switch to a newer Linux, I can try to fix your problem after the Sept. 24th.

Best regards

Hi Nightc0re,

Thank you so much for your reply, it's been really helpfull and you confirmed what I already thought: the OS running on my VPS is to old (well, the version of it that is biggrin.gif ), so I decided to upgrade it. My hosting party offers a host of operating systems, both free (Linux and FreeBSD) and not free (Windows). They also offer CentOS 7 so that might be the best choice for me. You say you are writing your Thesis. Whats it about if I may be so bold to ask?
I will start writing mine coming january (Business Administation)
Anyway, many thanks and good luck with the thesis. I will report back in if hit another snag.

regards

Hi Liss,

Thanks for your feedback. Yeah I also think upgrading your OS is the best solution.
Good luck with that. I hope you don't lose too much of the work you've put into it.

My thesis is about "Server-Side Bot Detection In Multiplayer Games Using Artifical Neural Networks".
RCBot is one of the bots I've used during data recording.
This was also the reason why I have compiled this bot for Linux smile.gif

I will upload my thesis to the SourceMod forum.
Because the guys over there provided me with human data, and they would like to see the results.
I can also upload it here, if there is an interest in my work smile.gif

Best regards

Hi Nightc0re,

Well, I am getting there, slowly but surely I am mastering the beast that is RCBots2. Its loads and I can actually load bots from the console. They don't do much because of some minor typo's I guess and I wonder if you could spare a little of your time to help me out a bit. I installed CentOS 7 and saved all the file from the previous installation and it works, so again, thank you so much. I've discovered that starting in debug mode can be very useful and it revealed the following:

QUOTE

The above seems to be pointing to a rxw issue. I tried to solve it (just to test it with a symlink (ln -s) but no avail. Could the problem by in bots.ini file?

You don't need special permissions or symbolic links. You've done everything right.
Linux filenames are case-sensitive. All rcbot files are lower-case.
So you have to start the server with "dod_anzio" as map name.
Make sure you have copied all waypoint files to your 'rcbot2/waypoints/serverfiles/dod/' folder.

A small mistake. I'm sure you will be laughing right now (kind of ^^).

Thank you for your compilework Nightc0re.

I got a problem with your version =(

If a player joins the server the server crashes instant. I tried to change rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods but crashes still occur.

Game is Day of Defeat Source, OS is ubuntu12.04.

Would be very cool if you can give help to ge this working again =)

Thanks in Advance

I had to update MMS to newest Version because of crashing =(

What happens if a player joins with rcbotd addbot before is shown in attachement

Edit2
Attachement too big =( Will write it then:

What jumped at me while writing this: Bot and Player seem to get the same Steamid?

Edit3:
I solved the crash on Botjoin issue:
rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods has to be 417 (regarding to this post: http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1769)

Now to other errors occured: Server crashes if client leaves, and waypointfile for dod_donner is missing (console tells me)

Missing waypointfiles can be fixed I think but what about the crashes if client leaves?

I was testing the bots today on DOD:S.

For me the server is not crashing with an offset of 417.
However, everything else isn't quite working.

I think the new update broke the sourcehooks.
Currently I have no time to look into this problem, because I'm writing my master thesis.

If the server is crashing you can start the server with these parameters.
QUOTE
-console -debug -game dod +log on

This will create a debug.log in your server folder, with lots of information.

You can also use the debug libraries from my package.
It contains the debug symbols, that are also used in the debug.log

Posted by: n0nnie Sep 17 2015, 02:03 PM

I added -debug to startupline and nothing happend. I added -condebug and i got a whole console output. See atachement. Thank you for your reply and good luck with your master thesis

The debug.log gets only created if the server is crashing.
If there is no debug.log it means, the server was not crashing.

I suggest you leave the option "-debug" enabled, and the next time when you disconnect and the server crashes, you should get a debug.log with the stack traces.
Then we will know, which function of RCBot is causing the server crash, and we can fix it.

The general server log is useless, because it does not contain crash-reports (as in the debug.log).
However, thanks anyway.

Best regards

I added -debug to startupline:

The server crashed several times and no log is created. I chmoded 777 the logfolder, I tried to let the server run as root (I know, not recommended, this way I was sure the creation was allowed), but no log is created.

I googled not creating debug.log and found nothing, seems I am the only one with this problem =(

On the other hand, console tells me that a crash dump is uploaded to steam, so there has to be such...

debug.log has to be located under /server/dod/logs or where core file also is? I only got the core file (315MB) but no debug.log

I try to help as much as I am able to, but this debug.log thing is really weird...

Your startup command is correct.
The debug.log is not stored in /server/dod/logs.

It's directly under "server".
During the development of the linux version of rcbot, I got a lot of crashes, here is my folder tree.
QUOTE
dod_server
├── bin

├── dod
├── hl2

├── steamapps
└── thirdpartylegalnotices.txt

The debug.log should get created at the same time as the core dump.
Hope this helps.

