If You have changed something in podbot.cfg, but the server was still working (You didn't stop it), the change doesn't affect bots. Stop and restart the server. It's not enough just reload the map. If You want to change something in settings without restarting the server - You can change any setting from the server console - since they are cvars.
Anyways, I played around with the weapon settings and stuff, closest I got was making the bots using shields, but with pistols. Is it even possible? Or do I have to play with Jasonmode?
Please clarify what is still not working, From that what I understood You wanted them to using knives and shields, so the problem is now they don't buy grenades or where is the problem now?
The problem is, Jasonmode only make them use knives, but dont buy anything.
I want them to buy shields, and equipments, like grenades and kevlar, and use them.
But no ranged weapons, pistol, rifle etc.
Ive tried to configure podbot.cfg and botweapons.cfg, but I can only make them to use the pistols they hold, and buy shields and grenades. But they dont use the knives.
So - if they don't have weapon other than knives, but jasonmode is off, how they are attacking the enemy? What they are doing? Can You be more descriptive?
