I looked up a former member of the Shrikebot waypoint team. Due to lack of interest on their forum, and lack of new wps in general, Narcussist and I are waypointing and posting them on his web site. rnhttp://www.italiatela.com/rnrnHave a general shrikebot forum, and a request for waypoints also.rnrnMeathead Hobo

Yep, he taught me the basics of waypointing, and Tabor from your link. We all worked together for a while. All my new ones are on that site. I don't really release a lot of mine any more because they end up with no credits at 2 websites. If you need some not on the list, pm me. They also have a request forum on there website.nI've got a zip pack of about 240, but too lazy to put every one up for a download.

Hey meathead , narc was in my clan for a while , he coppied all of his NK maps to my server and so on , but then , gameservers had a massive failure and I lost everything. including the waypoints and maps.rnrnNarc has since been eatin up by WoW ( sigh )rnrnI was looking for waypoints for dod_Rhinecastle and cor_isle_b1 for starters.rnrnI will give you all the credit in the world if you send me your waypoints , I will host your zip-pack on my website ( neogodx.com ) in our download section and you can write the high praise you deserve for taking the time to waypoint maps.rnrnyou can email me through here.rnrnthanksrnSturmrnrnps: on a side note , one of the guys in my clan has been working up waypoints , but he says every time he goes to save them , he gets an error about the wps file and it wont let him save them. any ideas meathead ?

The only thing I can tell you Tigerman is that I usen

bind "F11" "waypoint save"n"
nto save a waypoint file. It will automatically save the file. You don't need to type a name for the file, and they should automatically load when you start the map. The only reason I ever use the load command would be to update waypoint's to a new map, like I used the waypoints from dod_dust on dud_dustnightvision. So then I waypoint load dod_dust.wps when I am on the map dod_dustnightvision, and waypoint save again, and it will save my waypoints as dod_dustnightvision.wps.

Below is his follow up.rnrn

ok so he didnt have any answer to why it isnt writing the file? cause i check the waypoint folder afterwards and it only has the ones it came with. i took the read only off the folder an still no saving. i cant find anything online anywhere to answer this so im stumped

I assume that you are saving from a bind ?rnShrikebot will give an on screen message sayin "waypoints saved"rnIf your waypoints folder is missing from dodshrikebotwaypoints you will still see rnthe waypoints saved message on screen but if you look in console you will see something like rnerror on writing file - dod/shrikebot/waypoints/dod_rats_theatre_v2.wpsrnrnI suggest that you rename your waypoints folder then create a new one also look in console for any messages.rnrnI hope this helps :)

hey meathead , the guy in my clan has been doing some kickbutt waypoints for shrikebot , including fixing some of the ones that are bugged , like donner ( axis bots getting stuck to the wall in the spawn ) and northbound (allied bots not getting out of the spawn on the left hill )rnbut for the life of him , he cannot figure out how to fix , merdert ( axis bots get stuck on the hill coming out of spawn and run around in circles and go back in ) I have to push them out of spawn on that hill and in the air ,they will turn and head back to spawn...its crazyness , can you look at the stock merdert waypoints and see if you can fix them ?

I have not looked at merderet waypoints but probably need to change to single direction paths for spawn exit. So the bots can only run in one direction (out of spawn).

Well now that I have had a look :) it is not what I said. I have edited the standard waypoints and bots no longer run back into spawn. I emailed a copy to meathead for testing.

thats great , I would like to have them as well.rnrnmy guy was working on them ,and he found a post somewhere about things being "under" the map , like a wormhole that was making the bots get stuck.rnrnits really annoying when you have to push them out of spawn and they turn in mid air and head back anyway...

meathead will upload to his website m8 as soon as he has checked it.rnIf your guy looks at the orig merderet.wps. Tell him to delete the left hand axis waypoint on the ramp. move it to the left a bit then re create the paths, one direction only though (not auto path).rnrnOr download it from meatheads site ;)

I went to Narc's website and no one is home in the way of any kind of shrikebot stuff. He and I used to play dod on steam together.