Edit:
You can also give me the core dump. As plan B I can also analyze this core dump. It contains even more information than the debug.log.

We know that the error occurs somewhere below executeEvent(..), assumed that the stack trace was not currupted at this address.
I will look into it.

Ok after installing the metamod bots they started crashing after about two map changes. Again while about 3 or 4 players join everything is fine. but if more join the server would crash right after the "so and so joined" . I added this to the start up command line "-console -debug -game dod +log on " and restarted . With in a hour it crashed. Look and see no debug file or core file created. Hmmm ok so the I load the debug .DLL after removing the home .DLL . Brings the server down to its knees . Everything is jumping like crazy but I have no loss or choke . Frame rates are above 150. Still I wait it out . After a little over a hour (4 map changes) it freeze's up like before. Again no debug or core files(yes I am looking in the right place.). So after a day and a half of messing with this I thought it might be related to how the bots leave or reinter a game as real players join. In my config I have "rcbotd config max_bots 20" then " rcbotd addbot" The server is a 24 man server so if I have 20 bots and 4 real players its all good. One more real player joins and a bot has to leave and that is where it crashes. So I remove the max_players command and replace it with "rcbotd config min_bots 15 " I then restart the server . NO MORE CRASHES smile.gif . It means only 9 real players can play at any time but in 30 hours and a bunch of map changes it has not crashed one time . If someone else would try this and report back that would be great. I would still like to be able to get a debug log but I am happy just to get them to run more than a hour with out a server restart.

I can confirm it is related to Bots joining / leaving.

I got rcbotd config min_bots 12 and rcbotd addbot in my config and the behaviour is:

If bots join after the first player, there is no crash till
a) next player joins
cool.gif first player leaves or is kicked
Also bots seem to not have working waypoints, they are running around like chickens in spawn

If bots are in the server already (for example typed rcbotd addbot and joined after that) the server crashes instant.

(Legacy Version)

RCBot 2 for Windows and Linux (TF2, HL2MP, DOD:S) v0.98 r468

Information

After several weeks of hard work, I've managed it, to compile RCBot2 for Linux.
I've also fixed some bugs, and searched new offsets for TF2.
You can find a complete list of changes below.

I'm using the latest version 0.98 (revision 468) from the SVN repository, so this version might not be a stable release.
However, I've tested this version a lot, and I've not encountered any problems.

I've compiled the libraries for Windows and Linux (debug and release, with home folder and without home folder).
Which version should you choose?

Installation

This plugin needs MetaMod:Source (at least version 1.10.4). You can get it http://www.metamodsource.net/.
After you have successfully installed MetaMod:Source you have to create a folder for rcbot2.

Copy rcbot2.vdf to addons/metamod.
Copy HPB_bot2_meta_i486.so to addons/rcbot2. (For Windows copy HPB_bot2_meta.dll)

This is the folder structure.

├── metamod
│ ├── bin
│ ├── metaplugins.ini
│ ├── rcbot2.vdf (copy)
│ ├── README.txt
│ └── sourcemod.vdf (optional)
├── metamod.vdf
├── rcbot2
│ └── HPB_bot2_meta_i486.so (copy)
└── sourcemod (optional)

If you are using the "non home" version, copy the config folder "rcbot2" to your server directory.
If you are using the "home" version, copy this folder to /home/username/ (for Linux) or C:\Users\UserName\ (for Windows).

Here is the folder structure for the "non home" version.

├── steam_appid.txt

├── tf
│ ├── addons
│ ├── ...

TroubleshootingChangelog

.) Bugfix for HL2MP during getNextRoutePoint, which destroyed bot aiming, because of invalid vLook.
.) Fixed reading of files with windows line ending (\r\n)
.) Fixed offset bug (runplayercmd offsets for dods weren't used)
.) Fixed another offset bug (offsets were used before they were loaded from config)
.) Fixed a typo while reading bot configs (visionticksclients -> visionticks_clients)
.) Fixed macro in bot_profile.cpp

Because those bots are realy awesome as metamod plugin...

Thks so many times for yor job !

Hope you'll find a stable version ! All are waiting for !

You can also try to use the hookinfo from http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=2003&view=findpost&p=13821.

Your rcbot2.vdf file should look like this:
QUOTE
"Metamod Plugin"
{
"alias" "rcbot2"
"file" "addons/rcbot2/bin/RCBot2MetaDebug"
"rcbot2path" "addons/rcbot2/"
}

[*] Rename the waypoints folder in your config folder to your "steamdir" name.
For example: "rcbot2/waypoints/team fortress 2" to "rcbot2/waypoints/tf2_server"
[/list][size=3]

My day of defeat source dedicated Server runs with rcbot2 but I get an in game message that says no waypoints

My bot_mods.INI has

Steamdir = serverfiles
Gamedir = dod

I believe the dir structure is the only part i have wrong. My directory structure is as follows: ~/serverfiles/dod

Under the dod/addons directory is the rcbot2 dir from the install tar file.

