for happy bots users only

ok it's not to complain again about my spectator bots problem.. *cough* , just to make our happy ESF-Bots users ..hum ..more happy ;D

some of them are certainly bored to get the console when they create a game and type "addbot" until they have enough opponents ..

anyway and since this ESF-Bot is based on Botman's code source, u can use a lil file to add bots AUTOMATICALLY when u create a game


open a new file with Notepad

copy/paste :

#===========================================
# Earth Special Forces
# simplified config file
# for Alpha ESF-Bot
#===========================================
# edited by CeNTuRY from Botman's HPB_bot.cfg to fill ESF Forums
#
# wait for 2 seconds
pause 2
# change default bot skill level to 2
botskill 2
observer 0
#min_bots 4
#max_bots 8
bot_reaction_time 2
# add 6 bots using the default skill level
# addbot model name skill
addbot frieza frizzZer
addbot Gohan SangoHan
addbot Krillin krillin
addbot trunks TrUNks
addbot vegeta Vegata
addbot piccolo PiCcoLo
#end

save it as\Half-Life\esf\bot.cfg

it will be loaded at launch, the bots will join the game after 2 seconds .if u change map the created bots will rejoin.
Of course u can change models, names and skills and so fill your server the way u want.

want more difficulty, try :

bot_reaction_time 1
botskill 1

it works fine for 2 friends of mine which have no @?$£ù spectator problem , u r free to gimme some feedback or ask me for details.

i havent tried it yet, but this is useful info, thx. It shortens the time it takes to do everything (i nolonger have to change botskill etc...) also i presume you can change the

'addbot Gohan SangoHan
addbot Krillin krillin
addbot trunks TrUNks
addbot vegeta Vegata
addbot piccolo PiCcoLo'

to different names and charas etc....

i wanted buu instead of frieza. well, can you help?

one thing, none of the model names should be capitalized (krillin and gohan). but the other ones...i unno

well thats what century posted. but thanks anyway.

where is the bot.cfg? is that what its titled?

you have to make it. just copy the game.cfg in the esf folder, delete everything in the text, and copy whay century posted. them name it bot.cfg

this mean to do it, is quite valuable, but quite dangerous too since game.cfg is a file u shoudn't modify , Half-Life modify and rewrite it each time u create a game ...oh, and btw u don't have to copy it to ESF folder, cauz u have one yet (like in every HL MOD folder).

so, if people don't know how to use Notepad to create a new file, copy/paste the lines below and save it as bot.cfg , i can't think they are smart enough to follow your advice ..

nice try though

no if you read my post carefully i said to COPY the game.cfg. the do all the other things i said. read before you type;/

even if i read it carefully , i can't see more words it contains but typos errors ... so U read what u type ...

although if people think u were clear in your post, i will apologize o_o


another point :

apparently [ESF]Blade has hard-coded randomize bots names in the ESF-Bot.dll itself ... doh !, it should be cool if it use a file like botnames.txt that any HL bots users have seen before *cough* and that should be useful

btw, it should be really appreciated if he can modify the ADDBOT command to fill the team part too

for now we have :

ADDBOT 'model 'name 'skill


i hope something like :

ADDBOT 'team 'model 'name 'skill



it's just logical to see the TEAM (1 for Good,2 for Evil) parameter before the others hu ?!

so we will have a command like :

ADDBOT 1 Goku MegaGOKu 1

that will fill the team Good, with a Goku model named MegaGOKu and a skill level at 1 [da best]

what do u think ? :idea: [/b][/quote]
