No drivers for weird hardware sort of thing. I use it now for some things and we use it at work for all kinds of things. I even use FreeBSD and it's not bad at all. If I get the time I might grab the current source and see if I can complie it but I have lots of things to do

I haven't spent a TON of time, just the last few days, but would it be possible to have a config options like such:

CODE

rcbot config bot_fill_server_to "#"

Where # is the number of total players that you want the bots to bring the server TO.

So, if my server is empty, and I start it with that option set to 10, then 10 bots join the server, bringing it to 5v5 (if you have it set to balance teams).

Now, if a person joins, one bot leaves after they join a team (not until they join a team, though).

With this configuration, you always have a 5v5, and can use the bots as a populater(is there such a word?) to START filling your 30 person server. Personally, I prefer the company of other people, and just would like to have the bots as a starting point to fill the server with normal people.

I thought that config max_bots should work this way, but it doesn't seem to . . . I'm going to fiddle with it a bit more, but they never seem to leave once they've entered, unless I use the menu to kick them out

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 3 Joined: 28-July 05 Member No.: 607	If I set min_bots to 1 or higher, it would add 1 bot and stop . . . . What I'm basically asking, I think, is for real_mode to be working hehe

Yeah, I just finally figured out what was bugging me . . . not sure if it's a bug in the leave code or what, but . . .

NORMALLY the max_bots setting does the trick perfectly when mixed with balance_teams . . .

But there's an occasion when you can end up, by adding or some such, with more bots than the max_bots #, plus extra player, and the bots won't leave . . .

But I think I finally figured THAT out, too

Anyway, rcbot totally rocks. A couple notes, though: bot_users.ini is read, and parsed (this is from console):

CODE

RCBOT>] Reading Bot Folder
RCBOT>] Found Bot Folder file : ns\addons\rcbot
RCBOT>] Added: name="", pass=*, accesslev=63, steamid=STEAM_0:1:3******
RCBOT>] Added: name="", pass=*, accesslev=63, steamid=STEAM_0:1:1******
RCBOT>] Added: name="", pass=*, accesslev=63, steamid=STEAM_0:0:3*****
RCBOT>] 3 users added to list of RCBot users

Then:

CODE

rcbot users showusers
[RCBOT>] Accessing debug commands : detected dedicated server
[RCBOT>] name="", pass="*", accesslevel=63, steamID="STEAM_0:0:378060"

Only returns the last listed entry . . .

But if I do this:

CODE

rcbot users adduser [tSC]AcidBurn76 32
[RCBOT>] Accessing debug commands : detected dedicated server
[RCBOT>] Gave [tSC]AcidBurn76 access level of 32
[RCBOT>] [tSC]AcidBurn76 Message : You have been authenticated

Then a showusers:

CODE

rcbot users showusers
[RCBOT>] Accessing debug commands : detected dedicated server
[RCBOT>] name="[tSC]AcidBurn76", pass="***", accesslevel=32, steamID="STEAM_0:1:3******"
[RCBOT>] name="", pass="*", accesslevel=63, steamID="STEAM_0:0:3*****"

But I still have to add every user except the last one listed in the bot_users.ini file . . .

I've got a very easy workaround, though - just gonna write an amxx plugin to give anybody with ADMIN_CFG or ADMIN_LEVEL_A certain amounts of access to rcbot . . .

If you had a command to say rcbot removebot 1/2/blank for random then I'd write an amxmodx script to manage the number of bots on each team, and even write commands to setup alien 16 vs. marine humans, etc . . .

Anyway, but yeah, max_bots seems to work correctly, so long as you don't change the value to something lower (someone has to join before any bots will leave, that's what I couldn't remember)

Yes, well sort of. You can open a menu on listenservers, there you can kick one bot at a time or kick all bots at once or add bots on the fly. You just type the console command:

CODE

rcbot bot_menu

I believe this menu works for dedicated servers as well if you have rcbot admin access.

For example, in the server.cfg you can put "rcbot addbot 2" to force a bot on to the alien team. However everytime the map changes (mapchangefile = server.cfg) you get another bot. If you could have something like rcbot removebot rcbot addbot 2 You'd get a new bot on the alien team every map change (not an addional bot).

Are you using the server.cfg to add bots on map change? That's a bad idea. Here is another thought. Instead of using the server.cfg, use the rcbot/map_configs/<mod of choise>/<mapname>.cfg's to place bots on map change. It's much more reliable this way. Or if you have amx or amxx, you could use the amx/config/maps/<mapname>.cfg's method.
