Bots ignore EPB.cfg

Pretty much what the title says. I've got configuration options set in EPB.cfg, when I start the game the bots show no sign of having been given instructions from EPB.cfg.

Quote:

Bots will be added to the server until the total number of players (bots and humans) reaches the max_bots value. Each time a new player joins the server, a bot will be kicked unless there are only min_bots number of bots in the game

My epb_max_bot value is 10, max players on the server is 16. In short order, the bots will fill up 15 slots on the server. 1 person will be able to join the game, and then anyone else who tries to join the game is kicked saying that the server is full.

Also, epb_maxbotskill is set to 50. Bots are constantly anywhere between 80-100.

Not really sure how to trouble shoot this as this is the only configuration file that has anything to do with bots.

Re: Bots ignore EPB.cfg

Yeah try with 10000 bots maybe it will work ? I think that the Half-Life 1 based games max slots can be up to 32. ;)
Anyway what version of E[POD]bot and CS you have ?

Re: Bots ignore EPB.cfg

Versions. EPOD is 5.2 and CS...I'm not exactly sure what version my server is running. I guess it's whatever the latest is. I've got a Linux server and the documentation for Steam related things on Linux is pathetic at best.

Re: Bots ignore EPB.cfg

Download E[POD]bot 5.3. ;)

Download EPB

Please contact me via E-Mail (see Link "Contact" in NavBar) if you could provide additional mirrors.
Download current version

This is Version 5.2 of E[POD]bot. It's a standalone version, you can use it without having to install another bot first. It also includes waypoints.

Re: Bots ignore EPB.cfg

Found it, same problem.

Re: Bots ignore EPB.cfg

Alright, I think I'm close to figuring out what's going on here...

Using Gentoo's Portage system to install the Steam stuff gives me a confusing directory structure.

/opt/halflife/cstrike/ is where my dedicated server executables lives.

/opt/halflife/cstrike/cstrike is where Counter Strike related software lives.

Aside from that confusion, there also seems to be some confusion as to where EPODBot is supposed to live. Now I have EPODBot and Metamod installed in two places, and between the two places I seem to have 1 successful install.

/opt/halflife/cstrike/addon/metamod and EPODbot/
and
/opt/halflife/cstrike/cstrike/addon/metamod and EPODbot/

I'm going to have to remove one and see which one is the correct install, but I'm a little tired for that right now. The important thing is that one of these two points to the EPODBot config file in...

/opt/halflife/cstrike/EPODbot

I'll finish up figuring it out tomorrow and lay out exactly where everything needs to be in case some other poor soul is trying to get a dedicated server with bots on Gentoo.

Re: Bots ignore EPB.cfg

Much better is to install the Dedicated Server from the Valve update tool and you will get no confising dir structure. ;)
