I really must remember to log in. heh.

[crashtest]

When I try to load up a bot using the console, the game crashes back to the main menu. I have it patched it properly, any idea as to what is happening?

nm..I fixed it. I can't leave it just sabot, I had to put tinman to make it work.

[TinMan]

What does it say?

[crashtest]

I tried using the first bot, which is just addbot bot_sabot, and thats what did it. Adding tinman to the end fixed it.

That was on fragging yard..but I can't seem to get the bot to load on Lost Fleet TMP 2.

[crashtest]

It didn't work on Phrantic either..

But it did work on FPS Lost Fleet and FPS Fragging yard 1v1.

Is there a problem with it working on the TMP maps? Or non-FPS/standard maps?

It gives me no error message, just drops me back.

[crashtest]

Update: I read that it said "Cannot find AAS file for map"

I read the readme and tried "runaas [TMP] The Lost Fleet ", I even tried q4dm3tmp .

But it said that runaas is not valid for multiplayer mode..

[TinMan]

Ok, then don't run it in multiplayer mode, try it when you first load the mod.
And it must be the filename of the map.

[crashtest]

What do you mean don't run it in multiplayer mode? Do I still go to create a server? I'm not sure where else to go..

Oh, I didn't know that. Problem #2..

Where should the map be? In Q4base, or what? I keep trying it, but it says q4dm3tmp.map not found..I don't even think I have a q4dm3tmp.map, but it is a pk file. They are all .pk files, i can't see a single .map!

[TinMan]

Try:
runaas mp/mapname
Use <TAB> as you type to get it to autocomplete.
Homework for tonight is to learn about the quake engine handles files and folders, pack (pk4) files and the console in general.

[crashtest]

Thanks teacher!

Ok, I was able to run the aas on the map..but when I try to load it, it just sends me back out to the desktop with a pop up q4 window. What happened? I think it said current game code doesn't match pk files..

Heh, you can tell I didn't do any final testing on this bit.
For the moment the best solution is to run the server in non pure mode, which allows files out side of pk4 files to be used, far from optimal.
This is probably due to the bot code generating a botaas32 file on each map load. On intial tests it seems you can run it non pure once, then it will run fine in pure.

When creating a server choose Server Pure - No under the Advanced Options.

I've updated the readme again:

Thanks, I don't mind being your test dummy.



Great work btw,you are the first bot mod out! The bots are good enough to get some practice in!
