Hey, im using non metamod rcbot for NS3.0 and when i am aliens the marine bots wont build. if i enter the command rcbot config marine_auto_build 1 they at least make an ip but then they do nothing. there is no marine in the command console. Can someone please tell me how to fix this as i would like to play as aliens against some GOOD marines. The marines just run and attack as they please.
Thanks,
Steven

oh.. yeah they can't command. Because there is no API in NS code to let bots build easily.

Yes. The bot aliens are suppose to build everything on thier own but the marines require a human commander. Maybe you can convince a friend to take the comm even though your friend leading the bot marines into battle is going to loose against human aliens. tongue.gif

Ya, ok, but....i was playing ns_siege007 as a marine commander and the idiot aliens never built res towers, so they never changed into better guys. I'm sure there is waypoints, but they are really stupid. THere is a marine command for autobuild and i was wondering if there was a command similar for aliens

I'm sure they are the right waypoints, as the bots seem to find their way around (to the enemy base) and I look and saw the waypoint file for the particular map ns_siege007

Honistly, siege maps are troublesom for bots because all the hives and res nodes are all in one small area so the bots generally don't venture out to much. Also the space limitations for dropping hives and res are so close that sometimes you can't build anything normally and this could cause the bots to get stuck in a "trying to build but can't" loop.

My suggestion would be to add more ailen bots and give them some more time to build. I have seen them get 5 res, 2 hives and all upgrades but it doesn't always happen.
