Counter Strike Bot Control
 

This plugin allows you to control the counter strike source bots more easly, you can have them them automaticly keep the server populated. You can have bots automaticly killed when all the human players are dead, and any changes can be made in the bot menu

http://eks.steamfriends.com/SourceMM/botmenu.png

Usage:
admin_botmenu

For the menu to work you need to have a admin plugin that supports the AdminInterface .

Cvars:
csb_autokill - If bots should be auto killed when no human players are alive
csb_autoadd - What the minimum amount of players are, if player count is bellow this bots are automaticly added

These cvars can be added to any .cfg file, like server.cfg

Remember, if you want bots on the server with human players. Change the cvar bot_join_after_player 0

Nice man! Works fine :)

Yes, nice man. I'll test it tomorrow.

Hello there,

is your plugin also usable with mani-admin-plugin (source-mm version) ??

If not, could you make a special version ? :)

It can be used with any other admin plugin. But the bot menu will not function untill mani has time to add the AdminInterface ( He said he is going to ).

i got every thing installed but still can not get the admin_botmenu to work i put my steam id in the ini to i can not get the the admin_menu to work to plz help and were do i change how many bot are added auto i checked meta list andall is working to. ps i am running beetles mod.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Good idea !

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

For menu support the admin plugin needs to support the AdminInterface, im gonna guess that beetlemod dont support it. You could tell the author to go to this to read about it. And the info required to add support in beetlemod.

The cvars for this plugin can be put in any .cfg file, i would personaly use server.cfg.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

If you PM me your full setup. So i can fire it up and see where the crash starts. ( I have a win server).

Other then that, if this is a windows server you can just post the crash file. mdump

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Update released, just minor tweaks.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Possible to add your own prefix before bot name?

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

rcon bot_prefix texthere

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Then am I able to also use the other Valve bot cvars with this? Sorry for the confusion as I thought the plugin handled this.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Yes.

This plugin only adds a few extra settings and provides a menu to the most commen settings. You can still play around with all the bot_ cvars

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

eh, the zipfile and so is titled as v1.0.1 but on 'meta list' it says:

CS Bot Control 1.0.0

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Thats very posible as i forgot to change the version number

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Hello,

great work again, EKS!

I am running it with BAT on my server now.

But, now I have to report some problems.

1. bot_quota can't be changed anymore, after mapstart. (only the first change in server.cfg takes effect.)

2. bot_kick is also not working. (I don't want to go ingame to reduce the bot count everytime.)

This is my setup for the plugin. But, sometimes there are more than 6 bots on the server, if there were human players on the server that had disconnect. Now my problem is, my server can't hold more than 6 bots. (performance issue ;) ).

Any ideas?

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Hi,
Sorry have wriiten it in german. Your plugin has a bug in the following code, preventing other plugins to show their menu :
You have to add a check if BotControl has a menu opened, otherwise ignore the menuselect-command to give the other plugin the possiblity to react.
The bug was reported with with my Clanmatch-Plugin.
Please change the code.....

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

change the autoadd cvar instead

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

@Roger Devil
When does this problem happen?
If it happens in this order:
Someone opens BOT menu, then opens the clan menu without closing the BOT menu there is nothing that can be done with this without adding a extra callback to the AdminInterface ( That i can think of). Atm there is no way for a plugin to know when another plugin has opend a menu ontop of another menu.
So admins need to close the menu in 1 plugin before opening it in the next

You have to add a check if BotControl has a menu opened, otherwise ignore the menuselect-command to give the other plugin the possiblity to react.

I do if you look right above that code:

Quote:

if(g_HasMenuOpen[id] == false) <-- This being the magic line that checks if the user has a menu open RETURN_META(MRES_IGNORED); if (strcmp(command,"menuselect") == 0) { char *arg1 = m_Engine->Cmd_Argv(1); //catch menu commands if (arg1) { int arg = atoi(arg1); if(arg < 1 || arg > 10) // Make sure makes no invalid selection. return; g_MenuMngr.MenuChoice(id, arg); RETURN_META(MRES_SUPERCEDE); } }

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Ok, thanks for tip.

But I have an other problem. If I setup 0 bots and if now a player disconnects, a Bot is added. How can I avoid this? The autoadd variable is at 0.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

make sure you have the updated version ( Download from first page ).

I could not reproduce your problem

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Hello there, I am the User from Rogers Plugin and I desribe the error as follows:

there is no Bot-Control open, but I can't open the menu for the clanmatch-plugin. It seems, that Bot-Control blocks the function, to open other plugins menus .....

When I run Clanmatch-Plugin and B.A.T. alone, everything is fine ....

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

PM me your addons folder, and a clear way of reproduce the posible bug. Looking at the code this plugin has no fault in how it handles menus ( Its handles menus EXACLY like BAT actualy (should at least) and ForgiveTK plugin).
Also make sure you dont have a Bot menu open when you try to use the clanmatch plugin menu, that will mean both plugins handle your menu selections and fun problems will happen.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

In your code g_bHasMenuOpen is never initialized to false.
So perhaps that could be a problem. Will also take a look furthe to what happens exactly.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Correct. I fixed that in this release.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

I use Mani Admin Plugin and not BAT.
When i type admin_botmenu the menu not appear ...
when are you update this plugin for me ? :p

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

hey chap if you bothered to read thread you would notice its mani that has to update to be compataible not other way round.. and mani is working on this... :)

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Could you add the bot join after player join server cvar? Lots of people are requesting this on the Mani Forum.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

first, why would they request things for this plugin in the mani forums?

secondly there is a cvar for it. bot_join_after_player

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

They're not directly requesting this plugin, of course. But lots of people are asking for the server cvars to let bots play online even if the server is not populated. I'd avise this plugin for them in the forum, instead of reposting the same server cvars each time.

Of course you don't need to add them, bot for every menu point of your plugin there's a server cvar. Adding this would make the plugin more complete, from my point of view.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

I have version 1.0.2 adn with the new css update when i type admin_botmenu it says unkown command. I did meta list and it says the plugin is running fine.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

Do you have BAT or mani loaded properbly? if i remember correctly its gonna give you unknown command if you dont have access to the command. I used the plugin yesterday on my lanserver ( fully updated ) and that worked fine

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

i use Mani Admin Plugin 1.2 BetaN RC 2.3 and i have the same problem.

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

does that mani version support the AdminInterface?

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

i use mani 1.2betaN as well and yes i believe so because it uses menus aswell. but mani is loaded through a VDF file so i dont see why mani would make it not work, i dont know *shrugs*

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

anything???

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
 

You need to use a mani that has the AdminInterface . I dont know what version that would be

Re: Counter Strike Bot Control
