playing NS maps with bots only Options

[CountTakeshi]

hello i like the rcbot its a pretty good bot
i got NS a few days ago and cant really play it online got dial up so my ping is around 300s and makes this game HARD

so i got bots
there fun i been playign them on COMBAT maps
because i cant play NS maps with out being the commander the marines just all die and the game ends i want to be aliens on these maps

so is there any way to get the bots to be a commander or do somthing so i dont gotta be the commander or is the possible ???

if not i guess im stuck on COMBAT maps i like NS maps better though (the bots upgrade faster and there turrets and things)

any info would be cool


good work on the bot anyways

marine_auto_build

but i cant get it to work???

i type

rcbot config

in the console and it saids it got an error how do i get that command to work ??

thanks again

type "rcbot config marine_auto_build 1" in console without quotes if you know what I mean, the command will make an IP when the game starts, you need bots/players on both teams first for it to work I think and also there has to be waypoints on the map near the CC.

Or you can setup marine base for your bots with IP/s, armory and minimal defenses and then switch teams. It's what I do when I want a little alien practice.

the marine_auto_build dont work im not sure if waypoint by any CC so i check on that


i can just do what sandman said i was doing that a little bit last night thanks for replying my message

I have tried the marine auto build command in the past while loading rcbot from metamod and have never been successful with it, although, some say it "does" work. It did work when running rcbot without metamod though. Maybe that's the key?

[CountTakeshi]

oh it did? im running it with metamod just so i can have hivemind with it but that is cool i might just try it with out metamod i rased the bot skill a lot and they seem to be kicking butt so i dont think i need hivemind any more

i just got done playing a game it was pretty fun the bad thing is my NS maps some times randomly freeze im not sure why but i will live i guess

thanks for the new info

ok ya i got that to work but my NS maps freeze a lot i dont really know why they dont freeze right away its just completely random?? and it really sucks got any idea i will post any info u need to help me?


i got it i know why the freezes on NS maps
i reinstalled NS just seeing if it would do anything and every time i attack a marine when i start the level it freezes i dont know why though





[FIXED]

This is just food for thought but back with WON, you could use a local info command in your shortcut target line. What this does is loads another dll file before the mod.dll. I have no clue if this still works for steam but you can give it a try.

Right click on your ns desktop shortcut and select "properties". You should see something like this in the "Target:" line....

hmm i see i have it running and sence i got the new verion the right one it runs much better

before the bots just were more dumb and stuff but the new version is much smoother and it does not crash i was having a blast last night
