66390 2002-07-30 00:39:00 But hey - I've had variable experiences with Bots in CS - we used RB on the LAN for yonks and they begin to annoy you after a while.

Lately, however, we've been using Sturmbot with Day of Defeat, the WW2 HL mod and it is a blast. The Sturmbot bots are much better than any I've tried for CS and palying a few people on the LAN with 14 bots thrown in is really a lot of fun. Plus, we got bored with CS anyhow . . .

66391 2002-07-30 01:05:00 yea we used to use RB for CS. ok but pretty basic tho there is new ver in progress at the mo.

at the moment i use podbot but makeing waypoints is a real bore (RB had auto waypointer). how well the bots work depends on how good the waypoints are. also i find some tweaking of the bot config is needed as the bots are way to good (ie they see/hear you perfectly even behind walls etc) 20 bots on the map is sooo much fun ;-)

66392 2002-07-30 02:59:00 Yeah - that was RB's big advantage and big weakness - you could use it on any map you downloaded cause it didn't need waypoints. But the bots often didn't handle maps too well without waypoints.

And on the highest "intelligence" (term used very loosely) setting they were too dead-eye-dick. What I used to do (I've done the same with Sturmbot) is just have a custom cfg file, called addbots.cfg sitting in the cstrike directory. In there I had addbot lines for say 14 bots, and I varied them a bit. Then when I wanted a server full of them I just typed exec addbots.cfg in the console. With Sturmbot I have the bulk on the 4 setting (Sturmbot ranks skill of bots from 1[dumb] to 8[uberbot]) but then about 3 on each side who have higher settings, to make things interesting. You can also vary the classes used (for DoD) this way, so by default I have each team of 7 loading in with the bulk being riflemen, plus one each of the other classes.

With DoD and Sturmbot, the www.sturmbot.com (http://www.sturmbot.com) site has downloads of custom maps and matching waypoint files.

66393 2002-08-19 04:22:00 hay bruce i dont want to reinstall pod bot again because i realise that the prob with pod bots only come when i push + and 4 to restart the round(i normally restart the round when i die but this cause probs so i just push + and 3 , this kills the bots so the game starts again
if u push = a menu comes up on your left side of the screen so u dont have to type any thing on the console
and way do i have to make my own waypoint for maps?? if so i dont how, tell me please

one more question when i download a skin do i have to delete my old
skin and replace it with a new one ??

it really hurt me when u called me lazy :( we all no i have a reading problem! :(

TiM:(

66394 2002-08-19 04:24:00 Sorry Tim, not buying it. Not doing the most basic search on the planet is lazy. If you can post here you can certainly do a search for Pod Bot.

My discussion of and patience with this subject is at an end.
