Re: Bots do not respawn
 

This is normal! the bots can't survive a mapchange, that's why we need to disconnect them all before changing maps. But normally, as soon as the new map is running, the bots should join the game within a few seconds. So it's not a problem, or is it ?

Re: Bots do not respawn
 

That's the problem .......the bot do not join the game after the map change.....its weird cause I've 3 computers and that's working for theses who are not the server. On 2 of my computers the bots are joinning after a changelevel!!!!!!

But you said that I need to desactivated the bot before a level changing? Explain please.

I use hpb_bot 4, metamod ,amx

Re: Bots do not respawn
 

no, this is done automatically... by saying "we need to" I meant "we developers need to" :)

Try removing all the other metamod plugins except the HPB_bot to see the one which might cause the problem.

Re: Bots do not respawn
 

Don't use the 'map' command to change maps, use the 'changelevel' command instead. Using the 'map' command will cause bots to not be reconnected when the new map loads.

Ok, seems the crashing is now fixed. But i seem to know have the problem this person has posted.
Bots loaded when first started the server, none joined on mapchange.
When i tried (rcon HPB_bot "addbot"), it told me this:
[metamod: command 'HPB_bot' unavailable; plugin unloaded]
-------------------------------------

Here's a bit of detail:
My Current Metamod "plugins.ini":
win32 addons/adminmod/dlls/admin_mm.dll
win32 addons/playerlog_plugin/playerlog_mm.dll
win32 addons/hookmod/dlls/hookmod_mm.dll
win32 addons/logd/logd_mm.dll
win32 addons/HPB_bot/HPB_bot_mm.dll
-------------------------------------------------
I read above that you recomend dropping everything & trying only HPB_bot_mm.dll .. Will try that!
--------------------------------
Ahhh, i see something that i didn't see before:

-------------------------------------------
Here's what Meta List says:

] meta list
Currently loaded plugins:
description stat pend file vers src load unlod
[ 1] Adminmod RUN - admin_mm.dll v2.50.59 ini Start Start
[ 2] PlayerLog RUN - playerlog_mm.dll v1.12 ini Chlvl ANY
[ 3] Hook Mod RUN - hookmod_mm.dll v3 ini Start Start
[ 4] LogDaemon RUN - logd_mm.dll v1.00.5 ini ANY Pause
[ 5] HPB_Bot open relo hpb_bot_mm.dll v4.0.3 ini Start ANY
5 plugins, 4 running
-----------------------------
I currently have No map specific files that would deny bots from joining.
In my HPB_bot.cfg i have this:
pause 3
min_bots 2
max_bots 10
-----------------

The server has cycled twice now & no bots.
Meta List still tells me the same.
So what i'll do now is drop everything, and try with just HPB_bot_mm.dll ...

Thanks for fixing the crashing!! =)

Re: Bots do not respawn
 

The bots do not reconnect even I use changelevel or map command.

Re: Bots do not respawn
 

Yes, the problem is when i create a game, the bots are here but after a changelevel, there no more bots

Re: Bots do not respawn
 

HELLO? Botman......that is not working again....???? Are you working at this problem??

Re: Bots do not respawn
 

Botman has stopped working on the HPB_bot. He has no more time for that. It's us at Bots United who are maintaining the bot for him.

I can't reproduce this problem on my development machine, hence I don't know how to fix it. My bots do come back after a map change.
