Where can I get wp ini files for WIP version?

I was wondering if anyone had a large list of wp ini files for the WIP realbot version (3005).

I know they discover the wp's themselfs in a way but when i played for the first time, all the maps i played the bots stayed still. so i reinstalled the whole game and bots etc, then I tested some maps by doing what was suggested in the installation instructions (run around the current map with no bots for the first time, then add bots.) This worked great but it is going to take many hours to run around the maps before adding bots.

Does anyone know where to get some ini files so i dont have to do this (i assume its the ini files i want)?

I don't know if the following is possible:

if you have installed the WIP version correct, you should have RB AI V1.0 installed correctly too.

You start up metamod, and you let it load realbot_mm.dll, you could try NOT to add bots via that dll. But also let metamod launch (there was a switch for this, do not use the plugins.ini file) the original RB AI V1.0 file.

Then you can add those bots (using rb_addbot) and let them run around. THey will 'map' the world for you then.
Saves some time. In the end i will put up my RBN files so you don't need to learn all maps. Some maps require some modifications using the nodes editor, i will do them for you on those specific maps.

all i can say is, try the above, or ask someone else on the forums (perhaps some can share?).. or wait for RBN files be released on my website.

Don't think there are any sites that have wip ini files, as it is still a WIP.

try downing podbot and using this attached dll file, just put it in the podbot folder and load it the same as you load realbot WIP, in the metamod plugins.ini.(don't change liblist.gam)
it will run with realbot and teach them the maps.
set it up over night, or you can play with them too.

hope this helps


i could email you some if you really want, got about 80 maps ini's

HI,
you should download this version of podbot from the filebase:

cheers

Thanks Onno
haven't tested it yet.
Will download it and give it a go.

If you use mean mod with realbot, and set mean mod to autoslay bots when no humans are alive BUT humans are connected to the server (bots still fight vs themselves if no humans on), just let your public players play the maps for a few days. I host 400+ maps and just from a few days of pub they know almost every map, without ladder knowledge mind you, but thats only an issue on some maps.

@Zenmaster, unfortunate! But very interesting about that pub server!

I have manually added support of ladders (requires some time and editing) and the bots do them well, so it would add a lot of diversion when it works. Especially since button usage works too now.

it will probably get me into late hours of coding to fix this bug though but that would not matter.

Yes it would be nice, but most of the bots just take an alternate non ladder route, which is better then nothing.

Anyway to make bots shoot exploding boxes? On some maps, cs_bikini, um cs_bunker i think is another, there is exploding crates which bots need to shoot to gain acess to another route but they just sit there walking and jumping at the crate lol. Most of the time a human player will lead the way so its not a big deal.

One nice thing i noticed about the bots, is they know how to use Warcraft 3 specials occasionaly - makes it quite fun to have them using wc3 skills too along with human players.

I just thought of one other thing, anyway to force bots to always crouch when they shoot? - they shouldnt stand if they can help it, it just gives them worse aim and makes them a bigger target. Another thing I notice is bots wont shoot if they are taking hits, so its easy to glock bots to death if u dont get cranked in the head when they first see you. I'd also like to see bots spray with mac10s/autoshotties/smgs etc if they are in a very close proximity battle instead of letting off a few taps, they should just spray with smg for example in de dust rush b spot.

fixed the ladder bug already. W00t.

The new version is totally different combat wise, they hear, sneak, duck, strafe, take cover, etc. Ow, forgot to mention they throw grenades too (and effective).

They also do teamwork, when one calls 'need backup', bots come and help. You can control bots by this

Impressive work, you're obviously dedicated to this because you respond to every thread and take in everything you can think of. On that note, I'll stop bothering you so you can work instead of replying Thanks for the time your putting into this - bots are only worth playing with if they are good, so I am glad to see your dedicated to this, not doing a half ass job.
