Form the team

[Austin]

Hey, I am finally back!
Just checked POD again after a few years.
Looks good!

But I run a DS with like 28 bots vs 4 humans.
Bots on one team humans on the other.
When I specify the team for pod it ignores it.
So for example I want 4 humans as ts.
and lets say 16 cz bots on cts with 4 pod bots on cts also.
The server is runing with the humans and cz bots just fine.

but when I type
pb add 1 5 2 5 Roger

The bot ends up on ts.

I do have these set.
mp_autoteambalance 0
mp_limitteams 0

Is there any way to "really" get what I ask for. The correct team I am specfying for the bot?

Welcome back Austin.
Nice to see You again.

Le me know if I undestood the question - You wanted the bot in CT team, but it joins the T team, right?

pb add [skill [personality [team [model [name]]]]]
The syntax You put seems to be correct. I must to try it my-self.
Maybe change the pb_minbotskill setting to 1? Unfortunately I don't have too many beta-testers to report me me bugs.
In the meantime try with the fillserver command:
pb fillserver 1 5 2 5
Let me know about all Your settings from podbot.cfg
I believe You are using V3 version of pb mm.
Are You sure You are not using any bot manager (like mEAn or something like that)?

KWo,
I figured it out.
IT is something everyone needs to know and we shoudl document it.
On CZ there are two very useful settings.

bot_join_team t/ct/any
humans_join_team t/ct/any

These settigns force humans and the cz bots to one team.
It looks like pod bot obviously ignores the bot_join_team setting
BUT it does obey the humans_join_team setting.
POD will ALWAYS join the team humans_join_team is set to.
It looks like cz thinks pod is human.
Wow great job on making thes ebot sso human like the cz engine is fooled!
;-)

I am usign the version from the file base.

Really, thanks for keeping this great bot alive.
I will be around agian.
Will probably have soem questions about building the sorce soon..
Thanks!

Unfortunatelly I don't have CZERO, so I couldn't test it...
Anyway - thanks for the info.
BTW - if You setup original CZ bots against POD bots - after few rounds - how does it look like? CZERO bots still beat POD?

I could try it but it would not be a fair test. I have tweaked both pod and cz reaction times down.

I am REALLY impressed with what you guys have done to this bot.
The menu on the ds server is awesome and the bot seems rock solid.

There still is some weirdness with adding bots and the team they end up on. Going to do more investigating and get back to you.

It would be really helpfully to have the bot_quota_match command as in cz. That is, set a number of bots that will join per human.

So for example on my server I have 6 bots per human. If 1 human joins they have 6 bots to play against. If 3 humans join they have 18. Humans always forced to one side and bots on the other.

Another thing that would be cool would be to support custom menus.
So I could add some menus and commands of my own to the ds menu.

KWo, awesome man!
I did a diff of the source from b to c and noticed you also made some change to keep pod from throwing nades to high!

I didn’t see any docs on this in the latest source or bin releases zips..
So the new commands are??
pb bot_join_team t/ct/any
pb bot_quota_match n

I am getting my house painted and living at the office for a few more days so I can't test this until this weekend. I will definitely test this then and get you some feedback on cz.

Now I have everything I need to run pod like I do with the cz bot with out having to run other plugins.

Ask and you shall receive!
