Bots...???
I have Mac os X and want to have some bots on my map so people don't leave while I'm eating or something....
How do I do this???
Sir_Pants asked me how to do it on Mac os X, and I didn't know so I guess I would be asking for both of us...
The only thing I know is -disablebots...
Would I like not have -disablebots and open bzflag multiple times and put connect and set them on autopilot with '9'???
(laggy...)
Or is there a command /addbot...??????
Thanks,
BinarySpike

Re: Bots...???
You do that by running bzflag in Terminal? Right?BinarySpike wrote: The only thing I know is -disablebots...
Well I just ran ./bzflag -help (in the right directory, don't worry. )
and it says [-solo <num-robots>]
So I guess it is just " -solo 4 " for 4 bots...
And I just tried it. It works. If you open bzflag from terminal like this:
/Applications/BZFlag/BZFlag-2.0.2.app/Contents/MacOS/bzflag -solo 2
That will open bzflag and any server (that allows bots) that you log onto will have your 2 bots.
Also try:
/Applications/BZFlag/BZFlag-2.0.2.app/Contents/MacOS/bzflag -help
That is how I found out how to do it..
hehe

Hmmmm...... Ok, I just wanted some bots to keep my players happy while I'm gone...
But, how do they be put on teams? or is that something bzfs does by itself?
I just want three bots, one on each team (red, blue, rogue)...
*edit*
I want this in bzfs not bzflag...
(bzfs doesn't reconize the -solo command)

Oh... I don't know how to do it in bzfs.
Try trunning this:
/Applications/BZFlag/BZFlag-2.0.2.app/Contents/MacOS/bzfs -help
If it is possible to do it from bzfs, that will tell you how.
And, if you run bzflag -solo 3 then join to your server as obs, then the 3 bots should each go on a separate team...

I understand but how do I tell the client to have bots?
(I've played on like the viper.pimpi.org clone and there are bots and every body sees it...)
I've also played on other servers and they had bots.
(there were bots and players...)

open terminal then type cd /applications/bzflag/bzflag-2.0.x.app/contents/macos then type ./bzflag -solo 4 and if you want to add bots names and not ur own type name@serverdomain for some reason my mac didnt install a directory it jsut install the app in apps folder so i have to type cd /applications/bzflag-2.0.x.app/contents/macos then the command for bots only thing is the bots dont seem to jump but o well

so I type ..../bzflag -solo 3 Bot@localhost Bot2@localhost Bot3@localhost
So basicly anybody can put bots in my level?
I totally understand that you use .../bzflag -solo!!!
*edit*
Ok, I tested the bots... (still what's with this Bot@localhost thing?)
The only problem is their really, really, really stupid!
They don't move thought the transporter, get flag, or jump... ???
Re: Bots...???
So if I wanted to ... lets say have a server that has x bots, split evenly on the red and blue teams, and then allow actual players to only connect as rogues, it can't be done?
Re: Bots...???
It could be done, but not without some programming. One option would be to write a bzfs plugin that controls the automatic team selection. Another option would be modifying the client to adjust what team it joins the bots to.

Re: Bots...???
While not an exact match, the duplicate map plug-in does perform some form of modified automatic team selection.
Or if you're interested, feel free to private message me a plug-in request with specifications.

Re: Bots...???
Use autopilot robots but only on a local (non-public) server because, otherwise, it is forbidden, basically. You can, though, modify the server to allow it. More info on: Levels and Robots (Simplified Version).