So complete path to /waypoints from the home directory is: ~/serverfiles/dod/addons/rcbot2/waypoints

What do I have wrong keeping waypoints from loading? Map is dod_anzio and there is a dod_Anzio and dod_Anzio.cpd file in /waypoints/dod

Please help!

Try this:

~/serverfiles/dod/addons/rcbot2/waypoints/serverfiles/dod (rcw files should be in this folder)

And welcome... smile.gif

Thanks! It was two dumb things. I copied *.rcb and *.RCD but forgot the .rcw files! And the dod_anzio.rcw file needed to be renamed dod_Anzio.rcw.... Linux cares about the uppercase a.

Finally working! Now to bind some server commands and get the maplist tweaked!

Thanks to cheesh, nightc0re and all who have helped bring these bots to artificial life!

Does this build still work on Linux?

Posted by: Cinibonswirl26 Feb 9 2017, 02:05 AM

For the Linux build, custom loadouts for bots don't seem to be working. It runs for a little while then freezes

Okay so now it seems like all of a sudden that no other map is working except ctf_ maps. The game crashes instantly whenever you attempt to join a team. I don't know how to find the mstr_offset so I just deleted everything in hookinfo and used the .exe file Chesshhh made to get the latest offsets.

Can't understand what could be the problem - when you do not let players on the server with bots . Prior to that, as if everything worked fine , and then downloaded the version for Linux 473 , filled set and did not let the players . By the way because of the version metamod if another , can be this ?
p.s. the most interesting is that before this set , everything worked, and now put something now does not want smile.gif)
===ADD=================================================
I wanted to ask and what server commands are not desirable for RCbot2 ?
Rather cause bugs and crashes the server ...

Try this latest beta build recompiled by myself. This RCBot2 build is recompiled and uses the latest Metamod Source v1.10.7-dev-961 header files:-

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=1994&view=findpost&p=14501

Also getting RCBot2 setup can be a complicated process. Also you don't need SteamTools Metamod addon as that is only for TF2.

https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=170630

Did you also add RCBot2 into metaplugins.ini? It should look like this:-

CODE
;********* LIST PLUGINS BELOW ***********
addons/rcbot2/bin/RCBot2Meta


And if I assume your main gameserver is named as /serverfiles where the /dod folder is inside /serverfiles like /serverfiles/dod, then your bot_mods.ini should work as long you have this typed up:-

CODE
#
mod = DOD
steamdir = serverfiles
gamedir = dod
bot = DOD
weaponlist = DOD
#


But I am not the author of RCBot2 so you may need to double check in case I missed something out.

And not someone who does not throw off the ready-made RCbot2 kit for Linux , and then he tortured them, like I put an official version, so the bots are already getting stuck like that. Adding waypoints even more.

1. And still where now to take here these parameters runplayermove_dods_win = 418
runplayermove_dods_linux = 419 (interest figures). What is now all so for DOD: s Linux?
And then maybe because of them all the same this happens.
2. And when creating vaypointov, sv_sheets what is all the same 0 or 1?
3. And I would like to know what is the exact order of entering the command for setting up and recording the waypoins for the bots, and then something like doing the correct but sometimes stupid bots. and stand still. I thought, maybe I'm doing something wrong - the order of entering commands or something else ..
And I would like to know the order of command input.
Here is a video from the game https://youtu.be/IkRcrwVxT4Y

and so on a circle ..

with this set of plugins, like everything works. https://pastebin.com/wGMRfnzT
added plugins res.smx,ratechecker.smx,roundevents_ex.smx,savechat.smx. But after capturing all the flags, the server goes into crash.
I have a suspicion of these 2 plugins res.smx, rundevents_ex.smx.Which one of these plugins crashes the server or both, who exactly knows which one of them is crashing the server?
It would be nice in the first message to write a list of forbidden plugins for rcbot2.

Well, it's not clear why, I get an error, but on another server, on the same hosting, the same assembly rсbot2 for worked .. Now it works even not bad ..
p.s. This behavior with and without Waypoints. Sometimes when you upload files, bots like working, and when the "live" player enters the server out of the box, it goes to the crash.

And the fact that he was already suffering with them ..
Added :
I wanted to ask if you write plug-ins on the sourсemod or you can correct the AFK manager?
And then I would not like a big add-on in the form of afk manager for bots, and then on some maps like the way there are some, 1-2-3 sometimes stand still .. With what it can be connected?
And yet, how to off. bots through the config for the card, on which I do not want the bots to work?

and Sorry my bad English !!!
