error spamming console

[TagCdog]

I have podbot and meanmod on my server, and it spams the console with:

Actual skill will be overridden by internal BotAim system as high pb "addbot 100 2" is not a podbot command

Does anyone know how to fix? Thx

(I found out this was meanmod because it said

// display that the skill is will be overridden;
if ( vinBotSystem != cinBot_MEAN )
{
	fvoServerPrint_nl("Actual skill will be overridden by internal BotAim System as " + ftxGetBotSkill( ) );
}

,but I still don't know how to fix it)

Don't be to lazy, and try to use "search" unction first. This problem (about addbot command) was described here many times. Also read all sticky first, then You will know what the big mistake You made by writing exactly here...

[TagCdog]

i have searvhed... for like 3 hours... this forum kept giving me the wrong results... it also said i couldnt use "100 2" in my search... Where can I find it?

[KWo]

Really? You 've put wrong question in search field...
You should 've put "addbot"...

Do You know why I said - You posted in wrong place?

[TagCdog]

I found out the problem, but I don't know how to fix... MeanMod tries to say

pb "addbot 100 2"

with "" so it doesn't show up as a command... Can you give me a link that can help with that problem?

Thanks,

You have to not use qutes with podbot commands, except when You use it for parameter "name" (if bot's name is with a spce like James Bond for example).
Then You will need to write this:
pb addbot 100 5 5 2 "James Bond"

But because seems its meanmod has some problem with it, I'm moving the thread to mEAn forum. I guess botmeister should read a bit some threads about addbot commands, too.

[EDIT]
Because my last experience says botmeister doesn't like to read what do the people write, I'm writing here for him some info for addbot and fillserver. Dunno - maybe it's already included in the latest mEAn, but if not - he can use some info I'm writing here.


The syntax of addbot and fillserver console commands (podbot mm)

pb addbot [skill [personality [team [model [name]]]]]

Adds a Bot with parameters - skill You can write from 1 to 100; if You will write 101 it will mean random skill from minbotskili to maxbotskill specified above.
Personality - 1 to 3 or 5 and these value mean:

• 1 - Normal [POD]
• 2 - Aggresive [P*D]
• 3 - Defensive [P0D]
• 5 - Random personality from these 3 above

Team 1 is for Terrorists, 2 for Counter Terrorists and 5 to use auto-assign.
Model (class) is 1-4 or 5 (5 means random from 1 to 4).
Name is of course the name for this Bot.
If You want to use space in the name of Your bot You have to use quotes (for example: pb addbot 100 2 1 4 "James Bond").
You may not specify some argument without these before (for example - You may not specify bot's name without its skill nor personality nor team nor model - like this:
pb addbot Roger
this is an invalid call of the function addbot and then some bot with all random parameters (including also the name) will be added to the game.
You don't need of course specify all parameters - but if You need to specify some of them exactly - all other You have to specify as random. In our example to add some bot with the name Roger You have to write the line:

pb addbot 101 5 5 5 Roger

and this call of addbot function is correctly.
If You want to add some bot to the game with skill 100 to T team, the line should be like this:
pb addbot 100 5 1
In this case the parameters AFTER the latest one You need to specify - aren't important (You don't need write anything more). The model will be selected automatically and the name will be choosen from botnames.txt file.
Some other examples:

pb addbot -->skill gets based on mix\max, all else random
pb addbot 50 -->skill is 50 all else random
pb addbot joeblogs --> skill is based on min/max, name is joeblogs, all else random
pb addbot 100 1 2 1 "Mr Kabby" -->all have been set

pb fillserver [skill [personality [team [model]]]]

Meaning of the parameters is like for addbot command. This command let You fill the server by bots until reaching by podbots+human_players(or other bots):
a) the max_bots value if it is specyfied (different than 0)
b) max_players if max_bots is not specyfied (or is equal to 0)

If You want fill Your server by bots with random skill (between minbotskill and maxbotskill), but as "aggresssive" (and You don't care about their models or team), write this line:
pb fillserver 101 2
If You want for example fill the server by bots with skill 100, random personality , random team and random model - write this line:
pb fillserver 100
If You wish to fill the server by bots, but all bots to one team only - then write this:
a)example for T team and skill 90, all else random:
pb fillserver 90 5 1
b)example for CT team and skill and personalities randomly, model 3:
pb fillserver 101 5 2 3
The rules are the same for parameters like for addbot command (except 'name' parameter - for fillserver this parameter doesn't exist).

