Yeah, there are bunch of old docs and .cfgs flooding to the surface. The most complete documentation is in the attached .zip file. The servervars.html page should have most of what you need.

Also, this thread on ning, has the log of what it took for Syber to get his Windows server working.

Yes, we know the .cfg files included in the zip's are a nightmare... I'm slowly working to get them in a more stable condition.
For now, i have the exact files from http://beafraid.com/q2-bots uploaded to http://botsmod.ning.com/page/q2-bots-files-and. I also uploaded the linux binary that you guys provided, as well as the correct "source code" files, as you provided the correct link.

Thank you all! can't wait to see some full BotS servers!

ok, server running. goto happyfriar or connect to q2server.fuzzylogicinc.com

BUT. Wallfly shows up, q2admin works, but there must be some kind of mute built in & you can't use goto.

Wallfly doesn't receive the command, so I'm assuming players/spectators can't talk to eachother? In the log wallfly keeps sending "status" via rcon.

I'll replace leper with this one since it's new!

I updated the first post as well so this link wouldn't get burried. The bots q2 docs are now online (thanks sybersting). The class docs would be the best introduction to the mod as a player.

it doesnt seem like the server is rotating maps correctly, that last day its been stuck on bsctf1, and wont start a new match.

BoTS was a fun mod, I enjoyed it a lot. It's good to see it supported online again. I am not surprised Wallfly is having trouble with it, there were a lot of commands in the mod and there are probably some conflicts.

i can tell why the votes didn't work: the maps in the vote listing aren't the maps included with the download.

not sure why the time isn't running out, maybe the time limit doesn't work, just frags?

timelimit works on mine... here is the settings in my server.cfg also...

Code: [Select]

set allow_download 1
set fraglimit 150
set capturelimit 8
set public 1
map valley2
set game "bots"
set deathmatch "1"
set timelimit "60"
set scorelimit 50
set team1_desc Women // name of the team on the selection menu
set team2_desc Men // name of the team on the selection menu
set maxclients 16 // maxplayers on the server
set dmflags 1040 //force respawn and instant powerups (activated when picked up) and no quad drop)
set botsflags 19 // Quad rally, use class/team skins(default), classic voting. (+4 if you want Auto select a team for a player)

changed my config to part of yours (whatever wasn't the same) & updated the vote list with the post above.

slowmotioneric · « **Reply #25 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:35:14 AM »

still gets stuck at the "end of match" phase. never starts up the new map, just permanent scoreboard.

blrakach · « **Reply #26 on:** May 25, 2009, 07:01:12 AM »

Did a little testing, and I don't think it is getting stuck at the end of match, but it doesn't know what to do.

If you type vote, the map names do not appear correctly. When it was hung at that end of map screen, I typed start at the console, that got me back into the observer mode. Then I could spawn, and if I killed my self, I would need to physically click the "fire" button to respawn.

It seems like it is more like and issue with the menu system, and or a auto respawn setting.

The Happy Friar · « **Reply #27 on:** May 25, 2009, 07:10:30 AM »

is there another server running so I can see how it SHOULD work? I've had nothing but issues with the menu system. It shows up @ dissapears until I got [ or ] to make a selection, then it appears for ~1 second until I hit one of those keys again.

[EDIT]I am decommissioning my server, Hellfire's {{SK4}} complex is up at 128.104.224.240:27910[/EDIT]

my little Battle of the Sexes server is running at ~~71.230.170.126:27910~~.

its only 8 people max clients, its running off my cable connection at my apartment. But i havent had any of the problems that you seem to be having, feel free to check it out, or email me at slowmotioneric@gmail.com for any other help. I dont know much about servers, but i can tell you what my settings are and whatnot.

blrakach · « **Reply #29 on:** May 25, 2009, 08:43:07 AM »

Happy Friar, thanks for all of your effort it is much apprectiated.

As for the menu system, It has always been a bit touchy, so that is probably not an issue for your system specifically. To select a class, I have always reverted to typing the class name and execing the cfg by hand. I believe there is a similar command to select your team, but I typically just played and let autobalance figure it out.

A normal bots game consisted of the following format.

Play for x amount of minutes, team with the most points wins. Points were based on team oriented actions, not kills.
Everyone spawns invulnerable at thier sites. Flag catpures generated promotion points that the captain could dole out to rank up his team members as needed. Opposing team tried to steal the key to demote platers.
Teams that were getting spanked would get a quad rally to try and get them back in the game, and if it was a public server, the top two players of the dominating team would get autotraded for the bottom two players on the oppisition.

Play would continue and points would be awarded for captures, protections, defensive manuevers and offensive strikes.

End of match would show the score and auto load the next map.
