How do I add a bot into my map Created 19 years ago2004-05-21 06:58:31 UTC by Dark Tree

I am running a listen server. I downloaded a HPB_bot.....I also downloaded and installed an adminmod to run my bot.....I dunno IF I f'cked up or what but I have been trying for 5 hours just to get a bot into my server.....will someone please show me where this is all laid out in plain english?

First of all, are you using a map you made? Because if you are, you'll have to code a bunch of waypoints in you map so that the bots can follow them and look like they are walking around in your map.

If its not your own map, what game and map are you trying to add bots to?

You shouldn't need AdminMod to use bots. What mod?

OK. This isn't for any specific map. It hasn't worked on maps I made, nor has it worked on maps OTHER folks have made. I am using Half-Life Deathmatch as the mod, not CS or NS or TFC or anything. I think that is what you are asking.

Also, I do not know how to put waypoints in my map....these bots made by HPB (Botman) supposedly are self-guided and everything.

Also, I am using steam to run my bots in my server

just type addbot in console

but for some real auto adding you will need to chnace some things, i did that for hundreds of times, il chek that out tommowrow for you

Bots need way points to follow, they will not work other wise.
They probably havnt worked on Your maps and other "folks" maps because HPB bot does have set way points for them and does not know that your maps exsist. Botman makes these bots to work with well know exsisting maps that the sierra team makes.
Thats probably why they havnt worked at all, If you want bots you're going to have to code waypoints for them in your maps. How you do this? Im not sure, there are tutorials, seach in google.

1. How do I know I have the bot in the right place
2. addbot is not command in steam

If I were you I would use Jumbot. Much easier t install and handle. I coded 3 waypoints into maps for the first time and they worked! Very easy. Not only that, but the bots have different skill settings, easy to really hard, (really) and even chat! Get it now!

btw, thank you pepper for checking it out tommorow

. you jsut said steam, i dont know if it works wiht steam.
and im faicng some probs myself and im wondering is it for hl tfc ore cs??

HPB bot, the self navigators --- i thought these bots only worked for CS? Lemme know if im wrong - if not that could be it. lol