[TagCdog]

yea i dont type the commands, as soon as i turn on my server, the console gets spammed with the following (exactly):

pb "addbot 100 2"

then when it says that, because it is not a command, it says:

Actual skill will be overridden by internal BotAim system as high "addbot 100 2" is not a podbot command

Basicly, It is programed to say it with "" and podbot is without "" so it is meanmods problem?

[botmeister]

The "pb addbot" command has been corrected in the soon to be released new version of mEAn.

Here's a link to the compiled dll and so files of the pre-release version whoich uses the new "pb addbot" command syntax, just overwrite what you have with the new version.

pre-release version of mEAn for Windows & Linux

The "spamming" which shows the addbot commands and a notice that the skill may be overridden by mEAn's internal skill, is hard coded into the system. I never had a comlaint about it before. Out of curiosity I'm wondering why is it a problem for you?

As for a final release of the updated version - it is planned, but I've been very sick for the last few weeks, and at the same time I have piles of paying work on my desk which must take priority.

The pre-release version has been running on my two servers (windows and linux) for a couple of months now, so I am confident it is very stable. It is also very close to what the final release will be like.

Enjoy!

Edit:

A note about the updated mEAn is that the version number has (for some silly reason) not yet been updated, so it still uses the last released version number - which is wrong of course. I hope the incorrect version number does not cause too much confusion.

[TagCdog]

hmm, well the spamming causes an overflow on the server so it crashes... If I know what you are saying, the spamming is ment to be there, but it spammed like 5 messages per second... I don't think that is suppost to be there... It should be every min-5 mins... And I dont know if the not being able to use the proper command, but the old version would like kick the bots... (like if I wanted to fill the server, it would kick the bots the next round) letme test the new version, and keep up the great work.
Thanks,
TCD

Edit: I still get the same error... ??? I think, unles you did this it needs to be pb <command> not pb "<command>" ist confusing... but It wont add bots... It just kicks them... so as soon as that is fixed itll be cool... Thx sooo much...

Once again ...

Quotes have to be only for bot's name parameter (if You whole use it). Otherwise don't use quotes for calling any pb commands by mEAn.

pb addbot [skill [personality [team [model [name]]]]]
Examples (correct):
pb addbot 100 2 2 4 "Rambo"
pb addbot 100 2 2 4 Rambo
(the latest one doesn't need to use quotes, because bot's name parameter is without space, but it works, too).
pb addbot 80 3 1 2 "James Bond"
(this one needs quotes for name for sure - but ONLY for name - because there is a space in bot's name)

For coding mEAn - if You are using name parameter for bots - write allways quotes for name paramater - if there is a space or there is not - to prevent confusing You and Your mEAn code (it will work).

Some incorrect calls pb addbot commnds:
pb "addbot 100 2 3"
"pb addbot 100 1 2 4 Roger"
pb addbot "100 3 1 2"
These above are incorrect calls of pb addbot command.

For fillserver You should never use quotes (because You don't specify name parameter).

pb fillserver [skill [personality [team [model]]]]

Meaning of the parameters is like for addbot command. This command let You fill the server by bots until reaching by podbots+human_players(or other bots):
a) the max_bots value if it is specyfied (different than 0)
b) max_players if max_bots is not specyfied (or is equal to 0)

If You want fill Your server by bots with random skill (between minbotskill and maxbotskill), but as "aggresssive" (and You don't care about their models or team), write this line:
pb fillserver 101 2
If You want for example fill the server by bots with skill 100, random personality , random team and random model - write this line:
pb fillserver 100
If You wish to fill the server by bots, but all bots to one team only - then write this:
a)example for T team and skill 90, all else random:
pb fillserver 90 5 1
b)example for CT team and skill and personalities randomly, model 3:
pb fillserver 101 5 2 3

Like You can see above I din't use quotes anywhere.

For removing bots I sent the info by PM few days ago. There is a need use quotes only for name parameter:
pb remove "[P*D]KWo (199)"

To removing all bots - You need to don't use any quotes:

pb removebots

I hope it will be clear forever...

@To mEAn and podbot mm users:
Make sure You are using the latest (for this moment R2B45) podbot mm version. Check it in console by writing:
meta list
Then You should see if there is written "R2B45" (or not) near podbot mm.
