SourceBot is a bot that you install into your server. You can set it to give helpful server info, or give it a personality, from the things it says. It floats around the server greeting the players. It has feelings about each player it encounters, and remembers what it feels about each one.

ONLY TESTED IN HL2DM SO FAR

From the ReadMe:

TO INSTALL THIS, SIMPLY DRAG THE ADDONS FOLDER INTO YOUR GAME FOLDER, AND LET IT MERGE WITH THE ADDONS FOLDER ALREADY THERE. TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR BOT, GO TO THE DATA FOLDER (addons/sourcemod/data)... CHANGING BASIC BOT INFO:: 1.Open bot_config.txt 2.Edit the name and age. 3.If you want the bot to spawn when you start the map, leave the "SpawnOnStart" value as yes, otherwise put it as no. 4.If you want the bot to spawn use a player slot, leave the "UsePlayerSlot" value as yes, otherwise put it as no. 5. Set the default speed of the bot. (1-5). 6. If you are using a game other than hl2dm, the "Model" value MUST BE CHANGED. Make sure you use the full path of the model when changing it. (models/whatever/whatever/whatever.mdl) 7. If you want the bot to float higher or lower from the ground, set its float height. CHANGING BOT BASIC RESPONSES:: 1. Open bot_responses.txt 2. Look at each section, and change some of the values on the RIGHT, if you want the bot to say different things. Experiment a little to see what gets said when. For every new response you add, order them numerically, and don't skip a number. Don't exceed the max amount either. 3. Do not add any new sections, as these are useless. If you want to add new triggers, open bot_customresponses.txt. ADDING CUSTOM RESPONSES:: 1. Open bot_customresponses.txt 2. Follow the format, and add any new triggers and responses that you want. The trigger goes on the left, and the response goes on the right. DO NOT EDIT BOT_MEMORY. That's It! Have fun with your SourceBot!

Commands:
sb_spawn -- spawns the bot
sb_kill -- kills the bot
sb_pause -- pauses the bot
sb_unpause -- unpauses the bot
sb_say <message> -- makes the bot say a message
sb_tele -- teleports the bot to you
sb_learn <message> -- makes the bot learn a message
sb_speed <1-5> -- sets the bot speed
sb_wipe -- wipes the bot's memory
sb_rate <slow/normal/fast> -- sets the bot's learning rate
sb_timer <seconds> -- sets how many seconds the bot waits before saying something when it's lonely.

Usage:
Set up the data files like in the README.

To talk to the Sourcebot, type its name in the chat, then when it responds, type your question or statement. It's as simple as that.

To kill the Sourcebot, shoot at it with any weapon. But be careful, it won't like you much if you kill it a lot.

Screenshots:






CHANGELOG::
Version 2.5 - First release
Version 2.6 - Start/End Round control & Player Slot options
Version 2.7 - Fixed Start/End Round control & Made the plugin print errors to the errors log.

Edit Again: I got the model working, but with a custom one, i must've been doing it wrong.

Also, a request, could you make it so if somebody tells it to come here, it moves over to them?
Another thing, could we get some syntax for adding messages to bot with sb_learn
Another suggestion: could you make it so you can make some custom responses show up in a panel menu?

Can i use living model for that, i mean if i use model of Zoey from l4d, what would be behavior of model, would it play animation? would it fall to the ground and become ragdoll on death?

[shustas]

hm... sounds fun

In css, it spawns only on the first round. After that, the model doesnt spawn back. All the responses and that are working.

Plus these errors:

It turns the model into a physics prop..so no animations.

Another thing, could we get some syntax for adding messages to bot with sb_learn Another suggestion: could you make it so you can make some custom responses show up in a panel menu?

Explain those please I don't understand what you want.

Those errors means that the entity no longer exists. I'm sorry I don't know CSS events, if someone knows how to catch a new round in CSS, please tell me how, I'll make it spawn again after a new round.

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

in regards to the sb_learn. I'm not sure exactly what that does or how to use it, what does it do?

In regards to the menu, if i wanted to show the rules or something, it needs a menu to pop up (like admin menu or panel messages) because using chat would not be organized properly, or fit all the rules in one message well.

Edit: Forgot to post some errors

For sb_learn:
Normally the bot will learn things from what people type in chat.

Player 1: run to cover!
Player 2: here they come!
Player 1: gotta reload

The bot might learn the phrase: gotta reload
It saves to it's memory, and the bot will repeat it later.

Player 1: Aw man i died
Bot: gotta reload

sb_learn forces something into the bot's memory.

And as for the errors, they look as though they are there because of the player slot filler. I'll add an option to turn that off.

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

yeah I'd rather have it so that it didn't take up a player slot.
