Hi guys.
I have a problem with RCBot2 (Im running TF2). Only a few bots are moving and only when they are a specific class. So only Demomans, Snipers and Soldiers are moving, but also not all. Thats on every map I'm playing. I also made my own map with waypoints, but doesnt work well. Rcbot2 Version: 0.52 (or 0.51 I dont remember) How I installed it (on my own pc): - Moved Rcbot2 Folder into Steam\SteamApps\Account - Moved HPB_Bot2.dll into Steam\SteamApps\Account\Team Fortress 2\bin Is there anything wrong with installation maybe ? - Speed Freak |

I'm actually having the same issue myself (I'm on .53). I've been starting my server with 10 vs 9 bots and there's usually 1 idle bot on one team and 3 idle bots on the other. The class doesn't appear to matter though as other bots of the same (stationary) class are able to follow waypoints. Any ideas? I'm running a linux dedicated server with a class restriction module via sourcemod/metamod. I don't have any class restrictions set.

I solved my problem. The problem was a fast-add-bot script.
I used: alias "cheats" "sv_cheats 1" alias "b" "rcbot addbot" alias "b5" "b; b; b; b; b" alias "b10" "b5; b5" alias "b13" "b10; b; b; b" alias "bots" "cheats; mp_respawnwavetime 1; b13" This would add 13 Bots. The problem is that the first 12 bots are not counting as bots, because the commands run so fast I think. If I try to kick bots only 1 bot was kicked, because the plugin didn't find the other bots. Now I'm just using "Rcbot addbot" to add manually and it's working fine. |

I've tried the manual adding myself to no avail. As I add bots, most will follow their waypoints after entering, but some will not (1 in 7 or so). Doesn't appear to be class or map dependent...spawn in point shouldn't matter should it? |

I just tried 100 and it didn't seem to help. I'm currently starting my server with 6 bots. If I manually add a bot, it's fine. Then I add another...it gets assigned to the other team so I don't know if it's moving or not, but I know that the next bot I add, it'll get stuck. I haven't tried it on all maps, but goldrush and plr_pipeline have the same problem...on the nineth bot. Makes no sense! In running a dedicated server, is there an easy way to see the waypoints? The last I read, I had to start a listen server...which I think to be a local server to view/change waypoints. Is that true? Anyway, thanks for the replies and suggestions! I really appreciate the help. -Chad |

I tried the think command and any of the above debug commands crashed the server after. I ran `rcbotd...` rather than the rcbot. Thanks much, -Chad |

When I try the debug think command I get a list of all debug commands and they all list [can't use]. I'm using the HPB_bot2_i486.so126 listed in one of these forums...supposedly the latest .53 build. |
