did you set max_bots ?

it wont add any more bots more than max bots

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.

Member Group: Members Posts: 29 Joined: 9-March 05 Member No.: 509	Yeah, that's how I do it normally. I looked at the code for that menu, but didn't see how it could be useful for my purposes. 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.

(Most probably the min_bots setting doing no good)

DarthSailor	Aug 23 2005, 03:32 PM Post #142
Member Group: Members Posts: 29 Joined: 9-March 05 Member No.: 509	I'm having a hard time controlling the number of bots on my server too. I have max_bots -1 and min_bots -1. As mentioned though, bots get added for some reason. I'll try putting "rcbot addbot 2" in the rcbot\map_configs\... for every map in the normal rotation, but I have 288 maps available to the server and making a config file for each one would take too much time. Ideally Cheeseh, I'd like to have it so there's one default alien bot on the server until a fourth remote player joins, at which point the bot would leave. I also would like players to have the ability to add and remove as many bots to the game as they like. In the past I've kind of accomplished the first part by having max_bots 2 and min_bots 1 (I run an HLTV server which counts as one player). The problem here is that if someone comes on the server and wants to have a game with 5 bots, they can't because of the max_bots. I really hope you'll be able to sort this out for the next release Cheeseh. You've got a great product here.

DarthSailor	Aug 24 2005, 01:52 AM Post #144
Member Group: Members Posts: 29 Joined: 9-March 05 Member No.: 509	Heh,heh,heh.... No, I have a total of 288 maps available on the server. So with rcon or possibly amx_mapvote any one of those could be picked, but there's 32 in the mapcycle. I made waypoints for co_blackmesa, ns_siege007_v2, ns_orbital, and a few others. Don't know if I should post them or not.

You could have asked. I've waypointed those already and many others.

I had a hard time with the Observation hive, so I'd like to see how you handled it. Last I heard Cheeseh was having some trouble with the upload permissions or something on this page http://rcbot.bots-united.com/waypoints.php?sort=date. Would it be possible to have some sort of ordered list like this in the forums? Maybe it already exists and I just missed it?

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 6 Joined: 3-March 05 Member No.: 503	When I am running rcbot on ns 3.0.5. For some odd reason when I start attacking the bots, everything starts to lag. Any idea why? It recently started happening, after Steam updated. edit: After playing around, the same lag problem happens with Whichbot. I think this problem originated from the newest release of the Windows Dedicated Server.

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 6 Joined: 3-March 05 Member No.: 503	Not sure about that. I tried it out on a couple of other servers using bots. One out of the 3 servers I tried did the same thing. (Probably because the other two didn't update.) Since Valve doesn't force updates on servers. x.x
