Installing For Dummies, FFUUUUUUUUU Options

[detroit matt]

Sorry, I'm sure there must've been a dozen threads like this already, but I can't find ANY documentation or help on how to install rcbot2 for tf2. At least, nothing I understand.

I downloaded RCBot2_051_Beta.zip to C:/downloads
I extracted it to c:/downloads/RCBot2_051_Beta
WHERE do I put the files inside?
"c:/program files/steam/steamapps/John Doe/team fortress 2"?
"c:/program files/steam/steamapps/John Doe/team fortress 2/tf"?
What does each part do? Do I need HPB_Bot2.dll anywhere? Does everything go in the same place?

Just to clarify, inside c:/downloads/RCBot2_051_Beta is

• rcbot2
• ScriptingNotes_files
• HPB_Bot2.dll
• readme.txt
• ScriptingNotes.htm
• update.txt

For clarity's sake, I'd appreciate using the John Doe example when answering. Hopefully this'll be clear enough that it'll stop more idiots like me from making new threads.

Well in the readme I put instructions, dont know if u understand them but it should explain what youre looking for,

TO INSTALL please...
--------------------

1. put the DLL file into steam/steamapps/<email>/Team fortress 2/bin
2. put the "rcbot2" folder (inside the zip) into steam/steamapps/<email>
so that you now have a folder called ...steam/steamapps/<email>/rcbot2/...

If you are using a dedicated server, use the generated bot_mods.ini file in the rcbot2/config folder
to setup the location of the MOD. E.g.

TO INSTALL Waypoints...
-----------------------

1. Put the .rcw (and .rcs) file into rcbot2/waypoints/team fortress 2/tf/
2. If you are using dedicated server please first of all run the bot and it will create a folder
inside the waypoints folder related to your game, find it and put the waypoints in it.

1. put the DLL file into steam/steamapps/<email>/Team fortress 2/bin

2. put the "rcbot2" folder (inside the zip) into steam/steamapps/<email>
so that you now have a folder called ...steam/steamapps/<email>/rcbot2/...

Something must be wrong, for I have the folder and the .dll in the correct place according to the readme and your post, but whenever I try to load RCbots in TF2, I get:

Unable to load plugin "../bin/HPB_Bot2"

I have the RCbot folder in:

c:\program files\steam\steamapps\***@***.net\

I have the DLL in:

c:\program files\steam\steamapps\***@***.net\Team Fortress 2\bin

Thanks a ton. Do I need scriptingnotesfiles or scriptingnotes.htm? Where'd you get this info from?

it depends where the working folder is, you could try
plugin_load "HPB_Bot2"
or
plugin_load "bin/HPB_Bot2"

and play around with it, if it is definitly in the "bin" folder it should find it eventually

Scripting notes are for waypointers , not really for everyone's eyes. The info is from the readme.txt
