Think I will hold off on trying to set up shrikebot for a day or two

[dkg57]

This is what it shows on console when trying to load bots

I have (exec \shrikebot\shrikebot.cfg) in server.cfg

] meta list
Currently loaded plugins:
description stat pend file vers src load unlod

[meathead]

it's not a plugin. add a cofig.ini to your metamod folder. in the file put the following.
gamedll dlls/shrikebot_i386.so

[noddy]

Looks like he is using a windows server m8 so that would be

gamedll dlls\shrikebot.dll

added to your addons/metamod/config.ini

you might have to create the config.ini file.

Got bots running how do I set it up so when a real player joins a bot will leave.

This is my bot.cfg setup

bot_logo_percent 100
bot_reaction_time 2
bot_skill 3
view_skill off
bot_chat_percent 3
bot_taunt_percent 3
bot_whine_percent 3

# view_clan on
funmode 0
bot_team_balance on

min_bots 0
max_bots 16

I decreased the bots to 10 it works for me with this set up

I decreased the bots to 10 it works for me with this set up I would still like to set up the bots leaving when a real player joins after it reaches the max bots.

taken from the manual that can be found in your shrikebot folder.

"max_bots x"

Max bots command is used to keep the server filled to wanted number of players (bots).

The "max_bots" command specifies the number of players to which the server must be filled.
If a "real" client connects the server kicks one bot, the server will do this every time a client connects until the min_bots limit is reached.
If a "real" client disconnects the server will spawn one bot. The server will do so until the max_bots limit is reached.
(It can take a few seconds before a bot is added or kicked.)

Where x can be 0 to 31... Mind you always keep one slot open for a client to connect. "max_bots 32" will turn it off


"kick_all_bots x"

kicks all bots if there are more or equal number of "real" clients connected as specified in X.

Found that out rather quickly not to put 16 max bots on server and start with 16 players. I have it set up now to have 16 bots with 18 players.

Found that out rather quickly not to put 16 max bots on server and start with 16 players. I have it set up now to have 16 bots with 18 players. Done with what I wanted to set up on my server everything is running fine. ( until I find something else I want to add)

Top Tip before asking though ;)


RTFM

[dkg57]

Hmm I'll try to do that next time.
