Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

Just forget it's a Warcraft 3 FT MOD server and install the bots as if it was a normal server (by hand, that is, to avoid overwriting the already set MOD) and it will work.

You'll have to give us more details in what specific problems you are having if you want more help.

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

Did you try:

Code:

pb addbot

on the game console? If you have it setup correctly it will be enough.

KWo	26-10-2005 20:13

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

Write in console:
meta list
and show us the contents of it. We need to know if You have everything installed correctly. Look also to some latest topics in Common Questions and make for us the same screeneshots (as jpg files) like other people made (with the structure of Your addons directory and podbot directory).

KWo	26-10-2005 23:55

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

Use team menu from AMX MOD X menu ("amxmodmenu" called from console - then item - team player) .

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

KWo	27-10-2005 18:55

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

Didn't get Your question...
You mean - You want to know how to make Your bots harder (they are too easy for You) or what?

M4Best

27-10-2005 21:41

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

yes how do you make them more experienced
and also how you put all bots on 1 team??

KWo	28-10-2005 20:48

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

Well - more experiencer they will be if sPlOrYgOn will have time and he will write them some more AI (;) . Temprary he is extremaly busy and he can't do this. :(
About one team.

Meaning of the parameters is like for addbot command. This command let You fill the server by bots until reaching by podbots+human_players(or other bots):
a) the max_bots value if it is specyfied (different than 0)
b) max_players if max_bots is not specyfied (or is equal to 0)

If You want fill Your server by bots with random skill (between minbotskill and maxbotskill), but as "aggresssive" (and You don't care about their models or team), write this line:
fillserver 101 2
If You want for example fill the server by bots with skill 100, random personality , random team and random model - write this line:
fillserver 100
If You wish to fill the server by bots, but all bots to one team only - then write this:
a)example for T team and skill 90, all else random:
fillserver 90 5 1
b)example for CT team and skill and personalities randomly, model 3:
fillserver 101 5 2 3
The rules are the same for parameters like for addbot command (except 'name' parameter - for fillserver this parameter doesn't exist).
NOTE:

If You want fill server by bots to only one team don't forget set-up game variables "mp_autoteambalance" and "mp_limitteams" to 0.

Note - fillserver it's a command to use it in podbot.cfg. If You want to use it during the game, You need to write
pb fillserver
with the parameters like above in doc - all syntax is the same, You need only add this prefix "pb" without quotes.

[Edit]
to better contsrol Your bots on the server You can use mEAn adminmod bot manager.

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

ok I am running UWC3 saved XP (with AMX MODX) and well I installed the bots, so what happened is the bots ran successfully ( thank you whoever made these bots) and well the UWC3 plugin is not working, when the plugins running is checked it is only reporting the podbots running..what would be the best way to fix this?!

thanks again

KWo	25-03-2006 11:25

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

Install again Your AMX X with UWC3 (like You had it before) - then install manually podbot mm R2B46d following this post. Don't use All In One installer, because it contains 1.55 version of AMXX (which is out of date - currently latest release of AMX X is 1.70). Remember - the newest AMX X requires metamod 1.19 (all in One installer includes mm 1.17.4 - if I remember good) - so install Your AMX X 1.70 from scratch the same way You did it before.

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

sweet! Thanks KWo for your patience and the help...lol..if I was you I would rip my hair out by now ...I know what its like trying to help ppl and them not listening :L anyway... AMX 1.7 is supposed to be a better builtin support system for bots correct? How hard is it to make bots?

It's AMX MOD X exactly. AMX is a different (but similar) mod. AMX since the version 0.9.9b and AMX X since 0.20 - they support bots correctly (before there were some problems with recognizing bots and players by these mods). I didn't get what You mean exactly. Can You express it a bit more?

Well - it needs a lot of game and math knowledge - but I'm not creator of this bot, but only one of continuators/developers.

s0a	29-03-2006 07:31

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

ok KWo ...what I meant was I read somewhere on AMX MODX forums...that they included botaim 2.3.x and etc etc..but it seems to me that in fact I am getting more runtime errors with bots and my UWC3 mod.. >< so I ran all mods in my plugins ini in debug mode.. really did help me any, nor did it tell me much I keep getting this Run time error 4: index out of bounds ... also I also read in another forum that the bots will perform better on better PC's, is there a way that when a developer can put in like a sidenote that says Performs best on : INTEL P4 2.6 ghz .. .. .. that would be cool, another thing is that when I got updates for the podbot_mm (which I enjoy, I laugh when I play them , CHEERS! to the creator) I found a .rc file in the update, which for those who dont know this file is a litestep file... =P

on a side note I am really good with Math, and have tons of patience, lol...I just dont know the language yet :L ....

ugh if you cant make sense of this post slap me lol :S

It was probably working before (with some previous AMX X) without reporting this Run Time Error, but maybe only because such mistakes wasn't everytime checked correctly - so no one knew there was some mistake in the plugin, but it WAS there and it appears now.

I'm playing with AMX X 1.70 and with 20 bots on my listenserver without lags (AMD Athlon XP 2400+). Without AMX/ AMX X I was playing even with 30 bots without lags. Everything depands on the map If there are a lot of textures - with bgiiger amount of bots (but also players) the server may lag.
Another thing is this - when some plugins are running in debug mode - they are executed slower - to let handle errors - it is causing lags, too.

What is that update You are talking about? I don't remember I gave You some beta, or I'm wrong?

hmm ok I see, odd, umm the PC I have running a dedicated server is

Pentium 4 2.6G

1 Gig Ram (DDr2 I think)

120 Gig HD
256 Radeon (not sure if its the XT version or not)

it dont lag when I get on and play from another pc...I will also check out the AMX forums, to see if they have developed any updates, or if someone is having a similar problem. Why are the bots so >< weird, they run really fast lol and the mp5 shoots extremely fast when they use it lol they have good teamwork skills, but dont are not difficult enough.. is it because of my machine or what I got configured? I only run about 10 bots on my server, I do not want more because when I switch this over to a hosted server ( I set this up as a beta server) its harder to administrate. err I uploaded the update as an attachment..I dont even think this is right, its a plugin...

KWo	29-03-2006 11:09

Re: HELP WITH WC3F and Dedicated SERVER!

That podfix plugin was for... old PODBOT 2.5. This forum is dedicated to podbot mm (metamod version of old PODBOT with a lot of enhancements). Write in Your server console:
meta list
and show me the contents of it.

I really think it's time the people should try something new.
splorygooooon - can You here me... :(
