Any stable bot programs for amxmodx?

The latest PODBOT and the version before that (V3B22b) is not stable for use on respawn servers. Crashes sporadically and lasts no longer than 60 hours without crashing all deathmatch servers that I have studied. Also causes major CPU lag compared to other bot programs.

The latest YAPB version 2.7.3 is a good alternative. There is still ongoing development, yet, there are still major bugs that need to be sorted out. Doesn't crash my server however.

Any other recommendations? Specifically for DM/respawn type CS 1.6 servers.

Thank you. I have this plugin properly installed and it loads but bots are not loading. Does it need waypoints? Also, I don't get much of a cmdlist or cvarlist for bots when typed in console. Not running the right HLDS maybe? Do you have this installed yourself?

Re: Any stable bot programs for amxmodx?

If missing, nav files are generated automatically once a bot is added. You're using the client console, if you want to execute server commands in this console, you have to use the rcon.

Thank you both. I have used rcon to some success. The bots will die and not respawn however. Human players still do. Am I using the latest version?

Re: Any stable bot programs for amxmodx?

Not totally sure what is your context, but you should probably add bots with "bot_quota".

Yes, bot_quota is set to 14. In a CSDM setting, the bots will not respawn after death which is odd because the other bot programs don't have this problem at my current settings. Do you have this working with CSDM?

Re: Any stable bot programs for amxmodx?

Are you sure podbots is the problem? Because I had a test server with podbots and CSDM installed that ran without any problems. Is your server windows or linux?

I've just upgraded my AMXX and PODBOT among other things after creating this topic and actually have seen an improvement. I was running an old AMX 1.8.3 dev build that was likely unstable and causing crashes. I haven't ran the new PODBOT for more than a day yet. Are you having any crash problems with your setup? CSDM/AMX/PODBOT version?

Re: Any stable bot programs for amxmodx?

My test server had AMXX 1.8.3 dev5055, CSDM 2.1.3d with podbot v3b22 installed and it ran ok. The problems I had was plugin related.

I got CS Bot Enabler to work with CSDM now. Thanks. Seems that these bots will only respawn when calling deathevent and not hamkilled. They also don't seem to follow any weapon loadouts to any weapon plugins. I have fixed the issue by spawning them with money so they can buy which is what they seem to prefer. Good plugin so far however!

I have always had problems keeping my server up with the barebones csdm/podbot/amxx/metamod combo. Makes me believe something's wrong with my server provider. You actually have no crash issues with this combo?

Re: Any stable bot programs for amxmodx?

Assuming you're using dev version, If you're using those bots with ham, you need to set true at the last param of RegisterHam or using directly RegisterHamPlayer().
Because those bots don't have "player" classname set, so you have to deal them differently.
The module just unlocks CS Bots and does nothing else, if you have a problem with it, you can be sure you either misconfigured or your plugins need an update.

Re: Any stable bot programs for amxmodx?

With Ham, they are able to respawn from all types of deaths - custom weapons and C4 explosion for example. Would you be able to call a respawn function for these bots from Ham_Killed? Or is there a work around for the DeathMsg?

No problems so far after updating everything else. Was using the v3b22 for a long time before that.

I think CSBOTS is an excellent alternative. Hopefully, updates will be made for it to function with hamsandwich because a lot of custom plugins use it. The auto nav generator for it makes it very convenient.

Re: Any stable bot programs for amxmodx?

As I've already said, if you have a plugin with Ham and you're hooking with "player", you need to update your plugins. In dev version, Ham already supports Cs bots, but you need to explicitly it, either by setting true at the last param of RegisterHam or using directly RegisterHamPlayer().

I updated from amxmodx 1.8.2, an old 1.8.3 2014 dev build, and now using the latest dev build, 1.8.3 v5068. I thought my server provider came preloaded with 1.8.2. Instead, it was an old unstable dev build no longer available for download. My server hasn't crashed yet with this new setup and PODBOT.

My scripting knowledge is very limited. If you can help out with a example, Arkshine, that'd be great. Basically, I'm just trying to get the bots to respawn through ham (or use ham functions directly). And this is the script I'm using, roughly:

public hamkilled(id)
{
set_task(0.5, "respawn", id)
}

Re: Any stable bot programs for amxmodx?

At the top of your plugin, you should have something like: RegisterHam(Ham_Killed, "player", "hamkilled");

You can replace with something like: RegisterHamPlayer(Ham_Killed, "hamkilled");

Thank you very much! I've used this example for all of my plugins using RegisterHam and it works like a charm.
