Bots only spectating

[neojoe]

I'm running a CS1.6 dedicated server, I've installed RealBot BUILD 2065, METAMOD 1.17, and Realbot : Artificial Intelligence (Win32, EXE). The command I'm using either on the console or thru rcon is:

realbot add 1 1 1 NameMe


I got that from the Progress Thread. I've done this a few times and each time the bots don't join a team they only spawn as spectators. I've even tried to restart the server with no luck. Am I missing something? I've read the forum throughly without finding my answer. Any help?

Is the bot protection off?

Try setting this CVAR as shown below:

mp_limitteams 0

[stefanhendriks]

also try this, when adding bots (and they are spectator), using 'sv_restartround 1' also can get bots joining in (worked for me a couple of times).

thanks, i'll try it and let you know if it works.

cs only allows 11 per team i think

sv_restartround 1 command didn't work. One thing I did notice was that my bot.cfg file gets over written.

Here's what my bot.cfg looks like before:

#REALBOT CONFIG
# Auto-Balancing team off
mp_autoteambalance 0
#Be sure bots can join teams (even when uneven).
mp_limitteams 0
#- Set to 0 for CS 1.5 1 and 1 for CS 1.6
realbot csversion 1
realbot internet 1
realbot internet_interval 10 30
realbot roundlimit 5 15
realbot skill -1
realbot autoskill 1
realbot setrandom 3 5
#realbot forceskill 0 #- Not yet supported with new MetaMod friendly RB cmds
realbot debug dontshoot 0
#realbot min 3 #- Not yet supported with new MetaMod friendly RB cmds
realbot max 11

This is what it looks like after I quit and try to start again:

# RealBot AI Version 1.0
########################
# The new botmenu
##############################
bind "h" "+commandmenu"
exec "wptmenu.cfg"
# Startup
##############################
# wait for 3 seconds
pause 3
# Set Counter-Strike version to CS 1.6
rb_csversion 1
# Auto-Balancing team off
mp_autoteambalance 0
# Be sure bots can join teams (even when uneven).
mp_limitteams 0


To try and by pass this I've put my bot.cfg in my server.cfg file, I replace the # with // in my server.cfg file.


I'm not sure if my bot protection is on or off, how can I check?

Just a side note this is the shortcut I use to start the dedicated server, not sure if this may have something to do with it or not

D:\HLServer\hlds.exe -game cstrike +maxplayers 30 +exec server.cfg +localinfo gamedll "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll" +map de_dust -console

I'd be surprised if your metamod works... The line gamedll "addons/metamod/dlls/metamod.dll HAS to be in your liblist.gam (with \ instead of / for windows)
