Yes, I have been waiting for this for a long time!

Yes, I have been waiting for this for a long time!

Be warned, windows explorer will crash if you try to extract. Move the files instead.

Why does this have a lot of errors when I try to install? It will not install to the correct directory

This is my error code:

Finally, the installer only installs to half-life deathmatch, even though I only have TF2

[Cheeseh]

This is the error code while running , not while installing

It's still using the old Rcbot DLL. please DELETE your old RCBot2 DLL and VDF from each mod before install.

This will only work for the latest steam version.

If it installs to another mod ok, you can just copy the files in addons in the mod it installed to okay into the mod you want to install, then extract all the metamod dlls from the install zip into addons/metamod/bin

The installer will always break halfway through (fail to extract all the files) , so here are some manual instructions:

1.Download the latest version of metamod source from the official website (metamodsource.net). All downloads can be found in the green "Downloads" box. I use windows, so I would download MMS 1.10.6 Windows

2. Extract the addons folder in the zip to your game's root directory ( in the same folder as maps ). Merge if you already have one, and replace ALL files.

3. Now, download RCBot2 1.0 from this link (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rcbot2/)

4.Open the RCBot_1_0.zip and you will get three items: a "files" folder, GPL.txt, and the broken installer. Ignore everything except the "files" folder.

5.Open the files folder and MOVE the rcbot2 folder to a directory of your choice (Windows explorer will crash if you extract/copy).

6.Move rcbot2meta.dll into the "addons" folder you created in step 2

7.Download my rcbot2.txt file:  rcbot2.txt ( 89bytes ) Number of downloads: 2419


8. Replace PATH with the directory where you have put the rcbot2 folder from step 5, but keep the quotations. Save the .txt as .vdf (My rcbot2 folder is located in "C:\Users\Matthew\Documents", so I would delete PATH, leave the quotations and put C:\Users\Matthew\Documents in the quotes)

9.Use the launcher to activate RCBot2. The launcher can be found in "rcbot2\launcher". You have successfully installed rcbot!

[Cheeseh]

Thanks for the manual instructions

as for the installer did you extract everything into a temporary folder before running the installer exe?

[genmac]

Haha LOL at steam non sense updates hehe the cycle never ends but glad Cheeseh beats it again!!!

And finally RCBOT is officially version UNO!!!

[BlueCheese]

Thanks for the manual instructions

Yes, I had to move all the files, because windows explorer would crash otherwise. Halfway through the installation process, the installer would run into an exception error.

[BlueCheese]

This update changed a lot of things... new features...

the installer requires you first to extract everything then run installer.exe (Maybe that's the problem)

[Nightc0re]

ok great. please checke hookinfo.ini settings for Linux

I've added some smaller changes for Linux and tested the new plugin with HL2:DM and DOD:S.
The bots are working fine (although the aiming in HL2:DM is mainly targeting other bots, instead of waypoints).
However, for TF2 the server is crashing instantly after a bot/player joins.
Probably wrong offsets. I will look into this problem, today.

A sugesstion: has anyone ever tried doing an entire team of rcbots vs a team of tfbots? Do it on a fair and even gamemode like koth or cp.

Same targeting issue until I edited the bot_mods.ini for dods.

# EXAMPLE MOD FILE# valid mod types

# valid bot types

steamdir = srcds
gamedir = dod
bot = DOD

[BlueCheese]

What does weapons.ini do?

[dgesd]

Great job!

But in DoDS I keep getting error (I don't know why it happens)

CODE

BADNESS! Tell Matt that the weapon " tried to draw with a null model ( 0, 0, not alt )

which appears almost always and everywhere. After the errors, the game appears a message
"You got an error, check your console".
In tf2 bots always wear two hats (World Traveler's Hat, and Human Cannonball), snipers with the bow shoot without the pre-emption and without regard to the target range and soldiers don't use their
banners (maybe I didn't notice).

But still this is a big step forward compared to the version a year earlier. Good luck and all the best.

this is a problem with DODs in general, perhaps with metamod, you can check the dod:s forum

This is a problem of DOD:S. Valve is aware of this problem (and they are currently fixing it).
To disable the pop-up message, go to options > multiplayer > advanced > deselect auto-help > press ok > apply > ok.

I was going to think at Cheeseh)
Thanks for help.
