help with waypoint location
 

hello all!

i've gotten shrikebot running along side amxx (hooray me)

but, i have a problem, when in game the bots all stand in one place. i assume this is because the bots can't find the waypoint files.

here is how i have it set up: (windows dedicated server)

hl\dod\addons\amxx (amxx location)
hl\dlls\shrikebot.dll (the dll being used)
hl\dod\shrikebot (root folder)
hl\dod\shrikebot\waypoints (waypoint folder)

i have the waypoints for the default maps in *.wps format.

any help on this would be greatly appreciated. i am ready to play!

the bots seem to run in circles and won't do anything.

i updated to the latest version of dod (through steam).

could this have been the problem? is there no fix?

From other posts I have read on the Shrikebot forums, Shrikebot doesn't work with AMXX because of the amx_who variable.

I think that might be your problem.

The dlls folder should be in the dod folder.
hl\dod\dlls\shrikebot.dll
Other than that it looks ok to me.

I can't remember off the top of my head, but if the bot derives its configuration folder in relation to where the dll itself is located, it might be possible that it can't find the waypoints..... I.E., you put the dll in hl/dlls/, then the bot might try to find the waypoints in /hl/shrikebot/waypoints. Try putting the dll in the proper place.

BTW, if no waypoints are found on a dedicated server, you will see "Waypoint File [mapname].wpt not found!" in the console. Hope that helps!
