So, now is supported with metamod?

Great, but I forgot one thing. Is possible to edit BOT names? Most people probably think if this is meaningless, but for me, it's important.

Can you help me?

DoD bots have a fast speed. Please fix it.

Yes there is now MetaMod support.

It's not possible to edit bot names - the framework supports it I think but I removed the ability because I didn't want to maintain the file reading code around it. I guess I could add support back but I'll need to tidy up the spawning code first.
I'll also take a look at the crash in Opposing Force CTF too.

Yes I know - I think I might know what the issue is so hopefully I'll have it fixed in the next version.

I've got a problem when I want to change a bot_count

How to changing it? 11 BOTS is too many for me, at least 3 is enough (because I mixing it with another BOTS)

Do you know what the walk speed is in Day of Defeat? I tried looking at my own speed/maxspeed/velocity but they all said 0. I think sprint speed may be 600 but I'm not sure.

Set the bot_count cvar - you'll probably need to change maps for this to take effect. I think the behaviour may need some work anyway - I added it so that people could create a game and not have to add bots themselves but possibly it could be smarter.

DoD console says it 500.

use sv_maxspeed to check it

[tschumann]

Okay I'll look into that - I was using entvars_t.maxspeed (which HPB Bot also uses for Counter-Strike). It seemed like that was the right thing to use at the time but maybe not.

Hello. Thank you for this work. Since I'm not able to start Sturmbot & Shrikebot at Debian server it is just in time.

I tried sandbot-v0.4 @ dod_avalanche with standart waypoints, bots are very stupid and they move around the spawn point of each team and not moving anywhere else. Also "loading waypoint file: dod/maps/dod_avalanche.wpt" takes more then 5 seconds, it looks strange. Is there any way to debug this point? Maybe there is some waypoint error?

[Persephone]

Still there is no update yet?

I will waiting even if it takes a very long time
