Make bots pickup better weapons?
 

I'm using realbot wip #9, anyway to make meanmod force bots to pickup better guns?

For example, awp map, they buy shotguns and whatever they can afford, instead of picking up the awps right in front of them - anyway to make bots pickup better guns that they find? Would be useful for other maps too, e.g. de_dust they come across a better gun, why not pick it up. Also bots dont switch to secondary weapon ever, they always use primary, and if they run out of ammo they just run around clicking lol. Another thing seems to be, when bots are aiming from far away, sometimes they hop up and down each time they shoot lol.

Yes, I know about the weapon buying and pickup issues. It's tough to solve these problems by trying to control what these bots do because I don't have full control over them. If I can think of a solution I'll fix it.

I did notice the jumping around while shooting. This one is strange and it seems to of started after one of the steam upgrades, but I'm not sure. I don't think the bots are actually jumping (pressing the jump key) but that something else is going wrong. I think I saw this happen once before, but it was along time ago and I can't remember what the problem was or how I solved it.

*edit*

I think I solved it. Download ver 5.50.13 again, the version has changed from build 20040408.00 to 20040408.01.

Awesome. Anyway to make the bots aim for the chest instead of the head? Everything is running excellent now, i love how the bots behave and react, my only issue is when they always aim straight for the head and get 90% headshot kills. Very frusterating when you walk around the corner - even though m_botskilldelay 0.75 doesnt seem to have any effect (bot skill is medium - i know it shouldnt affect highest and insane levels, but it doesnt seem to affect any level lol). I still walk around corner and get cranked in the head right away. Ive tested the bots by amx_Heal myself to 999999 life and then let them shoot me to rags and see how they behave. I love it except the headshot issue :( Ive set realbot aiming offset but i dont think it affects anything due to meanmod overriding the aiming. Anyway to tell the bots to aim for the chest not the head? I dont mind walking around the corner and getting corked, just getting one shot kill in the head is pretty bogus. So far I love realbot (no waypoints) mixed with mean mod for its added enhancements, they are very close to being human like, and i am looking forward to realbot wip 10 with mean mod! Thanks for your work you guys:)

Allowing a config change to force aiming at different body parts is a "to do" item, thanks for the suggestion.

You can try adjusting the cvar m_fieldofview

* Added cvar m_fieldofview to adjust maximum field of view, allowing bots to see potential enemies faster and more often. The higher the setting, the narrower the vision becomes (bots see less of their surroundings).

To make your bots harder to beat, use a lower value than the default, to make them easier, use a higher setting.

Range: -1.0 to 1.0
Default: 0.0
