Bots Don't Play Unless Human Present

When my server starts a new map, a single bot will join. I have min bots set to 2 and max at 3. Immediately after joining upon the start of a map, the bot leaves. This is all when their is no one else on the server.

If there's a person on the server, the bots will show up and stay, as expected.

I'd like the bots to play their little hearts out when no humans are there so that when people see the server, they see people (or in this case, bots) on it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Be gentle; I'm new with both JoeBots and running a CS server.

Re: Bots Don't Play Unless Human Present

Sorry; I also should have stated what was in my bot.cfg and joebot.cfg files (at least what I assume are the applicable parts):

bot.cfg

Code:

#

 # Should bots enter the game when no humans are present ?

 #

 

 joinwhuman_max on

 

 #

 # Should bots join a team when no humans are present ?

 #

 

 joinwhuman_res on

 

 #

 # Number of bots to which the server will be filled automatically

 #

 

 min_bots 2

 max_bots 3

joebot.cfg

Code:

//

 // Should bots enter the game when no humans are present ?

 //

 

 jb_entergame 1

 

 //

 // Should bots join a team when no humans are present ?

 //

 

 jb_jointeam 1

 

 //

 // Number of bots to which the server will be filled automatically

 //

 

 jb_botsmin 2

 jb_botsmax 3

Re: Bots Don't Play Unless Human Present

the jb_jointeam and jb_entergame do the same like the whuman commands, exactly the same, so you can throw out one of those each - we gotta update the readme :)

dunno, already having tried even the 0 there ? somehow those commands are strange, sometimes

Code:

bool bc_joinwhumanmax(edict_t *pEntity,int iType,const char *arg1,const char *arg2,const char *arg3,const char *arg4){

 if(!*arg1){

  UTIL_ConsoleMessage( pEntity, "Usage: joinwhuman_max [on/off]\n");

  return true;

 }

 if(FStrEq(arg1,"on")){

  CVAR_SET_FLOAT("jb_entergame", 0);

 }

 else if(FStrEq(arg1,"off")){

  CVAR_SET_FLOAT("jb_entergame", 1);

 }

 if(CVAR_BOOL(jb_entergame)){

  UTIL_ConsoleMessage( pEntity, "Bots will join even if there are no human on the server ( max_bots )\n");

 }

 else{

  UTIL_ConsoleMessage( pEntity, "Bots will only join when a human is on the server ( max_bots )\n");

 }

 return true;

}

bool bc_joinwhumanres(edict_t *pEntity,int iType,const char *arg1,const char *arg2,const char *arg3,const char *arg4){

 if(!*arg1){

  UTIL_ConsoleMessage( pEntity, "Usage: joinwhuman_res [on/off]\n");

  return true;

 }

 if(FStrEq(arg1,"on")){

  CVAR_SET_FLOAT("jb_jointeam", 0);

 }

 else if(FStrEq(arg1,"off")){

  CVAR_SET_FLOAT("jb_jointeam", 1);

 }

 if(CVAR_BOOL(jb_jointeam)){

  UTIL_ConsoleMessage( pEntity, "Bots will respawn even if there are no human players on the server\n");

 }

 else{

  UTIL_ConsoleMessage( pEntity, "Bots will only respawn when a human player is on the server\n");

 }

 return true;

}

Which file takes precedence, joebot.cfg or bot.cfg? Why are there the two files as opposed to one that gets reloaded every round?

Re: Bots Don't Play Unless Human Present

joebot.cfg loads before bot.cfg so settings in bot.cfg take precedence.

joebot.cfg is only for setting CVARs, no commands will work. bot.cfg allows for commands and some commands will set CVARs.

Basically, you should use one or the other but not both for normal use.

To not use one, do you just delete it?

Re: Bots Don't Play Unless Human Present

You may leave the file empty with a comment/reminder to look at the "other" .cfg file.
