I'll just point out this one

IPB Image

steamdir should be 81.19.212.34_27015

i.e.

mod = DOD
steamdir = 81.19.212.34_27015
gamedir = dod
bot = DOD


note that you must also make these two folders in rcbot2/waypoints

i.e.

rcbot2/waypoints/81.19.212.34_27015/dod

and put all of the dod waypoints in there or just rename the dod waypoint folder to point there

Oke got this done:

steamdir should be 81.19.212.34_27015

i.e.

mod = DOD
steamdir = 81.19.212.34_27105
gamedir = dod
bot = DOD


note that you must also make these two folders in rcbot2/waypoints

i.e.

rcbot2/waypoints/81.19.212.34_27105/dod

and put all of the dod waypoints in there or just rename the dod waypoint folder to point there

------------------------------------------------------------------

Only when i restart my Dods Windows server no bots apear. Sadly.

Is my config correct:

# RCBot2 Config generated by RCBot2 Launcher
rcbotd addbot 0 2 bob
rcbotd addbot 0 3 bob
rcbotd_defrate 0.19
rcbotd_skill 0.60

rcbotd addbot 0 2 bob
rcbotd addbot 0 3 bob


don't use addbot in config , use max_bots

for example:

rcbotd config max_bots 21

will keep 21 bots (including players max)

Hey DAAS,

Did you try using the HPB_Bot2o.dll instead of the HPB_Bot2.dll, I think that may be part of the problem. Most dedi users use plugin_load instead of the vdf, so that may work best (remove the vdf if you change, don't do both)? Also, "rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods 417" won't work from the rcbot config.ini on dedicated servers.

Load RCbot2 with either the vdf (change vdf to HPB_Bot2o.dll) or manual start with plugin_load "..\bin\HPB_Boto" in console. In console enter rcbot_runplayer_cmd_dods 417, then start a map. If max_bots is set in the config.ini, bots should join, if not, you can try "rcbotd addbot" in the console to see if a bot will join (it won't hurt to set sv_cheats 1 just before adding bots). Check for any console errors from [RCbot]...

Also, I don't think prefixing the convar's in the rcbot config.ini with "rcbotd_" is needed or correct. Change them back to "rcbot_".

See what Claw99 did here to automatically start the bots...

One thing you have to keep in mind too is that dedicated server will boot the bots if no one real player is in the server.

I had to write a plugin to call a single addbot command after the map loaded. Then the max_bots config would kick in and add the rest of the bots.
