It took a while for me to find it and people (like me) may be mistaken into thinking that the release on the files page (labeled latest version) is the latest file available. Would it not be better to have it listed at the top of the files page? Hope that made sense.

I can easily update from the forum, get comments and post my own comments. It should be easy to find is it not? The latest news has a link to it.

I'm waiting for Flayra to release the new version of NS hopefully with ideas I gave him to allow bot commanding and better combat support. I could significantly improve the bots in combat with proper combat stuff. I need to write a new manual in HTML, fully documented before release.

Also tips for good waypointing etc, I'll probably list some things you may not know about waypoints that help bots a lot navigating and prevent getting stuck.

One of you do things like: the general stuff about waypoints, pahs etc and the commands. Each waypoint type and how to use them Waypoint tips and pitfalls etc The bot commands need to be done too, I've started it though.

I made my own waypoint script a while ago that still seems to work well for me but to use this, you have to write protect your config.cfg ( which I would recommend you should do reguardless ).

Just create a new .cfg file and copy this info to it. When in-game, open your console and type: exec <nameofscript>.cfg

CODE

// Tells client that the waypoint system is active
developer 1
echo "RCB Waypoint System [ENABLED]"
developer 0

//Plays on sound
play vox/onset.wav

bind "kp_end" "rcbot waypoint_menu"
bind "kp_downarrow" "rcbot waypoint add"
bind "kp_pgdn" "rcbot waypoint delete"
bind "kp_leftarrow" "rcbot pathwaypoint create1"
bind "kp_5" "rcbot pathwaypoint create2"
bind "kp_rightarrow" "rcbot pathwaypoint remove1"
bind "kp_home" "rcbot pathwaypoint remove2"
bind "kp_uparrow" "rcbot autowaypoint on"
bind "kp_pgup" "rcbot autowaypoint off"
bind "kp_ins" "rcbot waypoint save"
bind "kp_del" "rcbot waypoint info"

rcbot waypoint on
rcbot pathwaypoint on

In case you didn't know, those "kp_" keys are your numberpad keys on the right side of your keyboard and the NumLock key does not need to be on for these to work in-game.

Bind "F12" "RcbotOn" in the config.cfg and put Alias RcbotOn "exec rcbotadmin.cfg; bind F12 RcbotOff" Alias RcbotOff "exec rcbotdeadmin.cfg; bind F12 RcbotOn" in the autoexec.cfg set up rcbotadmin.cfg like that one you have, and rcbotdeadmin.cfg to get rid of all of that Then, F12 will toggle it on and off. I am full of sleeping pills cause i gotta get up early for a lan party tomorrow, so ... I hope some of that is coherent

Actually, I use my "insert" key to toggle the RCB config on/off and my "delete" key to toggle the WB config on/off.

Like this:

CODE

bind "INS" "RCBON"
bind "DEL" "WBON"
alias RCBON "exec RCBON.cfg; bind INS RCBOFF"
alias RCBOFF "exec RCBOFF.cfg; bind INS RCBON"
alias WBON "exec WBON.cfg; bind DEL WBOFF"
alias WBOFF "exec WBOFF.cfg; bind DEL WBON"
