<B><U><P>Servers </P>
|
||
|
|
</B></U><P>If you plan on playing this on a <B>LAN</B> or other with real players,set <B>bot_free_clients 1</B> or more and check maxclients ,this is why when real players try to join they get fov 00000000 error, it's similar to server is full msg I believe your trying to take over a bots body so its saying fov error.</P>
|
||
|
|
<P>Also you can use the ctf team commands to even out bots vs. players,but I haven't tested those alot, so they</P>
|
||
|
|
<P>may cause problems.</P>

|
<B><U><P>Bot Guarding</P>
|
||
|
|
</B></U><P>- To stop bots from flag guarding, type <B>bot_melee 1</B> before the map loads,also <B>bot_melee </B>will allow</P>
|
||
|
|
<P>bot L3 sentrys.</P>
|
||
|
|
<B><U>
|
||
|
|
<P>Lamer Guard</P>
|
||
|
|
</B></U><P>- You must now have <B>bot_allow_client_commands 1</B> to use any bot commands,like botpause,redflag,ctf_item,,</P>
|
||
|
|
<P>make sure if your running a server, to check <B>bot_allow_client_commands </B>and make sure its set to <B>0</B>, its default</P>
|

<P>is 0 but you may have left it 1 while editing settings/routes....</P>

<P>Bots.cfg</P>

|

<B><U><P>While making route tables:</P>
|
||
|
|
</B></U><P>- <B>Avoid all Teleports</B>, that are behind trigger_hurts, Those glass like shields you die from if your on the wrong team like in 2fort7,the bots don't know enough not to use them, some maps may not work at all ,I've only tested a few.</P>
|
||
|
|
<P>- You can always download the older wf maps before the triggers were added</P>

<P> </P>
|
||
|
|
<B><U><P>General</B>:</P>
|
||
|
|
</U><P>If you don't want bots running over a dropped flag until the flag return timeout, set
|
||
|
|
the <B>zoid_flagcap</B> option in the wfserver.ini file. This turns on the ability to return
|
||
|
|
a dropped flag - otherwise the bots hover over it trying to return it.</P>
|

<B><U><P>4.2 </B></U>check your settings in wfserver.ini, too </P>

<B><P>Make sure you read the readme.txt file it explains all the commands you can use...</P>

<P>The more bots you run the more chances you'll get <B>overflow and netchan errors</B>,if your getting strange error messages try typing </P>

<B><P>bot_chat 0</B>...</P>

<P>NOTE:</P>

</B></U><P>Please don't email me. I'm no longer coding WF bots for public use, for the time being. If you have bugs/suggestions for bots, feign , freezer gun, WF, or need help not covered by this doc, email the WF programmers. Hehe besides 8-9 months of all my free time have gone into WF and its time to break for a week or two. Think I'll relax with some mapping :)</P>

</B></U><P>To place a special node, type <B>ctf_item item_sentryspot or ctf_item item_depotspot</B>,you can do this without turning node calculation back on, if you've already routed a level.</P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<P>xxxxxxxAlso make sure you give the nodes enough room away from walls and other nodes for a sentry or depot all the way around it,to see the nodes type <B>bot_debug_nodes 1</B> before you load the map,this will turn on a model and also allow real players to use the node for testing...xxxxx I guess with gl and 3dfx you'ld see while diamonds so this wont work,so now ,snode models will always be visible.Hey someone give me 3dfx:) hehe</P>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<B><P>If this is done on a existing route file</B> and you have other items you've placed with ctf_item ,make sure you dont screw up placing these or you'll have to do clearitems and startover,because the bots may get stuck trying to place a sentry in the wall......until some radius check can be added,best thing to do is backup your route file...</P>
